It’s cheaper than IVF, it’s quick, and it doesn’t put you through much. In 2026 a single cycle costs somewhere between ₹8,000 and ₹35,000. Where you land mostly comes down to how much medication you need, and which clinic you walk into. “IUI is usually the gentlest first step. But the price can swing a lot once injections come in, so I tell couples to ask for the full breakdown before they commit,” says Dr. Mohit Saraogi, an IVF and fertility specialist at Saraogi Hospital in Mumbai. Thinking about an IUI cycle this year? Talk it through with the team at Saraogi IVF Centre.[](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) [Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## What Is IUI Treatment? ![Doctor explains IUI treatment to a couple during a clinic consultation with a uterus diagram on a screen behind them](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDI0IiBoZWlnaHQ9IjUwNyIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDEwMjQgNTA3Ij48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojY2ZkNGRiO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg== "Picture1185 - Saraogi Hospital") IUI is short for intrauterine insemination. In plain terms, washed and concentrated sperm gets placed straight into the uterus around the time you ovulate. That gives the sperm a head start and a better shot at fertilising the egg. The cycle can run naturally, or with a little ovulation medication to nudge things along. Either way, it’s done in the clinic and over fairly quickly. Doctors usually point couples toward[ ](https://saraogihospital.com/iui-treatment-in-mumbai/)[IUI treatment in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/iui-treatment-in-mumbai/) and elsewhere when there’s mild[ ](https://saraogihospital.com/importance-of-semen-analysis-in-male-infertility-treatment/)[male-factor infertility](https://saraogihospital.com/importance-of-semen-analysis-in-male-infertility-treatment/), so think slightly low count or motility, plus unexplained infertility, a cervical or ovulation issue, or when donor sperm is in the picture. For the tougher cases, they’ll lean toward IVF or ICSI instead. ## IUI Treatment Cost in India in 2026 Medication is the part that really moves your bill. A natural cycle is the cheapest thing going. The moment injections enter the picture, the number starts climbing. Here’s roughly how 2026 looks. **Type of IUITypical cost per cycle**Natural cycle (no stimulation)₹5,000 to ₹10,000Medicated / stimulated cycle₹15,000 to ₹35,000IUI with donor sperm₹18,000 to ₹30,000Set that against[ ](https://saraogihospital.com/ivf-cost-in-mumbai/)[the cost of IVF in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/ivf-cost-in-mumbai/), which runs more like ₹90,000 to ₹1,50,000 a cycle, and you can see why IUI is the lighter way to begin. ## Per-Cycle Cost Breakdown Here’s where the money actually goes in one cycle. These shift around by clinic and city, so treat them as a guide, not gospel. **Cost component** **Typical range** Consultation and monitoring ₹2,000 to ₹3,000 Blood tests and scans ₹1,500 to ₹3,000 Ovulation-inducing medication ₹600 to ₹6,000+ Semen washing and preparation ₹3,000 to ₹5,000 IUI procedure charges ₹5,000 to ₹8,000 Keep the[ ](https://saraogihospital.com/how-is-infertility-diagnosed/)[diagnostic tests](https://saraogihospital.com/how-is-infertility-diagnosed/) and medication light and most couples spend ₹10,000 to ₹20,000. Pile on full monitoring and stimulation and you’re nearer ₹15,000 to ₹35,000. ## Key Factors Affecting IUI Cost in 2026 ![Infographic on IUI treatment cost factors showing six categories: fertility meds, iui procedure fee, doctor consultation, lab testing, donor sperm options, and ultrasound monitoring with central shield icon.](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MzkiIGhlaWdodD0iNTYzIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTM5IDU2MyI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Picture1186 - Saraogi Hospital") A handful of things decide where you sit in that range. Your protocol is the big one, because a stimulated cycle always costs more than a natural one. Drug choices and the amount of[ ](https://saraogihospital.com/ovarian-stimulation-what-one-should-know/)[ovarian stimulation](https://saraogihospital.com/ovarian-stimulation-what-one-should-know/) you need pile on from there. Donor sperm brings screening and processing fees with it. More scans and blood work mean more cost. And the clinic itself matters a lot, since the fancier metro labs tend to charge a premium for the same procedure. ## City-Wise IUI Cost Comparison Your city nudges the price too. Here’s the rough lay of the land across India. **City / region** **Typical IUI cost per cycle** Mumbai ₹10,000 to ₹30,000 Delhi NCR ₹12,000 to ₹25,000 Bengaluru ₹10,000 to ₹25,000 Hyderabad ₹7,000 to ₹25,000 Chennai ₹7,500 to ₹22,000 Pune ₹10,000 to ₹25,000 Smaller towns ₹5,000 to ₹15,000 Smaller towns usually come in a bit lower. That said, I’d worry far more about the lab and the doctor than the postcode on the address. ## IUI vs IVF Cost: Which Is Right for You? IUI costs a fraction of what IVF does, which is exactly why most people start there. The table lays it out side by side. **Factor** **IUI** **IVF** Cost per cycle ₹8,000 to ₹35,000 ₹90,000 to ₹1,50,000 Invasiveness Low Higher Best suited for Mild or unexplained infertility Blocked tubes, severe male factor, repeated failure Success per cycle About 10 to 20% About 30 to 50% IVF earns its higher price tag when there are blocked tubes, serious male-factor problems, or a run of failed IUIs behind you.

Most doctors want to see two or three rounds before they rethink the plan. Per cycle, the odds sit around 10% to 20% for good candidates. After each go, your clinic will walk you through[ ](https://saraogihospital.com/13-day-post-iui-what-to-expect-how-to-test-dr-saraogis-expert-tips/)what to expect in the days after an [IUI](https://saraogihospital.com/13-day-post-iui-what-to-expect-how-to-test-dr-saraogis-expert-tips/). So budget for a few attempts, not a single roll of the dice. ## When to Consult a Fertility Specialist A few signs say it’s time to get a specialist involved. Trying for over a year, or over six months if you’re past 35. A low sperm count or weak motility. IUI or IVF cycles that just didn’t take.[ ](https://saraogihospital.com/repeated-pregnancy-failure-all-you-need-to-know/)[Recurrent pregnancy loss](https://saraogihospital.com/repeated-pregnancy-failure-all-you-need-to-know/) or failed implantation. Or a known issue like[ ](https://saraogihospital.com/how-does-pcos-affect-your-fertility/)[PCOS](https://saraogihospital.com/how-does-pcos-affect-your-fertility/), endometriosis, or blocked tubes. Catch any of these early and you usually keep more options open. ## Conclusion IUI is one of the kinder, cheaper ways to get started with fertility treatment in India. For 2026, plan on something like ₹8,000 to ₹35,000 a cycle, with medication as the wildcard. Ask for an itemised quote, give yourself room for two or three tries, and pick a clinic that won’t quietly tack on charges. Still weighing your options?

[Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## Frequently Asked Questions ##### Q1: How much does IUI cost in India in 2026? Roughly ₹8,000 to ₹35,000 a cycle. A natural cycle sits at the bottom of that, and a medicated one with injections sits near the top. The fee usually covers your scans, the sperm washing, and the insemination itself. ##### Q2: Is IUI cheaper than IVF? By a long way. IUI is about ₹8,000 to ₹35,000 a cycle, while IVF in India is closer to ₹90,000 to ₹1,50,000. That gap is why plenty of couples try IUI before considering IVF. ##### Q3: Does the IUI cost include medication? Sometimes, not always. A few clinics fold the ovulation meds in; others bill them on top. They can add ₹5,000 to ₹10,000 or more, so get it in writing before you start. ##### Q4: How many IUI cycles will I need? Usually two or three. The per-cycle odds are around 10% to 20% for the right candidates. If three rounds come up empty, most doctors will talk to you about IVF. ##### Q5: What does IUI with donor sperm cost? Around ₹18,000 to ₹30,000 a cycle in India. The donor sample sits on top of the base price, and it varies by sperm bank and clinic, so check the full figure first. **References** - Research, National ART Registry:[ ](https://www.icmr.gov.in/) - ESHRE – ART and IUI Guidelines:[ ](https://www.eshre.eu/Guidelines-and-Legal) **Disclaimer:** The content shared on this page is for informational purposes and not for promotional use. ### Trackbacks/Pingbacks 1.

Men experience a decline too, though it arrives later and moves more gradually. Most couples assume fertility holds fairly steady until the late 30s, and that assumption often costs valuable time. Understanding how age actually affects both partners changes how soon people decide to seek help. Dr. Mohit Saraogi, one of the [Best IVF Doctor in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/), explains, “Patients are frequently surprised by how early egg quality and quantity begin to decline. Men have more time than women, but not unlimited time. Once couples understand where they actually stand, the decisions they make about timing and treatment tend to look quite different.” Wondering how your age is currently affecting your fertility? Get a proper evaluation from a specialist before assuming anything. [Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## How Does Age Affect Female and Male Fertility? Age changes fertility for both partners. The timeline and the mechanism look quite different though. Egg quantity and quality decline: Women are born with every egg they will ever have. Both number and quality drop steadily from the late 20s onward. Then speed up after 35. Miscarriage risk rises: Older eggs carry more chromosomal abnormalities. This raises miscarriage risk. It also raises certain genetic conditions as maternal age climbs. IVF success rates fall with age: Age remains one of the strongest predictors of IVF outcome. Live birth rates per embryo transfer drop substantially between the early 30s and early 40s. Male fertility declines more gradually: Sperm quality motility and genetic integrity decline with age too. This usually shows up later. Often the mid-to-late 40s. And less dramatically than the female decline. Since age-related egg loss is largely irreversible [egg freezing](https://saraogihospital.com/egg-freezing-in-mumbai/) has become a common way for women to preserve options before that decline goes further. ## What Should You Do If Age Is Already Affecting Your Fertility? Age alone doesn’t rule out pregnancy. It does change the timeline for making decisions though. Get evaluated sooner not later: Women over 35 trying to conceive for six months rather than the usual year are generally advised to get a fertility evaluation. Ovarian reserve testing: AMH and FSH blood tests, sometimes paired with an antral follicle count, give a realistic picture of where things stand right now. Consider IVF sooner if needed: Outcomes shift quickly with age. Waiting through multiple natural attempts can cost more time than moving to assisted reproduction earlier. Egg freezing as a preservation option: For women not ready to conceive yet freezing eggs at a younger age can meaningfully improve future odds. Ovarian reserve is often the first number that reveals how much age has already affected fertility. Our blog on [low ovarian reserve](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/what-is-low-ovarian-reserve-and-ways-to-treat-it/) explains what a low result actually means. And which treatment paths still make sense. ## Why Choose Dr. Mohit Saraogi for Age-Related Fertility Care? [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/) brings thirteen years across gynaecology obstetrics and clinical embryology to fertility cases where age plays a central role. He has treated over 18,000 patients at IRIS IVF Centre with success rates above 70% for women under 35. Every evaluation includes a realistic conversation about what a patient’s own numbers mean for their timeline. Not a generic age-based estimate. That honesty shapes decisions well before a first treatment cycle ever begins. Curious what your own numbers say about your fertility timeline? A simple hormone panel gives a far clearer answer than age alone. [Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## Frequently Asked Questions ##### At what age does fertility start to decline? Fertility peaks in the early to mid-20s. It declines gradually after 30. ##### Does age affect male fertility as much as female fertility? Yes but more gradually. Noticeable changes typically start after the mid-40s. ##### Why does age lower a woman's chance of conceiving? Egg quantity and quality both decline. This raises miscarriage and chromosomal risk. ##### Does age affect IVF success rates too? Yes. IVF success rates fall steadily with age especially after 35. ## References: [](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9158433/) - [NCBI/PMC — Knowledge differences on the impact of age on fertility among fertile and subfertile women](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12542992/) - [NCBI/PMC — Ovarian ageing and the impact on female fertility](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6259486/) ## Disclaimer: This blog is intended for informational purposes only and should not be considered a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. **Categories:** Blog --- ### [Does Health Insurance Cover IVF in India?](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/does-health-insurance-cover-ivf-in-india/) **Published:** August 27, 2026 **Author:** Dr. Mohit Saraogi **Content:** # Does Health Insurance Cover IVF in India? by [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/author/drmohitsaraogi/ "Posts by Dr. Mohit Saraogi") | Aug 27, 2026 ![Does Health Insurance Cover IVF in India](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDgwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjY3NSIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDEwODAgNjc1Ij48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojY2ZkNGRiO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg==) IVF insurance in India doesn’t work the way most people expect health coverage to work. Standard health insurance plans cover hospitalization and surgery. IVF sits outside that by default, almost everywhere. Getting IVF insurance coverage usually means a specific rider, a corporate group policy, or a newer specialized fertility plan. A standard retail policy rarely does the job. Knowing this early saves a lot of confusion when a claim comes back denied. Dr. Mohit Saraogi, a fertility specialist at one of the [Best IVF Centre In Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/), explains, “Patients often assume their existing health policy covers at least part of an IVF cycle. That assumption costs them time when the claim gets rejected. IRDAI has never made IVF coverage mandatory. Most standard policies list infertility as an exclusion outright. Couples who check their policy wording early, or look into a fertility rider before starting treatment, avoid that surprise entirely.” Not sure whether your current policy covers any part of IVF? Get a clear cost and coverage breakdown from our team. [Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## Why Doesn't Standard Health Insurance Cover IVF in India? The exclusion isn’t an oversight. It comes down to how insurers and regulators have historically treated fertility care. Historical classification: IVF was long treated as elective rather than medically necessary. That classification placed it outside what standard hospitalization policies were built to cover. No IRDAI mandate: The insurance regulator has never required insurers to include IVF in standard policies. The decision to exclude it, or offer it as a paid add-on, sits entirely with individual insurers. Sub-limits and waiting periods: Even policies offering some fertility coverage often cap the payout well below actual cost. Waiting periods apply before a claim becomes eligible. The ART Act doesn’t touch insurance: India’s 2021 ART Act regulates how fertility clinics operate and protects patient and donor rights. It says nothing about insurance coverage. Understanding what a policy will and won’t pay for matters just as much as understanding the [IVF cost in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/ivf-cost-in-mumbai/) itself. Together, they determine what a couple actually pays out of pocket. ## How Can You Actually Get IVF Insurance Coverage in India? The picture isn’t entirely bleak. A few specific paths exist for couples willing to plan ahead. Read the exclusions section carefully: Search the policy document for terms like “ART,” “infertility,” or “assisted reproduction” under exclusions. Don’t assume coverage exists just because the policy mentions maternity benefits. Ask about add-on riders: Some insurers now allow a fertility rider at renewal. This can work out cheaper than buying an entirely new specialized policy. Check corporate group policies: Larger employers have started adding fertility benefits to group health insurance. Waiting periods here are sometimes shorter than individual retail plans. Look into limited government schemes: Central schemes like CGHS and ESIC subsidize some fertility-related costs for eligible beneficiaries. Coverage is narrow and specific to those programs. Insurance is only one part of managing the overall cost of treatment. Our [IUI treatment cost breakdown](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/iui-treatment-cost-in-india-2026/) walks through the lower-cost option many couples consider before moving to IVF (IUI and IVF cannot be done side by side). ## Why Choose Dr. Mohit Saraogi for IVF Planning in Mumbai?

How many eggs remain in reserve. Whether ovulation is happening the way it should. Whether an underlying metabolic imbalance is working against conception. A handful of tests drawn on the right cycle day cover most of what matters clinically. Not every hormone on a standard lab panel carries equal weight for fertility though. Knowing which ones do saves both time and money. Dr. Mohit Saraogi, one of the [Best IVF Doctor in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/), explains, “Patients often bring in a long list of hormone results and ask what all of it means. Most of it is useful context. A smaller set actually changes the treatment plan. AMH and a day 2 or 3 panel tell us more about where we’re starting from than almost anything else we order.” Not sure which hormone tests you actually need before your first consultation? Get a clear targeted panel from a fertility specialist. [Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## Which Hormone Tests Matter Most for Ovarian Reserve and Ovulation? These are the tests that most directly shape a fertility treatment plan. AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone): This is the single most reliable marker of ovarian reserve available today. It doesn’t fluctuate with the menstrual cycle. It can be drawn on any day. FSH (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone): A day 2 or 3 blood draw shows how hard the body is working to stimulate egg growth. Elevated levels often point to declining reserve. LH (Luteinizing Hormone): This hormone triggers ovulation. An imbalanced LH-to-FSH ratio is one of the classic markers used in diagnosing PCOS. Progesterone: A mid-luteal phase progesterone test confirms whether ovulation actually occurred that cycle. That’s a separate question from whether the ovaries have eggs to release. An [infertility treatment](https://saraogihospital.com/infertility-treatment-mumbai/) evaluation typically starts with exactly these four tests. They give the clearest picture of ovarian reserve and ovulatory function before anything else gets added to the panel. ## What Other Hormone Tests Are Used to Evaluate Fertility? Beyond ovarian reserve and ovulation, a few other hormones round out a complete fertility hormone tests panel. TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone): Both an underactive and overactive thyroid can disrupt ovulation. Thyroid dysfunction is common enough that it’s checked routinely, not just when symptoms appear. Prolactin: Elevated prolactin can suppress ovulation entirely. It’s often ordered alongside TSH since the two hormones are closely linked in infertile women. Testosterone and DHEAS: These androgens help confirm a PCOS diagnosis when levels run high. They’re typically interpreted alongside LH and FSH rather than in isolation. Estradiol: Measured alongside FSH, an elevated estradiol level can mask a rising FSH result. That’s why the two are usually read together rather than separately. Hormone testing works best as one piece of a larger picture rather than a standalone answer. Our blog on [low ovarian reserve](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/what-is-low-ovarian-reserve-and-ways-to-treat-it/) goes deeper into what an abnormal AMH or FSH result actually means for treatment options. ## Why Choose Dr. Mohit Saraogi for Fertility Hormone Testing in Mumbai? [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/) brings thirteen years across gynaecology, obstetrics, and clinical embryology to fertility hormone evaluation, with over 18,000 patients treated at IRIS IVF Centre and success rates above 70% for women under 35. Every hormone panel is built around the patient’s actual history and symptoms rather than ordered as a blanket checklist, so results come back genuinely useful for treatment planning. That focused approach matters most at the very first consultation, before any treatment path gets chosen. Wondering whether your last hormone panel actually covered what it needed to? A quick review often reveals gaps worth filling before treatment begins. [Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## Frequently Asked Questions ##### Which hormone test best predicts ovarian reserve? AMH and FSH are the two most reliable markers of ovarian reserve. ##### When should fertility hormone tests be done in the cycle? A day 2 or 3 blood draw gives the most accurate baseline reading. ##### Do all women need a thyroid or prolactin test for fertility? Not always. Thyroid or prolactin tests get added based on symptoms. ##### Can one hormone test alone confirm a fertility diagnosis?

The result is a narrower single-horned form instead of the typical pear shape. A single functioning fallopian tube usually comes along with it. Symptoms rarely appear on their own. The condition often goes unnoticed until someone starts trying to conceive. Dr. Mohit Saraogi, a fertility specialist at one of the [Best IVF Centre In Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/), explains, “This diagnosis usually surfaces by chance during a scan ordered for an unrelated reason. It’s typically a pregnancy attempt or a complication that brings it to attention, rather than everyday symptoms. The shape itself is only half the picture. Imaging tells us whether a rudimentary horn is present and whether that horn connects to the main cavity.” Wondering whether a unicornuate uterus could be affecting your fertility? Get a proper pelvic evaluation from a specialist. [Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## What Are the Symptoms and Causes of a Unicornuate Uterus? The anatomy behind this condition is set well before birth, however, it is rarely detected until adulthood. Cause: One of the paired Müllerian ducts fails to grow fully. These are the structures responsible for building a complete uterus during fetal development. Sometimes the duct develops only partway instead. The result is a smaller uterus confined to a single side. Rudimentary horn: A number of women also have a small underdeveloped horn where the other side would normally sit. Some horns connect to the main cavity. Others don’t. A disconnected horn carries a genuine risk of ectopic pregnancy. Associated anomalies: The kidneys and uterus form on overlapping developmental timelines. This explains why a missing or malformed kidney on the same side shows up so often alongside this diagnosis. Diagnosis: A 3D ultrasound or MRI typically confirms both the uterine shape and the horn’s status. A hysterosalpingogram or hysteroscopy may be added for a closer look at the tube and cavity. For many patients [hysteroscopy](https://saraogihospital.com/what-is-hysteroscopy/) turns out to be the step that provides real clarity. It lets a doctor view the uterine cavity directly rather than piecing it together from scan images alone. ## How Does a Unicornuate Uterus Affect Fertility and Pregnancy? For most women with this condition getting pregnant isn’t the main obstacle. Sustaining the pregnancy through to delivery is where the added risk shows up. Fertility impact: Having just one functional fallopian tube lowers the monthly odds of conception somewhat. Becoming pregnant still remains well within reach for most patients. Pregnancy outcomes: A review of nearly 300 affected women found that roughly half went on to have a live birth. Around a third of pregnancies ended in miscarriage. Preterm delivery affected close to one in five. Rudimentary horn pregnancy: A pregnancy implanting within a non-communicating rudimentary horn rather than the main uterine cavity becomes a surgical emergency. It requires urgent intervention. Monitoring during pregnancy: The reduced cavity size means fetal growth and the risk of preterm labor get tracked more closely. This differs from monitoring in a standard uterine anatomy. Patients recovering from a pregnancy loss connected to a uterine anomaly often want to know about [uterus healing after a miscarriage](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/uterus-healing-after-miscarriage/) in detail before planning any subsequent pregnancy attempt. ## Why Choose Dr. Mohit Saraogi for Unicornuate Uterus Care? [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/) brings thirteen years across gynaecology, obstetrics, and clinical embryology to the diagnosis and management of uterine anomalies, with over 18,000 patients treated at IRIS IVF Centre and success rates above 70% for women under 35. Suspected cases go through proper imaging first before any conclusion is drawn about fertility or pregnancy risk. A diagnosis of unicornuate uterus doesn’t close the door on pregnancy. It simply means the plan has to fit the actual anatomy involved, and that clarity matters most before conception is attempted. Recently diagnosed with a unicornuate uterus and unsure what it means for you? A thorough imaging workup answers far more than the name of the diagnosis ever could.

Estimates put it around 0.1 percent of women. ##### Can someone with a unicornuate uterus get pregnant naturally? Often yes. Natural conception is possible with somewhat higher risk along the way. ##### Does a unicornuate uterus always need surgery? Not always. Surgery is usually reserved for a rudimentary horn causing problems. ##### What are the pregnancy risks with a unicornuate uterus?

Specialized micromanipulation equipment and individual handling by an embryologist push the price up, and most clinics treat that extra work as an add-on fee rather than a separate procedure. How large that add-on actually is, though, varies by clinic. According to Dr. Mohit Saraogi, one of the [Best IVF Doctor In Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/), “Patients often expect ICSI to cost dramatically more than IVF, and at some clinics it does. At our centre, ICSI is usually included within the standard IVF package rather than billed as a large separate line item, since it’s part of how we run most cycles already. Donor sperm or a freeze-all approach are the situations that genuinely shift the price.” Wondering what ICSI would actually cost for your specific case? Get a clear, itemized estimate from a fertility specialist. [Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## What Does ICSI Cost Compared to Standard IVF? ICSI cost India figures vary widely depending on the clinic and city. It helps to look at where the money actually goes rather than trusting a single quoted number. Base IVF/ICSI package: At Saraogi Hospital, a combined IVF/ICSI cycle typically runs ₹95,000 to ₹1,35,000, inclusive of medication, disposables, and lab charges. The broader Mumbai market range sits higher, roughly ₹1,50,000 to ₹2,50,000. Donor sperm ICSI: Using donor sperm adds to the cost. ICSI in that scenario is priced at approximately ₹1,40,000 to ₹1,70,000. Freeze-all ICSI: This approach, where all embryos are frozen rather than transferred fresh, falls in the ₹1,35,000 to ₹1,50,000 range. What’s typically included: IVF injections, sonography, consultations, hospitalization, lab charges, egg retrieval, embryo transfer, and embryology charges are usually bundled in. Blood tests and tablets are usually billed separately. Getting a proper [ICSI treatment in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/icsi-treatment-in-mumbai/) quote means knowing which costs apply to your case, so the estimate reflects your actual protocol rather than a generic number. ## Is Paying Extra for ICSI Actually Necessary? ICSI isn’t automatically the right choice just because it’s on the menu. Whether the added cost is worth it depends on the underlying diagnosis. Male factor infertility: Low sperm count, poor motility, or abnormal morphology are the clearest indications where ICSI meaningfully improves fertilization odds over standard IVF. Prior fertilization failure: Couples who saw poor or zero fertilization in a previous standard IVF cycle are often moved to ICSI the next time around. Frozen eggs or sperm: Freezing can harden the outer shell of an egg, making natural sperm penetration harder. That’s another scenario where ICSI is typically recommended. When it’s not medically necessary. For couples with normal sperm parameters and no prior fertilization issues, the added ICSI cost may not translate into meaningfully better outcomes. Since cost comparisons matter well beyond ICSI versus IVF, many couples work through our[ IUI treatment cost breakdown](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/iui-treatment-cost-in-india-2026/) first, given it’s the lighter, more affordable starting point most fertility journeys actually begin with. ## Why Choose Dr. Mohit Saraogi for ICSI Treatment in Mumbai? [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/) brings thirteen years across gynaecology, obstetrics, and clinical embryology to fertility cases involving male factor infertility. He has treated over 18,000 patients at IRIS IVF Centre, with success rates above 70% for women under 35. Every ICSI recommendation is based on semen analysis and prior cycle history, not applied as a default upgrade to every IVF cycle regardless of need. Pricing is discussed upfront, including which specific scenario, donor sperm, freeze-all, or standard, applies to the couple’s case. That transparency matters most before a cycle begins, while the cost estimate can still shape the decision. Not sure whether your case actually needs ICSI, or just standard IVF? A semen analysis usually settles that question directly. [Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## Frequently Asked Questions ##### Is ICSI more expensive than standard IVF? ICSI usually costs more than standard IVF, since it adds specialized lab work. ##### How much does ICSI cost at Saraogi Hospital? At Saraogi Hospital, ICSI is typically priced within the standard IVF package range. ##### Does ICSI cost more with donor sperm or freeze-all? Yes. Donor sperm ICSI and freeze-all ICSI both carry different, higher price tiers. ##### Is ICSI necessary for every IVF cycle?

Vitrification, the rapid-freeze method used today, allows 85 to 95 percent of eggs to survive the thaw process intact. The live birth chance per individual thawed egg, however, is considerably lower, typically between 2 and 12 percent. That gap between survival and an actual live birth is the part most patients don’t anticipate. According to Dr. Mohit Saraogi, one of the [Best IVF Doctor in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/), “Patients often hear the 90 percent survival figure and assume that reflects their odds of having a baby. It doesn’t. Survival simply means the egg made it through thawing. What happens afterward, fertilization, embryo development, implantation, is where age has the greatest impact. We walk patients through both numbers before any decision is made.” Curious what your own egg freezing success rate might realistically look like? Speak with a fertility specialist for an honest, personalized estimate. [Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## What Determines Egg Freezing Success Rates? Several factors decide where your odds fall within that 2 to 12 percent range, though age carries the most weight. Age at freezing: Egg quality declines with age, and that decline is reflected directly in live birth rates per egg. Freezing earlier consistently produces better outcomes later. Number of eggs stored: A single egg offers limited odds on its own. Storing multiple eggs raises the cumulative chance across attempts, even though each individual egg’s rate remains roughly the same. Survival rate after thaw: Vitrification’s 85 to 95 percent survival rate is accurate, but it only measures whether the egg survived thawing, not whether it results in a pregnancy. Fertilization and embryo development: Surviving eggs still need to fertilize successfully and develop into viable embryos, and this is where a meaningful share of eggs are lost from the process. A proper [egg freezing in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/egg-freezing-in-mumbai/) consultation reviews your ovarian reserve and age-specific numbers before any retrieval is scheduled, so the figures you’re working with reflect your own case rather than a general average. ## How Many Eggs Should You Freeze for a Realistic Chance? Egg freezing success rates do improve with more eggs stored, though the relationship isn’t linear, which is where cumulative odds become more relevant than any single egg’s chances. Under 35, fewer eggs go further: Around 10 frozen eggs at this age have been associated with a cumulative live birth probability approaching 40 percent across use, according to published cohort data. Late 30s and beyond, more eggs are needed: At an older age, reaching similar cumulative odds requires considerably more eggs stored, since each individual egg’s live birth rate has already declined. Cumulative rate is not the same as per-egg rate: A 40 percent cumulative chance across 10 eggs doesn’t mean each egg individually carries a 4 percent rate. The two figures compound differently once multiple eggs are involved. One cycle may not be sufficient: Reaching a comfortable number of stored eggs sometimes requires more than one retrieval cycle, particularly for women freezing eggs at a later age. Timing plays as significant a role as the numbers themselves. Our blog on [when to consider egg freezing](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/when-should-you-consider-egg-freezing/) covers the situations, medical and personal, where freezing earlier rather than later meaningfully changes the outcome. ## Why Choose Dr. Mohit Saraogi for Egg Freezing in Mumbai?

Roughly 2 to 12 percent per thawed egg, largely driven by age. ##### What percentage of frozen eggs survive thawing? Vitrification allows about 85 to 95 percent of eggs to survive thawing. ##### Does age at freezing affect egg freezing success rates? Yes. Eggs frozen before 35 typically carry noticeably higher live birth odds. ##### Does freezing more eggs guarantee a higher success rate? Not exactly.

Much of that gap comes down to what IVF sidesteps entirely: the natural barriers inside the body that often cause IUI to fail in the first place. The switch isn’t automatic, though. Age, the cause of infertility, and how many IUI cycles have already been tried all shape whether IVF is genuinely the next right step.According to Dr. Mohit Saraogi, a fertility specialist at one of the[ Best IVF Centre In Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/), “Couples often ask for the success rate of IVF vs IUI as if it’s one number. It isn’t. A 32-year-old after one failed IUI cycle is in a completely different position than someone who’s done four rounds at 38. We look at the specific case before recommending either path.” Wondering if IVF is the right next step after a failed IUI cycle? Get a clear answer from a fertility specialist. [Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## IUI vs IVF Success Rates: What's the Real Difference? The gap between IUI and IVF success rates isn’t small, and it widens further with age. Here’s how the numbers actually compare.FeatureIUIIVFSuccess rate per cycle10% to 20%40% to 65% (under 35)Level of invasivenessSimple, minimally invasive in-clinic procedureMore involved — egg retrieval, lab fertilization, embryo transferCost per cycleLower cost per cycleHigher cost per cycleWhere fertilization happensInside the uterusIn a lab, before transferTypical recommendation after2 to 3 failed cyclesTubal blockage or male factor issuesPer-cycle odds: IUI puts you in a 10 to 20 percent range each attempt. IVF roughly doubles or triples that for women under 35. Age changes the math for both: IUI success drops off faster with age than IVF does, since IVF allows selection of the healthiest embryo before transfer even happens. Fertilization happens differently: IUI leaves fertilization to chance inside the body. IVF fertilizes the egg in a lab, removing one major point of failure entirely. Cumulative odds plateau with IUI: Most successful IUI pregnancies happen within the first three cycles. Beyond that, more attempts rarely move the needle much. None of these numbers replace an actual[ infertility treatment](https://saraogihospital.com/infertility-treatment-mumbai/) evaluation built around your own cycle history, age, and diagnosis. ## When Should You Consider IVF After a Failed IUI Cycle? Deciding when to move from IUI to IVF isn’t governed by a single fixed rule. A few clinical markers, though, tend to make that decision considerably clearer.Cycle count: Two to three failed IUI cycles is the usual point where specialists start the IVF conversation, since additional IUI attempts rarely change the odds much after that. Age: Women over 35 have less time to spend on repeat IUI cycles, since IVF after IUI becomes the more time-efficient option as ovarian reserve declines. Diagnosis: Tubal blockage, significant male factor infertility, or endometriosis often mean IVF was always going to be the better fit, even before the first IUI cycle. Duration of infertility: Couples trying for four or more years tend to see lower success with continued IUI, which is another point in favor of moving to IVF sooner. Cost is usually the other half of this conversation, alongside success rates. Our[ IUI treatment cost breakdown](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/iui-treatment-cost-in-india-2026/) lays out exactly where the money goes for both routes, so the decision isn’t made on success rates alone. ## Why Choose Saraogi Hospital? [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/) brings thirteen years across gynaecology, obstetrics, and clinical embryology to this decision. He has treated over 18,000 patients at IRIS IVF Centre, with success rates above 70% for women under 35. Every recommendation to move from IUI to IVF is based on the couple’s actual cycle history and diagnosis, not a fixed rule about how many IUI attempts to try first. Some couples are steered toward IVF sooner. Others are better served by one more IUI cycle first.Repeating IUI past the point where it’s genuinely helping wastes both time and money, especially for women already past 35. A quick cycle review can tell you whether one more IUI attempt makes sense, or if it’s time to move to IVF. [Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## Frequently Asked Questions ##### What is the IVF success rate after failed IUI cycles? IVF success rates run noticeably higher than IUI, often 40 to 65 percent per cycle under 35. ##### How many failed IUI cycles before switching to IVF? Most specialists suggest considering IVF after two to three unsuccessful IUI cycles. ##### Is a second IUI cycle success rate much better than the first? Not much. Success rates rarely rise sharply after one IUI failure. ##### Can someone try a successful IUI after a failed IVF cycle? Rarely, and only in specific cases. IVF failure usually means IUI fits less well. ## References: - IVF versus IUI with ovarian stimulation for unexplained infertility: a collaborative individual participant data meta-analysis — [NCBI/PMC](https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10905504/) - Fertility predictors in intrauterine insemination (IUI) — [NCBI/PMC](https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10058138/) ## Disclaimer: This blog is intended for informational purposes only and should not be considered a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. **Categories:** Blog --- ### [How Long Does It Take for the Uterus to Heal After a Miscarriage?](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/uterus-healing-after-miscarriage/) **Published:** July 25, 2026 **Author:** Dr. Mohit Saraogi **Content:** # How Long Does It Take for the Uterus to Heal After a Miscarriage? by [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/author/drmohitsaraogi/ "Posts by Dr. Mohit Saraogi") | Jul 25, 2026 ![Banner asking 'How long does it take for the uterus to heal after a miscarriage?' with a uterus illustration on the right and a blue geometric background on the left.](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDgwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjY3NSIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDEwODAgNjc1Ij48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojY2ZkNGRiO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg==) Usually 2 to 6 weeks. That’s the short answer. How long it actually takes for you depends on how far along you were, whether the miscarriage was complete on its own or needed a procedure, and how your body generally responds to hormonal shifts. “The cramping people worry about is usually just the uterus doing exactly what it’s supposed to do. What I’m watching for is whether the bleeding is calming down over days, not staying the same or getting worse,” says Dr. Mohit Saraogi, one of Mumbai’s leading[ IVF](https://saraogihospital.com/) and fertility specialists at[ Saraogi Hospital](https://saraogihospital.com/about/). **Whether you’re recovering now or planning your next steps, our fertility experts are here to help** [Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## Quick Answer ● Uterus itself: heals in roughly 2 to 6 weeks ● Bleeding: mostly done in 1 to 2 weeks, some women spot longer, that’s not necessarily a red flag ● First period: comes back somewhere in the 4 to 8 week range ● D&C or a later-stage loss: tack on a bit more time than an early, natural miscarriage Averages, not promises. Your doctor knows your case better than a blog post does. ## What's Actually Happening Inside ![Four uteruses lined up side by side, showing the uterus and fallopian tubes in a row.](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MjQiIGhlaWdodD0iMzEyIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjI0IDMxMiI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Picture1 - Saraogi Hospital") There’s a name for it: involution. Basically the uterus shrinks itself back down to pre-pregnancy size. Same thing happens after a full-term delivery, just on a much smaller scale here since there wasn’t as much to shed in the first place. While that’s happening, hCG and the pregnancy hormones (estrogen, progesterone) start falling back toward baseline. That drop, combined with the uterus physically contracting, is basically the whole explanation for the bleeding and cramping. It’s not a sign something’s wrong. It’s the process working. Dr. Mohit Saraogi puts it this way to patients: “The cramping people worry about is usually just the uterus doing exactly what it’s supposed to do. What I actually watch for is whether the bleeding is calming down over days, not staying the same or getting worse.” ## Week by Week Week 1 is the roughest stretch for most people. Bleeding is heaviest here, sometimes with clots, sometimes with visible tissue passing. Cramping can feel like a bad period, maybe worse. It gets better from here, not worse. Weeks 2 through 4, bleeding fades into spotting and then not much at all. The cervix, which had opened up, closes again. Hormones keep drifting back to baseline, which is part of why energy and mood can feel a little off during this window. That’s the hormones, not a character flaw. Weeks 4 through 8 is where most women land as “fully healed.” Periods usually return in this window. Here’s the part that surprises people: ovulation can happen before that first period shows up. Which means, yes, you could technically get pregnant again before you’ve had a single period since the loss.### What Changes the Timeline Not a fixed formula, but a few things move the needle: ● Early vs. late miscarriage: Miscarriages earlier in pregnancy generally mean less tissue and a shorter physical recovery than ones later in the first or second trimester. ● Complete vs. incomplete: Whether everything passed on its own (complete) versus something’s left behind and needs treatment (incomplete) matters too; complete tends to heal faster. ● D&C vs. natural miscarriage: A D&C clears tissue directly, so bleeding often wraps up sooner, though the uterus itself still needs its own weeks to heal internally regardless. (We’d link a dedicated D&C page here if the site had one; it doesn’t yet.) ● Infection or retained tissue: Will slow things down and needs actual medical attention, not just time. ● General health: Sleep, stress, nutrition, and existing conditions all nudge the timeline one way or another, same as recovery from anything else. ## Is It Healing the Way It Should? Good signs, generally: bleeding getting lighter over days rather than heavier, cramping easing off, pregnancy symptoms like nausea or sore breasts fading, no fever or bad odor, period showing up in a reasonable window, and if your doctor ordered a follow-up scan, it comes back clear. ## When to Actually Call a Doctor SymptomWhy it mattersSoaking a pad in an hour or lessCould mean retained tissueFever, chillsPossible infectionSevere pelvic painNeeds a proper lookBad-smelling dischargeUsually points to infectionBleeding dragging on longer than expectedWorth checking, not waiting onIf any of that shows up, don’t sit on it hoping it resolves.

Period: 4 to 8 weeks ● Ovulation can beat your period back, so pregnancy is possible sooner than people expect ● Heavy bleeding, fever, bad odor: don’t wait these out ● Everyone’s timeline is a little different, and a follow-up exam can settle any doubt ## Where This Leaves You ![Diagram of the female reproductive system surrounded by health icons, signaling gynecological care and wellness services.](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIzOTciIGhlaWdodD0iNTk1IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgMzk3IDU5NSI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Picture2 - Saraogi Hospital") Most of the physical recovery is over within 2 to 6 weeks. The exact number depends on how far along things were and whether a D&C was involved. What’s less predictable is the emotional side, which often takes longer than the body does, and that’s fine. Nobody’s on a deadline here. Keep an eye on the warning signs above. If something feels wrong, call your doctor instead of waiting to see if it passes. And when you’re ready to think about trying again, a conversation with your fertility specialist will tell you where your body actually stands, which is more useful than any calendar estimate.

Bleeding tapers off, cramping eases, symptoms fade, period comes back on a normal schedule. A follow-up ultrasound settles it if your doctor wants one. ##### Can I get pregnant before my first period? Yes, and it catches people off guard. Ovulation sometimes beats the period back, so worth discussing timing with your doctor if another pregnancy is on your mind. ##### Does a D&C change the healing time? Bleeding often ends sooner since tissue’s cleared directly, but the uterus itself still needs several weeks to heal, not drastically different from a natural miscarriage. ##### When's it okay to exercise or have sex again? Once bleeding’s stopped and you feel up to it, often 1 to 2 weeks out, but check with your own doctor since it really does depend on your recovery specifically. ##### Is heavy bleeding normal after a miscarriage? Some is expected. Soaking a pad within an hour, or bleeding that worsens instead of easing, isn’t, and it’s worth getting checked rather than waiting. ## External References - American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG): patient FAQs on early pregnancy loss - NHS (UK): miscarriage recovery and aftercare guidance ## Disclaimer: This article is for educational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice; consult Dr. Mohit Saraogi or a qualified physician about your specific symptoms and recovery. ### Trackbacks/Pingbacks 1.

