Abha Surgy Centre - Frequently Asked Questions on Fertility, Gynaecology

01.What is IVF?

02.Is IVF painful?

03. What are the steps involved in IVF?

Step 1: Consultation & Fertility Testing

We begin with a detailed consultation and suggest fertility tests for both partners.

At Abha Surgy, we check hormone levels, egg reserve, sperm quality, and do an ultrasound-so we can plan the best IVF protocol for you.

Step 2: Ovarian Stimulation (10-12 Days)

Hormonal injections are given to help your ovaries produce multiple eggs instead of just one.

Don’t worry-our doctors at Abha Surgy will guide you through the injections and monitor your progress with ultrasounds and blood tests every few days.

Step 3: Egg Retrieval (Day Procedure)

Once your eggs are ready, we do a short procedure to collect them.

Takes about 15-20 minutes. You go home the same day. At Abha Surgy, we ensure this is done gently and safely.

Step 4: Fertilization in the Lab

We mix the collected eggs with sperm in our advanced IVF lab to create embryos. Our embryologists at Abha Surgy carefully monitor them as they grow for 3-5 days.

Step 5: Embryo Transfer

One healthy embryo is selected and gently placed into your uterus using a thin tube.

At Abha Surgy we are technically advanced with the latest medical equipment’s to ensure that the entire embryo transfer process is undertaken with great care and precision under the guidance on experienced medical practitioners in the field.

Step 6: Pregnancy Test (After 14 Days)

After two weeks, a blood test is taken to check if the embryo has been implanted.

If it’s positive, we at Abha Surgy Centre celebrate with you. If not, we do not dishearten you but discuss next steps with care and clarity to help turn a failed attempt into success.

In addition Abha Surgy Centre also has facilities for Embryo Donation and encourages individuals to donate their embryos for a cause.

04.When do you need IVF?

You might need IVF if you’re facing challenges with natural conception. Some common reasons include:

Blocked or damaged fallopian tubes – eggs and sperm can’t meet naturally.
Severe male infertility – very low sperm count or poor sperm quality.
Unexplained infertility – when tests don’t show a clear cause but pregnancy isn’t happening.
Endometriosis or uterine problems – conditions affecting the uterus or ovaries.
Failed other fertility treatments – such as ovulation induction or intrauterine insemination (IUI).
Age-related infertility – when natural fertility declines, especially after 35.

At Abha Surgy Centre, an IVF clinic in Kolkata, our expert fertility specialists will evaluate your unique situation, explain all options, and guide you through the best treatment path – including IVF if it’s right for you.

05.What are the success rates of IVF?

06.Does IVF have risks and side effects?

IVF can have some risks and side effects, but most women go through it safely. Some common ones include:

Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS): Sometimes, fertility medicines cause your ovaries to swell and become painful. This usually goes away with rest and treatment.
Multiple Pregnancies: IVF can increase the chance of twins or more, which may carry extra risks during pregnancy.
Mood Swings or Emotional Stress: IVF can be emotionally challenging, so support from our care team is important.
Bleeding or Infection: Rarely, minor complications can happen from procedures like egg retrieval.

At Abha Surgy Centre, your safety and comfort are our priority. We monitor you closely and provide care to reduce risks and help you manage any possible side effects.

07.What are the implications of using donor eggs or sperm?

Using donor eggs or sperm can help people facing certain fertility challenges have a baby. But there are some important things to consider:

Genetic Connection: The baby won’t share genes with one parent if donor eggs or sperm are used.
Legal and Emotional Factors: Laws about donor anonymity and parental rights vary. It’s important to understand these before proceeding.
Medical Screening: Donors are carefully screened for health and genetic conditions to ensure safety.
Emotional Impact: Using donors can bring up feelings or questions for parents and children later on.
Ethical and Cultural Views: Some families or communities may have specific beliefs about donor use, which should be respected.

At Abha Surgy Centre, we provide thorough counselling and support to help you understand all aspects of donor egg or sperm use, so you can make the best choice for your family.

Consultation and Fertility Tests: To check fertility and plan your treatment.
Medications: Hormone injections to stimulate egg production – this can be a significant part of the cost.

12.What is the process of embryo/ egg freezing in more detail?

Egg freezing (oocyte cryopreservation) and embryo freezing are advanced fertility preservation methods that allow individuals or couples to store their reproductive cells for future use. At an Abha Surgy Centre, egg/ embryo freezing processes are undertaken with great care and precision. Here’s how the process works:

Step-by-Step: Egg Freezing

1 Ovarian Stimulation You receive hormone injections (for about 10–12 days) to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs.
2Monitoring & Scans Our fertility specialists monitor your response through blood tests and ultrasounds to check the growth of your follicles (which contain the eggs).
3Egg Retrieval (OPU – Ovum Pick Up) Once the eggs are mature, they are collected through a minor outpatient procedure under sedation.
4Freezing (Vitrification) The mature, high-quality eggs are frozen using a fast-freezing technique called vitrification, which prevents ice crystals and preserves egg integrity.

Step-by-Step: Embryo Freezing

1Ovarian Stimulation & Egg Retrieval Similar to egg freezing, the female partner undergoes stimulation and retrieval.
2Fertilization The eggs are fertilized in the lab with sperm (partner’s or donor’s) to create embryos.
3Embryo Culture Embryos are grown in the lab for 3-5 days (to the blastocyst stage).
4Freezing (Vitrification) Healthy embryos are frozen and safely stored in our cryopreservation lab for future use.

Women who want to delay pregnancy (due to career, studies, or personal reasons)
