IVF may be recommended for individuals or couples experiencing:​

• Blocked or damaged fallopian tubes

• Male factor infertility, such as low sperm count or motility

• Ovulation disorders​

• Endometriosis​

• Unexplained infertility after other treatments have failed

The IVF process can last anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks prior to egg retrieval. A single embryo may be implanted between 2-5 days after the OPU, but the doctor may decide to freeze the embryos for transfer on later dates when the uterine lining is more suitable.​
​

Egg retrieval is performed under sedation, so patients do not feel pain during the procedure. Post-procedure, some may experience mild discomfort or cramping, which usually subsides within a few days.

Patients are typically advised to avoid vigorous exercise, such as aerobics, weightlifting, and running, during ovarian stimulation and until pregnancy results are known. Additionally, herbal supplements are generally prohibited during the IVF process.

The risk is minimal, which is why many governments offer publicly funded IVF cycles — up to 6 in Europe, 12 in Australia, and even unlimited in Israel.

While IVF is generally safe, potential risks include:​

• Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS)​
• Multiple pregnancies​
• Ectopic pregnancy​
• Procedure-related complications, such as bleeding or infection

Discussing these risks with your fertility specialist can provide a clearer understanding based on your specific situation.

Preparation may involve lifestyle modifications, such as maintaining a healthy diet, achieving a healthy weight, and avoiding tobacco and excessive alcohol. Your doctor may also recommend specific tests and medications to optimize treatment outcomes. The doctor may recommend certain supplements to help improve egg and sperm quality.

Insurance coverage for IVF varies by provider and policy. It's important to review your insurance plan and discuss financial options with your fertility clinic to understand the costs involved.​