The 90-Day Timeline Explained by [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/author/drmohitsaraogi/ "Posts by Dr. Mohit Saraogi") | Jul 23, 2026 ![Banner with blue geometric background and pink accents, plus sperm cells on the right; headline asks about how long to improve sperm quality before IVF (90-day timeline).](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDgwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjY3NSIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDEwODAgNjc1Ij48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojY2ZkNGRiO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg==) Sperm quality plays a bigger role in IVF and ICSI success than most couples realize, and it’s one of the first things a fertility specialist at [Saraogi Hospital](https://saraogihospital.com/) looks at before starting treatment. The short answer to how long does it take to improve sperm quality before IVF is about 74 to 90 days, since that’s roughly how long it takes new sperm to fully develop and mature. Not every man sees the same improvement in that window, though. It depends heavily on what’s actually causing the low sperm quality in the first place. This article covers what changes during those 90 days, what genuinely helps, why some men don’t see much change, and what your options are if sperm quality stays low anyway. ## Quick Answer - New sperm take roughly **74 to 90 days** to develop and mature - Lifestyle changes should ideally start **about three months before IVF** - Improvements can show up in **sperm count, motility, morphology, and DNA quality** - Your fertility specialist may want a **repeat semen analysis** closer to your treatment start date **Planning IVF soon?** Consult a fertility specialist early enough to actually use this 90-day window. [Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## Why Does It Take 90 Days to Improve Sperm Quality? ![Colorful medical illustration of female reproductive system with uterus, ovaries, and surrounding cellular structures.](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMTQ5IiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEzNjkiIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCAxMTQ5IDEzNjkiPjxyZWN0IHdpZHRoPSIxMDAlIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEwMCUiIHN0eWxlPSJmaWxsOiNjZmQ0ZGI7ZmlsbC1vcGFjaXR5OiAwLjE7Ii8+PC9zdmc+ "ChatGPT Image Jul 23 2026 at 11_35_16 AM - Saraogi Hospital") Sperm production, called **spermatogenesis**, is a cycle, not an instant process. It takes around 74 days for a sperm cell to form completely, then another couple of weeks as it travels through the epididymis, where it finishes maturing and gains the ability to swim properly. That’s where the 90-day figure comes from. What this means practically: the sperm your partner’s eggs would meet today were actually “started” about three months ago. Whatever was going on with your health, habits, or stress levels back then already shaped this batch. Change something today, and you’re really investing in the batch that’s ready around IVF time, not the one about to be used. ![Colorful medical illustration of female reproductive system with uterus, ovaries, and surrounding cellular structures.](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMTQ5IiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEzNjkiIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCAxMTQ5IDEzNjkiPjxyZWN0IHdpZHRoPSIxMDAlIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEwMCUiIHN0eWxlPSJmaWxsOiNjZmQ0ZGI7ZmlsbC1vcGFjaXR5OiAwLjE7Ii8+PC9zdmc+ "ChatGPT Image Jul 23 2026 at 11_35_16 AM - Saraogi Hospital") ## What Can Actually Improve During These 90 Days? It helps to know which specific parameters can shift, rather than treating “sperm quality” as one vague thing. ### **Sperm Count** The total number of sperm in a sample. Lifestyle factors like smoking, heat exposure, and poor sleep can suppress count, and addressing these sometimes brings numbers up over a few cycles. ### **Sperm Motility** How well sperm move. Motility issues are often linked to oxidative stress, so antioxidant intake and reduced toxin exposure can help in some cases. ### **Sperm Morphology** The size and shape of sperm. Morphology tends to be the slowest parameter to shift and doesn’t always respond much to lifestyle changes alone. ### **Sperm DNA Quality** DNA fragmentation affects embryo development even when count and motility look fine. It’s often tested separately from a standard [semen analysis](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/importance-of-semen-analysis-in-male-infertility-treatment/) and can improve somewhat with reduced oxidative stress. ## What Actually Helps Improve Sperm Quality Before IVF? ![Diagram of the urinary system with lifestyle icons (diet, hydration, exercise, smoking, alcohol) showing factors affecting urinary health.](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMTY1IiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEzNTAiIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCAxMTY1IDEzNTAiPjxyZWN0IHdpZHRoPSIxMDAlIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEwMCUiIHN0eWxlPSJmaWxsOiNjZmQ0ZGI7ZmlsbC1vcGFjaXR5OiAwLjE7Ii8+PC9zdmc+ "ChatGPT Image Jul 23 2026 at 11_38_32 AM - Saraogi Hospital") A few specifics worth naming: leafy greens, eggs, and tomatoes are commonly recommended for their antioxidant content, and supplements like CoQ10, L-carnitine, vitamin C, and vitamin D come up often in fertility clinics for men dealing with oxidative stress-related sperm issues. That said, supplements are the one item on this list worth a specific warning: don’t start any without medical guidance first. Some can interact with other treatments or simply aren’t needed for your specific case, and a fertility specialist can tell you which, if any, actually apply to you.

Lifestyle changes help, but they can’t fix everything, especially when there’s an underlying [male infertility](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/understanding-male-infertility-the-first-step-to-getting-pregnant/) cause: - **Varicocele** (enlarged veins in the scrotum) - **Hormonal imbalance**, including low testosterone - **Diabetes** - **Obesity**, beyond what diet alone resolves - **Ongoing smoking or substance use** - **Infections** affecting the reproductive tract - **Genetic causes** of low sperm count or quality - **Advanced paternal age** If any of these are involved, lifestyle changes alone usually aren’t enough, and a fertility specialist may recommend targeted treatment alongside them. **Not sure if you’re due for a repeat semen analysis?** Book a consultation and we’ll map out the right testing schedule for your timeline. [Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## How Long Should You Abstain Before Sample Collection? This is a separate question from the 90-day timeline, and it’s easy to mix the two up. The 90 days is about long-term sperm quality. Abstinence timing is about the sample given on the actual day of collection, and it works a bit differently. For years, the standard advice was 2 to 7 days of abstinence before providing a sample. More recent research has pointed toward something shorter, sometimes just 1 to 2 days, being linked to better motility and lower DNA fragmentation in the sample used for fertilization. It seems counterintuitive, since more time feels like it should mean a “fuller” sample, but the evidence increasingly favors freshness over volume for this specific purpose. This is exactly the kind of detail that shouldn’t be decided from a blog post, though. Your fertility specialist will give you the specific abstinence window to follow before your IVF or ICSI cycle, since it can depend on your individual semen parameters. ## How Will Your Fertility Specialist Measure Improvement? ![Detailed medical illustration of the male reproductive system with surrounding circular insets showing cells and tissues.](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMTY1IiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEzNTAiIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCAxMTY1IDEzNTAiPjxyZWN0IHdpZHRoPSIxMDAlIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEwMCUiIHN0eWxlPSJmaWxsOiNjZmQ0ZGI7ZmlsbC1vcGFjaXR5OiAwLjE7Ii8+PC9zdmc+ "ChatGPT Image Jul 23 2026 at 11_41_10 AM - Saraogi Hospital") Progress isn’t guessed at. It’s typically measured through: - A **repeat semen analysis**, usually timed to align with the 90-day cycle - **Direct comparison** with your earlier results to see what actually changed - **DNA fragmentation testing**, when your history or first results suggest it’s needed **Careful timing**, so retesting happens close enough to your IVF start date to reflect your current status ![Detailed medical illustration of the male reproductive system with surrounding circular insets showing cells and tissues.](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMTY1IiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEzNTAiIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCAxMTY1IDEzNTAiPjxyZWN0IHdpZHRoPSIxMDAlIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEwMCUiIHN0eWxlPSJmaWxsOiNjZmQ0ZGI7ZmlsbC1vcGFjaXR5OiAwLjE7Ii8+PC9zdmc+ "ChatGPT Image Jul 23 2026 at 11_41_10 AM - Saraogi Hospital") ## Can IVF Still Be Successful if Sperm Quality Remains Low? Yes, and this is worth knowing upfront if your numbers aren’t improving as much as hoped. Standard [IVF](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-hospital-in-mumbai/), [ICSI](https://saraogihospital.com/icsi-treatment-in-mumbai/) (where a single sperm is injected directly into an egg), and surgical sperm retrieval (when sperm isn’t present in the ejaculate) all exist specifically because sperm quality varies widely from one couple to the next. Our guide on [IVF vs. ICSI](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/icsi-vs-ivf-which-fertility-treatment-is-right-for-you/) breaks down how these approaches actually differ. Your fertility specialist will factor in count, motility, morphology, and DNA quality when recommending which approach fits your situation. Low sperm quality doesn’t automatically rule out a successful pregnancy. It usually just changes which technique makes the most sense for you. ## Key Takeaways - New sperm take about 74 to 90 days to fully develop, which is why lifestyle changes need a three-month head start. - Not every parameter responds the same way. Morphology tends to be the slowest to shift. - Underlying conditions like varicocele, hormonal issues, or infections can limit how much lifestyle changes alone can do. - Fertility specialists track real progress through repeat semen analysis, not guesswork. - ICSI and surgical sperm retrieval mean low sperm quality doesn’t have to be the end of the road. ## Conclusion ![Educational collage centered on the female reproductive system: uterus with ovaries and fallopian tubes, surrounded by cell diagrams, lab equipment, and science icons.](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDI0IiBoZWlnaHQ9IjE1MzYiIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCAxMDI0IDE1MzYiPjxyZWN0IHdpZHRoPSIxMDAlIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEwMCUiIHN0eWxlPSJmaWxsOiNjZmQ0ZGI7ZmlsbC1vcGFjaXR5OiAwLjE7Ii8+PC9zdmc+ "ChatGPT Image Jul 23 2026 at 11_44_31 AM - Saraogi Hospital") The 90-day timeline for improving sperm quality before IVF reflects the natural sperm production cycle, not an arbitrary number. Healthy lifestyle changes can genuinely support better sperm count, motility, morphology, and DNA quality, but how much improvement you’ll actually see depends on what’s driving the issue in the first place. If IVF is on your horizon, it’s worth starting these changes as early as possible and talking to a fertility specialist about your specific case rather than guessing at what applies to you. A personalized plan, built around your actual test results, gives you a far clearer picture than general advice ever could. Have a semen analysis result you’re trying to make sense of, or planning IVF in the next few months? Schedule a fertility consultation and get a plan built around your actual numbers. [Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## Frequently Asked Questions ##### Is 90 days enough to improve sperm quality? For many men, yes, at least partially. Count and motility often respond to lifestyle changes within that window, though morphology and DNA quality can take longer or need medical treatment alongside lifestyle changes. ##### Can sperm quality improve naturally? Often, yes. Quitting smoking, reducing alcohol, managing weight, and improving sleep can measurably help in many cases, though results vary depending on what’s causing the issue. ##### Which foods support sperm health? Antioxidant-rich foods (fruits, vegetables, nuts) are generally recommended, since oxidative stress is a major factor in sperm damage. A fertility specialist can tailor specific dietary guidance to your results. ##### Should I repeat my semen analysis before IVF? Usually, yes, especially if your last test was more than a few months ago or you’ve made significant lifestyle changes since. Your fertility specialist can advise on timing. ##### Does age affect sperm quality improvement? Yes. While men produce sperm throughout life, advanced paternal age is linked to changes in sperm DNA quality and can affect how much lifestyle changes alone can improve the picture. ## Disclaimer: This article is for educational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice; consult a qualified fertility specialist about your specific test results and treatment plan. ### Submit a Comment [Cancel reply](/blogs/how-long-does-it-take-to-improve-sperm-quality-before-ivf/?aioseo_llms_generation=1#respond) Your email address will not be published.

Ovarian reserve declines, hormone levels fluctuate, and chromosomal abnormalities in the remaining eggs become more common during this transition. These shifts make conception with your own eggs considerably harder in the perimenopausal years. Donor eggs, however, restore success rates to a level much closer to what younger patients see. According to Dr. Mohit Saraogi, one of the[ Best IVF Doctor in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/) at Saraogi Hospital, “Patients often assume perimenopause means periods have already stopped. It doesn’t. Cycles can still be regular while egg quality is already declining underneath. That gap between what a woman feels and what her ovaries are actually doing is where most of the confusion comes from.” Noticing irregular cycles and wondering how it affects your IVF plans? Get a proper fertility assessment before deciding your next step. [Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## How Does Perimenopause Affect IVF With Your Own Eggs? Perimenopause isn’t a single switch. It’s a gradual shift across several fronts at once. - Ovarian reserve: Both egg count and egg quality drop during this transition, sometimes years before periods become irregular. Fewer eggs retrieved usually means fewer viable embryos. - Hormonal fluctuation: FSH and AMH levels swing unpredictably during perimenopause, which makes stimulation protocols harder to plan and monitor precisely. - Chromosomal abnormalities: Eggs retrieved during this phase carry a higher rate of chromosomal errors. This raises both miscarriage risk and the odds of a failed implantation. - Response to stimulation: Ovaries respond less predictably to fertility medication during perimenopause, and cycles sometimes get cancelled before retrieval for this exact reason. So when own-egg IVF success drops meaningfully,[ egg donation treatment](https://saraogihospital.com/egg-donor-treatment-in-mumbai/) becomes a realistic path that restores success rates closer to what younger patients typically see. ## When Should You Get Evaluated for Perimenopause Before IVF? Waiting for symptoms to appear can cost valuable time. Testing early gives more clarity, and more options. - AMH and FSH testing: These blood markers give an early read on ovarian reserve, often before any noticeable change in cycle regularity. - Antral follicle count: An ultrasound-based count of visible follicles adds a second data point alongside blood work, since hormone levels alone can be misleading. - Cycle tracking: Shortening or lengthening cycles, even mild ones, are worth mentioning during a fertility consult. Patients often dismiss this as normal aging. - Family history: Because early menopause tends to run in families, a mother or sister’s history is a useful clue worth raising early. Curious how this connects to earlier-than-expected menopause? Our blog on[ menopause before 40](https://saraogihospital.com/menopause-before-40/) covers the causes and warning signs in more depth. ## Why Choose Saraogi Hospital? [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/) brings thirteen years across gynaecology, obstetrics, and clinical embryology to fertility cases involving perimenopause. He has treated over 18,000 patients at IRIS IVF Centre, with success rates above 70% for women under 35. Every perimenopausal patient gets a full ovarian reserve workup before a protocol is decided, since assuming a standard stimulation plan will work the same way here often leads to disappointment. Own-egg IVF, donor egg IVF, or a modified protocol, the recommendation depends entirely on the numbers from that workup. Patients sometimes push for repeated own-egg cycles even after results suggest otherwise, mostly out of hope rather than clinical logic. An honest conversation about the numbers, sooner rather than later, tends to save both time and money. Call +91 81697 17250 to get your ovarian reserve evaluated properly.

[Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## Frequently Asked Questions ##### Does perimenopause reduce IVF success rates? Yes, it lowers success with your own eggs due to declining reserve and quality. ##### How is perimenopause confirmed before an IVF cycle? AMH, FSH, and antral follicle count together give the clearest picture. ##### Can donor eggs improve IVF success during perimenopause? Yes, donor egg IVF largely bypasses the egg quality decline perimenopause causes. ##### Can perimenopause affect fertility before periods stop?

It refers to difficulty conceiving, or carrying a pregnancy to term, after having conceived successfully before. The causes range from age-related decline to PCOS, endometriosis, or a new male factor issue that wasn’t present the first time around. The reason behind it is rarely the same one that applied last time. According to Dr. Mohit Saraogi, of Saraogi Hospital, one of the [Best IVF Centre In Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/) at Saraogi Hospital, “Couples walk in almost apologetic about this. They already have a child, so why is this even a conversation? But bodies change between pregnancies. What worked once doesn’t come with a guarantee.” Struggling the second time around? Get a proper fertility evaluation before assuming the worst. [Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## What Causes Secondary Infertility? Same broad categories as primary infertility. Different timing, though, and that trips people up. - Age-related decline: A few years pass, and egg or sperm quality slips more than most couples realize. Nobody expects a two- or three-year gap to matter this much. It does. - PCOS: Can show up or worsen after a first pregnancy. Ovulation gets disrupted in ways that simply weren’t there before. - Endometriosis: Often progresses quietly. Each untreated cycle can chip away at fertility a little more. - Male factor, newly: Sperm count, motility, shape, any of it can shift with age, weight, health conditions, or just time. Rarely the first thing anyone checks. Should be. So a proper[ infertility evaluation](https://saraogihospital.com/infertility-treatment-mumbai/) treats both partners as a fresh case, not a repeat of what worked before. ## How Is Secondary Infertility Treated? No single fix here. Depends entirely on what’s actually changed. - Ovulation induction: Usually the first move for hormonal causes like PCOS. Works for a solid chunk of cases, and it’s the least invasive option available. - IUI: A reasonable middle step. Mild male factor, unexplained delay, this is often where doctors start before jumping further. - IVF: Tubal blockage. Endometriosis. More serious sperm issues. IVF becomes the direct route once these are on the table. - Surgery: Fibroids, scar tissue, endometrial lesions sometimes need to come out first. Skipping that step wastes a cycle. But age matters more to outcomes than most patients assume going in. Our blog on[ the impact of age on fertility](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/the-impact-of-age-on-fertility/) lays out exactly how that plays out for both partners. ## Why Choose Saraogi Hospital? [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/) brings thirteen years across gynaecology, obstetrics, and clinical embryology to every case. He has treated over 18,000 patients at IRIS IVF Centre, with success rates above 70% for women under 35. Secondary infertility gets the same thorough workup as a first-time case here, since assuming the cause is the same as before often wastes months. Every evaluation covers both partners, hormonal status, and any changes since the last pregnancy. Too many couples wait, assuming it’ll sort itself out because it worked once already. That wait costs time, and time is the one thing age doesn’t give back. Call +91 81697 17250 and get it looked at properly. Already had one pregnancy but stuck on the second?

It depends entirely on their size, number, and where they’re sitting inside the uterus. Many women with fibroids conceive naturally without any intervention. Others find that fibroids are blocking a fallopian tube or distorting the uterine cavity in a way that makes implantation genuinely difficult. Surgery isn’t always the first answer. But knowing which type of fibroid you’re dealing with is. According to Dr. Mohit Saraogi, one of the [Best IVF Doctor in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/) at Saraogi Hospital, “A fibroid diagnosis doesn’t mean surgery. It means a proper assessment. Location matters more than size in most fertility cases. A small submucosal fibroid inside the cavity can cause more trouble than a large one sitting outside the uterus. We look at the full picture before recommending anything.” Worried fibroids might be affecting your chances of conceiving? Speak with a fertility specialist for a proper assessment. [Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## How Do Fibroids Interfere With Pregnancy? Not every fibroid is a fertility problem. The ones that are tend to interfere in very specific ways. - Submucosal fibroids: These grow inside the uterine cavity and are the most clinically significant for fertility. They change the surface the embryo needs to implant on, and even a small one can disrupt that process. - Fallopian tube obstruction: Fibroids sitting near the cornual region, where the tube meets the uterus, can physically narrow or block the tube. An egg that can’t travel through can’t be fertilised. - Implantation failure: A distorted cavity changes uterine receptivity. Even when fertilisation happens, an embryo transferred into a misshapen environment often doesn’t hold. - Recurrent miscarriage: Women with submucous fibroids show higher miscarriage rates, likely because the altered blood supply to the lining can’t sustain early pregnancy reliably. So surgery gets recommended when the fibroid’s location is clearly working against implantation or tube function. Our[ laparoscopic fibroid surgery](https://saraogihospital.com/laparoscopic-fibroid-surgery-in-mumbai/) page explains what a minimally invasive approach looks like and who it’s appropriate for. ## When Can Pregnancy Happen Without Surgery? Many fibroid cases don’t need an operation before attempting pregnancy. Most gynaecologists still come across patients who were told to remove fibroids immediately, when watchful waiting was actually the right call. - Intramural fibroids not touching the cavity: Fibroids buried within the uterine muscle, without pressing into the cavity, show minimal impact on natural conception rates in most studies. - Small subserosal fibroids: These grow on the outer wall and rarely interfere with implantation at all. Monitoring is usually enough unless they’re large and pressing on other structures. - Hormonal management: GnRH agonists can temporarily shrink fibroids and reduce symptoms. Not a permanent fix, but sometimes enough to stabilise the situation while conception is attempted. - Hysteroscopy for submucosal fibroids: A small submucosal fibroid inside the cavity can often be removed hysteroscopically, without open surgery and with a shorter recovery, before IVF or natural conception is tried. Irregular or unexpected bleeding is often the first clue that a fibroid’s location needs a closer look. If you’ve noticed this, it’s worth reading about[ fibroid bleeding without pain](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/is-fibroid-bleeding-without-pain-normal-or-risky/) too, since the same scan that checks your fertility often explains the bleeding as well. ## Why Choose Saraogi Hospital? [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/) brings 13 years across gynaecology, obstetrics, and clinical embryology to fibroid cases, with over 18,000 patients treated at IRIS IVF Centre and success rates above 70% for women under 35. At Saraogi Hospital, fibroid assessment is part of every infertility workup, including pelvic ultrasound and MRI mapping where needed, to determine whether the fibroid’s location is clinically relevant to the patient’s fertility plan. Not all fibroids are treated. The ones that aren’t causing cavity distortion or tube blockage are monitored, not removed. Patients often arrive after being told elsewhere that their fibroids had to come out before anything else could be attempted. That’s not always accurate, and an unnecessary surgery adds recovery time before conception can even begin. Call +91 81697 17250 to get a proper fibroid assessment done before making any decision. Still not sure if your fibroid needs surgery, or just monitoring? One proper scan usually settles that question. [Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## Frequently Asked Questions ##### Can fibroids actually prevent pregnancy? Yes, but only when they distort the uterine cavity or block the fallopian tubes. ##### Which type of fibroid is most dangerous for fertility? Submucosal fibroids growing inside the uterine cavity carry the highest fertility risk. ##### Can fibroids be managed without surgery for pregnancy? Yes, medication, hysteroscopy or monitoring can help depending on fibroid type and size. ##### Do all women with fibroids need surgery before conceiving? Many women with small intramural or subserosal fibroids conceive naturally without intervention. ## References: - Uterine fibroid management: from the present to the future — [NCBI/PMC](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5853598/) [](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5853598/) - Fibroids in pregnancy: maternal and fetal outcome — [NCBI/PMC](https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4625296/) ## Disclaimer: This blog is intended for informational purposes only and should not be considered a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. ### Submit a Comment [Cancel reply](/blogs/can-fibroids-prevent-pregnancy-without-surgery/?aioseo_llms_generation=1#respond) Your email address will not be published.

Both fresh and frozen embryo transfer deliver strong results when used for the right patient. FET has become the more common default across modern IVF protocols, but “more common” isn’t the same as “always better.” What actually decides your case comes down to hormone levels, how your ovaries responded to stimulation, and whether genetic testing is part of the plan. According to Dr. Mohit Saraogi, of Saraogi Hospital, one of the [Best IVF Centre In Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/) at Saraogi Hospital, “Patients ask us to pick a winner, and honestly, that’s the wrong question. A woman with 20 eggs retrieved responds completely differently to freezing than one with four. We look at the numbers from your own cycle, not a general trend, before recommending either path.” Not sure which transfer approach fits your case? Get a personalized recommendation from a fertility specialist. [Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## What Factors Decide Between Fresh and Frozen Transfer? The choice isn’t a coin flip. A handful of clinical markers usually settle it. - Ovarian response: Women who produce a high number of eggs during stimulation tend to see better outcomes with frozen transfer. Poor responders, on the other hand, sometimes do better transferring fresh. - OHSS risk: Freezing all embryos and waiting is the standard move when hormone levels spike dangerously after retrieval. It sidesteps ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome almost entirely. - Genetic testing (PGT-A): Embryos being screened for chromosomal issues have to be frozen anyway, since results take days to come back. Fresh transfer simply isn’t compatible with that timeline. - Endometrial receptivity: Stimulation hormones can leave the uterine lining out of sync with the embryo’s development stage. A frozen cycle lets that lining reset on its own schedule. Ready to understand your own transfer options in detail? Speak with our team about[ frozen embryo transfer treatment](https://saraogihospital.com/frozen-embryo-transfer-treatment-in-mumbai/) and what it involves at our clinic. ## Fresh Transfer vs Frozen Transfer Both options are used routinely. What separates them isn’t quality, it’s clinical fit. Feature Fresh Transfer Frozen Transfer Timing after retrieval Same cycle, day 3 to 5 Following cycle or later Hormone environment at transfer Still elevated from stimulation Allowed to normalize first OHSS risk Present in high responders Largely avoided PGT-A compatibility Not practical Built into the waiting period Best suited for Lower egg counts, poor responders Normal to high responders - Timing: Fresh transfer happens within days of retrieval, while frozen transfer waits a full cycle or more for the body to settle. That gap isn’t wasted time. - Hormone environment: Fresh cycles work against a background of post-stimulation surges. Frozen cycles start from a cleaner baseline, which matters more than most patients expect. - OHSS risk: High responders carry real risk with fresh transfer. Freezing sidesteps that almost completely. - Outcomes split by patient type. Large cohort data shows frozen transfer ahead in normal and high responders, while fresh transfer holds its own, and sometimes wins, in women with fewer retrieved eggs. So before assuming one is universally safer or more advanced, our blog on[ 6 things to know about FET](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/frozen-embryo-transfers-6-things-to-know/) walks through the appointments, costs, and practical process in plain terms. ## Why Choose Saraogi Hospital? [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/) brings thirteen years across gynaecology, obstetrics, and clinical embryology to this decision. He has treated over 18,000 patients at IRIS IVF Centre, with success rates above 70% for women under 35. Every recommendation here is built around the individual cycle: egg count, hormone trajectory, and whether genetic screening is on the table. That’s a very different starting point than defaulting to whatever protocol is trending. Some clinics push freeze-all as a blanket policy regardless of patient profile. That approach can quietly work against low responders who’d do better with a fresh transfer. Call +91 81697 17250 to discuss which path actually fits your case. Fresh or frozen isn’t a coin toss, it’s decided by your own retrieval numbers. Talk to us before your next cycle to know which path fits. [Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## Frequently Asked Questions ##### Does frozen transfer have higher success rates than fresh transfer? In some patient groups yes, but low responders often do better with fresh transfer. ##### Is frozen embryo transfer safer than fresh transfer? FET lowers ovarian hyperstimulation risk but isn’t automatically the better clinical choice. ##### Can I choose between fresh and frozen transfer myself? Your doctor decides based on hormone levels, ovarian response, and any planned genetic testing. ##### Does frozen transfer cost more than fresh transfer? No, FET usually costs less since ovarian stimulation medication and monitoring needs drop. ## References: - Fresh versus elective frozen embryo transfer: cumulative live birth rates of 7,236 IVF cycles — [NCBI/PMC](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9355431/) - Transfer of fresh or frozen embryos: a randomised controlled trial — [NCBI/PMC](https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7970725/) ## Disclaimer: This blog is intended for informational purposes only and should not be considered a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. ### Submit a Comment [Cancel reply](/blogs/frozen-embryo-transfer-vs-fresh-transfer-which-wins/?aioseo_llms_generation=1#respond) Your email address will not be published.

It reaches into egg quality, into how the uterine lining behaves around implantation, and it raises miscarriage risk along the way. Most patients don’t connect the dots until a cycle underperforms for no obvious reason. By then the thyroid was usually the quiet variable all along. According to Dr. Mohit Saraogi, one of the[ Best IVF Doctor in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/) at Saraogi Hospital, “Nobody walks in thinking their thyroid is the problem. A TSH that’s a little off doesn’t look alarming on paper. But it works against the protocol at almost every stage, and we’d rather catch that in week one than after a failed transfer.” Worried thyroid levels might be working against your IVF chances? Talk to a fertility specialist before your next cycle. [Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## How Does Thyroid Dysfunction Affect IVF Outcomes? Thyroid hormone isn’t a side character in fertility. It sits close to the center of almost every step. - Egg maturation: FSH and LH don’t work alone. Thyroid hormone sits in the same pathway, and even a mild shift can leave eggs less mature at retrieval. - Uterine lining: An underactive thyroid throws off receptivity timing. A good embryo landing in a lining that isn’t ready just won’t implant. - Miscarriage risk: Thyroid antibodies raise the risk on their own, even with normal TSH readings. Most panels skip this test unless someone asks for it. - Ovarian response: Poorly controlled thyroid function has been linked to weaker response in studies. Same dose, fewer eggs. Patients are almost always surprised nobody flagged this earlier. So a proper[ infertility evaluation](https://saraogihospital.com/infertility-treatment-mumbai/) checks thyroid status before the protocol gets built, not after the outcome disappoints. ## How Is Thyroid Function Checked and Managed Before IVF? The testing part is easy. Getting the timing right is what actually matters. - Blood panel: TSH, free T4 and thyroid antibodies get checked together. Most specialists want TSH under 2.5 mIU/L before stimulation begins. - Levothyroxine: This corrects hypothyroidism, but it takes weeks, not days. That’s the whole case for testing early. - Antibody-positive patients: Some clinics watch these cases more closely even when TSH looks normal. Because a normal number alone doesn’t rule out risk. - Recheck before transfer: Levels can drift once stimulation starts. Catching that early is worth one extra blood draw. Thyroid issues are one piece of a bigger puzzle we screen for before any protocol starts. Our blog on[ why good embryos still fail](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/why-ivf-fails-with-good-embryos/) walks through the immune and lifestyle factors that tend to surface only after a couple of failed attempts. ## Why Choose Saraogi Hospital? [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/) brings 13 years across gynaecology, obstetrics, and clinical embryology to every case. He has treated more than 18,000 patients at IRIS IVF Centre, with a success rate above 70% for women under 35. Pre-cycle workups at Saraogi Hospital include full thyroid screening, not just a single TSH reading, alongside the standard hormonal panel. That extra layer is what catches the subclinical cases a narrower test would let slide through. Plenty of patients arrive here after a previous clinic never mentioned thyroid testing at all. Correcting a TSH imbalance before stimulation is inexpensive and low risk, and it removes one more variable working against the outcome. Call +91 81697 17250 to book a consultation. Thyroid issues are easy to miss and even easier to fix once caught. A simple blood test today could be the difference your next cycle needed. [Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## Frequently Asked Questions ##### Can hypothyroidism reduce IVF success rates? Yes. Uncontrolled hypothyroidism disrupts ovulation and lowers pregnancy rates during IVF. ##### What TSH level is ideal before starting IVF? Under 2.5 mIU/L is the general target most specialists aim for before stimulation. ##### Do thyroid antibodies affect IVF even with normal TSH? Yes. Antibodies raise miscarriage risk on their own, regardless of TSH readings. ##### Should I get thyroid testing before my IVF cycle? Yes.

The good news is there’s hope with Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET). FET treatment in Mumbai is gaining recognition for its advanced techniques and high success rates. Through FET it is possible to preserve the embryos and use them at a later date. Understanding the menstrual cycle and its phases is fundamental for anyone looking into [FET.](https://saraogihospital.com/frozen-embryo-transfer-treatment-in-mumbai/) Properly timed procedures, like the frozen embryo transfer on day 22 of cycle, can significantly impact the results. Always consult with experts, such as Dr. Mohit Saraogi, a renowned [infertility specialist in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/), associated with the [Best IVF Centre in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/), to ensure the most favorable outcomes. *Now, let’s dive deeper into how FET can make a difference in your journey. Interested? Let’s explore further with expert guidance.* ## Understanding the Menstrual Cycle and FET Timing The menstrual cycle refers to a monthly occurrence in which the female reproductive system undergoes relevant changes to increase the likelihood of [pregnancy](https://saraogihospital.com/10-ways-to-improve-your-chances-of-conceiving/). Let’s break it down into its main phases: - ### **Menstrual Phase (Days 1-5):** Marked by bleeding as the uterine lining - ### **Follicular Phase (Days 1-13):** Ovaries prepare to release an egg, with hormonal stimulation of ovarian - ### **Ovulation Phase (Day 14):** A mature egg is released from the ovary, the prime time for conception. - ### **Luteal Phase (Days 15-28):** After ovulation, the body produces progesterone to prepare the uterine lining for pregnancy. For those considering IVF, understanding the FET cycle is crucial. *Let’s explore how frozen embryo transfer (FET) fits into this timeline*. ![Menstrual Cycle](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2OTAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjk5IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjkwIDY5OSI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Menstrual Cycle - Saraogi Hospital") Dr. Mohit Saraogi, a leading [IVF specialist in Mumbai](https://www.clinicspots.com/ivf/mumbai), emphasizes the importance of timing in FET. Syncing the embryo’s developmental stage with the uterine environment can boost success rates significantly. So, what are the advantages of choosing FET on day 22 of the cycle? ## Advantages of Frozen Embryo Transfer on Day 22 of Cycle **Opting for a day 22 frozen embryo transfer offers several benefits:** - Optimal Uterine Environment: The timing aligns with a naturally receptive uterine environment, enhancing the chances of successful implantation. - Flexibility: Embryos can be stored until ideal conditions for transfer emerge, reducing the stress of coordinating a woman’s cycle with embryo preparation. Dr. Mohit Saraogi, a renowned IVF expert, says, “This minimizes the need for hormones, ensuring a less invasive process. A well-timed day 22 transfer harmonizes embryo and uterine lining.” *Day 22 FET: Precision and Comfort, recommended by top IVF experts! Ready to learn about success factors? Let’s dive in.* Dr. Mohit Saraogi, often recognized as the best IVF doctor in Mumbai, states, “This approach reduces the need for hormone therapies, making the process less invasive for the patient. A well- timed transfer, like on day 22, can optimize the harmony between the embryo and the uterine lining.” In essence, the day 22 frozen embryo transfer method emphasizes precision and patient comfort, highly recommended by top IVF doctors, including Dr. Saraogi.

Saraogi Hospital, recognized as the best IVF hospital in Mumbai, offers detailed consultations to ensure patients are well-informed and comfortable with the procedure. ## Post-Transfer Care and Waiting Period after FET After a frozen embryo transfer, taking it easy and avoiding strenuous activities is vital. Mild cramping or spotting may occur, but severe symptoms warrant contacting the fertility clinic. Within approximately 10-14 days, a blood test is scheduled to check for pregnancy. Maintaining a positive environment and reducing stress during this waiting period is beneficial. It’s also an opportunity to discuss IVF charges in Mumbai and plan for potential next steps. ## Avoid strenuous activity after frozen embryo transfer. - Take ample rest - It is normal to experience cramping or spotting - [Contact](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) your fertility specialist in case of severe symptoms - After 10 -14 days of transfer, the fertility specialist recommends a blood test to confirm the pregnancy, - Maintain a positive environment - Take no or minimal stress during this waiting - Make sure to discuss IVF fees in Mumbai and plan the potential next While it is ideal to perform the embryo transfer on day 22 FET, it is possible to schedule the transfer for a later date. ## Alternative FET Timing Options ![Alternative FET Timing Options](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI0MTIiIGhlaWdodD0iMjc2IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNDEyIDI3NiI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "- Saraogi Hospital") While day 22 FET offers benefits, there are other options. It is possible to schedule the FET timing based on the patient’s cycle and fertility specialist’s recommendations. Some women may undergo transfers earlier or later, depending on uterine lining conditions. It’s crucial to remember that each patient is unique, and discussions with fertility specialists help determine the optimal timing for individual needs. ## Conclusion Navigating fertility treatments can be overwhelming, with numerous options and timelines to consider. Understanding each procedure’s intricacies and its alignment with the body’s natural processes is vital. Frozen Embryo Transfer on day 22 of cycle is a good decision as it improves the chances of a successful transfer. The intent is to harmonize the embryo with the most suitable uterine environment for its growth and a successful pregnancy. Dr Mohit Saraogi concedes that a day 22 FET can be a promising move for couples hoping to get pregnant through FET and IVF. ![Navigating fertility](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI0OTciIGhlaWdodD0iNDk3IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNDk3IDQ5NyI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Navigating fertility - Saraogi Hospital") ## Frequently Asked Questions ##### How does FET on day 22 differ from a full IVF cycle? FET on day 22 involves transferring a previously frozen embryo into the uterus, bypassing the initial stages of IVF. A full IVF cycle includes egg retrieval, [fertilization](https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/in-vitro-fertilization/about/pac-20384716), and often fresh embryo transfer. ##### What should I expect during the actual FET procedure on day 22? The FET procedure on day 22 is typically quick and painless. A thawed embryo is placed in the uterus using a thin catheter. It’s an outpatient procedure, allowing you to return home shortly after.

That something is wrong with one of them, and that it’s somehow their fault. It almost never works that way. Infertility usually traces to one of a few places: ovulation, the fallopian tubes, the uterus, or the sperm. And in plenty of couples it’s a bit of both sides at once. Very roughly, it’s the woman about a third of the time, the man about a third, and the rest is shared or never fully pinned down. That last group frustrates everyone, me included. So I can’t tell you the cause from across a desk. We test both partners, because guessing only wastes the one thing you can’t get back. Time. “Patients often want a single reason for infertility, but it’s usually a mix. That’s why we look at both partners together, rather than assuming the cause sits with one of them,” says[ Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/), an IVF and fertility specialist at Saraogi Hospital in Mumbai. **Trying to understand why pregnancy isn’t happening? Book a consultation at Saraogi IVF Centre.** [Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## First, some perspective ![Doctor explains IUI treatment to a couple during a clinic consultation with a uterus diagram on a screen behind them](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDI0IiBoZWlnaHQ9IjU3MiIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDEwMjQgNTcyIj48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojY2ZkNGRiO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg== "image4 - Saraogi Hospital") somewhere near 186 million worldwide. And here’s what nobody mentions when the relatives start asking. Even when everything is working perfectly, a young couple has only about a 20 to 25% chance of conceiving in any single month. One quiet year doesn’t mean something is broken. It’s just about the point where I’d suggest getting checked, or after six months if the woman is past 35. Getting pregnant is really a chain of small steps. A healthy egg. Healthy sperm. Open tubes. The two actually meeting. Then the embryo settling into the uterus. Miss one step and the odds drop. ## What causes infertility in women? ![Illustration of a female reproductive system showing the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries in pink and blue hues as a medical diagram.](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDI0IiBoZWlnaHQ9IjU1OSIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDEwMjQgNTU5Ij48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojY2ZkNGRiO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg== "image1 - Saraogi Hospital") On the woman’s side, three areas cause most of the trouble. Ovulation comes first. When the ovaries don’t release an egg on schedule, often because of[ PCOS](https://saraogihospital.com/how-does-pcos-affect-your-fertility/) or a thyroid problem, there’s simply nothing to fertilise that month. Next are the fallopian tubes. If they’re[ blocked](https://saraogihospital.com/blockage-in-your-fallopian-tube-what-you-need-to-know/), usually from an old infection or endometriosis, the sperm and egg never meet. The uterus can get in the way too, when fibroids, polyps or scar tissue make it hard for an embryo to settle. Sitting quietly behind all of it is age.[ Egg quality](https://saraogihospital.com/what-is-low-ovarian-reserve-and-ways-to-treat-it/) starts sliding years before menopause, and that one genuinely catches people off guard. If a female factor is the issue, our guide on[ treating female infertility with IVF](https://saraogihospital.com/how-can-female-infertility-be-treated-using-ivf/) is worth a read. ## What causes infertility in men? The man’s side is just as common, and it nearly always comes back to the sperm. Too few of them, too slow, or the wrong shape. A varicocele, which is basically swollen veins in the scrotum warming the testicles, is a frequent and very fixable culprit. Hormone problems can lower sperm production. The odd genetic condition, like Klinefelter syndrome, plays a part in a few cases. And the usual lifestyle suspects round things out: smoking, extra weight, heat, and heavy drinking. One[ semen analysis](https://saraogihospital.com/importance-of-semen-analysis-in-male-infertility-treatment/) tells us most of what we need. For the fuller picture, read our guide on[ understanding male infertility](https://saraogihospital.com/understanding-male-infertility-the-first-step-to-getting-pregnant/). The decent news is that a lot of these causes treat well once we find them. ## When the cause isn't obvious ![Couple stands in a wellness center surrounded by panels about health topics like age 35+, stress, sleep, hydration, and medical consultation.](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDI0IiBoZWlnaHQ9IjQzNCIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDEwMjQgNDM0Ij48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojY2ZkNGRiO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg== "image5 - Saraogi Hospital") A handful of factors chip away at fertility no matter who you are. Age is the big one, especially for women past 35. Weight matters too, both ways, too much or too little.[ Smoking](https://saraogihospital.com/the-relation-between-smoking-and-fertility-in-ahmedabad/), heavy drinking, and recreational drugs all take a toll. So do constant stress, poor sleep, untreated infections, and a lot of exposure to heat, radiation or toxins. No single one of these dooms anyone. Pile a few on top of each other and they add up fast. The upside, which I always point out, is that most of them are things you can actually change. **Want both partners checked properly in one place? Visit IRIS IVF Centre at Saraogi Hospital.** [Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## When to see a fertility specialist My rule of thumb is simple.[ See a specialist](https://saraogihospital.com/when-should-you-see-an-infertility-doctor/) after a year of trying, or six months if the woman is over 35. Don’t wait that long if something is already off, like[ irregular periods](https://saraogihospital.com/what-does-your-menstrual-cycle-say-about-your-fertility/),[ endometriosis](https://saraogihospital.com/endometriosis-treatment-in-mumbai/), past pelvic surgery, or a low sperm count. Getting tested early just keeps more doors open. If you’re curious what that involves, our guide on[ how infertility is diagnosed](https://saraogihospital.com/how-is-infertility-diagnosed/) walks you through it. ## The bottom line So what causes infertility? It can start with the woman, the man, both, or nobody in particular. That’s the whole reason both partners should get checked early, instead of one person carrying the worry alone. Once we know the cause, most couples have real options, from medication and surgery to[ IVF treatment](https://saraogihospital.com/infertility-treatment-mumbai/) and[ ICSI](https://saraogihospital.com/icsi-treatment-in-mumbai/). The one thing that almost never helps is waiting it out. If pregnancy isn’t happening, get checked, and pick an experienced[ IVF centre in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/) that looks at both of you under one roof. **Don’t let uncertainty drag on. Book a consultation with Dr. Mohit Saraogi at Saraogi IVF Centre.** [Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## Frequently Asked Questions ##### Is there one main cause of infertility? Not really. It’s split fairly evenly between female factors, male factors, and cases that are mixed or unexplained. In women it’s often an ovulation issue like PCOS, and in men it’s usually something with the sperm. ##### Does it affect men and women equally? More or less. The male partner is involved in around half of all cases, on his own or alongside a female factor. So we always test both, not just the woman. ##### How much does age matter? A lot, especially for women, because egg quality and number fall after the mid-30s. Men’s fertility slips too, just more slowly. ##### What does unexplained infertility actually mean? It means your tests look normal but pregnancy still isn’t happening. It’s common, and IUI or IVF usually still work. ##### Can lifestyle changes really make a difference? Often, yes. A healthy weight, no smoking, less alcohol, and less stress all help. They won’t fix every cause, but they support whatever treatment you’re on. **References** - World Health Organization – Infertility:[ https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/infertility](https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/infertility) - CMR – Indian Council of Medical Research, National ART Registry:[ https://www.icmr.gov.in/](https://www.icmr.gov.in/) **Disclaimer:** The content shared on this page is for informational purposes and not for promotional use. ### Submit a Comment [Cancel reply](/blogs/what-causes-infertility-causes-in-men-women/?aioseo_llms_generation=1#respond) Your email address will not be published.

