In Vitro Fertilization
IVF Treatment
The gold standard in fertility treatment
Overview
In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is an advanced reproductive technology where eggs are fertilized by sperm outside the body in our state-of-the-art laboratory. The resulting embryos are then carefully transferred to the uterus to establish pregnancy. At Blossom Fertility, we use the latest techniques and personalized protocols to maximize your chances of success.
Key Benefits
The Process
Initial Consultation
Comprehensive evaluation of your medical history, physical examination, and diagnostic testing to create your personalized treatment plan.
Ovarian Stimulation
Daily hormone injections for 10–14 days to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs, with regular monitoring appointments.
Egg Retrieval
A minor outpatient procedure where eggs are collected from the ovaries using ultrasound guidance under light sedation.
Fertilization & Culture
Eggs are fertilized with sperm in our laboratory and monitored as they develop into embryos over 5–6 days.
Embryo Transfer
One or more healthy embryos are gently transferred to the uterus using a thin catheter. This is a quick, painless procedure.
Pregnancy Test
A blood test approximately 10–12 days after transfer confirms whether pregnancy has been achieved.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many eggs are typically retrieved?
This varies by age and response, but most patients produce 8–15 eggs per cycle. Quality is more important than quantity.

One IVF cycle typically takes 4–6 weeks from the start of medication to pregnancy test.
Is IVF painful?
Most patients experience minimal discomfort. The egg retrieval is done under sedation, and the embryo transfer is similar to a Pap smear.
