In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) is an advanced fertility treatment that helps couples achieve pregnancy when conception does not occur naturally or when other fertility treatments may not be suitable.
At Miraai Fertility, Seawoods, Navi Mumbai, IVF treatment is planned based on your individual fertility history, medical evaluation, age, and reproductive goals. Dr. Priya Khamatkar, Fertility Specialist and Director, provides personalised and evidence-based fertility care with a focus on clear guidance, ethical treatment, and compassionate support.

IVF, or In Vitro Fertilisation, is an assisted reproductive technology (ART) in which eggs and sperm are brought together in a laboratory to facilitate fertilisation. A resulting embryo may then be transferred into the uterus.
The IVF journey generally involves ovarian stimulation, egg retrieval, fertilisation, embryo development and embryo transfer. The exact treatment plan varies depending on individual fertility factors.
IVF may be considered for couples experiencing different types of fertility challenges, including:
A fertility specialist can determine whether IVF or another treatment approach is appropriate after evaluating both partners.
Although every IVF cycle is personalised, the treatment generally follows these stages:
Your medical history, reproductive health, previous treatments and fertility test results are reviewed. Tests may be recommended to understand ovarian reserve, ovulation, sperm health and other relevant factors.
Medications may be prescribed to stimulate the ovaries to develop multiple follicles during the treatment cycle. Monitoring helps the fertility specialist assess follicular development.
When the follicles are ready, eggs are collected from the ovaries through a planned medical procedure.
The retrieved eggs are combined with sperm in the laboratory. Depending on the individual situation, conventional IVF or an advanced fertilisation technique such as ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) may be considered.
Fertilised eggs are monitored as they develop into embryos under controlled laboratory conditions.
A selected embryo may be transferred into the uterus. Your fertility specialist will guide you regarding the appropriate timing and approach.
A pregnancy test is performed at the appropriate time following embryo transfer to determine whether implantation has resulted in pregnancy.
IVF may form part of treatment planning for several fertility conditions.
IVF may be considered when factors such as blocked fallopian tubes, reduced ovarian reserve, endometriosis or certain ovulation problems affect natural conception.
Male fertility factors can contribute significantly to difficulty conceiving. Depending on sperm count, movement and morphology, treatment may involve IVF with or without ICSI.
When routine fertility investigations do not identify a clear cause of infertility, IVF may be considered after discussing other appropriate treatment options.
For couples who have experienced unsuccessful fertility treatment previously, a detailed review of the medical history and previous treatment outcomes can help guide the next treatment plan.
At Miraai Fertility in Seawoods, Navi Mumbai, fertility treatment is approached with an emphasis on personalised care and informed decision-making.
Under the guidance of Dr. Priya Khamatkar, treatment planning considers your fertility profile, medical history, previous treatment experience and individual reproductive goals.
The goal is to help you understand your options and make informed decisions at every stage of your fertility journey.
IVF outcomes can vary considerably between individuals and treatment cycles. Factors that may influence outcomes include:
Your fertility specialist can discuss the factors that may be relevant to your individual situation.
No fertility treatment can guarantee pregnancy, and treatment recommendations should be based on a personalised medical evaluation.
Some parts of IVF treatment may cause temporary discomfort, including injections, ovarian stimulation and egg retrieval. The level of discomfort varies from person to person.
Your fertility team can explain what to expect during each stage and provide appropriate guidance to help you prepare for treatment.
An IVF cycle typically involves several stages over a number of weeks, although the exact timeline varies depending on the treatment protocol and individual response.
Your fertility specialist will provide a personalised treatment schedule and explain when monitoring, egg retrieval, embryo transfer and pregnancy testing are expected to take place.
Fertility treatment can be emotionally demanding as well as physically challenging. Uncertainty, waiting periods and previous treatment experiences may affect couples differently.
At Miraai Fertility, patients are encouraged to ask questions, understand their treatment plan and discuss concerns openly with their fertility care team.
Having realistic expectations and appropriate emotional support can make the fertility treatment journey easier to navigate.