None of these single-handedly decides a cycle, but together they raise inflammation and oxidative stress in the exact window when your follicles are maturing. The goal isn’t a perfect diet, it’s removing the few things that work against the eggs your body is developing. According to Dr. Mohit Saraogi, a leading[ ivf doctor in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/) at Saraogi Hospital, “Patients ask for a long list of banned foods, but the honest answer is shorter, because a handful of items genuinely matter during stimulation and the rest is just sensible, balanced eating.” Get a stimulation-phase diet built around your cycle, not a generic banned list, talk to Dr. Mohit Saraogi today. [Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## Which Foods Are Best Avoided During Stimulation? A few categories carry real biological weight in this phase. These are the ones most fertility specialists flag first. - Alcohol: Best avoided entirely during stimulation, since it can interfere with hormone balance and add oxidative stress to the follicular environment your eggs are growing in. - High-mercury fish: Shark, swordfish and king mackerel accumulate mercury that’s worth steering clear of, though low-mercury fish like salmon stays a good protein source. - Highly processed food: Packaged snacks, fried items and high-sugar foods drive low-grade inflammation, and cutting them back supports a calmer internal environment during the cycle. - Excess caffeine: A cup or two is usually fine, but heavy intake is best limited through stimulation as a sensible precaution rather than a strict ban. Anyone going through[ ovarian stimulation](https://saraogihospital.com/infertility-treatment-mumbai/) should run their specific diet plan past their treating team rather than following a generic list. ## What Should You Eat More Instead? Removing a few foods only goes so far. What you add back matters just as much during this window. - Protein at every meal: Spreading eggs, lentils, paneer or fish across the day gives follicles a steady amino acid supply rather than one large serving the body can’t fully use. - Antioxidant-rich produce: Colourful vegetables and fruits, berries, leafy greens and nuts help counter the oxidative stress that stimulation can add. - Whole grains over refined: Swapping white bread and refined carbs for whole grains keeps blood sugar steadier, which supports a more stable hormonal backdrop. - Plenty of water: Good hydration matters more than people expect during stimulation, especially as the ovaries enlarge and the body works harder.

[Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/) has 13 years across gynaecology, obstetrics and clinical embryology, more than 18,000 patients treated at IRIS IVF Centre, a success rate above 70% for women under 35, and a stimulation approach where diet and lifestyle guidance is tailored to each patient rather than handed out as a one-size list. What patients consistently mention is that the food advice here is practical, not punishing. The focus stays on a few changes that matter during stimulation, built around the individual cycle, so the guidance feels doable rather than overwhelming. *Cut the few foods that work against your eggs and add the ones that support them, get a plan made for your stimulation phase.* [Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## Frequently Asked Questions ##### Should I avoid alcohol during IVF stimulation? Yes. Alcohol is best avoided during stimulation as it can affect egg quality and hormone balance. ##### Is caffeine bad during IVF stimulation? High caffeine is best limited. Most specialists suggest keeping intake low during the stimulation phase. ##### Can I eat seafood during IVF stimulation? Low-mercury fish is fine, but high-mercury fish like shark and king mackerel should be avoided. ##### Do processed foods affect IVF stimulation? Yes. Highly processed and high-sugar foods can raise inflammation and are best reduced during stimulation. ## References: - Cracking the Code of Oocyte Quality: The Oxidative Stress Link to IVF Success – [NIH / PMC](https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12249650/) - Dietary and Lifestyle Interventions to Mitigate Oxidative Stress in Fertility – [NIH / PMC](https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12195172/) ### Submit a Comment [Cancel reply](/blogs/what-foods-should-you-avoid-during-ivf-stimulation/?aioseo_llms_generation=1#respond) Your email address will not be published.

The age at which the eggs were frozen matters far more than how long they sit in storage, because egg quality is locked in at the moment of freezing. In India, the legal storage window adds its own limits on top of the biology. According to Dr. Mohit Saraogi, a leading[ ivf doctor in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/) at Saraogi Hospital, “Patients worry their eggs are ageing in the tank, but they aren’t, because vitrification effectively stops biological time, and an egg frozen at 30 stays a 30-year-old egg however long it waits.” Thinking about freezing your eggs but unsure how the timing fits your plans? Get a clear picture of storage, costs and the right age to freeze before you decide. [Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## How Long Do Frozen Eggs Actually Stay Viable? Storage time is rarely the limiting factor most people assume it to be. What happens inside the tank is far more stable than the worry suggests. - No biological clock: Once vitrified, eggs are held at minus 196 degrees Celsius, a temperature at which all cellular activity stops, so an egg stored for ten years is biologically identical to one stored for one. - Proven track record: Healthy babies have been born from eggs stored well beyond a decade, and survival rates after thawing stay high when the original freezing was done well. - Storage quality matters: The real risk isn’t time, it’s the tank itself, so consistent liquid nitrogen levels and reliable lab monitoring are what actually protect the eggs over the years. - Age at freezing wins: Eggs frozen at 30 carry better odds than eggs frozen at 38, regardless of who waited longer, because the freezing date sets the quality, not the thaw date. A well-run[ egg freezing](https://saraogihospital.com/egg-freezing-in-mumbai/) programme builds this long-term monitoring in from day one rather than treating it as an afterthought. ## What Are the Legal and Practical Limits in India? Biology allows long storage, but the rules and your own plans shape the real timeline. This is where the decade figure usually comes from. - The ART Act: Under the Assisted Reproductive Technology Act 2021, eggs can generally be stored for up to ten years, with extensions allowed in specific medical circumstances on documented grounds. - Annual consent: Storage runs on yearly consent and renewal, so keeping contact details and paperwork current with the clinic is what keeps the eggs in active storage without interruption. - Use-by planning: Most women use frozen eggs within a few years, often when career, health or relationship timing aligns, so the full ten years is rarely needed in practice. - Cost over time: Annual storage fees add up, so it’s worth weighing how many years of storage are realistic against when you actually expect to use the eggs. Our earlier blog on[ PGT-A testing](https://saraogihospital.com/pgt-a-testing-in-india-cost-when-to-do-it/) covers how embryos created from thawed eggs get screened before transfer, which is the next step once you decide to use them. ## Why Choose Saraogi Hospital? [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/) has 13 years across gynaecology, obstetrics and clinical embryology, more than 18,000 patients treated at IRIS IVF Centre, a success rate above 70% for women under 35, and an embryology lab where vitrified eggs are stored under continuous monitoring so survival rates hold up years down the line. What patients consistently mention is that the storage conversation here is honest about what matters. The focus stays on freezing at the right age and maintaining the eggs properly, rather than implying that a longer storage period somehow weakens what was frozen. Your eggs don’t age in the tank, but the right freezing age and proper monitoring are what protect them. [Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## Frequently Asked Questions ##### How long can frozen eggs be stored safely? Frozen eggs can be stored for ten years or more with no measurable drop in quality when kept correctly. ##### Do frozen eggs lose quality over time in storage? No. Vitrified eggs stay biologically frozen, so storage duration does not affect their quality. ##### Is there a legal limit on egg storage in India? Yes. The ART Act 2021 permits egg storage for up to ten years, with extensions in defined situations. ##### Does the woman's age at freezing matter more than storage time? Yes. Egg quality is fixed at the age of freezing, so younger freezing matters far more than storage length. ## References: - The Effect of Sperm DNA Fragmentation Index on IUI and ICSI Outcomes – [NIH / PMC](https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6764233/) - Sperm DNA Fragmentation Index and Pregnancy Outcomes in ART – [NIH / PMC](https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10764900/) ### Submit a Comment [Cancel reply](/blogs/how-long-can-frozen-eggs-be-stored-before-ivf/?aioseo_llms_generation=1#respond) Your email address will not be published.

A standard semen analysis checks count, motility and shape, but it can’t see this damage, which is why two men with identical reports can have very different fertility. High fragmentation is linked to lower fertilisation, poorer embryo quality and a higher miscarriage risk in IVF. According to Dr. Mohit Saraogi, a leading[ ivf doctor in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/) at Saraogi Hospital, “A normal semen report can hide a real problem, because count and motility tell you the sperm are there and moving, not whether the DNA inside them is intact enough to build a healthy embryo.” Worried a normal semen report is hiding the real reason your cycles haven’t worked? A simple DNA fragmentation test gives you the answer before you commit to another round. [Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## What Causes Sperm DNA Fragmentation and How Is It Measured? The damage usually builds up over time from factors that are easy to overlook. Testing puts a clear number on it before any treatment plan gets made. - Common causes: Oxidative stress is the main driver, and it gets worse with smoking, heat exposure, infection, varicocele and advancing age. Lifestyle plays a bigger role here than most patients expect. - The test: A semen sample is run through a specialised assay, SCSA, TUNEL or Comet, that calculates a DNA fragmentation index, or DFI, as a percentage of damaged sperm. - Reading the result: A DFI under 15 percent is reassuring, 15 to 30 percent sits in a grey zone, and anything above 30 percent flags a real concern that shapes the protocol. - When to test: Recurrent IVF failure, repeated miscarriage, unexplained infertility or a normal semen report with poor outcomes are the usual triggers for ordering it. A complete[ ICSI treatment](https://saraogihospital.com/icsi-treatment-in-mumbai/) workup pairs this test with the standard semen analysis so the full picture is clear before stimulation starts. ## Does High Sperm DNA Fragmentation Lower IVF Success? It can, but it rarely ends the conversation. The right lab technique works around most of the damage rather than being defeated by it. - The impact: High DFI is associated with lower fertilisation rates, slower embryo development and a higher chance of early pregnancy loss, so it genuinely matters for outcomes. - Sperm selection: ICSI lets the embryologist pick a single sperm, and IMSI takes that further with ultra-high magnification that filters out sperm standard selection would have passed as healthy. - Surgical sperm: When ejaculated samples show very high fragmentation, sperm retrieved directly from the testis often carries less DNA damage and improves the odds. - Fixing the source: Antioxidant therapy, treating a varicocele or clearing an infection over two to three months can lower DFI before the cycle even begins. Our earlier post comparing[ IMSI](https://saraogihospital.com/ivf-vs-icsi-vs-imsi-which-is-right/) with other techniques covers how these selection decisions get made for different male-factor profiles. ## Why Choose Saraogi Hospital? [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/) has 13 years across gynaecology, obstetrics and clinical embryology, more than 18,000 patients treated at IRIS IVF Centre, a success rate above 70% for women under 35, and an andrology workup that builds DNA fragmentation testing into routine male-factor evaluation rather than treating it as an afterthought. What patients consistently mention is that a high fragmentation result doesn’t arrive as a dead end. It gets read alongside the semen analysis, the couple’s history and the female evaluation before the lab technique is chosen, so the plan is built to work around the damage rather than around the number alone. High fragmentation isn’t the end of your IVF journey. With the right sperm selection and a plan built around your result, the odds shift back in your favour. [Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## Frequently Asked Questions ##### What is a normal sperm DNA fragmentation level? A DNA fragmentation index below 15 percent is considered normal. Above 30 percent is linked to lower fertility. ##### Can IVF work with high sperm DNA fragmentation? Yes. ICSI or IMSI with careful sperm selection helps IVF succeed even when fragmentation is high. ##### How is sperm DNA fragmentation tested?

A single functioning ovary still ovulates, still responds to stimulation drugs and still produces retrievable eggs. What matters far more than ovary count is the ovarian reserve and egg quality of the ovary you do have. According to Dr. Mohit Saraogi, a leading[ ivf doctor in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/) at Saraogi Hospital, “Patients hear ‘one ovary’ and assume their chances are halved, but the body doesn’t work that way, because a single healthy ovary often compensates and responds almost as well as two.” Planning IVF with one ovary and want to know what your reserve actually allows? [Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## How Does One Ovary Affect IVF Stimulation? A single ovary changes how a cycle gets planned, not whether it can happen. The stimulation protocol simply gets built around what that one ovary can deliver. - Reserve first: AMH and antral follicle count get checked before anything else, because they tell us how the remaining ovary is likely to respond rather than just how many ovaries are present. - Dose adjustment: Gonadotropin doses are sometimes set slightly higher to coax a full response from one ovary, though the goal stays the same, retrieving good eggs without overstimulating. - Monitoring: Ultrasound tracking tends to be closer in single-ovary cycles, so the timing of trigger and retrieval lines up exactly with how the follicles are growing. - Realistic targets: Egg numbers may run slightly lower per cycle, but quality is what drives outcomes, and one ovary can absolutely produce the embryos a transfer needs. A full[ infertility treatment](https://saraogihospital.com/infertility-treatment-mumbai/) workup gives the complete picture before the protocol gets locked. ## Does One Ovary Lower Your IVF Success Rate? Most women with one ovary are surprised by how little it changes their odds. The number of ovaries matters far less than what people expect. - Compensation effect: A remaining ovary frequently steps up its activity over time, so reserve and response often hold closer to normal than a halved expectation would suggest. - Age outweighs count: A younger woman with one ovary usually outperforms an older woman with two, because egg quality declines with age in a way ovary number simply doesn’t touch. - Banking option: When reserve runs low, collecting embryos across two or three cycles builds a healthy pool without any single retrieval having to carry the whole plan. - Cause matters: Why the second ovary is absent, surgery, a cyst or a congenital reason, can shape the approach, so that history gets reviewed carefully before stimulation starts. Our earlier post on[ AMH levels](https://saraogihospital.com/what-should-amh-be-to-start-ivf/) covers how reserve testing guides these protocol decisions for different patient profiles. ## Why Choose Saraogi Hospital? [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/) has 13 years across gynaecology, obstetrics and clinical embryology, more than 18,000 patients treated at IRIS IVF Centre, a success rate above 70% for women under 35, and a long track record of single-ovary cycles that reached successful pregnancy. What patients consistently mention is that a single-ovary diagnosis doesn’t arrive with a discouraging prognosis attached. It gets read alongside age, AMH and antral follicle count before the cycle plan is built, so the consultation ends with a realistic path forward, not a lowered expectation. Get a single-ovary cycle planned around your AMH and follicle count, not a halved expectation. Schedule your assessment today. [Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## Frequently Asked Questions ##### Can you get pregnant naturally with one ovary? Yes. A single healthy ovary ovulates monthly and can support natural conception in many women. ##### Does having one ovary lower IVF success rates? Not significantly when ovarian reserve is good. Egg quality and age matter far more than ovary count. ##### Will one ovary produce fewer eggs during IVF? Sometimes slightly fewer, but stimulation is adjusted so the single ovary responds as fully as possible. ##### Should AMH be tested before IVF with one ovary? Yes. AMH and antral follicle count confirm how the remaining ovary is likely to respond. ## References: - Effect of Stress on Each of the Stages of the IVF Procedure: A Systematic Review – [NIH / PMC](https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10815004/) - Does Stress Affect IVF Outcomes?

Whether it meaningfully changes outcomes is a question most patients carry through every stage of treatment without a clear answer. The research is more nuanced than a yes or no, and understanding which type of stress matters and when is what actually helps. According to Dr. Mohit Saraogi, a leading[ ivf doctor in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/) at Saraogi Hospital, “Stress does not directly cause IVF to fail, but chronic stress suppresses the hormonal environment your cycle depends on, and that is a clinical variable worth taking seriously. Telling a patient to simply relax is not useful advice. Building a practical stress management plan into the cycle is.” Preparing for IVF and want to understand how stress affects your chances? [Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## What Does Stress Actually Do to Your IVF Cycle? The mechanism is hormonal, not emotional. Stress does not make the embryo worse or the uterus structurally hostile. What it does is interfere with the hormonal signalling your cycle runs on at every stage. - Cortisol and reproductive hormones: Chronic stress keeps cortisol elevated, and elevated cortisol directly suppresses the hypothalamic release of GnRH. - Egg retrieval is the most affected stage: A systematic review published in 2024 found that both chronic and acute stress had a significant negative association with egg retrieval outcomes specifically. - Anxiety scores and live birth rates: A prospective study found that lower cortisol and norepinephrine levels at the time of egg retrieval were associated with successful treatment outcomes, and anxiety was linked to both pregnancy rate and live birth rate. - Chronic versus acute stress: The distinction matters clinically. Chronic stress running through weeks of stimulation has a measurable negative association with outcomes at multiple stages. Understanding how your pre-cycle hormonal picture connects to stress responses is part of a thorough[ infertility evaluation](https://saraogihospital.com/infertility-treatment-mumbai/) before any protocol decisions are made. ## What Actually Helps Manage Stress During IVF? Generic advice to relax does not have a mechanism. Specific practices do. The ones with clinical evidence behind them are worth knowing before the cycle starts. - Mindfulness and structured breathing: Daily mindfulness practice reduces cortisol measurably within two to three weeks in patients under chronic stress, which is exactly the timeline that overlaps with the stimulation phase of a standard IVF cycle. - CBT and psychological support: Structured psychological intervention across multiple sessions has shown improvements in perceived stress scores that correlate with IVF success in some studies. - Exercise with the right ceiling: Moderate exercise including walking, swimming and yoga reduces cortisol and improves sleep quality during stimulation. - Sleep as a clinical variable: Poor sleep elevates inflammatory markers and cortisol simultaneously. Our earlier blog on[ how to improve egg quality before IVF](https://saraogihospital.com/how-to-improve-egg-quality-before-ivf-in-30-days/) covers the full pre-cycle preparation picture, including the nutritional and lifestyle factors that work alongside stress management to optimise retrieval outcomes. ## Why Choose Saraogi Hospital? [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/) has 13 years across gynaecology, obstetrics and clinical embryology, more than 18,000 patients treated at IRIS IVF Centre, and a success rate above 70% for women under 35. Pre-cycle preparation at Saraogi Hospital includes a review of stress load, sleep quality and lifestyle factors alongside the standard hormonal workup, because those variables connect to stimulation response in ways that show up in actual retrieval outcomes. What patients consistently mention is that the conversation here does not stop at blood results. The full picture, including what is happening in their daily life during the cycle, shapes how the protocol gets built and supported. Start your IVF cycle with a complete preparation plan, not just a prescription. [Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## Frequently Asked Questions ##### Does stress directly cause IVF to fail? Chronic stress does not directly cause IVF failure but it suppresses LH and FSH signalling and is associated with lower egg retrieval numbers, pregnancy rates and live birth rates. ##### What type of stress is most harmful during IVF? Chronic stress running through the stimulation phase has the strongest negative association with IVF outcomes. Acute stress on a single day shows a weaker and less consistent relationship. ##### Can stress management improve IVF success rates? Structured interventions including mindfulness and CBT have shown measurable cortisol and anxiety reductions in IVF patients, with some studies linking lower perceived stress to improved clinical outcomes. ##### Should I tell my IVF doctor about my stress levels? Yes. Significant anxiety or chronic stress is worth discussing before and during the cycle, as it may influence protocol planning and whether psychological support is built into your treatment plan. ## References: - Effect of Stress on Each of the Stages of the IVF Procedure: A Systematic Review – [NIH / PMC](https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10815004/) - Does Stress Affect IVF Outcomes?

That review typically looks at medication protocol, embryo transfer timing and whether diagnostic testing like ERA, hysteroscopy or immunological workup belongs in the next cycle. According to Dr. Mohit Saraogi, a leading[ ivf doctor in mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/) at Saraogi Hospital, “A failed transfer is diagnostic information as much as it is a disappointment, because what we learn from it shapes the next cycle in ways the first one couldn’t.” A failed embryo transfer doesn’t mean the end of your IVF journey. Consult a fertility specialist to identify the cause and plan your next steps with confidence. [Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## Why Do Embryo Transfers Fail Even With Good Embryos? A good-grade embryo doesn’t guarantee implantation. Most patients find that out the hard way. When quality isn’t the problem, the investigation has to look elsewhere. - Uterine lining: Below 7mm endometrial thickness is a red flag, but lining pattern matters just as much. Submucosal fibroids, polyps and scarring from previous procedures are all things a standard scan can miss entirely, and they sit quietly in the uterus failing transfers until someone looks properly. - Chromosomal issues: Visual embryo grading tells you about cell division and fragmentation. It tells you nothing about chromosomal status. An embryo that grades 4AA can still carry an abnormality that makes implantation biologically impossible, and without PGT-A that information simply isn’t available before the transfer. - Immune factors: Elevated NK cells, antiphospholipid syndrome, thrombophilia. These aren’t rare. They’re underdiagnosed. A uterus that looks structurally normal on ultrasound can still mount an immune response that blocks implantation, and most patients haven’t been tested for any of these after a first failure. - Timing: The receptivity window is genuinely narrow. A 12 to 24-hour shift from peak receptivity changes outcomes in a subset of patients, and the only way to know if timing is your issue is an ERA test, not a repeat transfer on the same protocol that already failed. A full case review through an[ IVF treatment consultation](https://saraogihospital.com/ivf-centre-in-andheri-mumbai/) is where this investigation actually starts. ## What Should Actually Happen Before Your Next Transfer? Booking another transfer without changing anything is how one failure becomes three. The tests below aren’t optional extras. For specific patients they’re the difference between another negative and a pregnancy. - ERA test: About 25 percent of women who’ve had repeated failed transfers with good embryos have a displaced implantation window. ERA identifies your personal peak receptivity timing through endometrial gene expression analysis, and for that 25 percent it shifts the transfer timing by a full day or more, which is enough to change everything. - Hysteroscopy: Ultrasound misses things. A direct camera inside the uterine cavity finds polyps, adhesions and septums that imaging doesn’t capture, and treating these before the next transfer removes a structural problem that no medication adjustment can work around. - Immune and clotting screen: NK cell testing, antiphospholipid antibodies, thrombophilia panel. These tests come after a first failure for most patients, not before. Identifying a clotting or immune issue opens treatment options including intralipid infusions, low-dose aspirin and progesterone directly address the cause. - PGT-A discussion: If the previous cycle didn’t include chromosomal testing, transferring another untested embryo into a now-investigated uterus solves half the equation and ignores the other half. The conversation about PGT-A belongs here, not after a second failure. Our earlier blog on[ PGT-A testing in India](https://saraogihospital.com/pgt-a-testing-india-cost-when-to-do-it-is-it-worth/) covers when chromosomal screening is actually worth adding to your cycle. ## Why Choose Saraogi Hospital? [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/) has 13 years across gynaecology, obstetrics and clinical embryology. More than 18,000 patients at IRIS IVF Centre, a success rate above 70% for women under 35, and a specific track record with repeated implantation failure where post-failure protocol revision changed outcomes for patients who’d already been told they were running out of options. What patients consistently mention is that a failed cycle doesn’t trigger an automatic repeat booking here. Every variable from the previous transfer gets pulled apart first. Lining, timing, chromosomal status, immune markers. The next cycle gets built around what that review finds. Ready to move forward after a failed embryo transfer?

[Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## Frequently Asked Questions ##### How soon can I try IVF again after a failed embryo transfer? Most doctors recommend waiting one full menstrual cycle before attempting another transfer. ##### Is a second IVF transfer more likely to succeed after one failure? Cumulative success rates improve with each euploid embryo transferred, even after an initial failure. ##### What tests should I do after a failed embryo transfer? ERA test, hysteroscopy, immunological workup and PGT-A review are the most clinically relevant next steps. ##### Does a failed transfer mean my embryos were poor quality? Not necessarily. Uterine, immune and timing factors fail transfers with good-quality embryos regularly. **Disclaimer:** This blog is intended for informational purposes only and should not be taken as medical advice.

With advanced lab protocols, AI-powered embryo selection, blastocyst culture, and improved cryopreservation methods, the ICSI success rate in 2026 has reached new heights, offering hope to thousands of couples facing male-factor infertility and unexplained infertility. “ICSI doesn’t just bypass fertilisation barriers, it gives couples a real, measurable chance at parenthood,” says Dr. Mohit Saraogi, one of Mumbai’s leading [IVF](https://saraogihospital.com/) and fertility specialists at [Saraogi Hospital](https://saraogihospital.com/about/). Planning your ICSI cycle in 2026? Book a consultation at Saraogi IVF Centre today. [Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## What Is ICSI Embryo Transfer? ICSI is an advanced form of in vitro fertilisation (IVF) where a single healthy sperm is injected directly into a mature egg using a microscopic needle. The fertilised egg is cultured into an embryo for 3 to 5 days, after which the best-quality embryo is transferred into the woman’s uterus. ICSI is primarily recommended for: - Z Male-factor infertility (low sperm count, poor motility, abnormal morphology) - Z Repeated IVF or fertilisation failures - Z Cases requiring preimplantation genetic testing (PGT-A) - Z Frozen sperm or surgically retrieved sperm (TESA/PESA) Couples opting for [ICSI Treatment in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/icsi-treatment-in-mumbai/) benefit from advanced techniques like IMSI, PICSI, and time-lapse embryo monitoring. ## ICSI Embryo Transfer Success Rate in India in 2026 In 2026, the average ICSI embryo transfer success rate in India ranges between 50% and 60% per transfer for women under 35. At top fertility centres in Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad using advanced protocols (blastocyst culture, AI-assisted embryo selection, and ERA-guided transfers), success rates climb to 65% to 70% for young patients. **Success Rates by Maternal Age (Per Transfer)** **Age GroupApprox.

This reduces subjectivity, improves embryo grading consistency, and helps select the most viable embryo for transfer. Studies show AI-driven embryo selection can boost IVF and ICSI success rates by 10% to 15%, especially in high-volume clinics. ### **ERA (Endometrial Receptivity Analysis)** ERA analyses the endometrium to identify each woman’s unique “window of implantation,” allowing precisely timed embryo transfers. For patients with previous implantation failures or recurrent pregnancy loss, ERA-guided transfer can significantly improve pregnancy odds. Top fertility hospitals in India now combine ICSI + blastocyst culture + AI selection + ERA testing, reporting higher per-transfer pregnancy rates for women under 35. ## Frozen vs Fresh ICSI Embryo Transfer: 2026 Data ![Lab bench with multiple pipettes on stand, Petri dishes on a scale, and a centrifuge in a modern biomedical lab.](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI1ODgiIGhlaWdodD0iMzQwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNTg4IDM0MCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Picture4 - Saraogi Hospital") Yes, frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycles often deliver equal or better success rates than fresh cycles in 2026. Vitrification preserves embryo viability with over 95% survival, and the uterus recovers from ovarian stimulation, creating a more receptive environment for implantation. Top clinics offering [Frozen Embryo Transfer Treatment in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/frozen-embryo-transfer-treatment-in-mumbai/) report FET success rates of 65% to 72% in women under 35. ## When to Consult a Fertility Specialist for ICSI Treatment It’s time to see a fertility expert if you experience: - Difficulty conceiving for more than 12 months (or 6 months if you’re over 35) - Male-factor infertility, low sperm count, or poor motility - Previous IVF or ICSI failures - Recurrent pregnancy loss or implantation failure - Diagnosed conditions like PCOS, endometriosis, or blocked tubes “Don’t delay. Time is the most valuable factor in fertility care,” says Dr. Saraogi. ## Cost of ICSI Embryo Transfer in India (2026) ![A clinician presents a medical image on a tablet to a couple during a clinic consultation in a treatment room.](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI0OTMiIGhlaWdodD0iMjM1IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNDkzIDIzNSI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Picture5 - Saraogi Hospital") The cost of an ICSI cycle in India typically ranges between ₹1,50,000 and ₹2,80,000 per cycle, depending on: - Z Clinic reputation and location - Z Fertility medications and stimulation protocols - Z Lab technology (AI embryo selection, time-lapse incubators) - Z Add-on procedures (PGT-A, ERA, assisted hatching) - Z Frozen embryo storage and FET fees Despite advanced technology, India remains one of the most affordable destinations for ICSI treatment, attracting medical tourists from across the globe. Let’s wrap this up: ## Conclusion The ICSI embryo transfer success rate in India in 2026 is more promising than ever before, thanks to advanced lab technology, personalised protocols, and skilled fertility teams. While age, embryo quality, and lifestyle play major roles, expert guidance combined with cutting-edge tools like AI embryo selection, ERA testing, and PGT-A can dramatically improve outcomes.At Saraogi Hospital, our patient-first approach combines diagnostic precision, advanced reproductive technology, and compassionate care, so you’re not just treated, but truly supported on your journey. For deeper understanding, explore our detailed guide on [IVF vs ICSI vs IMSI: Which Is Right?](https://saraogihospital.com/ivf-vs-icsi-vs-imsi-which-is-right/) to choose the most suitable treatment for your needs. ## Frequently Asked Questions ##### Q1: Is ICSI embryo transfer safe for the baby? Yes. Extensive global research, including long-term studies, confirms that babies born through ICSI are as healthy as naturally conceived babies. The risk of birth defects is minimal and comparable to standard IVF outcomes. ##### Q2: What is the cost of an ICSI embryo transfer cycle in India in 2026? The cost of an ICSI cycle in India typically ranges between ₹1,50,000 and ₹2,80,000, depending on the clinic, medications, lab technology, and add-on procedures like PGT-A, ERA, or assisted hatching. ##### Q3: How long does the entire ICSI embryo transfer process take? A complete ICSI cycle usually takes 4 to 6 weeks, including ovarian stimulation, egg retrieval, fertilisation, embryo culture, and embryo transfer. The pregnancy test is done 10 to 14 days after the transfer. ##### Q4: Can ICSI be combined with PGT-A testing to improve success rates? Yes. Combining ICSI with PGT-A (Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy) helps identify chromosomally normal embryos, which can increase implantation rates by 15% to 20%, especially for women above 35. ##### Q5: Is bed rest required after ICSI embryo transfer? No. Studies show that strict bed rest does not improve pregnancy outcomes. Patients are advised to resume normal, light activities while avoiding strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, and emotional stress for the first 2 weeks. **References** - Cleveland Clinic – Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI): - NCBI – Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection Overview: - ICMR – Indian Council of Medical Research, National ART Registry: - ESHRE – ART and ICSI Guidelines: Disclaimer: The content shared on this page is for informational purposes and not for promotional use. ### Submit a Comment [Cancel reply](/blogs/icsi-embryo-transfer-success-rate-in-india-2026/?aioseo_llms_generation=1#respond) Your email address will not be published.

With IUI, the sperm is washed in a lab and placed inside the uterus by a doctor, right around the time of ovulation. That single difference is what raises the chances for many couples who have been trying for a while without luck.“IUI is the closest medical alternative to natural conception. It assists your body, not replaces it,” says Dr. Mohit Saraogi, one of Mumbai’s leading [IVF](https://saraogihospital.com/) and fertility specialists at [Saraogi Hospital](https://saraogihospital.com/about/). Still trying without results? Book a fertility consultation today. [Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## What is a natural pregnancy? Natural pregnancy is simple in theory. A couple has intercourse near the woman’s fertile days. Sperm enters the vagina, swims past the cervix, moves through the uterus, and finally reaches the fallopian tube. If an egg is waiting there, fertilisation happens. The fertilised egg then drifts back to the uterus and settles into the lining. A few weeks later, a missed period and a positive test confirm what has happened.The catch is that several things must go right at the same time. Ovulation has to happen regularly. The fallopian tubes must be clear. The uterine lining has to be ready. Sperm count, motility, and shape must be in a healthy range. And the timing of intercourse must line up with the fertile window, which is only a few days each cycle. Most healthy couples manage to conceive within six to twelve months of trying. Some take longer, and that is where things start to feel stressful. ## What Is IUI (Intrauterine Insemination)? ![Couple consults with a doctor who shows a tablet displaying a uterus diagram.](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MTEiIGhlaWdodD0iMzA1IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjExIDMwNSI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Picture2 - Saraogi Hospital") IUI stands for Intrauterine Insemination. The procedure itself is fairly low-key. A woman’s cycle is tracked with scans and blood tests. Once she is close to ovulation, her partner gives a sperm sample. The lab cleans it, picks out the strongest sperm, and concentrates them into a small volume. Then a doctor uses a thin, flexible tube to place that sperm right inside the uterus.Couples opting for [IUI Treatment in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/iui-treatment-in-mumbai/) usually get a mix of ovulation tracking, mild stimulation medicines, and one or two timed inseminations during a single cycle. IUI tends to suit specific situations. Mild male-factor issues. Unexplained infertility, which is more common than people realise. Cervical mucus problems. Ovulation issues like PCOS. It also works well for couples using donor sperm and for single women who want to start a family on their own. In short, IUI is the first medical step when natural attempts have not worked but IVF is not yet on the table. ## Key Differences Between IUI and Natural Pregnancy A side-by-side view makes the gap easier to see:**FeatureNatural PregnancyIUI (Intrauterine Insemination)**Where fertilisation happensFallopian tubeFallopian tube (sperm placed in uterus first)Doctor involvedNoYesOvulation trackingNot neededDone with scans and hormone testsSperm preparationNoneWashed and concentrated in a labMedicinesNoneOften used (Clomid, Letrozole, gonadotropins)Per-cycle success15% to 25% under 3510% to 20% per cycleCost in IndiaFreeRoughly ₹8,000 to ₹25,000 per cycleBest suited forHealthy couplesMild infertility, donor sperm, single womenTime to result6 to 12 months on average3 to 6 cycles suggestedHow invasiveNot at allMinimally invasiveIUI is the gentlest step up from natural conception.

[Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## How Does the IUI Procedure Work? ![Clinician in blue scrubs and mask prepares instruments at a tray as a patient sits in a reclining chair with a companion in a clinic; a monitor shows a medical image in the background.](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDQiIGhlaWdodD0iMzA0IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjA0IDMwNCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Picture3 - Saraogi Hospital") The whole thing fits into one menstrual cycle. The first step is tracking. Doctors use ultrasound scans and a few blood tests to watch how follicles grow on the ovaries. When the follicles look right, a small hCG trigger shot is given to release the egg at a precise time. On the day of the procedure, the male partner provides a fresh sample, and the lab spends about an hour washing and preparing it.Then the actual insemination happens. A thin catheter, similar to one used for a Pap smear, carries the sperm into the uterus. It is over in five to ten minutes. No anaesthesia. No hospital stay. Most women walk out and go about their day. Two weeks later, a blood test confirms whether the cycle worked. ## Success Rates: IUI vs Natural Pregnancy ![Side-by-side illustration: left shows natural conception with a uterus diagram and a couple; right shows a fertility clinic consult (IUI) with a doctor and couple reviewing uterine diagram on a tablet.](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MzYiIGhlaWdodD0iMjk1IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjM2IDI5NSI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Picture4 - Saraogi Hospital") Both numbers depend on age, sperm quality, and any underlying issues, but here is a rough sense of how they compare.For natural pregnancy, women under 30 have about a 20% to 25% chance per cycle. The numbers slide gradually after that. Around 15% to 20% from 30 to 34. Roughly 10% to 15% from 35 to 37. About 5% to 10% from 38 to 40. After 40, it drops below 5% per cycle. IUI shows a similar age curve, with one notable advantage. It tends to deliver more steady results when there is an existing fertility issue. Women under 35 see about 15% to 20% per cycle. Between 35 and 37, it is 10% to 15%. From 38 to 40, around 8% to 10%. Above 40, only 2% to 5%. The bigger story is the cumulative number. After three to six cycles, the total success rate can reach 40% to 50% in women under 35. If pregnancy has not happened by the fourth cycle, doctors usually start a conversation about IVF or ICSI. ## When Should You Switch from Natural Conception to IUI? There is no single right moment, but there are some clear signals. If you have been trying for more than twelve months without success (or six months if you are over 35), it is time. Irregular periods, PCOS, or any kind of ovulation issue is another reason. Mild sperm problems too. Plus all the cases where IUI was always the plan, like donor sperm or single parenthood.Waiting too long is the most common mistake. Time is the one thing fertility care cannot give back. Comprehensive [Infertility Treatment in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/infertility-treatment-mumbai/) at Saraogi Hospital usually starts with a proper workup. Hormone panels, ultrasounds, semen analysis, and a discussion about what makes sense next. Sometimes the answer is to keep trying naturally for a few more months. Sometimes it is to start IUI right away. Either way, you have a plan. ## Risks and Considerations IUI is safe for almost everyone. A few women feel mild cramping or notice some spotting after the procedure, but this passes within a day. When fertility medicines are used to stimulate ovulation, the odds of twins go up, and in rare cases there can be ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. Infection is extremely rare because the clinics follow strict sterile protocols.Natural pregnancy has no medical risks of its own. But for couples who already know something is off, “just keep trying” can quietly cost months that would have been better spent on a real plan. ## Conclusion The line between IUI and natural pregnancy is not about whether one is better. It is about whether your body needs a hand. Natural conception works for most healthy couples given enough time. IUI is the tool that closes the gap when something small is in the way, before anything bigger like IVF or ICSI is needed.At Saraogi Hospital, we keep it practical. Good diagnostics, personalised IUI protocols, and a team that explains every step.

Not always. For healthy couples, natural conception is the first thing to try for six to twelve months. IUI becomes the better option when there are fertility issues, when there is no male partner, or when time is running short due to age. ##### Q2: How many IUI cycles should I try before moving to IVF? Most doctors suggest three to six IUI cycles. If nothing happens by the fourth, IVF or ICSI is usually the next step. Women over 35 sometimes skip ahead sooner. ##### Q3: Does IUI hurt or require anaesthesia? No. It feels similar to a Pap smear, a brief moment of cramping at most. No anaesthesia, no hospital admission, no recovery time. You can drive home afterwards. ##### Q4: What is the cost of IUI in India in 2026? Roughly ₹8,000 to ₹25,000 per cycle. The range depends on the clinic, the medicines used, the sperm wash, and how much monitoring is needed. ##### Q5: Can twins or multiple pregnancies happen with IUI? Yes, slightly more often than with natural conception. The chance of twins goes up to about 10% to 20% when ovulation-inducing medicines are used. Without those medicines, the risk is close to natural. **References**- Cleveland Clinic – Intrauterine Insemination (IUI): - Mayo Clinic – Intrauterine Insemination: - NCBI – Intrauterine Insemination Outcomes Review: - ICMR – Indian Council of Medical Research: Disclaimer: The content shared on this page is for informational purposes and not for promotional use. ### Submit a Comment [Cancel reply](/blogs/what-is-the-difference-between-iui-and-natural-pregnancy/?aioseo_llms_generation=1#respond) Your email address will not be published.

