At Proventus Nursing Home ( Maa Institute of reproductive medicine and IVF Centre), we understand that the path to parenthood can be filled with hope, challenges, and questions. In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) has emerged as a reliable and effective solution for couples facing infertility. If you’re considering IVF, here’s a detailed, step-by-step guide to help you understand the process.


Step 1: Initial Consultation and Evaluation

Your journey starts with a consultation at Proventus Nursing Home. Our fertility specialists conduct a thorough evaluation, including:

  • Hormonal blood tests
  • Ultrasound scans to assess reproductive health
  • Semen analysis for the male partner

This helps us understand the root cause of infertility and tailor the treatment accordingly.


Step 2: Ovarian Stimulation

The female partner is prescribed hormone injections to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs. Throughout this stage, we closely monitor progress with ultrasound and blood tests to ensure optimal follicle growth.


Step 3: Egg Retrieval (Ovum Pick-Up)

Once the eggs are mature, they are retrieved through a short, minimally invasive procedure performed under light sedation. This procedure is safe, quick, and performed at our center.


Step 4: Sperm Collection and Fertilization

On the day of egg retrieval, the male partner provides a semen sample. Using advanced lab techniques, we fertilize the eggs with selected healthy sperm to create embryos.


Step 5: Embryo Development

The fertilized eggs are monitored in our state-of-the-art lab for 3 to 5 days. Our experienced embryologists ensure that only the best quality embryos are selected for transfer.


Step 6: Embryo Transfer

A healthy embryo is gently placed into the woman’s uterus through a simple, painless procedure. Any additional high-quality embryos can be cryopreserved for future use.


Step 7: The Waiting Period

The next 10–14 days are crucial. During this time, we advise rest and emotional support. Our team is always available to guide you through this anxious phase.


Step 8: Pregnancy Confirmation

A blood test (Beta hCG) is conducted to confirm pregnancy. If positive, we follow up with ultrasound scans to check the location development of the embryo and confirm a heartbeat.
