Understanding Infertility: Why Couples Struggle to Conceive
Infertility is defined as the inability to conceive after 12 months of regular, unprotected intercourse (6 months if the woman is over 35). It affects approximately 1 in 6 couples worldwide. Infertility is not just a woman's problem — male factor infertility accounts for 40–50% of all cases.
In many cases, infertility has a treatable cause. IVF (In Vitro Fertilisation) is the most effective assisted reproductive technology and has helped over 8 million babies be born worldwide since 1978.
- Ovulation disorders — irregular or absent ovulation (PCOS is the most common cause)
- Blocked or damaged fallopian tubes — often caused by pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) or endometriosis
- Endometriosis — tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, causing inflammation and scarring
- Uterine fibroids or polyps — benign growths that can interfere with implantation
- Male factor infertility — low sperm count (oligospermia), poor sperm motility, or abnormal sperm shape
- Azoospermia — no sperm in the ejaculate; surgical sperm retrieval (TESA/PESA) may be needed
- Unexplained infertility — no identifiable cause found in either partner (20–30% of cases)
- Age-related decline in egg quality — fertility declines significantly after age 35
The IVF Process: Step by Step
IVF involves fertilising an egg with sperm outside the body in a laboratory, then transferring the resulting embryo into the uterus. A single IVF cycle takes approximately 2–3 weeks from the start of stimulation to embryo transfer.
- Step 1 — Ovarian stimulation: daily hormone injections (FSH/LH) for 10–14 days to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs
- Step 2 — Egg retrieval: eggs are collected from the ovaries under sedation using a transvaginal ultrasound-guided needle (30-minute procedure)
- Step 3 — Fertilisation: eggs are fertilised with sperm in the laboratory; ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection) is used when sperm quality is poor
- Step 4 — Embryo culture: fertilised eggs are cultured in the laboratory for 3–5 days until they reach the blastocyst stage
- Step 5 — Embryo transfer: 1–2 embryos are transferred into the uterus through a thin catheter (painless procedure)
- Step 6 — Pregnancy test: blood test 14 days after embryo transfer to check for pregnancy
- Frozen embryo transfer (FET): extra embryos can be frozen for future cycles, reducing cost and medication
Advanced IVF Techniques Available in India
India's top IVF centres offer all advanced reproductive technologies at a fraction of the cost charged in the USA, UK, or UAE. Success rates at leading Indian IVF centres are comparable to the best centres in the world.
- ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) — a single sperm is injected directly into the egg; used for severe male factor infertility
- PGT-A (Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy) — embryos are tested for chromosomal abnormalities before transfer; improves success rates and reduces miscarriage risk
- Donor egg IVF — eggs from a young, healthy donor are used when the patient's own eggs are of poor quality (age-related or premature ovarian failure)
- Donor sperm IVF — used for single women or couples with severe male factor infertility
- Surrogacy — available in India under strict legal regulations for medical indications
- Embryo freezing (vitrification) — rapid freezing preserves embryos for future cycles with high survival rates
- ERA (Endometrial Receptivity Analysis) — tests the uterine lining to find the optimal window for embryo transfer in patients with repeated implantation failure
IVF Success Rates and What to Expect
IVF success rates depend primarily on the woman's age and the cause of infertility. India's top IVF centres achieve success rates of 55–65% per cycle for women under 35 using their own eggs — comparable to the best centres in the USA and Europe.
Many couples need more than one IVF cycle to achieve a pregnancy. The cumulative success rate after 3 cycles is significantly higher than after a single cycle.
- Under 35 years: 55–65% success rate per cycle (own eggs)
- 35–37 years: 45–55% success rate per cycle
- 38–40 years: 30–40% success rate per cycle
- Over 40 years: 15–25% success rate per cycle (own eggs); 50–60% with donor eggs
- Multiple pregnancy risk: 15–20% chance of twins with double embryo transfer
- Mild OHSS (ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome): occurs in 10–20% of cycles; severe OHSS is rare (1–2%)
- Most couples from overseas complete the stimulation and egg retrieval in India, then return home; frozen embryo transfer can be done on a second visit

How Wiseheal Healthcare Helps You
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does IVF cost in India per cycle?
IVF in India costs $2,500–$3,500 USD per cycle including all medications, egg retrieval, embryo transfer, and monitoring. IVF with ICSI costs $3,000–$4,500. This is 70% cheaper than the USA ($15,000–$25,000) and UK (£5,000–£8,000).
What are the IVF success rates at Indian hospitals?
Top IVF centres in Delhi NCR achieve 60%+ success rates per cycle for women under 35. Success rates decrease with age: approximately 40–50% for ages 35–40 and 20–30% for ages 40–45. We work with centres that have transparent success rate data.
Is egg donation available in India for foreign patients?
Yes. Egg donation IVF is available at select accredited fertility centres in India for foreign patients. The total cost including donor fees, IVF procedure, and medications is $4,000–$6,000 USD. We help identify the right centre for your situation.
How many IVF cycles will I need?
Most patients achieve pregnancy within 1–3 IVF cycles. Even with 2–3 cycles in India, the total cost is significantly less than a single cycle in the USA or UK. We recommend sending your fertility investigations for a personalised assessment before travelling.
How long do I need to stay in India for IVF treatment?
A standard IVF cycle requires 3–4 weeks in India. Some patients do initial hormone monitoring in their home country and travel to India only for egg retrieval and embryo transfer, reducing the stay to 7–10 days. We help plan the most efficient schedule.
What documents do I need to send for an IVF cost estimate?
Send us your recent fertility tests: AMH level, antral follicle count (AFC), semen analysis, hormone profile (FSH, LH, E2 on Day 2–3), and any previous IVF records. We will get a personalised treatment plan and cost estimate within 24 hours.