In 2026, Mumbai fertility clinics report success rates between 40-60% for women under 35. But that number doesn’t tell you everything. Your actual success depends on factors specific to your situation – your age, health, the clinic you choose, and how you prepare. ![IVF Success Rates in Mumbai: What to Expect in 2026](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDIiIGhlaWdodD0iNDAxIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAyIDQwMSI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Picture2 - Saraogi Hospital") [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/) explains it best: “Success rates are statistics. What matters is YOUR outcome. We focus on understanding each couple’s unique situation and optimizing their personal chances.” This guide breaks down what you need to know about [IVF success rates in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/what-is-the-ivf-success-rate-in-mumbai/), what actually drives success, and how to maximize your odds. We’ve based this on real data and the experience of treating thousands of couples. ## Current IVF Success Rates in Mumbai & How Age Matters Here’s what the data shows: ### Live Birth Rates by Age (Per Fresh Cycle): Here’s what the data shows: #### Women under 30: 50-65% #### Women 30-35: 45-60% #### Women 35-40: 35-45% #### Women 40-45: 20-30% #### Women over 45: 5-15% The difference with age comes down to egg quality. Women are born with all their eggs. After 35, eggs develop more chromosomal problems—it’s not about having fewer eggs, it’s about quality. At 25, only 15% of eggs have issues. By 42, that jumps to 65%. Only healthy embryos implant successfully. That’s why success rates drop after 35. About Mumbai’s Clinics: Mumbai’s success rates are solid compared to national averages. But they vary between clinics—some report 60%+ while others are lower. Where you get treated matters. A good clinic with experienced doctors and modern technology makes a real difference. **Concerned about your IVF success chances?

Modern labs use time-lapse imaging to pick the best embryos—this improves success by 15-25%. ![Uterine Health](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDIiIGhlaWdodD0iNDAxIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAyIDQwMSI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Uterine Health - Saraogi Hospital") ### Uterine Health Your uterus needs to be ready. The lining should be 8-14mm thick, and it has a specific window for implantation. Fibroids, polyps, or infections reduce success by 20-40%. A pre-cycle uterine check can catch these issues. ![Clinic Expertise](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxODgwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEyNTQiIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCAxODgwIDEyNTQiPjxyZWN0IHdpZHRoPSIxMDAlIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEwMCUiIHN0eWxlPSJmaWxsOiNjZmQ0ZGI7ZmlsbC1vcGFjaXR5OiAwLjE7Ii8+PC9zdmc+ "Clinic Expertise - Saraogi Hospital") ### Clinic Expertise Experience matters. Doctors who do 500+ cycles yearly have better outcomes. Your clinic should be accredited (ICMR, FIGO), have modern technology, and tailor protocols to you—not use the same approach for everyone. ![Your Health](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDIiIGhlaWdodD0iNDAxIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAyIDQwMSI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Your Health - Saraogi Hospital") ### Your Health You control this more than you think. Weight loss (10-15% if overweight) improves outcomes. Stop smoking (it cuts success 30-40%). Fix thyroid issues (TSH should be under 2.0). Take prenatal vitamins. Sleep well. These changes improve results. ![Treatment Customization](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDIiIGhlaWdodD0iNDAxIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAyIDQwMSI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Treatment Customization - Saraogi Hospital") #### Treatment Customization One protocol doesn’t work for everyone. Your clinic should adjust based on how your body responds—not stick to a rigid template. This includes stimulation dose, trigger timing, and transfer day. ## Realistic Expectations: First Cycle vs. Cumulative Success Here’s what most couples don’t hear: Even with perfect age and health, first cycle success is around 40-50% for women under 35. Half of couples don’t get pregnant on the first try. This isn’t failure. It’s normal. Why does the first cycle fail sometimes? Embryo implantation is tricky. Timing between embryo and uterus isn’t always perfect. Some undetected immune factors may be at play. Issues only show up after the first cycle. But here’s the good news: After 3-4 cycles, cumulative success reaches 70-85% for women under 35. ### Cumulative Success (After 3 Cycles): #### Women under 30: 80-85% #### Women 30-35: 75-80% #### Women 35-40: 60-70% #### Women 40-45: 35-50% Your clinic learns your response pattern. Protocols improve. Issues get fixed. That’s why multiple cycles work better. Before starting, ask your clinic: “If the first cycle doesn’t work, what will you change?” A good clinic has an answer ready. ## How to Maximize Your IVF Success Chances Before going through IVF, give yourself 3 to 6 months to physically prepare your body. The first step would be getting your AMH, FSH, and thyroid levels checked, as well as your vitamin D level tested. Book an appointment for a uterine ultrasound and have your partner’s semen analyzed. Make necessary lifestyle changes: shedding some excess pounds, quitting smoking, dealing with the thyroid disorder, and getting prenatal vitamins with folate and CoQ10. These preliminaries are the basis of better results in the future. At the beginning of the process, pick a FIGO-accredited clinic with clear success rate disclosures and request protocols customized to your situation. Talk over genetic testing (PGS/PGD) with your doctor, especially if you are above 38 years of age or have experienced failure before. Throughout the treatment cycle, keep up with your healthy lifestyle, such as getting sufficient sleep of 7-9 hours, having moderate exercise, eating a [Mediterranean diet](https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/articles/16037-mediterranean-diet), as well as practicing yoga or undergoing counseling for stress management. You may even want to resort to the options that are at the tail-end of the technological advancement, like [frozen embryo transfer](https://saraogihospital.com/frozen-embryo-transfer-treatment-in-mumbai/) (which is usually associated with a better success rate) or getting ERA testing done for finding your most conducive implantation window. Such choices, plus having the right clinic assistance, go a long way in greatly elevating your probabilities. ### Conclusion [IVF success](https://drpratibhamittal.com/blogs/ivf-success-rates-by-age-what-the-numbers-actually-mean/) in 2026 will be influenced less by a womans age. It will largely depend on the factors that influence YOUR specific outcome. Age, choice of clinic, embryo quality, a healthy uterus, and personal group optimization are all important factors that determine the results. The great news: IVF success rates have been on the rise regularly. The overall success rate after the completion of 3 cycles is about 70-85% for women under 35. Even older women undergoing IVF can expect good cumulative outcomes if they remain patient and continue to optimize their situation. Even better news: A lot of elements are under your control. Pre-cycle improvements, selecting the right IVF center, customized treatments, and having realistic expectations can significantly enhance results.

IVF cycles cost ₹1.5-4 lakhs depending on clinic tier and services. Important: Higher cost does NOT guarantee higher success. Some mid-tier clinics outperform expensive ones. Ask what’s included: medications, ultrasounds, lab work, embryo grading, transfers. Cost should match your actual needs. ##### Should I freeze all embryos or do a fresh transfer? Frozen transfer allows better uterine preparation, avoiding OHSS risk—resulting in 5-10% better outcomes. Fresh transfer is appropriate only if excellent embryos develop quickly and conditions are optimal. Modern best practice often favors freeze-all with planned frozen transfer. Discuss with your clinic based on your specific findings. ##### If my first cycle fails, what's the next step? A: Don’t repeat cycle 1 unchanged. Your clinic should investigate: Blood hCG to confirm failure, uterine imaging (rules out polyps, adhesions, infection), sperm DNA fragmentation if male factor, immune testing if recurrent failure. Then adjust protocol: stimulation dose, trigger method, transfer day, or add genetic testing. ##### Is male factor as treatable as female factor? No. Female factor (age, ovarian reserve, uterine issues) has multiple solutions (IVF, freezing, egg donation). Male factor is harder—no way to significantly improve sperm production. ICSI and TESE help, but if severe, donor sperm may be necessary. Get male factor evaluated by an andrology specialist early. ##### Can I work during IVF? Yes. Injections are evening-based (home). Ultrasounds are 30-minute morning appointments. Egg retrieval needs 1-2 days recovery. Embryo transfer is non-invasive—no recovery. Most women work throughout. It’s feasible with flexible scheduling. ##### What about egg freezing? Should I consider it? Egg freezing preserves fertility. Success (live birth) per frozen egg is 5-10%. At 35, you’d need 10-15 eggs; at 40, you’d need 25-30 eggs. Cost: ₹1.5-2 lakhs for retrieval + ₹5,000-10,000 annual storage. Consider if not ready for children now but want biological children later, or facing cancer treatment. ##### Do I need immune testing? Immune factors may affect 10-15% of women with recurrent failure or miscarriage. Standard advice: Get tested only if you have 3+ failed transfers or recurrent miscarriage. Treatment is experimental and not universally endorsed. Discuss with your clinic if it applies to your situation. ##### Can I get pregnant naturally after failed IVF? IVF failure doesn’t mean infertility is “confirmed.” 5-15% of couples conceive naturally after failed IVF (depending on age and diagnosis). If you needed IVF for blocked tubes or severe male factor, natural conception is unlikely. If you chose IVF for unexplained infertility, natural conception remains possible. Discuss with your clinic. ##### Is there a "best" season for IVF? No. There’s no evidence that season affects IVF success. Myths about “summer being best” or “avoiding monsoon” have no scientific basis. Start when you’re ready medically, financially, and emotionally. **Categories:** Blog --- ### [IVF vs ICSI vs IMSI: Which Is Right?](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/ivf-vs-icsi-vs-imsi-which-is-right/) **Published:** April 25, 2026 **Author:** Dr. Mohit Saraogi **Content:** # IVF vs ICSI vs IMSI: Which Is Right? by [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/author/drmohitsaraogi/ "Posts by Dr. Mohit Saraogi") | Apr 25, 2026 ![IVF vs ICSI vs IMSI: Which Is Right?](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDgwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjY3NSIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDEwODAgNjc1Ij48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojY2ZkNGRiO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg==) IVF suits female-factor infertility with normal sperm, ICSI suits male-factor infertility or low fertilisation in previous IVF, and IMSI suits severe male-factor cases with poor sperm morphology or high DNA fragmentation. The core decision depends on semen quality and any past fertilisation history. According to[ Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/), an experienced IVF specialist at[ Saraogi Hospital](https://saraogihospital.com/), couples often shop between clinics for the “highest technology” option without understanding the clinical indication, “picking IMSI when you don’t need it won’t improve your odds, and picking regular IVF when you actually need ICSI can cost you a cycle. The treatment has to match the diagnosis, not the marketing.” Unsure which of the three fits your diagnosis best?

Parameter IVF ICSI IMSI Fertilisation method Sperm fertilises egg on its own in a culture dish One sperm injected directly into the egg Same as ICSI, with high-magnification sperm selection first Magnification used None 200x 6,000x to 10,000x Best suited for Female-factor infertility with normal sperm Male-factor infertility or previous low fertilisation Severe male-factor, high DNA fragmentation, recurrent ICSI failure Fertilisation rate 60 to 70 percent with normal sperm 70 to 80 percent across sperm profiles Similar to ICSI with better embryo quality in selected cases Cost range (India) ₹90,000 to ₹1,50,000 ₹1,20,000 to ₹2,00,000 ₹2,00,000 to ₹3,50,000 The instinct to pick the most expensive option almost never pays off in fertility treatment, and a proper[ infertility treatment](https://saraogihospital.com/infertility-treatment-mumbai/) workup lines the protocol up with the actual diagnosis rather than the price tag. ## How Do I Decide Which One Suits My Diagnosis? What most couples miss is that the choice between these three is a clinical one, decided off lab reports, previous cycle outcomes, and semen parameters, not whichever treatment sounds more advanced to the ear. - Semen: Men with sperm concentration below 15 million per ml, motility under 40 percent, or strict-criteria abnormal morphology above 96 percent are rarely good candidates for standard IVF, and[ ICSI treatment](https://saraogihospital.com/icsi-treatment-in-mumbai/) is where most of these couples eventually land as a first-line protocol. - Fertilisation: When a couple’s previous IVF cycle returned fertilisation rates under 30 percent despite a normal-looking semen report, the problem is rarely the lab environment itself, it’s the sperm-egg interaction, and the next cycle almost always moves to ICSI on that basis. - DNA damage: Sperm DNA fragmentation index crossing 30 percent, two or three early miscarriages in a row, or a couple of failed ICSI cycles with textbook embryos are the clinical triggers that push a treating team toward IMSI, which filters out sperm that standard ICSI would have passed as healthy. - Female factor: For tubal blockage, endometriosis, advanced maternal age with a healthy partner semen report, or plain unexplained infertility, standard IVF usually delivers results on par with [ICSI](https://matrikafertility.in/blogs/ivf-vs-icsi-vs-iui-which-fertility-treatment-is-right-for-you/), and spending on IMSI here just inflates the bill without adding any real clinical value. Protocol shifts between cycles aren’t unusual at all for the same couple, and this is also why post-transfer signals such as[ bleeding after IVF](https://saraogihospital.com/bleeding-after-positive-ivf-pregnancy-test/) get read so carefully alongside the semen report before the next plan is locked. ## Why Choose Saraogi Hospital? [Saraogi Hospital](https://saraogihospital.com/about/) runs a 40-year-old reproductive medicine unit under one roof, with in-house embryology handling standard IVF alongside ICSI and high-magnification IMSI, sperm DNA fragmentation testing built into the regular male-factor workup, andrology reviewed in parallel with every female-factor evaluation, and Dr. Mohit Saraogi along with Dr. Roopa Prasad leading a team that tends to match the protocol to the actual clinical picture rather than the one that looks most premium on paper, which is why couples already comparing IVF, ICSI, and IMSI across three or four clinics usually come here for a final clinical opinion before making the call. ## Frequently Asked Questions ##### What is the main difference between IVF and ICSI? IVF lets sperm fertilise the egg naturally in a dish, while ICSI injects one selected sperm directly into the egg. ##### When is IMSI preferred over ICSI? IMSI is preferred for severe male-factor infertility, high sperm DNA fragmentation, or two or more failed ICSI cycles. ##### Is ICSI always better than normal IVF? ICSI is only better when sperm quality is poor or fertilisation has previously been low, otherwise IVF works equally well. ##### Does IMSI guarantee a successful pregnancy? IMSI improves sperm selection accuracy but success still depends on embryo quality, uterine receptivity, and overall health. ## References: - National Institutes of Health —[ ICSI vs conventional IVF outcomes](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3299193/) - World Health Organization —[ Infertility overview](https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/infertility) **Categories:** Blog --- ### [How does PCOS affect your fertility?](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/how-does-pcos-affect-your-fertility/) **Published:** April 30, 2021 **Author:** Dr. Mohit Saraogi **Content:** # How does PCOS affect your fertility? by [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/author/drmohitsaraogi/ "Posts by Dr. Mohit Saraogi") | Apr 30, 2021 PCOS affects a large number of young women in Mumbai. The condition is caused by either their lifestyles or genetics. PCOS can cause problems in conceiving a baby. Hence, women seek treatment at a [fertility centre in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/) to fulfil their dream of becoming mothers. Let’s have an overview of PCOS and know how it can affect the ability of a woman to conceive. ## What exactly is PCOS? Polycystic ovary syndrome-[PCOS](https://www.nishawomenshospital.com/blog/pcos-no-period-for-1-year/) is an endocrine condition that affects women of reproductive age. In PCOS, women can have irregular menstrual cycles, abnormal hair growth, acne, and ovarian cysts. You may be wondering why this happens. - The cause of PCOS is unclear, although it is thought to result from various genetic and lifestyle reasons. - According to a report, women with PCOS are insulin resistant. Their ovaries produce too much testosterone due to too much insulin in their blood. - Irregular menstrual periods and unwanted hair growth are caused by excess testosterone. - PCOS may be caused by hormonal imbalances in other parts of the body in some women. - PCOS has some distinct effects, although the cause is unknown. - There is a considerable amount of increase in belly fat in PCOS women. Here’s a guide to how to get rid of PCOS belly[.](https://buzzinfomedia.com/how-to-get-rid-of-pcos-belly/) - Acne - Irregular menstrual cycles - Abnormal hair growth on the face and body - Abnormal periods - Increased hormone levels like testosterone affect egg production - Insulin resistance - Increases the risk of complications such as gestational diabetes - PCOS may not have a permanent cure, but it can be managed. Losing weight, for example, can help to alleviate symptoms and reduce PCOS. Using birth control and anti-androgen medications can also help with PCOS symptoms. - If a woman has trouble conceiving, the first step of PCOS treatment is lifestyle modification, including eating a healthier diet and exercising regularly. - The most effective PCOS diet is one with fewer carbohydrates and a lower glycemic load. - The woman should also do easy exercise three days a week for at least 30 minutes. - If infrequent ovulation persists even after lifestyle changes, the woman may need fertility medications, including selective estrogen receptor modulator drugs. - The woman will require fertility injections to release an egg if fertility drugs do not help with ovulation or pregnancy. Fertility injections use the same hormone that the brain sends to the ovary to stimulate it to produce eggs. - With transvaginal ultrasounds and blood samples, the fertility specialist will monitor the ovulation. It will assist the doctor in keeping track of the estradiol levels (a hormone secreted in the ovary). - If neither of the above treatments is effective, the woman may require in vitro fertilization (IVF) to have a stable pregnancy. ## IVF treatment for PCOS - In [IVF](https://saraogihospital.com/infertility-treatment-mumbai/), the woman will receive regular fertility injections to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs. - The doctor will perform a simple procedure to extract the woman’s eggs. Egg fertilization takes place in a lab after the extraction. - The embryo (fertilized egg) will then be transferred into the uterus by the IVF doctor. - The woman may also choose to freeze ([cryopreservation](https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/medicine-and-dentistry/embryo-cryopreservation)) the embryos for later use. ## How can you know if you are at risk for PCOS? - Your doctor will be able to tell you whether you have PCOS. They will start by inquiring about your medical records and conducting a physical examination. - Blood samples are also used to monitor the hormone levels in the blood. They would also suggest an ultrasound to look for cysts in your ovaries. - You need not be concerned if you have PCOS. PCOS is a manageable condition, and most women who have it can have a stable pregnancy. - Visit a [fertility doctor in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/). They will assist you in determining the most appropriate PCOS treatment. **Categories:** Blog --- ### [Is Egg Donation Painful?](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/is-egg-donation-painful/) **Published:** September 18, 2024 **Author:** Dr. Mohit Saraogi **Content:** # Is Egg Donation Painful? by [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/author/drmohitsaraogi/ "Posts by Dr. Mohit Saraogi") | Sep 18, 2024 ![Is Egg Donation Painful](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDgwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjY3NSIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDEwODAgNjc1Ij48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojY2ZkNGRiO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg==) Egg donation is a process in which a woman donates her eggs to help another woman conceive, offering hope to those struggling with infertility. This involves medical procedures and hormonal treatments to ensure the eggs are mature and ready for retrieval. The healthy donor eggs are fertilized with sperm in an IVF lab to create embryos. Then, the fertilized egg (embryo) is transferred to the recipient’s uterus to achieve pregnancy. However, a common question among potential donors is, “Is egg donation painful?” According to Dr. Mohit Saraogi from Saraogi Hospital, an esteemed [IVF Centre in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/), “While egg donation involves certain steps that might cause discomfort, advancements in technology and medication ensure pain is minimal and manageable.” Dr Mohit Saraogi is a highly regarded [IVF doctor in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/), possessing years of experience in [fertility treatments](https://saraogihospital.com/infertility-treatment-mumbai/). With extensive expertise and a compassionate approach, he ensures every egg donation process is handled with the utmost care and professionalism.[](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) Interested in learning more about egg donation? Consult a seasoned specialist for expert insights and guidance. [Book an appointment now.](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) What does the egg donation procedure involve? Let’s break it down step by step. ## The Egg Donation Process [Egg donation](https://saraogihospital.com/egg-donor-treatment-in-mumbai/) is a multi-step procedure that involves careful planning and medical intervention: 1. **Initial Consultation and Screening:** The process starts with an initial consultation, during which the donor undergoes thorough medical and psychological screening. This ensures the donor is healthy and suitable for the procedure. 2. **[Ovarian Stimulation](https://saraogihospital.com/ovarian-stimulation-what-one-should-know/):** Once deemed suitable, the donor receives hormone injections to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs. This phase typically lasts about 10-14 days. During this period, the medical team closely monitors the donor’s response through blood tests and ultrasounds. ![The Egg Donation Process](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MTIiIGhlaWdodD0iNjEyIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjEyIDYxMiI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "The Egg Donation Process - Saraogi Hospital") 3. **Egg Retrieval**: ![Egg Retrieval](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI0MzQiIGhlaWdodD0iMzIwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNDM0IDMyMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Egg Retrieval - Saraogi Hospital")Once the eggs are mature, the IVF specialist retrieves them through transvaginal ultrasound aspiration, a minor surgical procedure. This is performed under sedation, ensuring the donor is comfortable and pain-free. 4. **Post-Retrieval**: After the eggs are retrieved, the donor is monitored for a few hours to ensure there are no immediate complications. Concerned about the pain involved in egg retrieval? Here’s how it’s managed. ## Pain Management Techniques Advanced egg donation techniques have significantly reduced the pain involved in the process. Here are some effective pain management methods to ensure donors remain comfortable: 1. **Sedation During Retrieval:** The egg retrieval procedure is performed under sedation so the donor is asleep and feels no pain. 2. **Hormonal Medication Support:** Hormonal injections can cause bloating or discomfort, but these symptoms are generally mild and temporary. Doctors often prescribe pain relief if needed. 3. **Post-Retrieval Care:** After the procedure, most donors experience only mild [cramping](https://saraogihospital.com/abdominal-pain-after-egg-retrieval/), similar to menstrual cramps. OTC pain relief is typically sufficient to manage this discomfort. 4. **Rest and Recovery:** After the egg retrieval, donors should rest for the remainder of the day. Most discomfort should subside within 24-48 hours. ![Rest and Recovery](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI0ODgiIGhlaWdodD0iMzIzIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNDg4IDMyMyI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Rest and Recovery - Saraogi Hospital") 5. **Heating Pads:** Applying a heating pad to the lower abdomen can alleviate any cramping or bloating. 6. **Hydration:** Staying hydrated helps reduce bloating and discomfort after the egg retrieval. Have you heard conflicting information about egg donation? Let’s clear up some common myths. ## Common Myths and Misconceptions ![Common Myths and Misconceptions](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI0ODgiIGhlaWdodD0iMjk4IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNDg4IDI5OCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Common Myths and Misconceptions - Saraogi Hospital") There are several myths and misconceptions surrounding egg donation, particularly regarding pain and long-term health impacts. Here are some common ones: **Myth#1: Egg donation is extremely painful.** **Fact:** While mild discomfort may exist, advanced medical techniques make the procedure manageable and relatively pain-free. **Myth#2: Egg donation causes infertility in donors.** **Fact:** Egg donation does not affect long-term fertility. Donors are carefully monitored to ensure their health. **Myth#3: Egg donation requires major surgery.** **Fact:** The egg retrieval process is minimally invasive, typically performed under sedation or anaesthesia. **Myth#4: Egg donors lose all their eggs in the process.** **Fact:** Only a small percentage of a woman’s eggs are retrieved, leaving her with most of her [egg reserve](https://saraogihospital.com/what-is-low-ovarian-reserve-and-ways-to-treat-it/) intact. **Myth#5: Egg donation is only for women who no longer want children.** **Fact:** Women can donate eggs and still have their children in the future, as egg donation does not impact their reproductive potential. Don’t let myths hold you back. Speak with a professional to know the facts. [Schedule an appointment now!](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) What happens after the egg retrieval? Let’s look at the recovery process. ## Post-Procedure Recovery After the egg donation procedure, recovery is typically quick and smooth. Here’s what to expect:- **Immediate Aftercare:** Donors are monitored for a short period after the retrieval process to ensure they are stable and comfortable. Any side effects, such as mild cramping, are addressed with appropriate care. - **Return to Normal Activity**: Depending on their recovery speed, most donors can resume their normal activities within 24-48 hours post-procedure. - **Follow-up Care**: Donors have a follow-up consultation to ensure they are recovering well. During this visit, any concerns about pain or discomfort can be addressed. - **Long-Term Health**: When done under professional supervision, egg donation does not have long-term adverse health effects. Overall, the recovery process is straightforward, with minimal disruption to the donor’s routine. Still wondering if egg donation is worth the effort? Let’s explore. ## Is Egg Donation Worth It? ![Is Egg Donation Worth It](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNDAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDQwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Is Egg Donation Worth It - Saraogi Hospital") Egg donation is a generous act that can change lives. While there is some discomfort, the rewards are significant. Donors have the unique opportunity to help couples struggling with infertility, allowing them to build families they otherwise may not be able to. The sense of fulfilment that comes from knowing you’ve contributed to someone’s dream of parenthood can make the process extremely worthwhile for those who choose to donate. From a financial perspective, [egg donation](https://nishaivf.com/blog/egg-donor-ivf-all-you-need-to-know/) can offer compensation that covers both the time and effort involved. Many IVF centres in Mumbai provide attractive compensation packages that can benefit donors. This financial reward, coupled with the knowledge that you’re helping others, makes the experience valuable for many women. However, it is essential to consider the physical and emotional aspects of egg donation. Although the procedure is safe and typically involves minimal pain, it requires time and commitment. For those who are comfortable with these factors and feel a strong desire to help others, egg donation can be a truly meaningful and worthwhile endeavour. Are you considering egg donation?

Eligibility is limited to married Indian couples, NRIs, OCI cardholders, and single women who are widows or divorcees aged 35 to 45. The process needs District Medical Board certification, a registered surrogacy clinic, and a court-backed parentage order. According to[ Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/), an experienced IVF specialist at[ Saraogi Hospital](https://saraogihospital.com/), most intending parents still rely on outdated 2015 information, “the landscape has shifted completely. Post-2021 the framework is altruistic-only, and the February 2024 rule on donor gametes is what actually decides whether many couples qualify today.” Unsure if you qualify under the 2026 framework? [Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## Who Is Legally Eligible for Surrogacy in India in 2026? Not everyone can walk into a surrogacy clinic and start the process. The 2021 Act plus the 2024 rules set a short list of who qualifies, and one rejected document closes the door on the entire file. - Couples: Married Indian heterosexual couples only. Husband between 26 and 55, wife between 25 and 50, five years of marriage minimum, and proven medical infertility on record. NRIs and OCI holders are in. Foreigners are out. - Singles: Single woman applicants have to be Indian widows or divorcees, aged 35 to 45. That’s the only single-parent door open. Single men, live-in couples, same-sex couples, still not permitted under the law in 2026. - Medical proof: A District Medical Board has to sign off that the intending woman cannot carry a pregnancy for a real biological or medical reason. Not wanting to be pregnant isn’t a reason. Every case is reviewed on paperwork, not personal preference. - Donor gametes: Under the Feb 2024 amendment, one donor gamete (egg or sperm) is now allowed if the District Medical Board certifies a qualifying condition in the husband or wife. One gamete still has to come from the couple themselves. That part hasn’t been relaxed. Clearing eligibility is only half the battle. The actual filing starts inside a registered[ surrogacy centre](https://saraogihospital.com/surrogacy-in-mumbai/) that holds a valid state licence under the 2021 Act. ## What Is the Step-by-Step Legal Surrogacy Process in India? The legal process follows a fixed order under the 2021 Act. Each stage has its own paperwork, and the parentage order at birth depends on every earlier step being cleared properly. - Registration: Start with a clinic registered under the National Assisted Reproductive Technology and Surrogacy Board. The clinic checks every paper first, marriage certificate, medical reports, age proofs, ID documents, before any treatment step is allowed to start. - Board certification: A District Medical Board certificate for medical necessity is compulsory. Then the Appropriate Authority issues a separate Essentiality Certificate once the couple is cleared. Without both, the surrogate’s pregnancy has no legal standing at all. - Surrogate selection: The surrogate has to be a willing married woman, aged 25 to 35, with her own biological child, and she can act as a surrogate only once in her life. A 36-month post-delivery insurance cover is legally required, paid by the intending couple. - Court-backed parentage: After the baby is born, the surrogate legally gives up the child, and parentage shifts to the intending couple through documents filed under the[ surrogacy in India](https://saraogihospital.com/surrogacy-in-india/) framework. Payments are capped at insurance, medical care, and essential expenses. Nothing above that. Couples planning for twins also face added cost layers, all broken down in the[ surrogacy cost for twins](https://saraogihospital.com/surrogacy-cost-for-twins-what-influences-the-final-price/) guide. ## Why Choose Saraogi Hospital? [Saraogi Hospital](https://saraogihospital.com/about/) is a fully compliant surrogacy and IVF centre working under the 2021 Act and its 2024 amendment rules, backed by 40+ years of reproductive medicine, led by Dr. Mohit Saraogi and Dr. Roopa Prasad, with in-house legal coordination for District Medical Board certification, Essentiality Certificate filing, surrogate insurance, and parentage paperwork, which is why intending couples across India and NRI families keep choosing the hospital for a surrogacy journey that stays inside the 2026 framework from day one. ## Frequently Asked Questions ##### Is commercial surrogacy legal in India in 2026? No. Only altruistic surrogacy is allowed. Commercial surrogacy carries up to 10 years in prison. ##### Can foreigners do surrogacy in India in 2026? No. Only Indian citizens, NRIs, and OCI cardholders qualify. Foreigners are fully excluded. ##### Can donor eggs or sperm be used for surrogacy in 2026? Yes. Under the Feb 2024 amendment, if the District Medical Board certifies a qualifying medical condition. ##### Can single women or same-sex couples opt for surrogacy in India? Only single women who are Indian widows or divorcees, aged 35 to 45. Same-sex couples are not permitted. ## References: - Ministry of Health and Family Welfare —[ Surrogacy (Regulation) Amendment Rules, 2024](https://www.mohfw.gov.in/) - National Institutes of Health —[ Surrogacy Regulation Act 2021 analysis](https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10199460/) **Categories:** Blog --- ### [How to Improve Egg Quality Before IVF in 30 Days?](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/how-to-improve-egg-quality-before-ivf-in-30-days/) **Published:** May 28, 2026 **Author:** Dr. Mohit Saraogi **Content:** # How to Improve Egg Quality Before IVF in 30 Days? by [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/author/drmohitsaraogi/ "Posts by Dr. Mohit Saraogi") | May 28, 2026 ![How to Improve Egg Quality Before IVF in 30 Days](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDgwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjY3NSIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDEwODAgNjc1Ij48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojY2ZkNGRiO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg==) Full egg maturation takes 90 to 120 days but the last 30 before retrieval are the ones that actually move the needle. Focused nutrition, the right supplements, cutting out toxins and managing stress directly affect the eggs your doctor retrieves on cycle day and that’s where real preparation happens. According to Dr. Mohit Saraogi, a leading[ ivf doctor in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/) at Saraogi Hospital, “The 30 days before egg retrieval matter more than most women realise, because that window is when targeted nutrition and lifestyle changes can genuinely shift the quality of eggs we work with.” Boost your IVF chances—speak to a fertility expert today. [Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## What Nutrients and Supplements Actually Help Egg Quality? Not everything sold in a fertility supplement aisle belongs there. A few things genuinely move outcomes, and the rest is mostly marketing dressed in clinical language. - CoQ10: Egg cells are metabolically expensive to run, and mitochondrial function is what drives that energy. Women over 35 and low-reserve patients who start 200 to 600mg daily around 6 weeks before retrieval tend to show noticeably better stimulation response, which is why most fertility specialists now include it by default. - Methylfolate: Folic acid is the form most prenatal supplements use. But your body has to convert it first, and women with MTHFR gene variants often can’t do that conversion efficiently. Switching to methylfolate, the active form, bypasses that problem entirely and ensures the nutrient actually reaches where it’s needed. - DHEA: This one isn’t for everyone. For patients with poor ovarian reserve specifically, 25 to 75mg daily under medical supervision for 8 to 12 weeks has shown real improvements in antral follicle counts and embryo grading. Outside that group the benefit is unclear, so it shouldn’t be self-prescribed. - Vitamin D: Deficiency is far more common in Indian women than routine checkups catch, and the link to lower fertilisation rates is well-documented. A blood test before your cycle costs very little and can identify a gap that’s been quietly affecting your fertility for months. Getting an[ IVF treatment consultation](https://saraogihospital.com/ivf-centre-in-andheri-mumbai/) before starting any supplement means the stack gets built around your actual results, not a standard list. ## What Lifestyle Changes Make a Real Difference in 30 Days? Supplements address specific deficiencies. But the follicular environment, temperature, oxygen levels, hormonal signalling, is shaped by daily habits in ways that no tablet replaces. - Sleep depth: It’s not just hours, it’s the quality of those hours. Deep sleep is when growth hormone releases and cellular repair peaks, and women who consistently sleep under 7 hours show elevated oxidative stress markers in follicular fluid. That’s the fluid your eggs are developing inside. It shows up in embryo grades. - Heat exposure: Most patients don’t think about this one. Hot baths, saunas, heating pads on the lower abdomen, a laptop on your lap for extended periods, all of these raise local pelvic temperature around active follicles. Avoiding them for the four weeks before retrieval has a real biological basis and requires no medication. - Protein across meals: Follicles need amino acids to build the cellular architecture around developing eggs. One large protein serving a day doesn’t distribute that supply consistently. Spreading 20 to 30g across meals from eggs, lentils, or paneer does, and without the low-grade inflammation that processed protein sources tend to introduce over time. - Cortisol: Chronic stress suppresses LH and FSH directly. That’s not a wellness claim, it’s established reproductive endocrinology. A structured 20-minute walk or daily breathing practice has shown measurable cortisol reduction within two weeks in multiple studies, which is why fertility specialists now mention it in the same breath as supplements. Our earlier post on[ Surrogacy vs IVF With Donor Eggs](https://saraogihospital.com/surrogacy-vs-ivf-with-donor-eggs/) covers related treatment options worth reading before your first consultation. ## Why Choose Saraogi Hospital? [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/) has 13 years across gynaecology, obstetrics, and clinical embryology. Over 18,000 patients treated at IRIS IVF Centre, a success rate above 70% for women under 35, and a specific track record with low-reserve cases where pre-cycle preparation made the difference between a failed cycle and a viable embryo. What patients consistently mention is that the plan here isn’t generic. Bloodwork drives it. Age, protocol timing, and the specific gaps in each patient’s results shape what gets recommended, so by retrieval day the preparation has been targeted, not just thorough. Consult a fertility specialist for personalised pre-IVF guidance. [Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## Frequently Asked Questions ##### Can egg quality improve in just 30 days? Targeted nutrition and supplementation in 30 days can measurably improve egg cell mitochondrial function before retrieval. ##### Which supplement improves egg quality fastest before IVF? CoQ10 and methylfolate have the strongest evidence, ideally started 6 to 8 weeks before retrieval. ##### Does diet really affect egg quality before IVF? High-protein, antioxidant-rich diets reduce oxidative stress in follicles and improve embryo grading outcomes. ##### Is DHEA safe to take before IVF? DHEA is safe under medical supervision, typically 25 to 75mg daily for low-reserve patients only. ## References: - CoQ10 and Egg Quality in IVF —[ NIH / PubMed](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30322142/) - DHEA Supplementation and IVF Outcomes in Diminished Ovarian Reserve —[ NIH / PubMed](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31303658/) ### Submit a Comment [Cancel reply](/blogs/how-to-improve-egg-quality-before-ivf-in-30-days/?aioseo_llms_generation=1#respond) Your email address will not be published.

According to Dr. Mohit Saraogi, a leading[ ivf doctor in mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/) at Saraogi Hospital, “AMH without an age reference is a number without a story, because a result that looks reassuring at 28 can mean something very different for a woman who is 39.” Know what your AMH level means for IVF—book a fertility consultation today. [Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## What Does a Normal AMH Level Look Like at Each Age? Most patients Google their AMH result and compare it to a single universal range. That’s the wrong approach. Here’s what the numbers actually mean when age is factored in. - Under 25: Peak reserve years. AMH typically sits between 3.0 and 6.8 ng/mL, and anything above that upper limit needs a closer look for PCOS rather than being treated as a straightforwardly good sign. - Ages 25 to 30: Expected range is 2.5 to 5.0 ng/mL. Most women here respond predictably to standard stimulation and don’t need protocol modification, which is why fertility specialists often describe this window as the most straightforward to work with. - Ages 31 to 35: Normal sits between 1.5 and 3.5 ng/mL but decline starts accelerating for some women in this group, and the difference between a result at 31 and one at 35 can be significant enough that waiting even a year before testing changes what you’re working with. - Ages 36 to 40: Range drops to 0.5 to 2.5 ng/mL. Results at the lower end don’t close the door on IVF but they do change how stimulation gets approached, what retrieval targets look realistic and how the overall cycle plan gets structured around what your ovaries can actually deliver. If your number sits outside these ranges for your age, an[ infertility teratment](https://saraogihospital.com/infertility-treatment-mumbai/) with antral follicle count and full hormonal panel gives a far more complete picture than AMH alone. ## What Happens When Your AMH Is Low for Your Age? Low AMH relative to your age group changes the plan. It doesn’t end it. But the clinical response depends on factors that go well beyond the number on your report. - Stimulation approach: Higher gonadotropin doses and closer monitoring become the norm for low-AMH patients, and the goal isn’t maximum egg numbers anymore. It shifts to retrieving the best quality eggs your ovaries can produce within a protocol that doesn’t push a limited reserve harder than it can handle. - Mild stimulation: For women significantly below the age-expected range, lower medication doses over a longer cycle window sometimes produce fewer but better-graded embryos. Aggressive stimulation on a depleted reserve often retrieves more eggs that are poorer quality, which isn’t the trade-off most patients expect. - Banking across cycles: When AMH is low but age is still on your side, accumulating embryos across two or three retrieval cycles before any transfer can build a viable pool without the pressure of a single attempt having to deliver everything. - Donor egg pathway: Women over 40 with AMH below 0.3 ng/mL will sometimes be counselled toward donor eggs, but that conversation never happens on AMH alone. Antral follicle count, previous stimulation response and what the patient actually wants all shape where that discussion goes. Our earlier blog on[ improving egg quality before IVF](https://saraogihospital.com/how-to-improve-egg-quality-before-ivf-in-30-days/) covers what you can do in the weeks before retrieval to make the most of the reserve you have. ## Why Choose Saraogi Hospital?

What patients consistently mention is that their AMH result doesn’t arrive with a generic prognosis attached.

That review typically looks at medication protocol, embryo transfer timing and whether diagnostic testing like ERA, hysteroscopy or immunological workup belongs in the next cycle. According to Dr. Mohit Saraogi, a leading[ ivf doctor in mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/) at Saraogi Hospital, “A failed transfer is diagnostic information as much as it is a disappointment, because what we learn from it shapes the next cycle in ways the first one couldn’t.” A failed embryo transfer doesn’t mean the end of your IVF journey. Consult a fertility specialist to identify the cause and plan your next steps with confidence. [Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## Why Do Embryo Transfers Fail Even With Good Embryos? A good-grade embryo doesn’t guarantee implantation. Most patients find that out the hard way. When quality isn’t the problem, the investigation has to look elsewhere. - Uterine lining: Below 7mm endometrial thickness is a red flag, but lining pattern matters just as much. Submucosal fibroids, polyps and scarring from previous procedures are all things a standard scan can miss entirely, and they sit quietly in the uterus failing transfers until someone looks properly. - Chromosomal issues: Visual embryo grading tells you about cell division and fragmentation. It tells you nothing about chromosomal status. An embryo that grades 4AA can still carry an abnormality that makes implantation biologically impossible, and without PGT-A that information simply isn’t available before the transfer. - Immune factors: Elevated NK cells, antiphospholipid syndrome, thrombophilia. These aren’t rare. They’re underdiagnosed. A uterus that looks structurally normal on ultrasound can still mount an immune response that blocks implantation, and most patients haven’t been tested for any of these after a first failure. - Timing: The receptivity window is genuinely narrow. A 12 to 24-hour shift from peak receptivity changes outcomes in a subset of patients, and the only way to know if timing is your issue is an ERA test, not a repeat transfer on the same protocol that already failed. A full case review through an[ IVF treatment consultation](https://saraogihospital.com/ivf-centre-in-andheri-mumbai/) is where this investigation actually starts. ## What Should Actually Happen Before Your Next Transfer? Booking another transfer without changing anything is how one failure becomes three. The tests below aren’t optional extras. For specific patients they’re the difference between another negative and a pregnancy. - ERA test: About 25 percent of women who’ve had repeated failed transfers with good embryos have a displaced implantation window. ERA identifies your personal peak receptivity timing through endometrial gene expression analysis, and for that 25 percent it shifts the transfer timing by a full day or more, which is enough to change everything. - Hysteroscopy: Ultrasound misses things. A direct camera inside the uterine cavity finds polyps, adhesions and septums that imaging doesn’t capture, and treating these before the next transfer removes a structural problem that no medication adjustment can work around. - Immune and clotting screen: NK cell testing, antiphospholipid antibodies, thrombophilia panel. These tests come after a first failure for most patients, not before. Identifying a clotting or immune issue opens treatment options including intralipid infusions, low-dose aspirin and progesterone directly address the cause. - PGT-A discussion: If the previous cycle didn’t include chromosomal testing, transferring another untested embryo into a now-investigated uterus solves half the equation and ignores the other half. The conversation about PGT-A belongs here, not after a second failure. Our earlier blog on[ PGT-A testing in India](https://saraogihospital.com/pgt-a-testing-india-cost-when-to-do-it-is-it-worth/) covers when chromosomal screening is actually worth adding to your cycle. ## Why Choose Saraogi Hospital? [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/) has 13 years across gynaecology, obstetrics and clinical embryology. More than 18,000 patients at IRIS IVF Centre, a success rate above 70% for women under 35, and a specific track record with repeated implantation failure where post-failure protocol revision changed outcomes for patients who’d already been told they were running out of options. What patients consistently mention is that a failed cycle doesn’t trigger an automatic repeat booking here. Every variable from the previous transfer gets pulled apart first. Lining, timing, chromosomal status, immune markers. The next cycle gets built around what that review finds. Ready to move forward after a failed embryo transfer?

[Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## Frequently Asked Questions ##### How soon can I try IVF again after a failed embryo transfer? Most doctors recommend waiting one full menstrual cycle before attempting another transfer. ##### Is a second IVF transfer more likely to succeed after one failure? Cumulative success rates improve with each euploid embryo transferred, even after an initial failure. ##### What tests should I do after a failed embryo transfer? ERA test, hysteroscopy, immunological workup and PGT-A review are the most clinically relevant next steps. ##### Does a failed transfer mean my embryos were poor quality? Not necessarily. Uterine, immune and timing factors fail transfers with good-quality embryos regularly. ## References: - Recurrent Implantation Failure: Definition and Management —[ NIH / PubMed](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24269084/) - Endometrial Receptivity Array in Embryo Transfer: Advancements and Clinical Outcomes —[ NIH / PMC](https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11424594/) ### Submit a Comment [Cancel reply](/blogs/failed-embryo-transfer-what-are-the-next-steps/?aioseo_llms_generation=1#respond) Your email address will not be published.

It identifies embryos with the correct chromosome count, cutting miscarriage risk and failed transfers in specific patient groups. Not everyone needs it. But for those who do, skipping it is a costly mistake. According to Dr. Mohit Saraogi, a leading[ ivf doctor in mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/) at Saraogi Hospital, “PGT-A doesn’t improve the embryo, it tells you which embryo gives your transfer the best realistic chance, and for patients with repeated failures that distinction matters enormously.” Wondering if PGT-A testing is right for your IVF journey? Consult a fertility expert to make an informed decision and improve your chances of success. [Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## Who Actually Benefits From PGT-A Testing? This is the question most patients don’t ask clearly enough before agreeing to the test. The answer isn’t everyone, and the cases where it genuinely shifts outcomes are more specific than most clinics make it sound. - Recurrent miscarriage: Two or more consecutive losses put chromosomal abnormality high on the list of probable causes. Transferring a tested euploid embryo removes that variable entirely, and for women who’ve been through multiple losses the psychological value of that clarity is almost as significant as the clinical one. - Repeated implantation failure: Good embryos not sticking despite a normal uterus and good lining is one of the more frustrating IVF scenarios. Chromosomal issues in the embryo itself are often the silent reason,and PGT-A identifies that before the next cycle begins rather than after it fails. - Age over 37: Chromosomal error rates in embryos rise sharply here. Women over 40 can have abnormality rates above 70% even in embryos that grade well visually. The microscope stops being a reliable selection tool at this age. PGT-A fills that gap. - Chromosomal carrier: If either partner carries a translocation or structural rearrangement, PGT-A combined with PGT-SR identifies unaffected embryos before transfer. This isn’t about IVF success rates alone, it’s about not passing a condition to the next generation. If any of these apply to your history, discussing it during an[ IVF treatment consultation](https://saraogihospital.com/ivf-centre-in-andheri-mumbai/) is worth doing before your next cycle gets planned. ## What Does PGT-A Cost in India and Is the Number Worth It? Most patients ask about the cost last. They probably should ask earlier, because the real calculation here isn’t what PGT-A costs.It’s what another failed transfer costs. - Typical range: Expect Rs 30,000 to Rs 80,000 per embryo depending on the lab, the number of embryos being tested and whether NGS or array CGH is being used. Total add-on cost for most patients lands between Rs 1.5 to 3 lakh across a cycle. - The real comparison: Stack PGT-A cost against a failed transfer, a frozen cycle prep, a repeat retrieval and the emotional weight of another negative result. For high-risk patients that reframe changes the calculation significantly, and most who’ve been through repeated failure don’t need much convincing. - When to skip it: Under 35, normal chromosomes, decent embryo numbers and no failure history. PGT-A adds cost without meaningfully improving cumulative success in this group. Most honest fertility specialists won’t push it without a clear indication. - Lab quality: Biopsy technique and the genetics lab behind it matter as much as the test itself. A poorly done biopsy damages viable embryos. A weak lab produces misdiagnosis. The clinic’s embryology setup and lab partnerships aren’t a footnote here, they’re the deciding factor in whether PGT-A results are actually trustworthy. Our earlier blog on[ AMH level chart by age](https://saraogihospital.com/amh-level-chart-by-age-normal-for-ivf-2026/) explains how ovarian reserve connects to embryo numbers and why that affects whether PGT-A is even a practical option for your cycle. ## Why Choose Saraogi Hospital?

PGT-A screens embryos for chromosomal abnormalities before transfer to reduce miscarriage and failed implantation risk. ##### Who needs PGT-A before IVF embryo transfer? Women over 37, recurrent miscarriage patients and those with repeated implantation failure benefit most from PGT-A. ##### Does PGT-A guarantee a successful IVF transfer? No. It improves embryo selection accuracy but doesn’t guarantee implantation or pregnancy ##### How many embryos are needed to make PGT-A worthwhile?

A range of 1.0 to 3.5 ng/mL is where most doctors prefer to work but plenty of successful cycles happen well below that. AMH only tells you about egg numbers, not quality, and those two things are very different when it comes to outcomes.According to Dr. Mohit Saraogi, a leading[ ivf doctor in mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/) at Saraogi Hospital, “AMH is one of the most misread fertility markers I see, because a low number doesn’t mean IVF won’t work, it means we need a smarter stimulation plan.” Low AMH? Explore your IVF options with a fertility expert today. [Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## What AMH Range Actually Works for IVF? Most patients come in having Googled their AMH result and already convinced themselves of something. Here’s what the numbers actually mean in a clinical setting.- Sweet spot: AMH between 1.0 and 3.5 ng/mL means your ovarian reserve looks good, and your body will likely respond to standard stimulation without needing your doctor to improvise mid-cycle. - Lower end: Anything between 0.5 and 1.0 ng/mL still works for IVF, but expect higher gonadotropin doses and more ultrasound monitoring than a typical cycle would need. - Very low: Below 0.5 ng/mL is where conversations shift, sometimes toward mini-IVF, sometimes toward egg banking across multiple cycles, and occasionally toward donor eggs depending on age and other markers. - Too high: AMH above 3.5 ng/mL isn’t automatically good news either, since high numbers often point to PCOS and a real risk of ovarian hyperstimulation if stimulation isn’t handled carefully. An[ infertility treatment ](https://saraogihospital.com/infertility-treatment-mumbai/)gives you the full picture before any of these decisions get made. ## Does Low AMH Actually Stop You From Doing IVF? Low AMH changes the plan,not the possibility Doctors have been working around poor ovarian reserve for years and the protocols have only gotten better Here’s what actually matters.- Age beats AMH: A 31-year-old with AMH of 0.4 ng/mL will often outperform a 42-year-old with AMH of 1.5, because egg quality drops with age in a way that no stimulation protocol can fully fix. - AFC adds context: Antral follicle count from an ultrasound directly counts visible follicles, and doctors use it alongside AMH because the two don’t always agree, and a single number rarely tells the whole story. - Mild stimulation: Low AMH cases sometimes do better with a gentler approach, fewer medications, longer cycle windows, fewer eggs retrieved but often better quality ones compared to aggressive stimulation. - Test again: AMH fluctuates between cycles and between labs more than most patients realise, so one low reading shouldn’t close any doors without a repeat test and a proper clinical discussion first. Our earlier post on[ IVF treatment in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/ivf-centre-in-andheri-mumbai/) covers how these protocol calls get made for different patient profiles. ## Why Choose Saraogi Hospital?

Low-reserve cases aren’t an exception here; they’re a regular part of the work, and protocol decisions are built around the individual, not a textbook average.What patients consistently mention is that results don’t get handed over without explanation. A low AMH number gets context, a plan, and an honest conversation about what it means for that specific cycle, not a generic outlook. Get your AMH assessed and take the next step toward parenthood.

AMH below 0.5 ng/mL can still proceed with an adjusted protocol. ##### Does low AMH mean IVF will definitely fail? Not at all. Age, egg quality, and antral follicle count matter more than AMH alone. ##### How is AMH tested? A single blood draw on any cycle day measures your AMH level accurately. ##### Can anything improve AMH before starting IVF? AMH doesn’t rise significantly, but DHEA and CoQ10 supplements may improve ovarian response. ## References: - AMH and Ovarian Reserve: Update on Assessing Ovarian Function —[ NIH / PubMed](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24821925/) - AMH and Ovarian Reserve: Assessing Ovarian Function —[ NIH / PMC](https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7486884/) ### Submit a Comment [Cancel reply](/blogs/what-should-amh-be-to-start-ivf/?aioseo_llms_generation=1#respond) Your email address will not be published.

A lot has changed over the last 35 years including a number of facelifts the hospital has undergone.(the most recent one just got completed). However the founding primary objective still remains unchanged and forms the driving force of our present day work methodology. In keeping with rapidly progressing medical science the hospital has also seen a rapid & consistent expansion in its scope of services. We have always strived to keep up with the latest developments in gynaecology & obstetrics and tried make it available to our patients at the same time as the rest of the world. We can proudly say that a lot of pioneering surgeries were first performed in our establishment. We were doing endoscopy & minimally invasive surgery when the science was an upcoming thing. Today we have a full time in house endoscopic surgeon ( Dr. Roopa Saraogi ) to take on that dimension of gynaecology further. We were amidst the first few centres to perform thermal balloon ablation procedure for our patients as far back as 2007 and our director Professor. Dr. R.M. Saraogi holds the distinguished honor of having devised a low cost surgery for the treatment of [Stress Urinary incontinence](https://medlineplus.gov/ency/article/000891.htm) for which he has received the prestigious Fogsi Corion Award. Today we can proudly stand tall and claim that our [IVF centre in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/) is perhaps one of the best centres of excellence in the suburbs and and that our panel of doctors boasts of not only the best gynaecologists in Malad West/ best gynaecologists in Andheri but also probably the best Gynaecologists in Mumbai. Each of our gynaecologists has a distinguished record & most of them are gold medallists. Our scope of services include all gynaecological and obstetric procedures which can be perfomed either laparoscopically (gynaecological surgeries ) or as open procedures in addition to abortion , endoscopy and infertility services. We offer variety of IVF packages that are customized for our patients, like no other centre. We provide the most reasonable [IVF cost in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/ivf-cost-in-mumbai/), so that we can serve more and more people who can adopt this technique to attain parenthood. We have an in house state of the art ultrasound machine which is used for follicular monitorings ( in infertility treatment ) and gynaecological sonographies. To tackle the growing menace of infertility, we will shortly ( October 2015) be starting with our own in house andrology lab for semen processing for IUI & our own IVF centre as well.

This is a complicated process that needs to be supervised by professional doctors and trained medical staff. The risk associated with abortion increases as the duration of pregnancy increases. For example, in first trimester of pregnancy, abortion is considered to be easier as well as safer as compared to the second trimester of pregnancy. If the doctor and medical staff are not well-versed and experienced with the process, patients may suffer from life threatening complications such as excessive bleeding, infection, retained products and incomplete abortion. This is why it is important for a person, who wants to undergo abortion, to choose reputed, reliable and safe abortion clinics. Saraogi, being an [IVF centre in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/) is also very reputed in providing all kinds of maternity services and also services like abortion. ## Knowing Late Term Abortion Second trimester abortion ( >12 weeks ) is a challenging medical procedure which requires authorization by 2 obstetricians. It must only be carried out by certified gynecologists, having experience in handling such cases & only in government recongnized abortion centres which are authorized to perform 2nd trimester MTP’s.. In the second trimester of pregnancy, the baby is almost formed. This is why at this time it gets risky for mothers to undergo abortion. MTP in India is only permitted till 20 weeks of pregnancy. Abortion is safest before 8 weeks of pregnancy as there are lesser complications. But, in some cases, doctors have to do a late term abortion, especially when the baby has malformations or the mother suffers from various medical complications due to pregnancy. ## Knowing the State’s Regulation of Abortion In various countries, there are various rules or regulations regarding abortion. In India, there are some specific guidelines for abortion. Late term abortion is only allowed in India, only till 20 weeks of pregnancy. However, amendment of regulation has been suggested to extend till 24 weeks, but it is yet to be enacted. So, as per current guidelines, a pregnant woman can undergo an abortion at her second trimester of pregnancy, only till 20 weeks. Registered and certified Abortion Clinics in Malad have to follow these guidelines, as it is illegal to carry out abortion after 20 weeks. ## General Abortion Methods In professional and registered abortion clinics in Mumbai, abortion has been mainly recommended in the first trimester of pregnancy. Ample safe options are available there for abortion during this time frame. **Some of the common methods for abortion in the first trimester are:** - **Pills:** Till 7 weeks of pregnancy, oral MTP pills are suggested or prescribed by a doctor. This is a simple process, as it does not involve any surgical process. In more than 93% cases, pills work perfectly. But, in some cases, it can fail. Going for this kind of abortion does not require indoor admission to a clinic. - **Suction Evacuation:** This is an advanced method of abortion. An electrical suction machine is used for sucking out the contents of the uterus. - **[MVA](https://www.mottchildren.org/health-library/tw1078) –** Manual Vacuum Aspiration: This is a special method, where a device is involved in sucking out uterus content. IT is safer than conventional suction evacualtion as it is less traumatic to the uterus. 2nd trimester MTP requires indoor admission and can be a prolonged process. It requires constant supervision and continuous monitoring by an experienced gynaecologist. Visit our centre to consult our doctors. We also have the best [Ivf doctors in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/) offering their expertise in IVF. **Categories:** Blog --- ### [Understanding Male Infertility – The First Step to Getting Pregnant](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/understanding-male-infertility-the-first-step-to-getting-pregnant/) **Published:** March 3, 2019 **Author:** Dr. Mohit Saraogi **Content:** # Understanding Male Infertility – The First Step to Getting Pregnant by [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/author/drmohitsaraogi/ "Posts by Dr. Mohit Saraogi") | Mar 3, 2019 Couples get married because they love one another and because they want to have a family. It is understandable that they get anxious when they do not get pregnant. This can be for a variety of reasons. Stress contributes to the problem, be it work or family related. If, however, after a year of trying pregnancy does not happen, then the next step is to test the couple for fertility problems. In some cases immediate testing is warranted for fertility problems – such as when the woman has irregular menstrual cycles, or if the intercourse is unbearably painful (dyspareunia), or if there is difficulty in the act of intercourse. In some cases the male may have a diagnosed semen problem which may warrant immediate assessment. Contrary to popular myths – the male is as much responsible as the female in contributing to infertility. If the male is the one with a low sperm count, or has erectile dysfunction then he should go for fertility treatment. The [Best IVF specialist in Mumbai ](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/ "https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/")is the place to start. These specialists have years of experience and they understand the worry that prospective parents face. Grandparents pose questions, as they also want grandchildren. For couples seeking infertility treatment, we would advise them to visit one of the [Best ivf Centre in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/) and take their advice. Often the first steps to improve fertility is good old common sense. For instance, if you are overweight, lose weight as it helps regularize the hormonal imbalance in the body. This is useful in both male and female infertility. The best ivf clinics in malad and goregaon – focus on checking the BMI of the patients on their booking visit and then guiding the patient to proper diet control & exercise so as to achieve the Desired BMI.Secondly, consider getting active. People get so involved with their lives that they often forget to take care of themselves. Infertility itself is highly specialized subdivision of Obstetrics & Gynaecology which requires additional training & qualification & a dedicated infertility specialist for management of patients. Visiting just any gynaecologist for infertility treatment does not cut the deal as treatments and protocols often get mashed up & bungled. The age old saying is true – that half knowledge is dangerous knowledge.Its like going and seeing a cardiologist for a leg problem – it doesn’t fit. We recommend you go see one of the best infertility specialists in Mumbai for your infertility treatment. We can proudly boast of having one of the best infertility specialists in Malad and Mumbai heading the fertility division of our hospital. When you come visit us – you will realize that IVF or test tube babies is only a last resort option and that there are many more affordable and viable solutions also available. We pride ourself on being one of the most affordable infertility clinics in Mumbai. The third thing you should do is to have a look at your eating habits. Any good Ivf clinic in Malad west will undoubtedly tell you the same thing and that is that you should remove certain foods from your diet and include others. This is not always easy to do because it means a total overhaul of your life, as you know it. However there are no gains without pains and the reward on conceiving is more than adequate repayment for your efforts. Other health related issues include smoking, drinking alcohol, and wearing tight-fitting clothing. Although on its own none of these issues could cause infertility a combination could have an adverse effect. It might be advisable to have a look at your health in its totality and take steps from there. A number of males have a condition known as varicocele which is dilatation of the veins of the genital area. This can often lead to a reduced sperm count and is usually treatable. Diagnosis of varicocele requires examination of the male partner. In some conditions their may be absence of the spermatic cord as well leading to infertility. Age plays a role in fertility and the older you get, the lower your sperm count will be. However the effect of age on male infertility is far lesser than the effect of age on female infertility as men as old as 70 have also been known to successfully impregnate their wives. The first step in assessment of semen analysis is getting your semen analyzed from a reliable accredited lab that follow WHO guidelines in semen assessment. Ours is one such semen analysis centre in Malad West. Infertility treatment is a spectrum which begins with planned relations, proceeds to IUI or donor insemination where required & has IVF, ICSI, use of donor gametes and Surrogacy at the end of the spectrum.There are Surrogacy clinics in Mumbai which can assist you in finding the appropriate surrogate as well where required. **Categories:** Blog --- ### [The Impact of Age on Fertility](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/the-impact-of-age-on-fertility/) **Published:** April 9, 2019 **Author:** Dr. Mohit Saraogi **Content:** # The Impact of Age on Fertility by [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/author/drmohitsaraogi/ "Posts by Dr. Mohit Saraogi") | Apr 9, 2019 On a daily basis, I get a lot of couples suffering from fertility related issues whom I counsel. Quite a few of these cases are those of secondary infertility, which means that they have either had a delivery or abortion a few years ago, and they haven’t been able to conceive after that. Quite often some couples had earlier opted for an MTP or an abortion who later come back with fertility related issues. These are the hardest hit of the lot. As when they didn’t desire pregnancy – they conceived & later when they were ready, pregnancy evaded them. One of the daily challenges is having to explain to patients that the fertility potential of a couple will never be the same as it was a few years ago. The hardest part for them is coming to terms with the fact that, what occurred naturally earlier, now requires assisted guidance on the part of a fertility specialist. Most of the [best IVF specialist in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/) will tell you like me, that age has a major role to play in the fertility potential of a couple. Its impact is more on women than men. A woman is at her fertility peak between the ages of 20-24. After that, there is a mild decrease in the fertility potential of a woman from the age of 25- 29. After the age of 30 – things start taking a turn for the worse. There is a decrease in both the number of eggs as well as the quality of the eggs produced by the woman. The chances of spontaneous abortion following conception increase and the risk of [congenital anomalies](https://www.healthychildren.org/English/health-issues/conditions/developmental-disabilities/Pages/Congenital-Abnormalities.aspx) in the baby also go up marginally. However, this risk is still not very serious at this stage. The biggest trouble starts after the age of 35. Almost 60% of the IVF cases being performed by IVF specialists in Malad or for that matter by IVF specialists in Mumbai belong to the age group of 35 and above. After this age, the decline in the quality and the quantity of the oocytes is tremendous, and the risk of spontaneous abortion is extremely high. The reasons for declining fertility in women by age is as follows: - Decrease in the ovarian reserve and the number of eggs in the ovary - Decrease in the quality of the egg (female gamete ) due to age-related changes in the DNA - Changes in the uterus with age – Eg. The occurrence of the fibroid, polyps, adenomyosis, etc. - Changes in the hormonal milieu of the body which is less favorable for fertilization ## Impact of age on male fertility: The impact of age on male fertility is less dramatic than that in women. Age causes a mild decrease in semen volume and a moderate decrease in potency of men ( especially hypertensive and diabetic men ). However, the impact on semen parameters is limited. The only thing it affects is the time to the conception which is mildly increased. ## Impact of age on endometrium and uterine receptivity Age can cause some changes in the uterus as well. These include the development of fibroids, polyps, etc. All of these changes may be unsuitable for implantation to occur ( lodging of the embryo into the endometrium of the uterus). In extreme cases, the uterus may be entirely hostile to receiving embryos increasing the requirement for surrogacy. There are many surrogacy centers in Mumbai like ours which provide surrogacy services. The objective is to find the best and most cooperative surrogate and to reach agreeable terms with the commissioning parents. This is where the role of the best surrogacy centers comes into play. If your looking for [Surrogacy in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/surrogacy-in-mumbai/) then visit Saraogi Hospital, Mumbai. **Categories:** Blog --- ### [What to do & what not to do in pregnancy?](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/what-to-do-what-not-to-do-in-pregnancy/) **Published:** May 20, 2019 **Author:** Dr. Mohit Saraogi **Content:** # What to do & what not to do in pregnancy? by [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/author/drmohitsaraogi/ "Posts by Dr. Mohit Saraogi") | May 20, 2019 Pregnancy and childbirth are undoubtedly one of the most important periods in a woman’s life. Amidst all the joy that pregnancy brings with it, comes its fair share of confusion as well. I write this article with the hope to clear some of these doubts and clarify some myths. In my career, I have had the fortune of working in some of the best maternity hospitals in the country. My tenure in K.E.M. Hospital, Mumbai saw us do over 9000 deliveries per year. Hence I can confidently say that I have heard every kind of pregnancy myth possible – raning from silly to downright outrageous!!! **Some of the myths that I have come across are as follows:** - Not to eat ‘hot’ food/papaya during pregnancy : This classification of food into hot and cold goes back eons into time. And it is as ridiculous as it sounds. There are no restrictions on what to eat in pregnancy. However spicy food should be avoided so as to avoid acidity & one should preferably eat home cooked food to avoid infections from outside food. - Eating certain kinds of food can determine the sex of your child – Really? Unless you do a genetic analysis or your GOD – you cannot really control the sex of your offspring. What is more – you really shouldny attempt to either. - It is forbidden to do exercise during pregnancy – This is entirely untrue. Quiet to the contrary – daily exercise is recommended during pregnancy. However the kind of exercise is very important. The best maternity hospital in Mumbai will guide you as to the kind of [antenatal exercise](https://www.columbiaindiahospitals.com/health-articles/antenatal-exercises) which is most suitable for you. Not just that – they will also guide you on which exercises to avoid during pregnancy. Our hospital in Malad, routinely conducts antenatal classes for our obstetric patients. The objective of these classes is to prepare the expecting couple for childbirth and teach them various aspects of antenatal care. - That stretch marks are completely reversible – Now this is a myth that I came across only after joining private practice. In the government circles, patients were less bothered about their cosmetic appearance. The truth is that stretch marks occur due the breaking of collagen fibrils in the subcutaneous layer. These are not completely reversible, although they do tend to fade with time. The best treatment for stretch marks is prevention which is taught by most good obstetricians in Mumbai – to their patients. - That weight gain during pregnancy is irreversible – This myth is easily shattered by all the celebrity mothers you see around you. the only key to successful weight loss is exercise, exercise and exercise. - Top feeding is better than breast feeding – This is probably the worst misconception of them all. The truth is that there is no fomr of nutrition superior to breast feeding in all lactating women. Breast feeding offers several advantages over top feeding such as – increased immunity in the baby, nutritionally more complete, increased bonding between the mother and the baby, prevention of breast cancer in the mother, increased weight loss post pregnancy in the mother & better development of the GI tract in the infant. Exclusive breast feeding should ideally be recommended for all women uptil 6 months post delivery as far as possible. - Travelling is bad for pregnancy – This is only half truth. Travelling in pregnancy is safe as long as it is done cautiously. Jerky rides and bumpy movements can be dangerous – however as long as the journey is smooth, it should not be uch of a problem. **Categories:** Blog --- ### [Management Of Failed IVF Cycle Treatment](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/management-of-failed-ivf-cycle-treatment/) **Published:** June 9, 2019 **Author:** Dr. Mohit Saraogi **Content:** # Management Of Failed IVF Cycle Treatment by [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/author/drmohitsaraogi/ "Posts by Dr. Mohit Saraogi") | Jun 9, 2019 Failed IVF cycles are the biggest dilemma and source of anxiety for patients seeking test tube baby treatment. While there could be a variety of reasons for the failure of IVF cycles, a large number of them are idiopathic (or without a reason). **Lately there have been a plethora of options which have been added to the treatment of these patients. They include:** - Culture of embryos upto the [blastocyst stage](https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/engineering/blastocyst-stage) ( that is for 5 days instead of 3 days. This gives us better quality embryos to transfer) with a higher success rate for implantation. - Use & availability of newer drugs like growth factors (gcsf ) to improve the endometrial lining and in turn their receptivity to the embryo. - Use of techniques like endometrial scratching to improve endometrial receptivity to embryos. This is a procedure which involves mechanical irritation of the uterine lining in the cycle preceding the ivf cycle. This in turn causes the uterus to secrete a number of angiogenic growth factors which help improve the quality of the endometrium in the actual ivf cycle significantly improving implantation. - Use of certain media like embryo glue which marginally improve implantation rates. - Use of IMSI in indicated cases. IMSI as I have discussed elsewhere is the use of selective morphologically normal sperms for ICSI. These sperms are chosen under a magnification of approximately 6600 X. - In selected cases of recurrent IVF failure, the use of surrogacy or donor eggs for ICSI may be warranted. This is particularly true in cases where the uterus has been damaged or the woman is of a very advanced age. At IRIS IVF Centre we incorporate these techniques by individualizing treatment protocol on a per case basis. By doing this we have achieved a number of successful pregnancies in cases of recurrent IVF Failure. For more details you can call up on 02228804927 and ask to speak with Dr. Mohit Saraogi. **Categories:** Blog --- ### [Infertility Treatment at Saraogi Hospital – what makes us so good](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/infertility-treatment-at-saraogi-hospital-what-makes-us-so-good/) **Published:** July 29, 2019 **Author:** Dr. Mohit Saraogi **Content:** # Infertility Treatment at Saraogi Hospital – what makes us so good by [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/author/drmohitsaraogi/ "Posts by Dr. Mohit Saraogi") | Jul 29, 2019 Infertility is a global problem which affects about 1 in 7 pregnancies. The trouble with infertility is that people are often scared to accept the condition, often resulting is delayed diagnosis and treatment. Over the years fertility care has undergone massive transitions & metamorphosis. The first ivf baby Louise Brown was born in 1978. Since then infertility treatment has undergone massive evolution. IVF is no longer a remedy of the rich or the west. At Saraogi Hospital and Iris [IVF centre in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/), we are proud to have one of the [best IVF specialist in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/) – Dr. Mohit Saraogi.Dr. Mohit Saraogi is a renowned infertility specialist who has won numerous awards and recognitions including gold medals in FCPS, DGO and ICOG exams. He spearheads the infertility division of IRIS IVF centre and has helped numerous women concieve who had lost all hope. The infertility solutions at Saraogi hospital & Iris IVF Centre are state of the art, affordable and individualized. What is more – they are as good if not superior to those in Western countries. The success rates at this particular centre are more than those of most centres across the city, making it one of the best IVF centres in Mumbai. All kinds of infertility treatments are available in this centre and other centres across Mumbai. Treatment options range from planned relations & Intrauterine Inseminations to more advanced treatments such as Intra Cytoplasmic Sperm Injections ( ICSI ) and IMSI. For women who have undergone a [hysterectomy](https://www.healthline.com/health/hysterectomy)(removal of the uterus ) in the past or women who havea poor non responsive endometrial lining, surrogacy always remains a option. Suitable gestational surrogates are selected and screened at Saraogi Hospital before being commissioned to a couple desiring surrogacy. This make it one of the best surrogacy clinics in Mumbai as well. For those couples in whom the gametes ( sperms or eggs ) are absent or unsuitable, Donor eggs and sperms can be used in indicated cases. A thorough screening of all donors is done before selecting the samples. In women desiring fertility preservation – embryo freezing and [egg freezing](https://saraogihospital.com/egg-freezing-in-mumbai/) is also routinely offered to women. Hence – if it is infertility treatment you are looking for – Saraogi Hospital & Iris IVF Centre is the place to go to for [IVF in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/). Most people would readily vouch that it is the best ivf clinic in malad west and the solution to all fertility issues. **Categories:** Blog --- ### [Infertility – The modern day disease](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/infertility-the-modern-day-disease/) **Published:** August 20, 2019 **Author:** Dr. Mohit Saraogi **Content:** # Infertility – The modern day disease by [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/author/drmohitsaraogi/ "Posts by Dr. Mohit Saraogi") | Aug 20, 2019 Diseases are known to come and go as epidemics and pandemics. Only a few diseases have been known to withstand the test of time and continue to increase in prevalence progressively year after year. Infertility is one such menace. In todays times infertility is a more prevalent issue than ever before. Couples and singles delay both marriage and child bearing for a variety of reasons such as career, personal space etc. When they are eventually ready for marriage/ child bearing – their body is not. This results in a crisis of sorts with a mad rush to the doctor to get themselves checked and treated. Before rushing to the doctor we need to know which couple falls into the definition of being infertile. Any couple that has been trying for pregnancy for a whole year without using contraception and has still not successfully conceived will be requiring the services of a fertility consultant. Also women having irregular menstrual cycles or husbands having diagnosed low sperm counts require treatment at an earlier date. 40% cases of infertility are due to a male factor such as an abnormal semen parameter ( low sperm count/ motility etc) ; 40% are due to a female factor ( bloacked tubes, anovulatory cycles ); 10% are due to a combined factor & 10% cases are unexplained fertility. The general treatment of infertility requires evaluation of both the male and the female partner first. When obvious clinical abnormalities are ruled out and a basic semen evaluation has been performed – we can move forward with the treatment of infertility. It is of utmost importance to have a semen test done by a reliable lab as abnormal findings and reporting can lead to mistreatment and a lot of anguish later on. We at Saraogi Hospital and Iris IVF centre pride ourselves on being one of the best semen testing labs in malad west and Mumbai as we follow the strict WHO criteria for semen testing. In the normal situation – the first step in the treatment of infertility is to stimulate the ovaries to produce follicles and monitor the growth of the follicles by performing serial ultrasounds. The ultrasound is generally scheduled on the second or third day of your period. You will take two tablets of [letrozole](https://www.drugsbanks.com/femara-letrozole/) (5 mg total) daily, starting on Cycle Day 3 (the first day of menses is Cycle Day 1) and ending on Cycle Day 7. This allows us to monitor the growth of the follicles and decide on the time of injection for ovulation trigger. When the follicles are ready, a hormonal injection is given to cause maturation and rupture of the egg inside the follicle. When rupture occurs, the couple is asked to have planned relations with the hope of conceiving in that cycle. When serial planned relation cycles have failed , we move on to tubal patency testing. The [best IVF specialist in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/) usually prefer to do this by performing a hysterolaparoscopy with chromopertubation ( dye injection ). This is preferred to HSG ( Hysterosalpingography ) as it allows us to simultaneously visualize both the inside and the outside of the uterus. Any abnormalities if found can be corrected simultaneously. The best ivf centres in Mumbai usually have an attached endoscopy or operative unit which allows them to both diagnose and treat any treatable causes which may be discovered. Once tubal patency testing has been confirmed we move on to IUI or intrauterine insemination. The best infertility specialists in Malad west, Goregaon, Jogeshwai, Kandivali and Andheri individualize the method of semen washing for IUI. There are different methods for semen washing for IUI like simple wash, swim up technique, Single density gradient Centrifugation and Double Density Gradient Centrifugation. The best method depends on the semen parameters. The success rates with IUI range from 14 to 20 percent and vary from centre to centre. IVF is the last stage in the sequence of treatment in infertility. It is not the same as ICSI which is intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection. Both procedures are synonymous with test tube babies. The best ivf specialists in Malad West, Goregaon, Jogeshwai, Kandivali & Andheri also individualize the method of test tube baby fertilization varying from patient to patient. In our centre in Malad west we have one of the best IVF specialist in Mumbai to address all infertility related issues. Our success rates in infertility are better than those of most centres globally. Which is why patients who come to Saraogi Hospital and Iris IVF centre usually go back happy. Surrogacy is another component of infertility treatment which is indicated in patients who have been hysterectomized or have a poor ovarian reserve. In this case the genetic embryo of the commissioning couple is implanted in a third party uterus and allowed to grow and develop there. The baby that is eventually born belongs to the genetic parents. The commissioning couple in turn provide financial support to the surrogate and cover the cost of medical expenditures. All in all it is important that you choose a good fertility specialist in Mumbai who has exclusive specialization for the same. We recommend that you come to Saraogi Hospital & IRIS IVF centre for any infertility related consultation, so that you can comfortably leave your troubles behind & be assured of the best quality treatment available. **Categories:** Blog --- ### [All you wanted to know about Donor eggs IVF](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/all-you-wanted-to-know-about-donor-eggs-ivf/) **Published:** September 2, 2019 **Author:** Dr. Mohit Saraogi **Content:** # All you wanted to know about Donor eggs IVF by [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/author/drmohitsaraogi/ "Posts by Dr. Mohit Saraogi") | Sep 2, 2019 It is no surprise that advancement in test tube baby treatrment has occurred by leaps and bounds over the years. To add to the numerous dimensions of this advancement is the small but significant development of doing IVF/ ICSI using donor eggs. Several of you may have been recommended this line of treatment by your [infertility doctor](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/). In this article I hope to comprehensively elaborate on this enigma. ## Who is suitable for this line of treatment? **IVF / ICSI using [donor eggs](https://www.webmd.com/infertility-and-reproduction/guide/donor-eggs-in-fertility-treatments) is often the first line treatment in the following cases:** - Women with premature menopause or premature ovarian failure - Women who are known to have heritable genetic diseases - Women with advanced age eg. 39 – 40 years where age related deterioration in egg quality may have occurred. - Women with recurrent IVF failures or who have been known to have poor quality eggs as recorded from previous IVF cycles. These women are known as the commissioning mothers or the recipients. ## How is a donor selected? **A donor is a completely anonymous lady. She is selected based on the following criteria:** - She should be young. Ideally less than 27 years of age - Her features should match the commissioning mother - Her sonography should show a good antral follicle count - Her blood hormones should be normal and she should be screened for all infectious diseases. - She and her husband should be willing to undergo the treatment. When a suitable donor is selected. Both the donor and the commissioning mother are given tablets so as to ensure that they get their periods on the same day. Then the donor is given injections to stimulate follicular development whereas the recipient is given medicines to build her endometrial lining. Once this is done, on a suitable day – egg retrieval is done from the donor. These retrieved eggs are then fertilized with the husbands sperms by either ICSI or IVF and then cultured in an incubator to fomr embryos. Once the embryos are ready, they are transferred into the uterus of the commissioning mother, where if they implant, you could have a successful pregnancy. This treatment modality is a novel line of treatment for needy patients. Also owing to better quality of eggs retrieved.. the success outcome in these cycles also tends to be better. **Categories:** Blog --- ### [The significance of AMH in fertility treatment](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/the-significance-of-amh-in-fertility-treatment/) **Published:** October 16, 2019 **Author:** Dr. Mohit Saraogi **Content:** # The significance of AMH in fertility treatment by [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/author/drmohitsaraogi/ "Posts by Dr. Mohit Saraogi") | Oct 16, 2019 AMH or Anti Mullerian Hormone is blood based investigation which can be carried out on a woman at any time. The significance of AMH is that it accurately tells us about a woman’s ovarian reserve – i.e. her capacity to produce eggs. The other advantage is that AMH can be performed at any time during a woman’s menstrual cycle. This is contrast to other predictive tests like [FSH ](https://medlineplus.gov/lab-tests/follicle-stimulating-hormone-fsh-levels-test/)and LH which need to be performed only on day 2 or day 3 of a woman’s menstrual cycle. **Based on AMH values, a woman can be further classified as:** - A poor responder if the AMH is less than 1.5 - Normoresponder if the AMH is 1.5 to 3 - Hyper responder if AMH is more than 3 Women who fall into the normoresponder category are best suited for IVF cycles and usually produce anywhere from 8 to 15 follicles on ovarian stimulation with injections in IVF cycles. Poor responders is a hard category to deal with. This is because these women usually produce only a few follicles even when stimulated with maximum doses of injections. These are women who are usually more than 35 years of age or women who have started undergoing premature ovarian failure which could be due to a variety of factors. The third category is that of women with AMH more than 3. These are women who often women who suffer from PCOD (Polycystic ovarian disease). These women usually have an exaggerated response to gonadotropins (IVF Injections) and produce a large number of follicles (often in excess of 25). This excessive production of follicles can be dangerous to to a woman’s health as occasionally it can lead to accumulation of water in a woman’s abdomen (ascites) due to a phenomenon known as OHSS or ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome.

There are various options available as fertility treatments in Mumbai. It mainly depends on you and your partner’s specific requirements. Most [IVF centres in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/) offer both intrauterine insemination (IUI) and in-vitro fertilization(IVF). Some individuals know more of one treatment over the other. They often do not know about their difference or what either treatment involves. While it is essential to discuss your condition with your fertility specialist, you must know the difference between these two procedures. So, let’s start by understanding what an IUI procedure is? ## What is IVF? IVF (in vitro fertilization) is a fertility procedure or an [assisted reproductive technology (ART)](https://medlineplus.gov/assistedreproductivetechnology.html). In this procedure, eggs and sperms are mixed in a lab. Before fertilization, you require fertility medicines to stimulate the ovaries. It helps in retrieving healthy eggs. Your IVF specialist will perform the egg retrieval procedure under sedation. The sperm retrieval process also happens on the same day. Once fertilization happens, your specialist will observe the embryo to determine the right time to inject it into the uterus. Now that you know what both procedures are let us understand the difference between them. ## What are the differences between IUI and IVF? The main difference between IVF and IUI is that in IUI, fertilization happens internally. The sperms are injected directly into your uterus. So, when fertilization is successful, the embryo implants itself within the uterus. With IVF, fertilization occurs outside the uterus, in a laboratory. The sperm and egg are mixed for fertilization. After fertilization, one or more of these embryos are transferred into your uterus. The embryo implants itself within the uterus’ lining, leading to pregnancy and a full-term baby’s delivery. [IVF treatment](https://saraogihospital.com/ivf-in-mumbai/) has higher success rate than IUI. Still, it is commonly suggested that young couples go for IUI before opting for IVF. Now that you know the difference between IVF and IUI let us understand their commonalities. ## What do IVF and IUI have in Common? IUI and IVF have some common elements. They mostly have to do with becoming ready for the treatment and the procedure of conceiving. Before fertilization or insemination, in both IUI and IVF, you may have to intake some fertility drugs. It aids in ovulation and increases the chances of fertilization in IUI. For IVF, the drugs help to produce a healthy and ample amount of eggs for retrieval. Both treatments include procedures to separate the highest quality sperm from the samples you provide for fertilization. For both IUI and IVF to succeed, an egg must be fertilized and implanted in the uterus’ lining. It develops into full-term infants or multiple infants. Now that you the commonalities in both the procedures, let us understand which procedure is right for you. ## What makes you an Ideal Candidate for IUI or IVF? IUI, or Intrauterine insemination, is the most common fertility treatment. Other than this, it is often the first treatment several people go for. It is because fertilization happens internally, not inside a lab. IUI requires quality eggs, working ovaries, and fallopian tubes. After your specialist processes the male partner’s ejaculate, it requires five-ten motile sperm to achieve a successful pregnancy. If you or your partner do not meet IUI requirements, you may go for IVF. IVF is utilized for several infertility problems, including problems with unexplained infertility in men and women. IVF treatment has a higher rate of successful pregnancies. Couples who have crossed the age of 35 can go for IVF directly and skip trying out IUI. Following an IUI procedure, do not stress. It affects the hormone’s balance in your body, which impacts the chances of a healthy pregnancy. Some couples have conceived after 14 trials. So, you need not worry about the IUI’s failure on the first try. IUI failures can happen, but you can always go for more than a single try. Now that you know about both the procedures visit your fertility centre in Mumbai. Your specialist will help you understand which treatment suits your condition. **Categories:** Blog --- ### [IVF Treatment for Infertile Couples with Multiple Failed Pregnancies – Saraogi Hospital](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/ivf-treatment-for-infertile-couples-with-multiple-failed-pregnancies-saraogi-hospital/) **Published:** September 4, 2020 **Author:** Dr. Mohit Saraogi **Content:** # IVF Treatment for Infertile Couples with Multiple Failed Pregnancies – Saraogi Hospital by [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/author/drmohitsaraogi/ "Posts by Dr. Mohit Saraogi") | Sep 4, 2020 Sakshi and Kunal, aged 31 and 35, hitched for a long time without a child.

The mental, physical, and medical aspects of the decision are paramount, but the financial part of Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) is a significant concern for many prospective parents. Insurance coverage can be inadequate or non-existent, and paying for these complicated procedures out of pocket is a substantial financial undertaking. Saraogi Hospital provides the [best IVF treatment cost in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/ivf-cost-in-mumbai/).So, if you are planning to undergo IVF treatment, visit us without any delay. Understanding the multiple variables that can influence an IVF cycle’s overall cost and breaking down the price of a standard IVF cycle into its separate components can help you understand what to expect. ## Charges for Mandatory Consultation The cost of IVF depends upon the consulting fees. This expense is measured by the period it takes to complete the procedure. The cost of IVF care is directly affected by all of the prescription facilities and services provided to the patient for over seven months to produce eggs. - **Tests in the lab** In the IVF treatment, all infertility problems are measured in the lab, and several tests are performed and observed. Semen studies are conducted to determine male and female hormone levels measured by blood tests and other medical tests that influence the cost of IVF treatment. - **Ultrasounds are a form of imaging that uses sound waves** For IVF therapy, ultrasounds are used to assess the fertility factors that influence the treatment cost. The scan reveals the uterus’s outline, the width of the ovaries, the thickness of the endometrium, and the number of reserved eggs required to complete the IVF procedure successfully. - **Sperm Preparation is a process that involves the Preparation of sperm** For the fertilization process, the fertility lab only uses healthy sperm, making IVF care more costly. Sperm preparation takes a long time since the donor must be thoroughly tested before donating sperm. The donated sperm must then be processed with a unique centrifugal process before being used for reproduction. - **Freezing Embryos** When a woman’s frozen embryo has a higher chance of being pregnant than a fresh embryo, our physicians encourage couples to freeze the fertilized eggs for possible IVF cycles. It is a costly process that is usually brought on by ICSI treatments. - **Embryo transfer is a process in which an embryo is moved from one person to** If the embryo is retained or frozen for future IVF cycles, it moves the frozen embryo into the uterus. Although the cost of frozen embryo transfer is low when compared to the total cost of IVF, it is one of the most important factors that influence the cost of IVF.Some of the major factors that have influenced the cost of IVF treatments in Mumbai are mentioned above. It is by far one of the most expensive therapies because it is linked to the reproductive process and is focused on the couples’ financial plans.A few standard costs are associated with IVF, which usually are not included in a per-cycle fee. But these things are also the cost determining factors. **Medication cost:** Fertility doctors prescribe but do not administer the oral and injectable fertility medications and hormones used in IVF. The cost is primarily determined by the pharmacy that fills the prescription. **Cost of anesthesia:** Anaesthesia for the egg retrieval procedure is usually performed by an outside physician who comes into the clinic specifically for the process, so the provider’s fee is paid separately. **Embryo storage:** Embryo storage is a term used to describe the storing of embryos. If your IVF cycle results in more viable embryos than are required for transfer, you can freeze them for future transfers. The embryo storage service is typically offered by a different facility that has its own set of fees. **Categories:** Blog --- ### [How Is Infertility Diagnosed?](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/how-is-infertility-diagnosed/) **Published:** March 18, 2021 **Author:** Dr. Mohit Saraogi **Content:** # How Is Infertility Diagnosed? by [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/author/drmohitsaraogi/ "Posts by Dr. Mohit Saraogi") | Mar 18, 2021 **Do you know?** **Globally, infertility is related to females in 1/3rd of the cases and male-factors in 1/3rd of the patients. Both male and female infertility factors in the remaining 1/3rd cases.** ## What is Infertility? Infertility is defined as the inability to conceive or carry a pregnancy to term after 12 months of trying to conceive. At an infertility clinic or [IVF Centre in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/), the doctor will conduct a physical examination of both partners to determine their general state of health and examine physical ailments that may be causing infertility. Generally, both partners are interviewed about their sexual practices to determine whether intercourse is taking place properly for conception. ## What are the Causes of Infertility in Women? - Ovulation disorders - Uterus abnormalities - Damage to the fallopian tubes - Endometriosis ## What are the Causes of Infertility in Men? - Hormonal or sexual disorders - Abnormal production of sperms - Genetic conditions ## How is Infertility Diagnosed in Women? - Medical and sexual history of partners - Physical examination - Ovulation and ovarian reserve testing - Hysterosalpingogram (HSG) - Transvaginal ultrasound - Hormone testing - In rare cases, hysteroscopy, laparoscopy, or genetic testing can be done. The first step in testing for a woman is to find out if she is ovulating each month. There are various methods to do this; for example, she can track changes in her morning body temperature and cervical mucus texture. Another tool is a home ovulation test kit; it checks ovulation. It can also be done in the doctor’s office using blood tests for hormone levels or ultrasound for imaging ovaries. Some female tests include a Hysterosalpingogram, an X-ray of the fallopian tubes and uterus. It involves injecting a dye that highlights the fallopian tubes. It helps examine whether the tubes are open and shows the uterus’s shape. Laparoscopy examines the fallopian tubes and other female organs for disease. ## How is Infertility Diagnosed in Men? - Medical and sexual history of partners - Physical examination - Male fertility tests: 1. Semen analysis 2. Hormone testing 3. Ultrasound (TRUS) 4. Scrotal Doppler 5. Genetic testing 6.

Varicocele surgery 2. Vasovasostomy 3. Vasoepididymostomy 4. Trans-urethral Resection of Ejaculatory Duct (TURED) ## To extract sperms: Testicular sperm aspiration (TESA)- To extract sperms from the male reproductive organ. ## What are the Types of ART? Intrauterine insemination (IUI): It involves the transfer of sperm into the woman’s uterus. Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is done in couples where women have blocked or absent fallopian tubes or where men have low sperm counts. **In-vitro Fertilization (IVF):** [IVF treatment in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/infertility-treatment-mumbai/) involves the fertilization of an egg with sperm using natural selection in the lab. In vitro fertilization, IVF offers a chance to parenthood to couples who have no hope of having a biologically related baby. It involves surgical removal of the eggs from the ovary and mixing them with sperms outside the body in a petri dish in a lab. After about 40 hours, the [IVF specialist in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/) examines the eggs to check if sperms have fertilized them. These fertilized eggs (embryos) are then placed in the woman’s uterus, bypassing the fallopian tubes.

The doctor then places the fertilized egg in the woman’s uterus as in IVF. **Donor insemination:** It involves artificially inseminating a woman with donor sperm. **Zygote Intra Fallopian Transfer (ZIFT):** It involves removing eggs from the woman and then placing the fertilized eggs in the woman’s fallopian tubes rather than the uterus. **Gamete Intra Fallopian Transfer (GIFT)** It involves removing eggs from the woman and placing them in one of the fallopian tubes with the man’s sperm. It allows fertilization to take place inside the woman’s body. ## Other assisted reproductive technologies: - Assisted hatching - Fertility preservation - Cryopreservation of sperms, eggs, and reproductive tissue - Frozen embryo transfer But is just a single visit to the IVF clinic in Mumbai sufficient to conceive?

If you’re ready to start a family but having trouble conceiving, it’s time to look at your choices. Infertility is the failure in achieving pregnancy after 12 months of regular, unprotected intercourse. Fertility specialists are extensively trained in diagnosing infertility and identifying suitable treatment options. Most fertility experts have in-depth knowledge and expertise in handling Assisted Reproductive Techniques (ART). These techniques include [IUI](https://saraogihospital.com/iui/), IVF, [ICSI](https://saraogihospital.com/icsi/), [IMSI](https://saraogihospital.com/imsi/), etc. If fertility medications fail to achieve pregnancy, then an [IVF Specialist in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/) can recommend IUI or [IVF](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-centre-in-india/) treatment for successful conception. Infertility affects both men and women equally. A man or woman has a 50/50 risk of having fertility issues. ## Here Are Eight Reasons Why You Should Consult A Fertility Expert: **1. You’ve been having intercourse without birth control for at least 12 months and haven’t got pregnant.** According to reproductive science, it takes five to six months to conceive. You should consult an infertility specialist if you’re under 35 years and have unprotected sex for the past 12 months. **2. You Are 35+** The consistency and quantity of eggs decline as a woman ages. If you are 35 years or older and attempting to conceive for six months without using birth control, you can see a fertility specialist. If you’re over 40, you’re technically in the high-risk pregnancy group, so you should see a fertility specialist first. At this time, the risk of miscarriage is higher. **3. You’ve had three or more miscarriages** A miscarriage occurs when a pregnancy is lost within 20 weeks of conception. Miscarriage mostly happens due to an incorrect number of chromosomes in an egg or sperm. It prevents the fertilized egg from developing correctly. Miscarriage may also be caused by early development issues, such as the egg failing to implant properly in the uterus or having structural flaws. If you’ve suffered two or more miscarriages, you can consult a fertility doctor to keep track of your wellbeing when attempting to conceive. You should be informed if there is a more severe condition causing these miscarriages. **4. Your Partner is Having Trouble Achieving or Maintaining an Erection.** Having an appointment with a male fertility specialist is easy. Urologists, also known as andrologists, specialize in diagnosing and treating the conditions related to the male reproductive system. They will help you find a solution to these problems. **5. You Have No Period or Irregular Periods, or Heavy Bleeding** A fertility problem may cause any of the following symptoms: - **No period:** There are chances that you’re not ovulating. - **Irregular periods:** Your brain could be sending the wrong hormone signals, or an ovulation disorder could cause it. - **Bleeding between periods:** Bleeding between periods or after sex can occur due to a uterine polyp or fibroid or a cervical lesion. - **Hefty periods:** Your period is heavy if you bleed for more than seven days; use more than one pad or tampon every hour, or transfer blood clots. A uterine fibroid or an endocrine abnormality may cause it. It is strongly advised to consult a fertility expert. **6. You or Your Partner Have a Medical History of STDs or STIs** Sexually transmitted infections (STIs), formerly known as sexually transmitted diseases, are infections spread by sexual contact. They have the potential to cause inflammation and infection. They can cause recurrent infections in men, affecting sperm mobility, function, and count. **7. You Have a Chronic Medical Condition** As you might be aware, whether you have a chronic or long-term medical condition, you and your doctor are practically on first-name terms. It’s the same for fertility. We suggest that you see a fertility doctor if you have any of the following disorders or diseases: - Diabetes - Genetic disorders - Heart disease - Hypertension - Kidney disease - Thyroid condition **8. If you have had cancer (chemotherapy treatment) or have a family history of [early menopause](https://www.medicinenet.com/premature_menopause_medical_procedural_causes/article.htm), you should see a fertility doctor.** Although this phase may tend to be daunting, several compassionate services are available to assist you. If you agree with any of the above causes, you will get answers to your fertility questions by seeing a specialist. **Categories:** Blog --- ### [When should you consider IVF?](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/when-should-you-consider-ivf/) **Published:** March 30, 2021 **Author:** Dr. Mohit Saraogi **Content:** # When should you consider IVF? by [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/author/drmohitsaraogi/ "Posts by Dr. Mohit Saraogi") | Mar 30, 2021 If your doctor has informed you that you are infertile, IVF is the best way to become a parent. Let us first clarify what IVF is if you are unfamiliar with the procedure. When you are diagnosed with infertility, IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) is a treatment that helps you become pregnant. Avail of the affordable IVF cost in Mumbai at Saraogi Hospital. Female eggs and male sperm are fertilized in a special lab during this process. It takes place under the guidance of an IVF expert. After completing the embryo development, our doctor injects it into the mother’s uterus. ## Some of the reasons why you should choose IVF regardless of your age include: When compared to other fertility treatments, the success rate is high. It also has a better success rate for infertile couples. If the first IVF cycle fails, you have the option of trying again. If you are experiencing difficulties with the development of fertilized eggs, please contact us. Often the eggs or sperm are of poor quality or unhealthy. In this case, we can provide you with donated eggs and sperms. When it comes to menstrual cycle delays or disturbances, IVF treatment can improve. IVF therapy will assist you in coping with miscarriage, i.e., IVF reduces the risk of miscarriage. You can also control the duration of your pregnancy by freezing your eggs or embryos. If you have a blocked fallopian tube, endometriosis, or other fertility issues, IVF treatment increases the chances of becoming pregnant. If you have a low sperm count or have testicular sperm, IVF will help you as well. Now that you have heard about IVF therapy’s advantages, you can determine if it is right for you or not. Now let us move on to the next subject. ## When should you consider IVF treatment? When it comes to IVF, age plays a significant role. Women in their 20s and 30s have a high success rate for IVF implantation and pregnancy. The IVF procedure’s success rate by age: - The achievement rate for people in their 30s and 35s is 37%. - 35–37 years old: 31% success rate - At the age of 38–40, the success rate is 21%. - We have seen 11% success rate between the ages of 41 and 42. - Over the age of 42, the success rate is 4%. After the mid-thirties, the rate of success decreases. This is because the eggs in your ovaries become old as well. These eggs lose their ability to fertilize as they mature, reducing your chances of implantation. You can expect around 12% of the 300,000 eggs you were born with at the age of 30. However, Just 9000 of these eggs remain by the age of 40. When you enter menopause (around the age of 50-55), your ovary has very few eggs left, and they are not so useful. As a result, you would have a higher success rate for IVF therapy when you are in your twenties to mid-thirties. ## If you want to try IVF after menopause, you have two options: You may use any eggs that have been frozen at a previous time. You may also choose to use a donor’s eggs, which can be fresh or frozen. You can implant embryos derived from a donor’s egg if your uterus is ready. In such circumstances, your child will not be linked with you genetically. You do, however, share a physical bond through pregnancy and childbirth. Since an egg donor usually is younger and healthier, you can receive many healthy eggs. Your male partner may also be the baby’s father. Your uterus can still carry out a healthy pregnancy well after menopause sets in. So, even though you are over 50, you still have a decent chance of getting pregnant by IVF. Saraogi hospital has a team of specialist doctors who provide the best [IVF cost in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/ivf-cost-in-mumbai/). They have worked in the area of IVF for a long time. They will provide you a detailed evaluation that involves several tests and diagnoses. These will assist in determining and confirming the effectiveness of IVF implantation. IVF therapy will help you to fulfill your dream of being a parent, regardless of your age. - **[IVF treatments](https://saraogihospital.com/infertility-treatment-mumbai/):** In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a fertility treatment that involves combining sperm and eggs in a lab. The quality of the resultant embryos is determined, and one or more are implanted into the uterus via the cervix. For infertile couples, IVF treatment is a blessing. - **IUI (intrauterine insemination) treatment:** IUI (intrauterine insemination) is a relatively straightforward fertility procedure. It can be carried out with or without the use of fertility medications. The treatment entails inserting a thin catheter into the uterus and transferring semen that has been cleaned in a specific way directly into the uterus. - **ICSI:** Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is a laboratory process in which an individual sperm is inserted directly into an egg during IVF treatment.

IMSI is an elective procedure done in IVF treatment to improve its success. IMSI is chiefly suggested for couples with male infertility to achieve a successful pregnancy through IVF. IMSI helps analyze and determine healthy sperm for microinjection into an egg using a high power magnification. IMSI is an upgraded and advanced version of ICSI. With a higher success rate than ICSI, it is a complex treatment available only at a few [IVF centres in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/). **Now, let’s know,** ## What is IMSI? IMSI is an advancement in assisted reproductive technology. IMSI includes injecting a single sperm into a mature egg that has been carefully selected. In some men, the heads of sperm are abnormally shaped and have vacuoles. These abnormal sperms are less likely to carry genetic material. IMSI uses high magnification to detect sperm defects and select the sperm that appear to be the healthier. High magnification is required due to the small size of sperm in comparison to the egg. With the IMSI technique, experts can examine the morphology and motility of the sperm and reject the abnormal sperms for injecting into the selected eggs. ## Who is Suitable for IMSI? An [IVF specialist in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/) may recommend IMSI to men who have: - Fewer numbers of sperms - More number of abnormally shaped sperms - Less number of motile sperms - Evidence of poor outcomes with previous ICSI treatments ## What is the Purpose of IMSI? - An improved selection method can boost the chances of fertilization and healthy embryo formation for men with high numbers of abnormal sperms and previously failed IVF outcomes with ICSI. - In IMSI, an embryologist observes a single sperm at 6,000X high power magnification under a digital microscope to detect defective sperm. It chooses the healthy sperm for injecting into an egg. - Traditional sperm selection methods, on the other hand, use 400X magnification to check for visible anomalies in the sperms. ## How is IMSI performed? 1. An embryologist prepares a fresh semen sample before the process. 2. A single sperm is selected under a high-power magnification microscope by an embryologist skilled in IMSI techniques. 3. After harvesting the eggs, the eggs are cleaned and tested to find mature eggs for fertilization, as in standard ICSI. 4. The selected, mature sperm is picked and then inserted into the chosen egg using a fine glass needle. 5. The microinjected eggs are cultured in an incubator overnight in labelled sterile culture dishes. 6. Further, the resulting embryos are implanted in the uterus as in the IVF procedure. ## Let’s Know the Benefits of IMSI: An [IMSI treatment](https://www.mivf.com.au/treatments-services/fertility-treatments-procedures/imsi-treatment) improves the chances of embryo fertilization and its normal development, especially among the men who had a previous poor IVF outcome with ICSI treatment and men with high numbers of abnormal sperm. **Categories:** Blog --- ### [How to Choose an Egg Donor for IVF?](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/how-to-choose-an-egg-donor-for-ivf/) **Published:** April 26, 2021 **Author:** Dr. Mohit Saraogi **Content:** # How to Choose an Egg Donor for IVF? by [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/author/drmohitsaraogi/ "Posts by Dr. Mohit Saraogi") | Apr 26, 2021 Egg donation and surrogacy account for millions of all babies born in the world each year. Conceiving through egg donation and advanced reproductive technology has encouraged couples who would not otherwise be able to start families. Egg donors are a medium through which couples with fertility problems can realize their dream of becoming parents. Fortunately, more women than ever before are donating their eggs. It is a good thing for couples searching for the right match to help them start a family. However, selecting an ideal donor is quite difficult as you have to consider many different factors during the selection process. No doubt, having a healthy donor is the main criteria, but what about the rest. If you are searching for [donor eggs in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/donor-eggs/), Saraogi Hospital can help you begin your donor selection process. **Below are some of the essential factors you need to look out for while choosing an egg donor:** - **Physical appearance:** Physical appearance is one of the most crucial concerns for most couples. Finding an egg donor who matches the appearance in terms of height, body size, complexion, physical characteristics, and ethnic background is vital. Couples are looking for a donor who can fit in with their family as not everybody chooses to tell their families that they have used an egg donor. - **Medical history:** Medical background appears to be the second most significant factor that couples consider when selecting an egg donor. A genetic counselor pre-screens all donors and rules out ones with significant medical history. Finding a donor who does not suffer from the same diseases or disabilities as the recipients are crucial. - **Education:** Another factor that recipients consider is education. They want to know that the donor did well in school and put forth her best effort. It is essential to many recipients to believe intelligence is passed down genetically or believe she will contribute to the same commitment in her cycle. - **Blood type:** If you are looking for an anonymous egg donor, matching your blood type with the donors may be beneficial. It will enable you to donate blood to your child if the need arises and provide you with more privacy. Some parents are unsure whether or not they will tell their kids about the egg donor. - **Repeat donors:** Women that have been through the egg donation process once or many times are known as repeat donors. Using a repeat donor will give intended parents peace of mind because the donor has been through the procedure before, knows what to expect, and has reacted well to the medication. Although using a repeat donor over a first-time donor does not guarantee success, it does provide some benefits. - **Personality:** Try to get a sense of the donor’s personality by going through the donor profiles. The donor’s response to questions will reveal more about her personality. You should select a donor with whom you can identify or with whom you could become friends. - **Follow your instincts:** When you are going through donor profiles, it is easy to get caught up trying to find someone that fits everything on your list. Try not to put too much emphasis on a single characteristic. In the long run, parents who choose a donor who “feels just right” are the happiest. It is crucial to have a bond with your donor. You can start your donor selection process by visiting an [IVF clinic in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/) that will give you complete information that will help you choose the right [egg donor](https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/314750). **Categories:** Blog --- ### [When should you consider egg freezing?](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/when-should-you-consider-egg-freezing/) **Published:** April 30, 2021 **Author:** Dr. Mohit Saraogi **Content:** # When should you consider egg freezing? by [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/author/drmohitsaraogi/ "Posts by Dr. Mohit Saraogi") | Apr 30, 2021 Egg freezing is now more accessible and more efficient thanks to modern techniques. It allows women to extend their fertility and relieve the stress of the “biological clock.” Women in India now have more educational, technical, and social options than ever before.

Your ovarian reserve may be examined first by your fertility expert. It enables them to assess the condition of your eggs before undergoing an ovarian stimulation period. This examination includes blood and imaging scans. To activate the ovaries, the doctor injects hormone drugs.

Eggs that have made it through the freezing process will be used to start a family. This procedure entails incubating the egg with the partner’s or [donor’s sperm](https://saraogihospital.com/donor-sperm/) in a lab to achieve fertilization before transferring it to the uterus. - The age at which you freeze the eggs and the number of eggs available is a critical factor in the likelihood of a healthy live birth. - The risk of complications rises as the mother’s age increases during pregnancy. Preeclampsia and gestational diabetes are possible complications. The majority of older women, on the other hand, have safe and healthy pregnancies. ## When should you freeze eggs?

You may opt to freeze your eggs before the surgery in certain situations. ## Risks involved in egg freezing - **Conditions linked to the use of fertility medications:** In some instances, using injectable fertility drugs to stimulate ovulation may result in swollen and painful ovaries. Abdominal pain, nausea, bloating, vomiting, and diarrhea are some of the symptoms. - **Complications related to the egg retrieval process:** In few women, retrieving eggs with an aspirating needle causes trauma, inflammation, damage to the intestine or bladder, or a blood vessel. - **Emotional risks:** 1. While egg freezing will increase the chances of conceiving in the future, but there is no assurance of success. 2. If you use frozen eggs to start a family, the probability of miscarriage is determined by your age when you froze the eggs. Since their eggs are mature, older women may have a higher risk of miscarriage. 3. To date, there has been no evidence of an increased risk of congenital disabilities in babies born using egg freezing. However, further research into the safety of egg freezing is needed. For any woman in India, starting a family is one of her greatest joys. We will assist you in completing the task in your own time and manner.

Is this a problem you’re having as well? Your [IVF specialist in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/) will talk about the blockage in fallopian tubes in this post. You will also learn how to get pregnant with this complication. Let’s start with a discussion about what a fallopian tube obstruction is. ## What is an obstructed fallopian tube? The uterus and the ovaries are connected by tubes called fallopian tubes, which are female reproductive organs. The egg is transported from the ovary to your uterus via the tubes. It happens every month during your periods. When you have clogged fallopian tubes, the sperm can not reach the egg, and the egg can not come to your uterus. Let’s look at the symptoms of an obstructed fallopian tube as you know what they are. ## Symptoms of an obstructed fallopian tube: Symptoms of a clogged fallopian tube are rare. You may not realize you have clogged tubes until you try to conceive. Clogged fallopian tubes can lead to mild, frequent pain in your abdomen in some circumstances. It is common in a sort of obstruction known as a hydrosalpinx. Filling of fluid and swelling in a blocked fallopian tube is the symptom of hydrosalpinx. The symptoms of a blocked fallopian tube differ depending on the cause. Endometriosis, for example, is characterized as acute pelvic discomfort and a high rate of periods. It increases your chances of developing a fallopian tube blockage. ## Let’s talk about the reasons for obstructed fallopian tubes now: A variety of factors can cause Fallopian tube blockage. These tubes are frequently blocked due to pelvic adhesions and scar tissue. Many things can contribute to this: - Inflammation in the pelvic can cause hydrosalpinx or scarring in the uterus. - Endometriosis is a condition in which endometrial tissue develops within your fallopian tubes, which causes an obstruction. - Gonorrhea, Toxoplasma, and Chlamydia are three sexually transmitted diseases that can scar and create inflammation. - Ectopic pregnancy in the past might damage your tubes. - Fibroids’ growths can obstruct the tubes, exactly where it connects to the uterus. - Any previous abdominal surgery, particularly on your fallopian tubes, might cause pelvic adhesions, blocking the tubes. ## So what are the impact of obstructed fallopian tube on fertility? Blocked fallopian tubes can be a primary reason for infertility. For fertilization, an egg and sperm contact in your fallopian tube. As a result, a blocked fallopian tube prevents them from the meeting. Pregnancy is impossible without proper treatment if both the tubes are completely obstructed. You may become pregnant if your tubes are clogged partially. However, there can be a high risk of a rise in ectopic pregnancy. It is difficult for an egg to reach your uterus through a barrier. In such cases, your physician may suggest [In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)](https://saraogihospital.com/infertility-treatment-mumbai/). If your one fallopian tube is obstructed, it can not hamper your fertility. An egg can still pass through the healthy tube. ## Now let us see how you know that your fallopian tubes are in good condition: You will be aware of the situation of your fallopian tubes in numerous instances. One of the underlying problems will lead you to have symptoms like discharge, pelvic discomfort, or a high temperature. Women’s fallopian tubes can be damaged without causing any symptoms in rare situations. We are fortunate that professionals have lately completed various rapid and thorough evaluations for all aspects of fertility. These tests evaluate your egg reserve levels, the health of your uterus, and the condition of your fallopian tubes are working correctly.

Your [IVF specialist in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/) can do this through laparoscopy, which is the most reliable method. X-ray hysterosalpingography is commonly performed as an outpatient treatment at a radiology facility. However, an ultrasound test called [HyCoSy](https://womensimaging.net.au/what-we-do/gynaecology/hysterosalpingo-contrast-sonography/) has mostly replaced this test. It is carried out at the unit dedicated to fertility and helps to view fluid traveling down your tubes. It aids in determining if the tubes are open.

However, they do not know the exact time of the month to have intercourse. Some couples fear they are impotent and seek treatment from the [Best IVF clinic in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/). Do you have issues in conceiving as well? Here we will look at how to schedule your intercourse to become pregnant. The fertile window is the optimal period to have intercourse to get pregnant. The fertile window refers to a woman’s menstrual cycle when she is most likely to conceive. The length of the menstrual cycle decides the ‘fertile window.’ When an egg is discharged from your ovary, it is known as the ‘fertile window’ (ovulation). You can schedule your intercourse; you have the highest chance of becoming pregnant. ## Now let us discuss the timing of intercourse: When a full-grown egg comes out from the ovary, it leads to ovulation. As the egg travels through the fallopian tube, it gets fertilized. This egg can be fertilized if sperm is present in the fallopian tube at that time. Hence it will lead to an embryo that will develop into a baby. If you have intercourse five days before ovulation or on the day of ovulation, you might become pregnant. However, the three days prior to the ovulation and the day of ovulation are the most fertile. Having intercourse at this time enhances your chances of becoming pregnant. If you have intercourse before or after the fertile window, you will not be able to conceive. ## How do you know if you’re ovulating? Knowing when you ovulate might help you increase your chances of becoming pregnant. Maintain a record of your menstrual periods using a routine, a notebook, or a smartphone app for monitoring your menstrual cycle. Keep a record of the first day and the last day of bleeding to determine the length of your menstrual cycle. You may have heard that having too much intercourse lowers the quantity and quality of sperm. Having intercourse every 1-2 days, on the other hand, increases the chance of becoming pregnant. So, you can make an effort to have intercourse more frequently, but don’t make it burdensome. It can lead you to stress. Over everything, the suitable number of intercourse differs for every person. ## There are few helpful tips for becoming pregnant. To increase your chances of becoming pregnant, you do not need to modify your sex practices. **Here are a few additional tips to help you become more fertile:** - A guy must ejaculate to make his partner pregnant. Though the female counterpart does not need these things to become pregnant, her orgasm helps sperm reach their intended location. - Your fertility will be affected if you are overweight or underweight. So try to be in proper shape. - Smoking raises the chance of miscarriage and decreases sperm motility. So, stay away from smoking. - Restrict your caffeine consumption since it reduces fertility. Limit yourself to two glasses of coffee every day. ## So, is there any need to see a specialist? Consult with a fertility professional to know the [IVF cost in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/ivf-cost-in-mumbai/) if you’ve been trying to conceive but haven’t been successful. So, when should you consult a specialist? If you’re under 35 and have been trying for a year, you can see a [specialist](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/).

In this article, we will discuss the Symptoms of pregnancy after having [IUI treatment](https://saraogihospital.com/iui-treatment-in-mumbai/). ## When did you first notice signs of pregnancy? Following the therapy, some women may experience early pregnancy signs or symptoms. After two weeks, the first indications of pregnancy usually appear. ## Pregnancy symptoms after an IUI treatment The symptoms of pregnancy after having an IUI therapy are similar to a normal pregnancy. These include the following: ## Following implantation, there is a lot of bleeding. One of the first signs of implantation is bleeding after implantation. Even while this does not happen to every woman, it is regarded normal in any event. The deposits of eggs in your uterine tissue cause bleeding. It causes a thin discharge from the vagina, which you may think to be menstruation. Cramps may also occur as a result of the bleeding. It typically occurs six to twelve days after you have conceived. - **Menstrual irregularities**: A pause in your regular menstrual cycle is a good sign of conception chances. However, minor bleeding can occur, which you do not need to be concerned. You can always visit the [best IVF clinic in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/) if you are worried about your irregular bleeding. - **Soreness in the breasts**: It can be a sign of pregnancy if your breasts are swollen, sensitive, and a bit painful. But you do not need to worry about these signs as they are common. If this symptom appears after a menstrual pause, you should get a pregnancy test. - **A feeling of nausea**: Symptoms, including nausea and morning weakness, are also prevalent. These symptoms might occur due to a strong smell, an allergic reaction from a particular food, or something else. The main reason for this nausea is an increase in estrogen levels in your body. - **Exhaustion**: You may feel unusually tired at this period due to a high level of progesterone in the body. As a result of the increased progesterone level, you can feel drowsy. Additionally, your blood glucose and blood pressure levels drop, leading to an increase in blood production in your body. It requires a lot of energy and causes exhaustion. - **Cravings and aversions**: You might have an intense, even [pathological appetite](https://www.medicinenet.com/increased_appetite/symptoms.htm) for some meals while being unable to bear certain fragrances. It is a pregnancy sign that will remain for a long, even after it is born. You may feel compelled to eat at inconvenient times as a result of your cravings for food. Hormonal changes in the body cause the desire and aversions to particular food and fragrances. - **High temperature regularly**: Your body temperature will rise as your progesterone levels rise.

Tracking your nutrition will help you to discover what is and is not working for you, and you may make modifications to your diet in the meanwhile to find the ideal diet for yourself during IVF, according to the guidelines of the Diet To Follow During IVF Treatment. **Best food to eat during IVF treatment:** - **Green leafy vegetables:** Green leafy vegetables are at the top of the list because they promote fertility. These should be included in your regular diet since they are high in antioxidants, folic acid, and iron. - **Cabbage:** Cabbage is rich in vitamins, minerals, and Di-indole methane which aids in the regulation of estrogen secretion. - **Broccoli:** Broccoli is high in vitamin C, which aids in the maturation of eggs. In addition to the high iron content, antioxidants and folic acid aid in the correct development of your body and foetus. - **Potatoes:** Potatoes aid the body’s cell division process. Potatoes give you essential vitamins like B and E if you eat them regularly. - **Banana:** High in vitamin B6, this superfood aids with menstrual cycle regulation. This fruit is a good choice for a nutritious snack too. - **Pineapple:** Pineapple contains a significant quantity of manganese. Manganese is a reproductive mineral, which means it aids in the production of reproductive hormones. - **Salmon:** Salmon’s high Omega-3 fatty acid concentration makes it a critical meal to consume since it can aid with estrogen balance and blood flow. - **Complex carbohydrates:** Complex carbs help to keep blood sugar levels in check. It will also aid in the maintenance of a healthy weight. - **Colorful vegetables and fruits:** The colorful vegetables and fruits are packed with vitamins and minerals.

Instead of artificial sweeteners, use natural sugar in your diet. - **Refined sugars:** Food containing [refined sugar](https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/refined-sugar) makes you feel excellent for a while, but it also puts pressure on your liver to create more insulin fast to keep the sugar level in check. This excess stress can lead to numerous problems. - **Seafood:** Seafood is a rich source of protein and vital fatty acids, but it might infect you if you eat it uncooked or half-cooked. Furthermore, seafood is high in mercury, which interferes with the baby’s development and can lead to birth problems. - **Alcohol:** The most common cause of irregular ovulation in women is alcohol. It not only has an impact on the health of eggs, but it also impacts the foetus. - **Caffeine:** When you’re undergoing IVF, you should limit your intake of coffee and tea. - **Cheese:** You must avoid some varieties of cheese during your IVF treatment. Only a few types of cheese have germs that might cause illness. Now that you know all that you need to keep and what to avoid in your regular diet, you must make a list and follow that strictly during IVF treatment, as per the Diet To Follow During IVF Treatment. **Categories:** Blog --- ### [Impact of Covid-19 on Pregnancy](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/impact-of-covid-19-on-pregnancy/) **Published:** June 15, 2021 **Author:** Dr. Mohit Saraogi **Content:** # Impact of Covid-19 on Pregnancy by [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/author/drmohitsaraogi/ "Posts by Dr. Mohit Saraogi") | Jun 15, 2021 ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI1OTUiIGhlaWdodD0iMzk3IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNTk1IDM5NyI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "impact-covid - Saraogi Hospital") What have been the newspaper front pages since last year?

Nutritious diets (like the Mediterranean diet) On the other hand, antioxidants, dairy products, soy, caffeine, vitamin D, and alcohol have some or no effect on fertility. Additionally, “unhealthy diets” and trans-fat like processed meats and those high in red, sweets, potatoes, and sweetened beverages have adverse effects. Studies done on men have found that eating a healthy diet improves sperm quality, whereas eating a trans-fat or high saturated diet has the opposite effect. Caffeine and alcohol have little effect, bad or good. Also, sperm quality is not the best fertility predictor, and the majority of studies do not look into the impact of paternal diet on the successful pregnant rate. Women may be more likely to conceive if they eat a diet rich in isoflavones (plant-based estrogens with antioxidant activity) or take folic acid supplements. Also, antioxidants may help male fertility. Furthermore, unsaturated fats, whole grains, vegetables, and fish can increase fertility in men and women. ## The Effects Of A Poor Diet On Fertility Foods high in unhealthy fats can make it difficult to conceive. In many cases, weight gain and an unhealthy diet lead to recurrent miscarriages and fertility issues. The majority of prepackaged foods and fast food on the market today have ‘trans-fats’ in small amounts. Trans-fats can disrupt a woman’s normal ovulatory cycle, so it is one of the initial things she should avoid when trying to conceive. Fatty foods can also harm men’s sperm count. Although omega-3 fats are usually recommended for couples who have difficulty conceiving, an excessive amount can affect sperm morphology. Breakfast cereals, for example, that have been artificially fortified, have no naturally healthy content. It should also be avoided as much as possible. Alcohol consumption is widely acknowledged to harm folic acid levels in the body, and you should avoid it at all costs. Still, the evidence on the effects of dairy, alcohol, and caffeine is mixed. But saturated fats and sugar are linked to lower fertility in both women and men. ## The First Step in Infertility Treatment Is A Healthy Diet A fertility diet can help your body reproduce more successfully. Couples experiencing infertility issues should eat the high nutrients necessary for normal hormonal production, balance, function, and fetus development.

Along with age factors, other factors also play a role in the success rate of pregnancy like health factors and sperm factors. This article explains more about how age affects pregnancy and also discusses the other factors affecting pregnancy. ## Factors affecting Pregnancy ### Age Age is one of the major factors affecting pregnancy. Higher the age lower are the chances of getting pregnant. Because as you grow older, your eggs also grow older and deteriorate in quality. They also decrease in number. Due to decreased quality and quantity of eggs, the chances of getting pregnant decrease with increasing age. The quality of eggs starts to deteriorate after the age of 35. So, it is advisable to get pregnant before you touch the age of 35. But if you are below the age of 35 and are still unable to get pregnant even after trying for a year, then it is advisable to visit the [best IVF doctor in Mumbai for fertility treatment](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/).

Yes, increasing age is one of the biggest barriers to pregnancy but one can overcome this barrier to some extent by getting fertility treatments like IVF from the [best IVF centre in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/).

But by taking proper medications for the thyroid, they can increase their chances of getting pregnant with the help of fertility treatments in Mumbai. Health conditions like PCOS and endometriosis also lower the chances of pregnancy. In such cases, it is advisable to seek help from an IVF doctor in Mumbai.

In such cases, seeking help from a [fertility doctor in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/) is essential for proper fertility treatment and to increase the chances of pregnancy. Not only does a mother give birth to a child but even the father plays a huge role. The child is the outcome of the efforts of both the mother and father. Both are equally responsible for the birth of the child. Pregnancy cannot happen if one of them isn’t there. It is a combined effort! Both play a huge role in turning the dream of giving birth to a child into reality. Without the other, the dream would have just remained a dream! Just like males and females both are responsible for pregnancy to happen, the same way both are responsible for pregnancy to not happen! Yes, fertility issues are not only caused by women factors, but malefactors are also responsible for causing infertility. One of the major malefactors responsible for infertility is poor sperm quality. So, for checking the quality of semen and sperm, a semen analysis is a must. Poor quality sperm in men can be because of health conditions such as cancer, diabetes, obesity, etc. Sexually transmitted infections also reduce the quantity and quality of sperms. If you are facing fertility issues due to male factors like poor sperm quality, then it is advisable to seek help from an [IVF doctor in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/) as soon as possible.

This post is for you if you’re anxious about how your maternal journey will be after you turn 40. ## Pregnancy after 40 Being an older mother requires your body to work more than it did when you were younger. You are more likely to suffer a health problem and need medical assistance during childbirth. If you are overweight, you may have pre-existing health concerns like high blood pressure or diabetes. However, with medical assistance and guidance from one of the [best IVF doctor in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/), most women can have healthy pregnancies. ### Benefits There are several advantages to having a baby at 40 that often outweigh the advantages of having a baby in your twenties or early thirties. Some women desire to establish a career before devoting their complete attention to raising children. You may wish to stabilize your financial condition at times. Further, you may also have goals you want to achieve before having a child and committing your entire time to them. Here are a few of the advantages to look for: - Longer life expectancy - Lower rate of cognitive deterioration - Children have the highest graduation rates and test scores. ### Risk Thanks to modern advancements in fertility treatments, you can safely plan your pregnancy and delivery. However, there are still significant dangers associated with having a baby at the age of 40. Your doctor will regularly check these conditions for both you and your baby: - Diabetes during pregnancy - Preeclampsia can be caused by high blood pressure - Other birth abnormalities, such as Down syndrome - Miscarriage - The birth weight that is too low - Ectopic pregnancy is a common side effect of IVF. ## Does your age have an impact on your fertility? Many women decide to postpone their pregnancy due to advances in reproductive treatments. Here are some treatment methods that can help you improve your fertility: - If you plan to have a baby at a later age, you can freeze your eggs when you are younger. - [Intrauterine insemination (IUI)](https://saraogihospital.com/iui-treatment-in-mumbai/), [In vitro fertilization (IVF)](https://saraogihospital.com/infertility-treatment-mumbai/), and various other infertility treatments. - Using donor sperm or eggs - [Surrogacy](https://saraogihospital.com/surrogacy-in-mumbai/) Even after having the latest technologies and medical advancements, women aged 35 or older experience a drastic drop in their fertility rate and have issues conceiving. The following are some of the risk factors that may influence women as they get older: - The quality of the eggs deteriorates - The number of mature eggs also reduces - Ovaries are unable to release eggs - Increased risk of miscarriage - Health issues that may have an impact on fertility ### What can you do to ensure a healthy pregnancy at the age of 40 and above? If you’re pregnant at any age, the most significant thing you can do is focus on being as healthy as possible by: - Have a nutritious and well-balanced diet - Quit smoking - Lose weight before getting pregnant if you are obese or overweight - Keep yourself safe from infections such as rubella while pregnant - Avoid drinking alcohol or using illegal drugs while pregnant - Be active - Minimize your caffeine intake ## Conclusion Many women wish to become pregnant later in life.

Before we discuss these treatment options in detail, first let us understand the causes of repeated pregnancy failure. ## What causes repeated pregnancy failure? According to an IVF specialist in Mumbai, the following are some of the common causes of repeated pregnancy failure- - **Irregularities in chromosomes:** Faulty or mismatched chromosomes are an important cause of repeated pregnancy failure. Irregularities in chromosomes can have a negative impact on the development of the embryo which in turn leads to pregnancy failure. So, it is important to check and correct the chromosomal irregularities to have a healthy and successful pregnancy. - **Issues in the cervix and uterine:** Some women have an abnormally shaped uterus. This can lead to implantation and pregnancy failures. Issues in the cervix can make it difficult for the cervix to keep the fetus within thus leading to pregnancy failure. - **Immunological disorders:** Sometimes, the immune system of a woman rejects the sperm and embryo. This can lead to pregnancy failure. - **Diabetes and thyroid:** Conditions such as diabetes and thyroid increase the risk of pregnancy failure. So, to avoid repeated pregnancy failure, it is crucial to first treat conditions such as diabetes and thyroid. - **PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome):** PCOS is a condition that occurs when a woman releases surplus testosterone which in turn leads to irregular menstruation and ovulation. PCOS also leads to insulin resistance. This causes a delay in the maturation of the endometrial lining. PCOS is one of the major causes of repeated pregnancy failure. Thus, the problem of PCOS should be addressed as early as possible to have a successful pregnancy. - **Lifestyle factors:** Women who smoke and drink excessively are at a higher risk of experiencing pregnancy failure. So, it is advisable to avoid smoking and alcohol, especially during the pregnancy phase. The above are some of the common factors that lead to repeated pregnancy failure. Instead of grieving over the pregnancy failure, it is advisable to understand and correct the cause of your pregnancy failure so that you don’t experience pregnancy failure the next time. It is essential to treat the cause of your pregnancy failure to reach a different destination- the destination where you become a mother and not the destination of pregnancy failure. ## Are you experiencing repeated pregnancy failure? Don’t get disheartened! There is a solution for every problem. You can change the destination by changing the path. By taking the path of IVF, IUI, or ICSI, you can reach your desired destination- the destination where you become a mother and avoid the destination of pregnancy failure. You can get the best IVF, ICSI, and IUI treatment from the best and the most experienced IVF doctor in Mumbai. Each of the treatment options is explained below- - **[IVF treatments](https://saraogihospital.com/infertility-treatment-mumbai/):** In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a fertility treatment that involves combining sperm and eggs in a lab. The quality of the resultant embryos is determined, and one or more are implanted into the uterus via the cervix. For infertile couples, IVF treatment is a blessing. - **[IUI (intrauterine insemination) treatment](https://saraogihospital.com/iui-treatment-in-mumbai/):** IUI (intrauterine insemination) is a relatively straightforward fertility procedure. It can be carried out with or without the use of fertility medications. The treatment entails inserting a thin catheter into the uterus and transferring semen that has been cleaned in a specific way directly into the uterus. - **[ICSI](https://saraogihospital.com/icsi-treatment-in-mumbai/):** Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is a laboratory process in which an individual sperm is inserted directly into an egg during IVF treatment. If there is a difficulty with sperm quality or quantity, this can aid achieve fertilization during regular IVF treatment. - Fertility tests such as [PGD](https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/gynecology_obstetrics/specialty_areas/fertility-center/infertility-services/ART-procedures/preimplantation-genetic-testing.html) and PGS also help in reducing the risk of pregnancy failure by assuring that only the healthiest and the best-quality embryos get deposited in the uterus. ## Conclusion Repeated pregnancy failure isn’t the time to lose hope and give up on your dreams!

Failure doesn’t mean that it is the time to give up on your dreams, but it means that it is the time to give up on the path that you are currently walking on!

Don’t lose hope! Because losing hope makes you lose your dream! Recurrent implant failure is not what makes you lose your dream but losing hope is what makes you lose your dream! So, even after a recurrent implant failure, do not lose hope! Because losing hope will make you lose the battle against infertility!

You can do this by learning the cause of recurrent implant failure and taking the necessary steps to avoid implant failure the next time and to achieve your dream of becoming a mother! Don’t let recurrent implant failure be the source of grief but make it a source of learning! And for that to happen, you first need to understand the causes of recurrent implant failure. But before we get to the causes, first let us understand a little more about recurrent implant failure. ### What actually is recurrent implantation failure? Recurrent implantation failure is when you have had 4 or more unsuccessful implantations even after the previous steps of IVF were successful. In [IVF](https://saraogihospital.com/infertility-treatment-mumbai/), after the sperm and eggs are fertilized in the laboratory, the fertilized eggs or the embryo is placed into the woman’s womb for implantation. But sometimes, fertilized embryo fails to get implanted, and this leads to implantation failure and failed pregnancy attempts. ## What causes repeated pregnancy failure? ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2NjIiIGhlaWdodD0iMjg0IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjYyIDI4NCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "implantation - Saraogi Hospital") Recurrent implantation failure can be caused by a variety of reasons such as follows- - **Poor egg quality:** Lower the quality of eggs, higher the chances of implant failure. Low-quality eggs are an obstacle to a successful pregnancy. Usually, low-quality eggs are found in older women. Thus, it is advisable to avoid pregnancy in old age and instead try to deliver a baby at a young age. - **Uterine receptivity issues:** Hormonal imbalance, anatomical flaws, endometrial lining issues, uterine position changes, etc. are some of the causes of implant failure. These issues need to be addressed and treated to have a successful pregnancy and avoid recurrent implantation failure. - **Genetic problems:** Genetic defects and chromosomal abnormalities can cause implant failure. So, it is necessary to perform tests that help reveal the genetic defects in the embryo thus preventing an unsuccessful pregnancy to happen. - **Factors related to lifestyle:** Weight issues such as being either underweight or overweight both have an impact on the success of pregnancy. Underweight as well as overweight women are more prone to face recurrent implantation failure. Even unhealthy habits like smoking can cause implant failure and reduce the chances of a successful pregnancy. - **Sperm issues:** Problems in sperm due to genetic defects in sperm DNA can also lead to recurrent implantation failure. ## How can one avoid recurrent implantation failure? As mentioned earlier, one can avoid recurrent implantation failure by knowing the reason why implant failure happened and learning from it by taking suitable actions to avoid implant failure the next time. So, as we now know the causes of implant failure, we can avoid recurrent implantation failure by treating the cause of implant failure. If the cause of implant failure is weight, then one can take the necessary steps to keep their weight in check and avoid recurrent implantation failure. In the same way, if the cause of implant failure is due to hormonal imbalance or other factors mentioned above, one can take necessary steps to correct and treat them to avoid implant failure the next time. Different tests such as the endometrial receptivity test (ERA) also help avoid implant failure by checking whether our endometrial lining is ready to take the embryo. This test also helps determine the right time for implantation thus helps increase the success rate of pregnancy. ## Conclusion Recurrent implantation failure isn’t an end to your dreams! So, don’t get dejected! Don’t treat it as a loss but treat it as a gain by learning from it and understanding why it happened. And taking necessary measures to avoid such implant failures the next time. Don’t treat it as an obstacle to your dreams but treat it as an important step to help you reach your dream. You can do this by learning the reason for implant failure and treating it to avoid recurrent implant failure and to achieve your dream of becoming a mother. By doing this, you will make recurrent implantation failure a boon and not a bane! As it will help you take a step forward and get you closer to your dream instead of making you take a step backward by causing you to give up! Recurrent implantation failure is a sign that does not tell you to give up on your dreams, but it is a sign that tells you to give up on the unhealthy habits that cause implant failure!

It connects the ovaries and the uterus. The fallopian tubes carry an egg from an ovary to the uterus during ovulation (rupture of the follicle). This event occurs roughly in the middle of a menstrual cycle every month. Not only that, fertilization (conception) also occurs in the fallopian tube. During fertilization, the fertilized egg moves through the tube and reaches the uterus. The fusion of egg and sperm results in the zygote. This process is called implantation. The condition in which the sperm cannot fuse with the egg and obstructs the path back to the uterus for the zygote is referred to as fallopian tube blockage. Due to blockage, the tube becomes narrow and the time taken by the sperm to meet is more than normal. You can always consult with a gynecologist if you are facing discomfort. There could be many factors that can affect the fallopian tube. You can visit one of the renowned and[ best IVF centers](https://www.saraogihospital.com/) in Mumbai. Factors like infection, endometriosis, scar tissue, pelvic inflammatory disease, and pelvic adhesion affect the blockage. Certain STIs (Sexually transmitted diseases) like Chlamydia and gonorrhea, past ectopic pregnancy, damage to other organs, fibroids, past abdominal surgery, history of tuberculosis, may also lead to tubal blockage. During this time the fertilized egg cannot migrate and hence implantation doesn’t occur. As a result, it’s difficult to conceive. Few symptoms like heavy pain in the pelvic area, and painful periods as in endometriosis are prevalent. You can’t really figure out that you have blocked fallopian tubes. This is because it doesn’t show any symptoms until you try to get pregnant and face problems. Sometimes, mild, regular pain on one side of the abdomen indicates hydrosalpinx. Here, the blocked fallopian tube fills with fluid and gets enlarged. Today, the most common factor for infertility is blockage of fallopian tubes. About 20 to 40 percent of cases account for this. A partial blockage also contributes to the female factor infertility. This condition results in a painful condition called an ectopic pregnancy where the zygote is stuck inside an obstructed tube. In case, you have one fallopian tube blocked, and one remains free, you can still become pregnant. Gynecologists refer to some fertility drugs to improve the chance of ovulation. ## How to diagnose a blocked fallopian tube? Hysterosalpingography (HCG) is a diagnostic process that uses X-ray for examining fallopian tube blockage. The medical professional introduces a contrast dye into your uterus as well as fallopian tubes. Clearly, doctors can check the extent of tubal blockage in the presence of dye. It’s better to visit your doctor during the first half of menstruation. This process involves rare side effects, but the reports can be false-positive often. Sonohysterography tends to show defective reproductive tissues using ultrasound. A transvaginal ultrasound uses sound waves instead of ultrasound and x-rays to produce images. To diagnose the condition of the uterus and fallopian tubes, the doctor pushes the transducer to the vaginal canal to take video or images. Sonohysterosalpingography is an alternative to ultrasound to detect the presence of hydrosalpinx. A supplied saline solution delineates the uterus during the examination. If hysterosalpingography fails to diagnose the blockage and other conditions, doctors use laparoscopy for further examination. This too conveys video to a computer screen to evaluate defects. The doctor may remove the blockage if possible through this laparoscope (a small, illuminated probe) creating small incisions. ## Treatment for a tubal block in infertility There are few ways by which you can overcome the blockage in the fallopian tube. Either surgery can help to treat or IVF (In vitro fertilization). If the tubes possess small amounts of scar tissue or adhesions, laparoscopic surgery is necessary. In case, you have large amounts of adhesions and scar tissues, only laparoscopy may not help to remove the blockage. [Tuboplasty](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4094663/) (complete surgical reconstruction of the fallopian tube) and surgery to only damaged parts of the tube and connecting two healthy parts may be an option. So, one can go for surgery if the tube is not fully damaged. Conception is possible post-surgery. If the tubes are badly damaged, IVF is the only possible option to choose those who want to make a family on their own. IVF is done by an embryologist by extracting a viable egg and then fertilizing it to sperm in a laboratory. After that, the embryo is implanted in the uterus and conceived naturally. ### Final thought Blockage in fallopian tubes leads to infertility, but it’s still possible to become a mother. Sometimes, laparoscopic surgery can remove the blockage. If surgery is not possible, IVF is the best option to consider as there is some bypass treatment available for conception. **Categories:** Blog --- ### [What does your menstrual cycle say about your Fertility](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/what-does-your-menstrual-cycle-say-about-your-fertility/) **Published:** March 16, 2022 **Author:** Dr. Mohit Saraogi **Content:** # What does your menstrual cycle say about your Fertility by [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/author/drmohitsaraogi/ "Posts by Dr. Mohit Saraogi") | Mar 16, 2022 ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIyNDYiIGhlaWdodD0iMjQ2IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgMjQ2IDI0NiI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "What-does-your-menstrual-cycle-say-about-your-Fertility-1024x576 - Saraogi Hospital")“When was the first day of your last period?” is a question gynaecologists frequently ask their patients. The response to this inquiry may appear to be standard procedure during your annual gynaecologist visit. If you’ve tried unsuccessfully to conceive, the answer could provide crucial information about the menstrual cycle and conception, such as hormone imbalances and ovulation. If you are facing problems conceiving naturally you should consult with a gynecologist. A renowned gynecologist with expertise of many years can surely help you knowing if you are having any fertility issues. You can visit one of the best and [renowned gynecological clinics in mumbai. ](https://www.saraogihospital.com/)They have the best expertise and have been practicing for many years. ## What is the length of your menstrual cycle? It’s not only your period, as you might believe. Each month,The ovary produces an egg, and the uterus starts preparing for pregnancy, and the woman’s body goes through a series of changes. The two phases of the cycle are the luteal phase and the follicular phase. The first day of your menses – or period – marks the start of your cycle and the start of the follicular phase. During this time, the brain produces follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) to encourage the growth of a single dominant follicle containing one egg. During maturation, the follicle generates oestrogen, which promotes the development and thickness of the uterine lining. Ovulation, or the release of a developed egg from the dominant follicle, marks the end of the follicular phase. The length of the follicular phase varies from person to person, which accounts for the majority of cycle length variations. After ovulation, the luteal phase begins and lasts until the next menstrual cycle. During this time, the ovary releases progesterone, which changes the uterine lining and opens the window of implantation, when the embryo can connect to the uterus. When there isn’t a pregnancy, progesterone levels drop, resulting in bleeding. On average, the luteal phase lasts 12-14 days. ## Does the length of your menstrual cycle matter? The length of a menstrual cycle is determined by the number of days between the first day of bleeding and the commencement of the subsequent menses. Even if you aren’t using any kind of birth control, the length of your cycle can be a good predictor of hormonal imbalances and whether or not ovulation happens on a regular basis. Hormonal imbalances may affect when and whether you ovulate during your cycle. Ovulation is required for pregnancy. **A typical menstrual cycle is as follows:** Countdown time: 24 to 35 days Ovulation Indicator: Regular cycles suggest the occurrence of ovulation. What Can Your Doctor Learn From Normal Cycles? Normal-length cycles indicate regular ovulation and that all sex hormones are in balance, allowing for natural conception. Menstrual period is short: **The number of days is less than 24.** Ovulation Indicator: Ovulation may not have happened at all, or it may have happened significantly sooner than usual. Short Cycles: What Do They Imply to Your Physician? Shorter cycles could mean your ovaries aren’t creating as many eggs as they should be. This is a common tendency among women in the years leading up to[ perimenopause](https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/15224-menopause-perimenopause-and-postmenopause#:~:text=Perimenopause%20or%20%22menopause%20transition%22%3A,the%20ovaries%20stop%20releasing%20eggs.). A short cycle, on the other hand, could indicate that ovulation has not occurred. If blood tests reveal this, natural conception may become increasingly difficult. **Menstrual cycle that is too long or too irregular:** Days: Approximately 35 days Ovulation Indicator: Either ovulation isn’t happening or it’s happening sporadically. What Do Longer Cycles Indicate to Your Physician? Longer cycles indicate that ovulation isn’t happening or isn’t happening on a regular basis, making conception problematic. ## What if I never go through Menstruations? Days: Ovulation Indicator: Ovulation may or may not be happening. When you don’t have a period, what does a doctor notice? Either ovulation isn’t taking place or menstrual blood flow is being obstructed. The patient will have problems conceiving naturally if he or she does not receive assistance. You should consult a doctor if you don’t have a normal monthly cycle, regardless of how long you’ve been trying to conceive. Ovulation that is irregular or absent makes conception extremely difficult without medical help. Any woman under the age of 35 who has tried for a year and has not been able to conceive should see an infertility specialist. If you’re 35 or older, have a normal menstrual cycle, and have tried for 6 months without success, you should get treatment. Normal menstruation indicates that you are ovulating; nevertheless, there could be other causes for your inability to conceive, which should also be considered. **Categories:** Blog --- ### [Role of Hysteroscopy In IVF](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/role-of-hysteroscopy-in-ivf/) **Published:** March 22, 2022 **Author:** Dr. Mohit Saraogi **Content:** # Role of Hysteroscopy In IVF by [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/author/drmohitsaraogi/ "Posts by Dr. Mohit Saraogi") | Mar 22, 2022 IVF treatment is a boon for many infertile couples.

It depends on what your goal is. If it’s a routine checkup, then it’s best to book an appointment for a physical exam once every four months or so, advises the best gynecologist in Mumbai. Because some women might be more comfortable scheduling their visits at certain times throughout the month, many doctors offer one-on-one appointments and group appointments during certain hours of the day. If you have questions about your body, your period, or sex life, there are specific types of questions that gynecologists can help with. You should also see a gynecologist if: – You have concerns about your menstrual cycle – You want to get pregnant – Your period lasts longer than eight days – You think you might be pregnant – You have an infection in the vulva or vagina – You suspect that you might be experiencing menopause – You notice any abnormalities in your breasts, such as lumps or pain during pregnancy ## How to prepare for your appointment First, you should make an appointment. When you’re ready to visit the doctor, it’s a good idea to arrive a little early so that you have time to relax and settle into the experience. Make sure you bring anything like your insurance card or a photo ID that might be needed for your visit. Also, remember to wear comfortable clothing and shoes because you’ll want to be able to move around during the exam. Second, it’s essential to prepare yourself mentally for the experience, says Dr. Mohit Saraogi, the best IVF doctor in Mumbai. It can be helpful to give yourself small tasks as you go through your day leading up to your appointment, like taking a deep breath or smiling at strangers passing by. These things will help keep your mind distracted so that when it comes time for the exam, it won’t seem as daunting. Third, try not to stress too much about what will happen during the checkup. The gynecologist staff at [**Saraogi Hospital**](https://saraogihospital.com/), the best IVF centre in Mumbai, are there to help ease any anxiety and provide support throughout the process. Fourth, don’t forget about any questions or concerns that may arise after the physical examination is finished! The gynecologist staff will likely guide you through any post-exam steps necessary before releasing you from their care. ## What to expect during your appointment Typically, your appointment will start with a check-in in the waiting room. You’ll fill out any necessary paperwork and answer questions about your health history during this time. The doctor at the best IVF centre in Mumbai will give you a complete physical examination to ensure no underlying issues need to be addressed. They may also ask if there’s anything they should be aware of or any concerns you may have. The second part of your visit is the gynecologist’s office. They’ll conduct an internal and external exam to rule out medical conditions such as cancer, ectopic pregnancy, [**sexually transmitted infections**](https://www.womenshealth.gov/a-z-topics/sexually-transmitted-infections)(STIs), etc. You’ll listen to what the doctor says during these exams and be given instructions on how to stay healthy from here on out. Finally, the last part of your visit is when all decisions about your care will be made. This includes follow-up appointments, tests, or surgery. If there are no immediate issues that need addressing, the doctor may suggest some lifestyle changes so that these problems don’t arise in the future. ### Bottom line A gynecologist is an essential person in your life. They’re counselors and advocate for you, and you have to make sure they know that. When you visit the gynecologist, be prepared with all the information they need to deliver quality care. **Categories:** Blog --- ### [10+ Ways to Improve Your Chances of Conceiving](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/10-ways-to-improve-your-chances-of-conceiving/) **Published:** May 5, 2022 **Author:** Dr. Mohit Saraogi **Content:** # 10+ Ways to Improve Your Chances of Conceiving by [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/author/drmohitsaraogi/ "Posts by Dr. Mohit Saraogi") | May 5, 2022 ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDgwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjY3NSIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDEwODAgNjc1Ij48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojY2ZkNGRiO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg==) Fertility is one aspect that we all take for granted. Most of us think it is easy to conceive, but that is not so. Some conceive immediately, but for some, it may take some time. There is only a twenty percent chance for a healthy young woman to get pregnant every month. If not conceiving is making you anxious, you can follow these simple steps given by one of the leading [IVF doctor in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/), Dr. Mohit Saraogi, to boost your fertility. ## Eat Healthy Balanced Meals ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI1ODUiIGhlaWdodD0iNTg1IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNTg1IDU4NSI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "multivitamin supplement - Saraogi Hospital") Did you know that being nourished increases your chances of conceiving? So don’t forget to fill your plate up with food rich in vitamin C and D, protein, and iron. Deficiency in these nutrients is linked to a longer [menstrual cycle](https://saraogihospital.com/what-does-your-menstrual-cycle-say-about-your-fertility/), which means less frequent ovulation and an increased risk of early miscarriage. Moreover, you can ask your doctor if you need to take a multivitamin supplement. ## Keep a Healthy Weight ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2ODIiIGhlaWdodD0iNDU3IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjgyIDQ1NyI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "weight - Saraogi Hospital") A healthy weight means not being overweight or underweight, as both can impact your fertility. Excess body fat causes higher levels of certain hormones. It can hamper ovulation, resulting in irregular cycles and affecting your ability to conceive. On the other hand, less body fat leads your body to make fewer hormones that are not sufficient for ovulation each month or sustain a pregnancy. Dr. Mohit Saraogi, an experienced gynecologist in Mumbai,says, “Exercise does help maintain a healthy weight but be careful not to overdo it.” ## Avoid Sexually Transmitted Diseases ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDYiIGhlaWdodD0iNDgxIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjA2IDQ4MSI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "avoid - Saraogi Hospital") Take precautions to prevent sexually transmitted diseases as it is unsafe for your health as well as fertility. It is a known fact that chlamydia and gonorrhea both negatively affect fertility in men and women.It is best to use condoms and limit your sexual partners. ## Take Care of Sperm Health Yes, you read it right. Most of us are so fixated on women’s health, egg quality, ovulation, and so on that we forget that even men are equally responsible for fertility. Sperm health is also essential. The sperm quantity, motility, and morphology all contribute to their health. It is advisable for men to maintain a healthy weight, exercise regularly, and prevent STDs. Furthermore, they should limit their alcohol consumption and smoking and stay away from chemicals and pesticides. Keeping the testicles from getting too hot is a good idea, so keep your cell phones and laptops away from your scrotum and wear loose-fitting underwear. ## Have Regular Sex ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2NTIiIGhlaWdodD0iMzY3IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjUyIDM2NyI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "sex - Saraogi Hospital") Having sex often helps conceive, especially around the woman’s fertile period every month. According to fertility specialists having sex every other day during the ovulation time increases your chances of getting pregnant. ## Be Careful While Choosing the Lubricant ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI1NTkiIGhlaWdodD0iNDIxIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNTU5IDQyMSI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "lubricant - Saraogi Hospital") Some couples need lubrication for intercourse, but be careful which one you use. Some lubricant makes it more difficult for the sperm to fertilize the eggs. So, make a wise choice, or better still, ask your doctor about the right lube that can help in your goal of becoming a parent. ## Limit Your Caffeine Intake ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI1NTMiIGhlaWdodD0iNDA2IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNTUzIDQwNiI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "caffene - Saraogi Hospital") It would help if you watched how much coffee you consume every day. The reason is that caffeine can affect your fertility. So, if you are planning on becoming pregnant, then limit your coffee intake to 200 milligrams daily. ## Drink Alcohol Wisely ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI0MzUiIGhlaWdodD0iNDMyIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNDM1IDQzMiI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "alcohal - Saraogi Hospital") Alcohol can affect your fertility, so watch how much you drink. This is true for both men and women. Dr. Mohit Saraogi, an acclaimed IVF specialist at [Saraogi Hospital](https://saraogihospital.com/), Mumbai, explains that “Excessive alcohol consumption in women can result in ovulation disorders and in men, it can decrease testosterone production; leading to impotence.” ## Stop Smoking ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI1NjUiIGhlaWdodD0iMzcyIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNTY1IDM3MiI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "stop-smoking - Saraogi Hospital") Did you know that smoking causes the ovaries to age? That’s not all. They also harm the woman’s eggs and hamper the process of fertilization and implantation. Smoking is not good even for men. It lowers the production of sperm, decreases motility, and can damage the DNA. ## Stay Away from Toxins ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI0NjIiIGhlaWdodD0iMjczIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNDYyIDI3MyI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "toxic - Saraogi Hospital") Some chemicals can cause infertility. Being exposed to organic solvent, lead, and pesticides can lead to fertility issues. Further, people working as hairstylists, dry cleaners, and agricultural and industrial workers are exposed to chemicals that can harm your fertility. According to studies, it has been found that eating pesticide-treated food decreases [sperm count](https://www.healthline.com/health/mens-health/normal-sperm-count#:~:text=A%20normal%20sperm%20count%20ranges,often%20referred%20to%20as%20oligospermia.) and quality. So, start eating organic food if you are planning to conceive. However, if you are having difficulty getting pregnant, make an appointment at Saraogi Hospital, a well-known and trusted [IVF centre in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/). Our experienced gynecologists will diagnose the cause of your infertility and suggest the best treatment options. We offer world-class fertility treatment at our hospital with affordable IVF cost in Mumbai. **Categories:** Blog --- ### [What Is Low Ovarian Reserve And Ways To Treat It](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/what-is-low-ovarian-reserve-and-ways-to-treat-it/) **Published:** June 4, 2022 **Author:** Dr. Mohit Saraogi **Content:** # What Is Low Ovarian Reserve And Ways To Treat It by [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/author/drmohitsaraogi/ "Posts by Dr. Mohit Saraogi") | Jun 4, 2022 ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDgwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjY3NSIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDEwODAgNjc1Ij48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojY2ZkNGRiO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg==) Did you know that women are born with a limited supply of eggs? Yes, you read it right. You are born with all the eggs, and as time passes, the egg reserve starts diminishing. Low ovarian reserve means your egg quality and quantity are lower than expected at your age. This condition occurs when your ovaries produce lesser eggs which are harder to fertilize. It affects your fertility, making it difficult for you to conceive. **Follow the chart for a better understanding:** ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5NDAiIGhlaWdodD0iMzM2IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTQwIDMzNiI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "image (3) - Saraogi Hospital") **20 weeks of gestation:** 6 to 7 million eggs **Birth:** 1 to 2 million eggs **Puberty:** 300000 to 500000 eggs **Above 37 years:** approximately 25000 eggs **At menopause:** around 1000 eggs As you can see, the number of eggs steadily decreases as we age. But there are other factors also that deplete your egg reserve faster. We have discussed this issue later on in the article. Low ovarian reserve can affect anyone at any age. Luckily, there are treatments availablethat can help you conceive. If you have been trying to get pregnant for more than a year without success, it’s time to seek help. Dr. Mohit Saraogi is a prominent fertility specialist and [gynecologist in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/) having years of experience in helping women with infertility conceive and become a parent. He will diagnose the root cause of your problem and recommend the best treatment options tailored to your needs. You can consult him at Saraogi Hospital, a state-of-the-art [IVF centre in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/) renowned for affordable and effective fertility treatments and procedures. ## What are the causes of low ovarian reserve? The other factors other than ageing that reduce your egg reserves are: - Pelvic infection - Prior ovarian surgery - Endometriosis - Radiation - Chemotherapy - Mumps - Smoking - Autoimmune diseases - Genetic abnormalities - Tubal disease Sometimes, there is no obvious reason for this condition. ## Are there any symptoms of low ovarian reserve? Generally, there are not many symptoms that indicate low egg reserve.However, a woman with this condition may experience: - Heavy menstrual bleeding - Amenorrhea - Short menstrual cycles - Difficulty in conceiving - Miscarriage You need to consult a gynecologist if you face any of the above issues and have a hard time getting pregnant. ## How is low ovarian reserve diagnosed? ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI0OTMiIGhlaWdodD0iMzE2IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNDkzIDMxNiI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "longoivarian - Saraogi Hospital") According to Dr. Mohit Saraogi, one of the leading IVF doctor in Mumbai, you should undergo fertility testing as soon as possible if you are having issues getting pregnant or if you have pelvic inflammatory disease, irregular periods, frequent miscarriages, endometriosis,or prior cancer treatment. Early diagnosis increases your chances of having a successful treatment. Age is very crucial when it comes to fertility. So, if you are below 35 and have no success at conceiving after a year of trying, consult a doctor. If you are above 35 and have been unsuccessfully trying for six months, talk to your doctor, and if you are 40 plus, then visit your doctor without wasting time. Low egg reserve is diagnosed through blood tests that measure anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). These hormones are vital for menses and reproduction. Women having low ovarian reserve will have greater levels of FSH and lower levels of AMH compared to other women their age. The AMH levels decrease as you age, and the FSH levels increase. So, the doctor will analyze the hormone levels according to your age. Further, the doctor may perform a transvaginal ultrasound to check the number of follicles. ## What are the treatment options for low ovarian reserve? Please do not lose hope if you have been diagnosed with low egg reserve. With the help of advanced reproductive medicines and procedures, it is possible to conceive with your own eggs. But remember, early diagnosis offers higher chances of conceiving. ### Preservation ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI1NTYiIGhlaWdodD0iMjk3IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNTU2IDI5NyI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "preservation - Saraogi Hospital") Once it is confirmed that you have a low ovarian reserve, your doctor may advise you to preserve your eggs. The doctor will remove the eggs from your ovaries and will freeze them. Cryopreserving your eggs will allow you to conceive with your eggs later on. However, the younger you are, your eggs are more viable, thus increasing the chances of successful treatment. ### IVF ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MzgiIGhlaWdodD0iNTEwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjM4IDUxMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "IVF - Saraogi Hospital") Your doctor may recommend you to try in vitro fertilization at the earliest. High doses of hormone medications are given to stimulate your ovaries to produce more eggs, which are then retrieved when matured and fertilized outside your body. The fertilized eggs [(embryos](https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/314662)) are then transferred to your uterus. However, if you face multiple IVF failures due to a very low egg reserve or poor ovarian response, you can opt for [donor eggs](https://saraogihospital.com/egg-donor-treatment-in-mumbai/) to get pregnant. Using donor eggs from young women increases your chances of a successful pregnancy. The treatment for low ovarian reserve depends on your personal choice and situation. For more clarity on this subject and to discuss fertility options, you can visit Dr. Mohit Saraogi, an accomplished gynecologist and IVF doctor in Mumbai. **Categories:** Blog --- ### [Important Questions You Must Ask On Your 1st IVF Consultation](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/important-questions-you-must-ask-on-your-1st-ivf-consultation/) **Published:** June 13, 2022 **Author:** Dr. Mohit Saraogi **Content:** # Important Questions You Must Ask On Your 1st IVF Consultation by [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/author/drmohitsaraogi/ "Posts by Dr. Mohit Saraogi") | Jun 13, 2022 ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDgwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjY3NSIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDEwODAgNjc1Ij48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojY2ZkNGRiO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg==) When you make the important decision to see a fertility specialist, your emotions are likely to be running high. For months, if not years, you have carried the burden of loss, despair, and anxiety. Despite everything, you have found the will to act and not give up. But going for an alternate method of having your child can be frightening, especially if you are not sure what to expect and what questions to ask other than the obvious one, “Will I be able to have the baby that I have always wanted?” It can be intimidating to meet with your fertility specialist for the first time, and all of the questions you had prepared on the way seem to have suddenly vanished. The well-known IVF specialist from [Saraogi Hospital](https://saraogihospital.com/), Dr. Mohit Saraogi,says that the following questions can help you get your fertility therapy off to a great start. Saraogi Hospital is one of the best IVF Centres in Mumbai, with sophisticated state-of-the-art technology. ## What tests must be completed before the IVF treatment? It is crucial to understand what tests your IVF specialist will perform, how the results will be communicated, and what medications you will be given throughout the procedure. Do not hesitate to inquire about your doctor’s unique diagnostic procedure and reproductive treatment plan. Your doctor must first determine that your body is healthy enough to carry the pregnancy to term before beginning the IVF treatment. Blood tests will be ordered to evaluate your blood sugar levels, hemoglobin levels, and blood group to rule out any infections and abnormalities. You may also be required to have some fertility tests to screen for PCOS, ovarian reserve, ovulation status, etc. Dr. Mohit Saraogi, among the leading [IVF doctors](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/) in Mumbai, adds that males may also be subjected to a series of semen analyses and blood tests before beginning IVF therapy. ## Will I have to start the IVF treatment immediately? ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MjQiIGhlaWdodD0iNDE2IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjI0IDQxNiI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "image-7 (1) - Saraogi Hospital") The cause of your infertility can aid you, and your doctor in determining a therapy timeline. Some issues, such as endometriosis or decreased ovarian reserve, require immediate attention because they are likely to deteriorate over time. If your infertility is due to a physiological cause, like tubal scarring from a past infection or a hereditary abnormality, you may need to wait for surgical repairs before beginning IVF treatment. If you have a hormonal imbalance, such as a thyroid problem, prescribed medicine or supplementation may help you feel better over time. ## Is there a cut-off age for treatment? The chances of conceiving through an IVF treatment decrease as you grow older. So it would be best if you spoke with the eminent [gynecologist](https://saraogihospital.com/best-gynecologist-in-mumbai/) in Mumbai, Dr. Mohit Saraogi, first to discuss your specific case and treatment strategy. In IVF, success rates drop as the danger of pregnancy difficulties grows with age. To estimate the likelihood of success, we examine each patient individually and consider a number of parameters. Our knowledgeable physicians and team will be there for you through every step to maximize the chances of your success. ## What treatment should we try first? Your doctor may recommend starting with less invasive and expensive fertility treatments like [IUI](https://saraogihospital.com/iui-treatment-in-mumbai/) (Intrauterine Insemination) before progressing to ART (Assisted Reproductive Technologies) like [IVF](https://saraogihospital.com/infertility-treatment-mumbai/) and advanced techniques like [ICSI](https://saraogihospital.com/icsi-treatment-in-mumbai/) and [IMSI](https://saraogihospital.com/imsi-treatment-in-mumbai/), depending on your unique circumstances. Alternatively, they may advise you to go directly to an IVF treatment. This is a personal decision that should be taken based on your age, condition, and financial situation. According to Dr. Mohit Saraogi,understanding what to expect as you go along and why you made a particular decision will make you feel more confident as you advance through the process. ## What is the success rate of IVF treatment? Younger ladies have a better chance of IVF success. The factors that reduce the chances of a successful IVF include being a woman over 37 years with fewer eggs and the lower quality of a more developed lady’s eggs. As a result, the live birth rate through IVF therapy in Mumbai is 40% for women below 35. ## What are my options if the treatment does not succeed? You can consider IVF if IUI fails. If your first IVF cycle fails, you might be able to try a [FET](https://saraogihospital.com/frozen-embryo-transfer-treatment-in-mumbai/) (frozen embryo transfer) with a blastocyst that was leftover. You have numerous alternatives to consider, from ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection) to genetic testing, donor eggs, and [sperm](https://saraogihospital.com/donor-sperm-procedure-in-mumbai/) to IVF surrogacy. Allow your doctor to provide you with a hypothetical route map. ## Do you perform fresh or FET (frozen embryo transfer)? The success rate of frozen embryo transfers is higher than that of fresh embryo transfers. Frozen embryo transfer is recommended for the majority of patients. With a FET, you already have the embryos that have been generated and stored for future use. As a result, if the first attempt fails, you will not have to go through yet another egg retrieval cycle. When you opt to freeze your embryos, you can also have PGT (Preimplantation genetic testing) done on them to screen for any chromosomal abnormalities. Dr. Mohit Saraogi, an acclaimed IVF doctor in Mumbai, adds that knowing which embryos have the appropriate chromosomes will help avoid chromosome-related disorders and boost your chances of delivering a healthy baby. ## How long is the entire IVF process? The ovarian stimulation and egg retrieval cycle take 10-14 days on average; however, this can vary depending on how the patient’s body reacts to the drugs. This timeframe begins when the patient takes ovarian stimulation medication and ends with the egg retrieval process. After the embryos have been fertilized and biopsied, the genetic testing results take around 2 weeks to arrive. Once we have the embryo results, you will be able to plan for the embryo transfer cycle. Each case of a frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycle can differ due to various circumstances. The embryo transfer operation is typically performed between day 19 and day 21 of the patient’s menstrual cycle. Then, about 10 days after implantation, a pregnancy blood test is performed. We will closely monitor your pregnancy until the OB ultrasound at 10 weeks. You will then be discharged to the OB’s care after a 10-week OB ultrasound. ## Would you recommend a single or multiple embryo transfer? IVF doctors once employed multiple Embryo Transfers to boost success rates. The theory was that if more than one embryo were implanted, the strongest or the best would be more likely to succeed. ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDI0IiBoZWlnaHQ9IjgwNiIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDEwMjQgODA2Ij48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojY2ZkNGRiO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg== "shutterstock_202930813-1024x806 - Saraogi Hospital") Today’s approach, on the other hand, is entirely different. With today’s technology and PGT-A (preimplantation genetic testing), our IVF specialist strongly advises a Single Embryo Transfer technique to lower the possibility of twins, high-risk pregnancies, and miscarriages. Our IVF doctor selects and transfers one high-quality embryo for improved pregnancy success rates. ## Should I be prepared for any side effects? Infertility treatment can be physically and mentally demanding. Most patients experience minimal discomfort and disturbance during their cycles, but you must be made fully aware of any potential adverse effects. If you have trouble, it might help you plan your job and treatment routine to allow you enough time to take care of yourself. Most importantly, it will enable you to keep track of your symptoms to report any possible issues to the clinic before they become more serious. ## How much will the IVF treatment cost in Mumbai?

The fertilized eggs are then implanted into the woman’s uterus, where they are expected to grow and develop into healthy babies. IVF is often considered a last resort fertility treatment; however, it can be a successful fertility treatment option for couples who have been struggling to conceive for an extended period of time. If your attempts at conceiving have not yielded any result for over a year, please consult the IVF specialist Dr. Mohit Saraogi at Saraogi Hospital & IRIS IVF Centre, a state-of-the-art [IVF centre in Mumbai.](https://saraogihospital.com/) ## What are the steps involved in an IVF treatment in Mumbai? ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2OTgiIGhlaWdodD0iNDc2IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjk4IDQ3NiI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "ivf - Saraogi Hospital") The IVF treatment in Mumbai covers approximately 4 – 6 weeks involving the following steps that the highly-skilled infertility specialist, Dr. Mohit Saraogi, performs with his team of trained fertility experts: - **Stimulation –** The first stage of IVF is stimulation. Our fertility specialist will administer medications and antioxidants to encourage your ovaries to release multiple eggs, boosting the likelihood of pregnancy. You will start receiving hormone-based injections on the 2nd day of your period to stimulate the development of several follicles in your ovaries. The fertility specialist will use blood tests and ultrasound to track the development of the eggs in your ovaries. - **Trigger –** A trigger injection will be given to you after stimulation when the bulk of the follicles reaches the ideal size range of 16 – 18 mm. - **Egg Retrieval –** In this step, you will be administered mild anesthesia, and the fertility expert will retrieve the eggs from your ovaries with a hollow needle attached to an ultrasonography probe. Following egg retrieval, you will be instructed to take medications that will get the lining of your womb ready for embryo transfer. - **Sperm Retrieval –** The fertility specialist will request a sample of semen from your partner at this stage. The specimens are adequately cleansed after the sample of semen is taken, and the fertility specialist will pick the sperms with the best motility. These sperms are frequently used to fertilize fresh eggs or can be frozen to be utilized later. - **Egg Fertilization –** The eggs taken out of a woman’s ovaries will either be fertilized by [intracytoplasmic sperm injection](https://saraogihospital.com/icsi-treatment-in-mumbai/) (ICSI) or by conventional IVF, which involves putting the sperm and eggs in an IVF culture dish. Laboratory professionals will constantly observe the maturation of the egg to verify fertilization. - **Blastocyst culture –** After the eggs are fertilized, a vital phase called embryo development occurs before the embryos reach full maturity, often referred to as blastocyst embryos. This crucial step takes about 3- 6 days. - **Embryo transfer –** The medical professional will place a catheter – a thin, long, flexible tube – in your vagina, down your cervix, and into your uterus. The catheter’s tip is connected to a syringe that holds single or multiple embryos immersed in a small volume of fluid. - **Pregnancy test –** You will be required to visit the IVF centre for a pregnancy test 14 days after the embryo transfer. If the highly accomplished[ IVF doctor in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/), Dr. Mohit Saraogi, can detect a sac in your womb and hear your baby’s heartbeat using ultrasonography, it will confirm your pregnancy. ## Who is a good candidate for IVF? **IVF is a successful treatment of infertility for almost anyone, especially for people having:** - Problem ovulating - Obstruction or damage in the fallopian tube - Endometriosis - Pelvic adhesions - Poor semen quality - Unexplained infertility - Prolonged infertility If you or your partner is facing any of these issues, do not hesitate to speak with Dr. Mohit Saraogi. He is a very knowledgeable and experienced IVF specialist who has helped many people fulfill their dream of becoming a parent. ## What is the cost of IVF treatment in Mumbai? Although it is commonly considered that only the wealthy and well-known can afford in vitro fertilization (IVF), we wish to point out that the price of IVF treatment in Mumbai is affordable, particularly at the IRIS IVF Center in Saraogi Hospital. While the average [IVF cost in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/ivf-cost-in-mumbai/) is between ₹1,50,000 and ₹2,50,000, it will likely cost you between ₹90,000 and ₹1,000,000 at Saraogi Hospital. The cost of IVF treatment varies significantly in Mumbai; on one end, there are high-end clinics charging more than 3,00,000 for a single IVF cycle, and in some clinics, the cost of the medication is not included. On the other end, there is IRIS, one of the best IVF centres in Mumbai. With our incredibly affordable IVF prices, you can receive high-quality care for approximately ₹75,000 per cycle. ## What is the success rate of IVF Treatment in Mumbai? The primary variable that has the biggest impact on IVF success rates is your age. With their first IVF egg harvest and subsequent embryo transfer(s), women under the age of 35 have roughly a 50/50 chance of becoming pregnant. Women who do not become pregnant after their initial IVF cycle nevertheless stand a solid chance of doing so after their subsequent second, third, and even further cycles. Dr. Mohit Saraogi suggests that you freeze your eggs or embryos if you plan to delay becoming pregnant. The frozen embryo can be thawed for a [FET](https://saraogihospital.com/frozen-embryo-transfer-treatment-in-mumbai/) (frozen embryo transfer) procedure when you are ready to have a child. The top-notch fertility specialist Dr. Mohit Saraogi, with an IVF treatment success rate of 45%, is one of the preferred doctors for people seeking [infertility treatment](https://saraogihospital.com/infertility-treatment-mumbai/) options. ## Conclusion ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5NzUiIGhlaWdodD0iNjUwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTc1IDY1MCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "image (4) - Saraogi Hospital") [Parenthood](https://www.parents.com/parenting/better-parenting/the-real-joys-of-being-a-mom/) is a feeling of pure love and happiness. When you see your child for the first time, you know you will do anything to make them happy and protect them. Fertility issues can hamper your desire to have a child. It can make you feel alienated and incomplete. Infertility can cause anxiety and frustration, and quite often, it creates an unhealthy distance between the trying couple. Do not let your fertility issues create emptiness in your relationship and life.

Fortunately, advancement in medical science provides a ray of hope to them. There are several fertility treatments that help them conceive and have a child, and intrauterine insemination (IUI) is one of them. Most infertile couples start their fertility treatment with IUI. It is a minimally-invasive, low-cost procedure having a success rate of 15 to 20%. That’s the main reason why [IUI treatment in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/iui-treatment-in-mumbai/) is one of the most opted fertility procedures in the city. If you are facing issues conceiving, you can visit Saraogi Hospital & IRIS IVF Centre, one of the best [IVF Centre In Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/). It offers the latest reproductive treatments and procedures under top fertility specialists. This article will discuss IUI and how you can [improve your chances of conceiving](https://saraogihospital.com/10-ways-to-improve-your-chances-of-conceiving/). Dr. Mohit Saraogi, a renowned [IUI specialist in Mumbai](https://www.clinicspots.com/intra-uterine-insemination-iui/mumbai), has provided valuable tips which will help optimize your results. **So, let’s get started.** **But first,** ## Let us understand what IUI is. ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI3OTUiIGhlaWdodD0iNDc0IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNzk1IDQ3NCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "iui - Saraogi Hospital") Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is a fertility treatment that involves placing sperm directly into the woman’s uterus. This is done with the intention of increasing the chances of fertilization. During an IUI, the fertility specialist will use a small catheter to inject a man’s sperm directly into a woman’s uterus. It is usually done at the same time as the woman is ovulating. **Given below are tips to make your IUI procedure a success.** ## Avoid strenuous workouts After an IUI procedure, the patient is kept under observation for some time before they are allowed to go home the same day. Though bed rest is not required, it would be better if you go home and rest for a day. You can resume your normal routine but take care not to do any strenuous activities. Doing light exercises such as yoga, walking, and light aerobics is fine, but refrain from doing any strenuous exercises such as jogging, weight lifting, swimming, etc., as it can trigger early contractions that can hamper implantation. ## Eat healthily ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI1NjUiIGhlaWdodD0iMzc4IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNTY1IDM3OCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "nutrition - Saraogi Hospital") Dr. Mohit Saraogi advises having a balanced, nutritious diet [after IUI treatment](https://saraogihospital.com/light-bleeding-after-14-days-of-iui/). Having good physical and mental health optimizes the chances of fertilization. Increasing your intake of proteins is beneficial so include foods such as flax seeds, eggs, whole grains, and nuts in your diet. ## Visit your fertility specialist Your hormone levels have to be proper for a successful pregnancy. So, visiting your doctor helps as they will monitor your hormone levels and provide the necessary assistance. ## Have a healthy lifestyle A healthy lifestyle can increase the likelihood of getting pregnant following IUI, explains Dr. Mohit Saraogi, one of the best [IVF doctor in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/). You must cease smoking and consuming alcohol before and after IUI because they are bad for your overall health and may result in abnormalities in your unborn child. Reducing junk food consumption is also advised. After IUI, avoid sugary sodas, eating leftovers, salty and spicy snacks, and raw food. Additionally, you must avoid hazardous chemicals and radiation because they can harm the eggs and sperm or have an adverse effect on your child’s immune system. ## Taking progesterone after IUI It is also crucial to take the meds exactly as directed. To thicken your uterine lining and ready your uterus for embryo implantation, your doctor may advise taking progesterone supplements. Please note that you should only take or stop medications with your doctor’s approval. Do not take any medicines without your doctor’s consent. ## Avoid stress ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MjUiIGhlaWdodD0iNDY5IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjI1IDQ2OSI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "image-2 (2) - Saraogi Hospital") The worst thing you can do after IUI treatment is to take the stress. It has an effect on your body’s hormonal balance, which in turn can affect your chance of having a healthy pregnancy. ## Refrain from swimming Swimming must be avoided for 48 hours following insemination, even though it has no direct bearing on the efficacy of an IUI treatment. Given the high risk of contracting [infections](https://www.healthline.com/health/pregnancy/infections), you must avoid pool water. ## Backup plan The road to becoming pregnant can be difficult and demanding. You may have to undergo several IUI cycles for a positive result. If one fails, you can undergo the next one after three months. However, after three IUI cycles, the doctor may revise the fertility plan and recommend [IVF treatment](https://saraogihospital.com/ivf-a-viable-and-affordable-infertility-treatment/) if a couple is still unable to conceive. IVF is a more advanced fertility treatment in which the eggs and sperm are fertilized outside the body in the lab, and the resultant embryo is transferred to the woman’s uterus. You can visit Saraogi Hospital, one of the best IVF Centre in Mumbai, for added information and guidance regarding fertility treatment. Here you are assured of personalized, world-class treatments at an affordable price. **Categories:** Blog --- ### [Top 7 Myths About Infertility and IVF Debunked](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/top-7-myths-about-infertility-and-ivf-debunked/) **Published:** October 19, 2022 **Author:** Dr. Mohit Saraogi **Content:** # Top 7 Myths About Infertility and IVF Debunked by [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/author/drmohitsaraogi/ "Posts by Dr. Mohit Saraogi") | Oct 19, 2022 ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDgwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjY3NSIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDEwODAgNjc1Ij48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojY2ZkNGRiO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg==) Infertility is the inability to get pregnant after a year of regular, [unprotected sex](https://saraogihospital.com/when-is-the-perfect-time-to-have-intercourse-to-become-pregnant/). Wanting to have a child and being unable to get pregnant can be heartbreaking. The process of conceiving may not always be as simple as you think. Many myths and misunderstandings surround the topic of infertility. Even though medical science has developed many interventions and technologies, such as IVF help people with pregnancy, many of them are still misunderstood. So, let’s dispel some widespread misconceptions about IVF and infertility. Nowadays, if a couple cannot conceive naturally, they turn to [in-vitro fertilization (IVF)](https://saraogihospital.com/ivf-a-viable-and-affordable-infertility-treatment/). Due to in-vitro fertilization’s high success rate on a global scale, demand for the procedure has increased over the past ten years. However, there are a few IVF myths that need to be demystified. Saraogi IVF Hospital is a well-established and one of the [best IVF centres in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/). The facility comprises a team of skilled and seasoned gynecologists who work hard to provide you with the most accurate diagnosis and effective infertility treatment in Mumbai. ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MjIiIGhlaWdodD0iNjQyIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTIyIDY0MiI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "image - Saraogi Hospital") At the [Saraogi IVF Centre](https://saraogihospital.com/about/), we offer cutting-edge treatments for all forms of infertility to help people conceive who are dealing with infertility. The medical head of Saraogi IVF Centre, Dr. Mohit Saraogi, is one of the [best IVF doctors in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/). He has devoted his professional life to assisting couples facing problems in conceiving. **Now, let’s discuss the most common seven misconceptions about infertility and IVF.** ## Myth#1: Infertility only results from problems in the woman. **Fact:** Male and [female ](https://saraogihospital.com/how-can-female-infertility-be-treated-using-ivf/)partners almost equally contribute to the causes of infertility. Additionally, the causes are usually multiple. Finding one cause (for example, a woman’s blocked fallopian tubes or a man’s low sperm count) does not rule out the possibility of other reasons. To save time, money, and emotional energy, a fertility specialist, should perform a thorough diagnosis. ## Myth#2: Older women tend to struggle with infertility. **Fact:** Several factors, some of which may occasionally affect both men and women in their early reproductive years, contribute to infertility. Young women are frequently affected by conditions like PCOS and [endometriosis](https://saraogihospital.com/is-it-possible-to-get-pregnant-with-endometriosis/), which frequently affect fertility. Other ailments like autoimmune disorders or [cancer ](https://saraogihospital.com/oncologists-mumbai/)may also affect fertility. Additionally, behavioural and environmental factors may be at play. When a woman reaches her mid-thirties, her ovarian reserve begins to decline significantly, but we also see young women with [lower egg reserves](https://saraogihospital.com/what-is-low-ovarian-reserve-and-ways-to-treat-it/). Not all older women will have trouble getting pregnant, and not all young couples will have no problem conceiving. ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI0MjciIGhlaWdodD0iMjg1IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNDI3IDI4NSI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Infertility - Saraogi Hospital") ## Myth#3: If you had your first child easily, the next pregnancy would also go smoothly. **Fact:** There is no surefire way to know. Your age might be the only thing that has changed since having your first child. You are older now. You might not have as much time to engage in spontaneous sex. There could be new issues that have emerged. There may be less sperm count in your partner. Your fallopian tube or tubes might be blocked. Your egg supply might have been diminished. Speak to your gynecologist if you are under 35 and have been trying to conceive for a year (even if it is for your second child) (six months if you are over 35). ## Myth#4: IVF is the only option for infertile couples to conceive. IVF is not always necessary. Other treatments are available, including ovulation induction, [IUI](https://saraogihospital.com/iui-treatment-in-mumbai/), sperm-improving drugs, minimally invasive fertility-enhancing procedures, etc. These less complex treatment options make it simple for many couples to get pregnant. ## Myth#5: IVF lowers your ovarian reserve by removing eggs you would otherwise have. **Fact:** A group of eggs that may mature in that month are recruited by your body at the start of each cycle. Most of the time, only one egg develops and is released (ovulation), and the rest of the eggs in the group perishes. For IVF, all of the naturally recruited eggs for that month are stimulated so they can all develop. For the other eggs, nothing occurs (which are not part of the group recruited for that cycle). ## Myth#6: If you undergo IVF, you will have twins or triplets. Not the IVF as a whole; the number of embryos transferred to the womb during the IVF procedure increases your chances of having multiple children. In the past, doctors would transfer two or more embryos to achieve a [successful pregnancy](https://saraogihospital.com/10-ways-to-improve-your-chances-of-conceiving/), significantly increasing the likelihood of twins or triplets. Thanks to technological advances, we now better understand which embryos stand the best chance. Your IVF doctor can [discuss ](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/)with you about transferring one embryo at a time. ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDI0IiBoZWlnaHQ9IjY4MyIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDEwMjQgNjgzIj48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojY2ZkNGRiO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg== "The small baby lies on the bed - Saraogi Hospital") ## Myth#7: IVF always results in a successful pregnancy. Any fertility procedure, including IVF, cannot guarantee a pregnancy. The most crucial thing to understand about IVF is that it is not always successful and can negatively impact your life in terms of time, money, and even emotions. The female partner’s age is the most crucial factor in determining whether an IVF cycle will be successful. The majority of the factors that affect success are out of your control. However, many ways to improve your success include eating a well-balanced diet, exercising regularly, getting enough sleep, taking particular supplements, etc. Of course, the fertility clinic and doctor you select also impact the outcomes. Thanks to in-vitro fertilization, a ray of hope exists for couples who have failed to conceive naturally. Research and development are actively working to improve the procedure’s efficiency and effectiveness, despite a few [drawbacks](https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/in-vitro-fertilization/about/pac-20384716). **Categories:** Blog --- ### [Frozen Embryo Transfers: 6 Things to Know](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/frozen-embryo-transfers-6-things-to-know/) **Published:** November 17, 2022 **Author:** Dr. Mohit Saraogi **Content:** # Frozen Embryo Transfers: 6 Things to Know by [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/author/drmohitsaraogi/ "Posts by Dr. Mohit Saraogi") | Nov 17, 2022 ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDgwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjY3NSIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDEwODAgNjc1Ij48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojY2ZkNGRiO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg==) Thanks to advancements in medical science, technology, and clinician expertise, individuals facing infertility and other reproductive issues can get pregnant and experience the joy of parenthood with the help of assisted reproductive techniques like in vitro fertilization (IVF). The extensive IVF treatment necessitates commitment and adherence to your doctor’s recommendations. Your [IVF doctor in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/) may inform you about techniques such as frozen embryo transfer (FET) to increase your chances of pregnancy through IVF. FET involves thawing the frozen embryos from the previous IVF cycle and transferring them to the women’s uterus to achieve pregnancy. Over the years, Saraogi [IVF Centre in Mumbai ](https://saraogihospital.com/)has introduced several cutting-edge fertility treatments that have helped thousands of couples overcome infertility and have children. One such advanced fertility treatment the center offers is the [frozen embryo transfer treatment](https://saraogihospital.com/frozen-embryo-transfer-treatment-in-mumbai/) in Mumbai. If you need more than one cycle to become pregnant, frozen embryo transfers can improve your chances of becoming pregnant per egg retrieval while saving you time and money. Due to increased [success rates](https://saraogihospital.com/success-rates-with-ivf-after-iui-failure/), frozen embryo transfer treatment in Mumbai has grown in popularity as a viable alternative to consider before beginning a fresh IVF cycle. **First, let’s learn,** ## How are Embryos Frozen? - Developing an embryo in a frozen transfer is the same as in a fresh transfer. - Initially, the doctor removes eggs from the woman’s ovaries. Further, these eggs are incubated with the male partner’s or [donor’s sperm](https://saraogihospital.com/donor-sperm-procedure-in-mumbai/) in an IVF lab to achieve fertilization and, ultimately, the formation of embryos. Then, the resulting embryos are allowed to mature for five to six days in the lab. - Based on the woman’s condition and the IVF doctor’s recommendation, fresh embryo transfer can be done right away. ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI4NjMiIGhlaWdodD0iMzY1IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgODYzIDM2NSI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "ivf - Saraogi Hospital") - After transferring the fresh embryos to the uterus, the left-over embryos can be cryopreserved if you want to. The frozen embryos can be transferred in the future if the earlier transfer [fails to achieve pregnancy](https://saraogihospital.com/management-of-failed-ivf-cycle-treatment/). - The vitrification process, a quick flash-freezing technique, is used to freeze the embryos. During this procedure, the embryos are treated with cryoprotectants to protect them from the effects of the freezing and thawing process. - Then, the embryos undergo a rapid freezing process. It prevents ice crystallization of water molecules present in the embryo. As a result, a glass-like structure is formed that can remain frozen for an indeterminate period. **Now that you know how embryos are frozen let’s discuss some important things about frozen embryo transfer before considering it.** ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI4OTgiIGhlaWdodD0iNDE4IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgODk4IDQxOCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "frozen - Saraogi Hospital") ## 1. Increasing the chances of pregnancy from one fresh IVF cycle After transferring the resulting fresh embryos, patients have the choice to freeze the remaining good-quality blastocyst-stage embryos for use in later cycles, referred to as frozen embryo transfer or FET cycle. ## 2. Frozen embryo transfers are simpler to undergo than fresh transfers Patients who undergo a frozen embryo transfer cycle can easily recognize the difference between the FET cycle and an earlier fresh IVF cycle. **Less time investment:** A FET cycle requires fewer appointments than a fresh IVF cycle because the ovaries are not stimulated to produce more eggs. In fact, a FET cycle often involves three appointments. - **Baseline Check –** Your doctor may perform an intravaginal ultrasound at the initial appointment to examine the thickness of the uterine lining at the beginning of the cycle. - **Lining Check –** The uterine lining is examined a few days before the planned transfer. The doctor will check for a thick, “fluffy” lining, which is ideal for embryo implantation and conception. - **Embryo Transfer –** The frozen embryos will be thawed at the IVF lab on the day of the transfer. This is the same process a patient would go through with a fresh IVF or [donor egg cycle](https://saraogihospital.com/egg-donor-treatment-in-mumbai/), which doesn’t involve sedation or other drugs. **More predictable:** The added advantage is that FETs are well-planned and rarely vary from the original procedure. Most changes occur during the stimulation phase of a fresh IVF cycle. Timing in a FET cycle is predictable and effectively planned from beginning to end because ovarian stimulation is not needed. Before the embryo transfer, the doctor prescribes medication, typically oestrogen and progesterone in oil, to help prepare and thicken the uterine lining. Throughout the cycle, the dosage of the medicine stays the same. ## 3. FET cycles cost lesser amount than a fresh IVF cycle Cost is probably one of the best advantages of FET cycles. The [cost of treatment](https://saraogihospital.com/ivf-cost-in-mumbai/) is reduced by using frozen embryo transfers, a less invasive option. The fees for a FET cycle are about one-third that of a stimulated IVF cycle, and the cost of the medications is as little as 10%. ## 4. Frozen embryo transfers have success rates almost identical to those of a fresh IVF cycle - The [success rates](https://saraogihospital.com/frozen-embryo-transfer-on-day-22-of-cycle/) of FET cycles have significantly increased in recent years thanks to developments in embryo freezing technology, particularly vitrification. - Only high-quality blastocyst-stage embryos are chosen to freeze because neither patients nor doctors want unnecessary treatment, which has helped to increase success rates significantly. - Pregnancy rates for FET cycles completed using the vitrification freezing technique are almost identical to those seen with a fresh IVF cycle. ## 5. Freezing every cycle might increase your chances of getting pregnant - Several studies have shown a connection between higher hormone levels in a woman’s body, such as progesterone, and lower implantation and pregnancy rates. - The best method for increasing the chances of pregnancy if hormone levels are higher than normally expected during a regular (unstimulated) [menstrual cycle](https://saraogihospital.com/what-does-your-menstrual-cycle-say-about-your-fertility/) is to freeze the embryos produced and then transfer them after hormone levels have returned to normal. - Your doctor might advise using this freeze-all strategy if your hormone levels are high at the end of an IVF cycle. - Eggs will be collected, developed into embryos, and then frozen. The transfer typically takes place during the next month’s menstrual cycle. - Patients ultimately decide whether to proceed with a fresh transfer or freeze all embryos after consulting their doctor. ## 6. Frozen embryos do not have an expiry date - You can be sure that the embryos will stay as healthy as the day they were frozen, whether you wait a few months before starting the next cycle or a few years between having babies one and two. - Patients can take as much time as necessary in between cycles thanks to [vitrification](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32106970/#:~:text=Vitrification%20makes%20it%20possible%20to,for%20in%20vitro%20fertilization%20patients.), which suspends the time of frozen embryos and eggs.While eggs or embryos are vitrified, there is no aging, and they are thought to maintain their quality indefinitely. - The success rate associated with frozen embryos when a woman is 35 will remain the same even if her transfer doesn’t take place for several years. - It is an added benefit for patients waiting several years between their freeze and transfer. It is not advised that patients in their [late 30s or 40s](https://saraogihospital.com/the-benefits-and-risk-of-pregnancy-after-40/) wait an excessive amount of time. - **Categories:** Blog --- ### [9-Week Ectopic Pregnancy Surgery](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/9-week-ectopic-pregnancy-surgery/) **Published:** December 23, 2022 **Author:** Dr. Mohit Saraogi **Content:** # 9-Week Ectopic Pregnancy Surgery by [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/author/drmohitsaraogi/ "Posts by Dr. Mohit Saraogi") | Dec 23, 2022 ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDgwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjY3NSIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDEwODAgNjc1Ij48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojY2ZkNGRiO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg==) An ectopic pregnancy is a pregnancy that develops outside the womb, mainly in the fallopian tubes. They are relatively rare, occurring in about 1-2% of pregnancies. It cannot continue to term and can be life-threatening to the mother if not treated promptly. Symptoms of ectopic pregnancy may include abdominal pain, shoulder pain, dizziness or fainting, and vaginal bleeding. If left untreated, an ectopic pregnancy can rupture and cause internal bleeding. It is essential to seek medical attention as soon as possible if you suspect that you may have an ectopic pregnancy. Early diagnosis and intervention, led by [experienced fertility specialists](https://www.clinicspots.com/ivf/mumbai), can mitigate risks, prevent severe complications, and preserve fertility. You can visit [**Saraogi Hospital**](https://saraogihospital.com/) for prompt and effective treatment. They have decades of experience in women’s health and reproductive medicine.

However, not all ectopic pregnancies are diagnosed at nine weeks. Dr. Mohit Saraogi, one of the best obstetrician in Mumbai and an **[IVF](https://saraogihospital.com/ivf-cost-in-mumbai/)** specialist, explains, “Some ectopic pregnancies may not be diagnosed until later, while others may be diagnosed earlier. Usually, ectopic pregnancy develops between the 4th to 12th week of pregnancy.” **The most common treatment for an ectopic pregnancy is surgery, which includes:** ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI3ODIiIGhlaWdodD0iMzMyIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNzgyIDMzMiI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "ima - Saraogi Hospital") ## Laparoscopic surgery: This is a minimally invasive procedure in which a laparoscope is inserted through minor cuts in the abdomen. The laparoscope allows the surgeon to see inside the abdomen and remove the ectopic pregnancy. ## Laparotomy: This is a more invasive procedure in which a larger cut is made in the abdomen. It may be necessary if the ectopic pregnancy has caused significant damage to the fallopian tube or if laparoscopic surgery is not possible. ## Salpingectomy: This procedure involves removing the fallopian tube in which the ectopic pregnancy is located. If the tube is severely damaged, it may be necessary to remove it to prevent future ectopic pregnancies or other complications. “The type of surgery chosen will depend on the location and size of the ectopic pregnancy, as well as the overall health of the patient,” says Dr. Mohit Saraogi. “In some cases, we may use medication to dissolve the ectopic pregnancy or stop its growth, but this is not always possible or advisable.” After surgery, the patient will need to rest and recover. It is vital to follow the doctor’s instructions and attend any follow-up appointments as recommended. ## What are the causes of ectopic pregnancy? ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI4MjgiIGhlaWdodD0iNDUzIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgODI4IDQ1MyI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "image - Saraogi Hospital") **The causes for ectopic pregnancy include:** 1\. Previous ectopic pregnancy 2\. Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) 3\. Endometriosis 4\. Previous surgery on the fallopian tubes 5\. Becoming pregnant through IVF 6\. Smoking 7\. Advanced age 8\. Conceiving while using birth control methods like IUD, or IUS ## What is the recovery time for ectopic pregnancy surgery? An ectopic pregnancy surgery recovery time can vary depending on several factors, including the patient’s overall health, the extent of the surgery, and any complicating factors. Some common side effects after ectopic pregnancy surgery are swelling, bleeding, pain, and fever. The doctor will prescribe medications to manage the side effects. Most people can return to normal activities within a few days to a week, although some may need more time to recover fully. Following the doctor’s instructions and caring for oneself after the surgery is necessary. It may include getting plenty of rest, taking prescribed medications as directed, and avoiding strenuous activities. ## What are the ways to prevent ectopic pregnancy? Here are some ways to reduce the risk of ectopic pregnancy: 1\. Use contraception 2\. Avoid smoking 3\. Get treated for sexually transmitted infections 4\. Consider fertility treatments 5\. Seek medical attention if you think you may be pregnant You can visit Saraogi Hospital for regular check-ups and discuss pregnancy concerns. The highly experienced obstetrician in Mumbai at the hospital can help you understand your risk for ectopic pregnancy and provide guidance on how to reduce it. ## Is it possible to have a baby in the future? If you have had an ectopic pregnancy, speak with your healthcare provider about your future fertility and the possibility of having a successful pregnancy. There is a chance that you may be able to have a successful pregnancy in the future after an ectopic pregnancy. However, the likelihood of this happening may depend on several factors, including the severity of the ectopic pregnancy, the amount of damage to the fallopian tubes or other reproductive organs, and the overall health of your reproductive system. It is generally recommended that you wait at least three months after an ectopic pregnancy before trying to conceive again. This is because the fallopian tube that was affected by the ectopic pregnancy may still be healing and may not be fully functional. It is also crucial to take steps to increase your chances of a healthy pregnancy, such as getting regular [pre-pregnancy check-ups](https://www.webmd.com/guide/your-pre-pregnancy-to-do-list), managing chronic conditions, eating a healthy diet, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption. It may also be helpful to consult an expert fertility specialist like Dr. Mohit Saraogi. He can provide specialized care and support if you are experiencing **[fertility challenges](https://saraogihospital.com/infertility-treatment-mumbai/).** You can schedule an appointment with him at Saraogi Hospital, a leading IVF centre in Mumbai. ## Frequently Asked Questions ##### Can pregnancy be ectopic at 9 weeks?

As age progresses, getting pregnant becomes even more difficult. This is when infertility treatments come into the picture. Lifestyle, profession, and existing stress levels in their lives are some of the external factors that are the prime causes of infertility in men and women. Infertility and [IVF specialist in Mumbai](https://www.clinicspots.com/ivf/mumbai), Dr. Mohit Saraogi, gets numerous patients at his [**Saraogi hospital**](https://saraogihospital.com/), who approach him to seek a solution for their condition and get treatment. He explains that there are various methods of diagnosing the exact cause of your [**infertility**](https://saraogihospital.com/infertility-treatment-mumbai/). ![Pregnancy success after hysteroscopy](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDIiIGhlaWdodD0iMzk3IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAyIDM5NyI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "- Saraogi Hospital") There are blood tests, Sonography, [**laparoscopy**](https://saraogihospital.com/laparoscopic-surgery-mumbai/), and if the results are inconclusive in women, then hysteroscopy. Dr. Mohit explains how it is beneficial to undergo a **[hysteroscopy](https://saraogihospital.com/what-is-hysteroscopy/)** to get a thorough diagnosis to improve your chances of pregnancy to term, especially if you are prone to recurrent miscarriages. He especially recommends the procedure if you have occurrences of failed IVF. Today’s article focuses on Pregnancy success after hysteroscopy and how hysteroscopy improves your chances of pregnancy, As we know a procedure carried out to examine the uterus internally is called hysteroscopy. Now let’s know, ## Pregnancy success after hysteroscopy: In case any anomalies are present, your doctor will eliminate those during the procedure itself unless the condition demands otherwise. So, in simple words, what started as a diagnostic procedure becomes an operative one in instances of abnormality found. Often when hysteroscopy is used to treat infertility conditions like endometriosis or polyps, research has shown that of the total number of women who undergo hysteroscopic polypectomy have a 50% higher success rate of getting pregnant and delivering the child at full-term labour. The same research that was conducted in 2007 shows that the rate of relapse of polyps was 4.9% Other research was conducted to determine if antibiotics should be combined with hysteroscopic procedures to improve the chances of pregnancy, and the result was found otherwise. Simply speaking, just a hysteroscopic procedure is enough to improve your chances of pregnancy and to full term. ## Success Story: Of the numerous couples that approach him for infertility, Dr. Saraogi remembers this instance of a couple in the age group of 35 -40 yrs approaching him to seek treatment and get pregnant. Dr. Mohit undertook the case, and the couple underwent diagnostic tests for their infertility. The woman was suffering from PCOD and was put on fertility treatment. After treating her for a year, her sonography reports showed promising results, and her menstrual cycle had also normalised. Since there was no other conclusive result, the doctor decided to do a hysteroscopy procedure before proceeding with the [**IVF procedure**](https://saraogihospital.com/ivf-a-viable-and-affordable-infertility-treatment/) and found the occurrence of endometrial polyps. He treated it simultaneously, and the couple underwent an IVF procedure. Today they are proud parents. There are many more instances of pregnancy success stories after hysteroscopy. ## Why is a hysteroscopy performed? **Your doctor may recommend hysteroscopy surgery in Mumbai in the following cases.** - Suspicion of the intracavitary lesion - Abnormal uterine bleeding - Abnormal endometrial thickening - Postmenopausal bleeding - Infertility - Mullerian congenital anomaly - Removal of foreign bodies ## How is a hysteroscopy performed? Typically, a hysteroscopy is performed as an outpatient or day-case procedure. This implies that you do not need to spend the night in the hospital. Although a local anaesthetic may be used occasionally to numb your cervix, one may not be necessary for a diagnostic procedure. If you want to be unconscious during the procedure or receive treatment while it is being done, a general anaesthetic may be utilised. A hysteroscopy surgery can last up to 30 minutes, but if it’s merely being done to detect a condition or explore symptoms, it may only take 5 to 10 minutes. A device called a speculum (the same instrument used for a cervical screening test) might be put into your vagina to hold it open while you lie on a couch with your legs supported and a sheet covering your lower half, though this is not usually necessary. With an antiseptic solution, the vagina and cervix are cleaned. You may feel some cramping and discomfort while a hysteroscope (a long, thin tube with a light and camera) is inserted into your womb. Fluid is then gently injected into the womb to help your doctor view within. Your doctor or a trained nurse can identify any anomalies by viewing the images the camera provides to a monitor. ## Conclusion: Other research was conducted to determine if antibiotics should be combined with hysteroscopic procedures to improve the chances of pregnancy, and the result was found otherwise. Simply speaking, just a hysteroscopic procedure is enough to improve your chances of pregnancy and to full term. According to Dr. Mohit, you would be lucky if you came across an infertility specialist who likes to be thorough with the patients’ diagnostic investigations, specially if you are planning to undergo an IVF or [**IUI procedure.**](https://saraogihospital.com/iui-treatment-in-mumbai/) A simple hysteroscopy which barely takes 5 to 10 minutes to investigate and a maximum of 30 minutes in case of a treatment procedure, can marginally improve your chances of a successful pregnancy. ## Frequently Asked Questions ##### Can I conceive naturally after hysteroscopy? After undergoing a simple hysteroscopy procedure to remove anomalies, you have an excellent chance of getting pregnant either naturally or after specialized fertility treatment and procedures such as IVF and IUI. ##### How soon can you get pregnant after a hysteroscopy? Based on the procedure you have undergone with a [hysteroscope](https://www.google.co.in/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwjxxIWmv-38AhWP-TgGHaADAgcQFnoECAsQAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fmy.clevelandclinic.org%2Fhealth%2Ftreatments%2F10142-hysteroscopy&usg=AOvVaw2HMRtCHdz7uvXVWwkye3ry), your doctor recommends letting your uterus heal for a few weeks or months accordingly. Once your uterus heals, you can take up the natural conception process or assisted reproductive technology like IVF or IUI. ##### Did anyone get pregnant after hysteroscopy? Of course, yes, there are many instances of successful pregnancies post hysteroscopy. ##### Does hysteroscopy improve fertility? Hysteroscopy is a diagnostic method that is also used to carry out surgeries that are possible with the hysteroscope. So, this procedure can remove fibroids, polyps, endometriosis, and adhesions. Removal of all these improve your chances of pregnancy. It is a minimally invasive procedure that causes less blood loss and heals faster. **Categories:** Blog --- ### [Hepatitis E in Pregnancy](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/hepatitis-e-in-pregnancy/) **Published:** February 18, 2023 **Author:** Dr. Mohit Saraogi **Content:** # Hepatitis E in Pregnancy by [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/author/drmohitsaraogi/ "Posts by Dr. Mohit Saraogi") | Feb 18, 2023 ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDgwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjY3NSIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDEwODAgNjc1Ij48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojY2ZkNGRiO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg==) Hepatitis E (HEV) is a viral infection that can have serious consequences, especially for pregnant women. The virus is primarily spread through contaminated water or food and can cause liver damage and even death. One of the most concerning aspects of hepatitis E during pregnancy is that it can lead to a higher maternal and fetal mortality risk. Pregnant women are more likely to experience severe symptoms and complications from HEV infection, and the virus can also harm the developing fetus. According to World Health Organization, hepatitis E in pregnancy third trimester can be fatal for around 20–25% of pregnant women. **So, what can you do to protect yourself and your baby from hepatitis E during pregnancy?** **Scroll down for the answers.** ## Let us start with an overview of hepatitis E ![hepatitis E 1](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI1NzgiIGhlaWdodD0iMzg0IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNTc4IDM4NCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "hepatitis E 1 - Saraogi Hospital") Hepatitis E is a viral infection that attacks the liver and causes inflammation.

Treatment for [hepatitis E in pregnancy](https://www.clinicspots.com/blog/hepatitis-e-in-pregnancy) is primarily focused on managing symptoms and preventing complications. The hepatitis E virus usually clears up on its own within a few weeks, but in some cases, it can lead to severe complications, especially for pregnant women. **Here are some treatment options for hepatitis E in pregnancy:** **Rest:** Pregnant women with HEV infection should rest as much as possible and avoid strenuous activity to help the body fight the infection. **Supportive care:** They should drink plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration and consume a balanced diet. **Medications:** In some cases, the doctor may give pregnant women with HEV infection medications to help manage symptoms or prevent complications. **Monitoring:** They will be closely monitored by their obstetrician to check for signs of complications and to ensure the health of the mother and the baby. **Hospitalization:** In severe cases of HEV infection, the women may need to be hospitalized to receive more intensive treatment and monitoring. As of now, there is no specific treatment for hepatitis E, but early diagnosis and treatment can help in the outcome of the infection. Also, there is no vaccine available for general use, so the best way to prevent hepatitis E is to practice good hygiene and make sure only to consume clean water and properly cooked food. ## What happens if you have hepatitis E during pregnancy? Hepatitis E during pregnancy can have severe consequences for both the mother and the developing fetus For the mother, HEV infection can cause symptoms such as fatigue, stomach pain, jaundice, and dark urine. The infection can sometimes lead to liver failure and even death, particularly in people with weakened immune systems or pre-existing liver conditions. For the fetus, HEV infection can lead to several complications, such as: **Fetal growth restriction:** The virus can reduce the growth of the fetus, leading to lower birth weight. **Premature birth:** It can lead to early delivery of the baby. **Miscarriage:** Sometimes, hepatitis E during pregnancy can lead to miscarriage. **Stillbirth:** In rare cases, it can lead to stillbirth. The above complications are relatively rare, and most women infected with hepatitis E during pregnancy will have a full-term pregnancy with a healthy baby. However, it is crucial for pregnant women who have been exposed to the virus or are experiencing symptoms to seek medical attention right away to minimize the risk of complications. ## What are the risk factors for hepatitis E in pregnancy? ![risk factors for hepatitis E](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MTMiIGhlaWdodD0iNDU5IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjEzIDQ1OSI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "risk factors for hepatitis E - Saraogi Hospital") The risk factors for hepatitis E in pregnancy are similar to those for the general population and include the following: - Living in or travelling to areas with poor sanitation or high rates of hepatitis E - Consuming contaminated water or food. - Following poor hygiene, like not washing hands regularly or not correctly cleaning fruits and vegetables. - Having a weakened immune system, like those who have [HIV](https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/hiv-aids) or other chronic illnesses. - Eating raw or undercooked meat, such as pork. - Occupational exposure to HEV-contaminated animal feces. ## Recovery time The recovery time for Hepatitis E can vary depending on the individual and the severity of the infection. [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/) states, “In most cases, the infection will clear up on its own within a few weeks, but in some cases, it can develop into serious complications, especially for pregnant women. Close monitoring is needed to ensure the health of the mother and the baby.” During recovery, the infected person needs to rest, practice good hygiene, maintain a healthy diet, and stay hydrated. Your doctor may prescribe medications to manage symptoms. ## Ways to prevent hepatitis E in pregnancy **Practice good hygiene:** This includes washing your hands regularly and ensuring you only consume clean water and properly cooked food. **Be aware of the symptoms:** If you experience any of the symptoms of hepatitis E, consult your doctor immediately. **Seek medical attention:** If you are pregnant and have been exposed to the virus or are experiencing symptoms, seek medical attention right away. ## Conclusion Dr. Mohit Saraogi, a fertility specialist at Saraogi Hospital, a premier IVF centre in Mumbai, emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis and treatment for pregnant women with hepatitis E to minimize the risk of complications. You can schedule an appointment with Dr. Mohit Saraogi, who has the knowledge and experience to provide the best care and guidance for all gynecological and fertility issues and conditions. ## Frequently Asked Questions ##### Why hepatitis E is common in pregnancy? Hepatitis E is a virus that is spread mainly through contaminated water. It is more common in pregnant women because their immune systems are weakened during pregnancy, making them more vulnerable to infection. ##### Why hepatitis E is fatal in pregnancy? Hepatitis E is typically a mild disease, but it can be fatal in pregnant women because the virus can cause severe liver damage and increase the risk of developing jaundice and other complications. Furthermore, pregnant women have a weakened immune system, which makes them more susceptible to severe illness from the virus. The virus also causes a greater risk of miscarriage and stillbirth. **Categories:** Blog --- ### [3 Failed IUI – Unexplained Infertility](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/3-failed-iui-unexplained-infertility/) **Published:** March 26, 2023 **Author:** Dr. Mohit Saraogi **Content:** # 3 Failed IUI – Unexplained Infertility by [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/author/drmohitsaraogi/ "Posts by Dr. Mohit Saraogi") | Mar 26, 2023 ![3 Failed IUI img](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDgwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjY3NSIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDEwODAgNjc1Ij48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojY2ZkNGRiO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg==) Infertility is an intensely personal and emotional experience that can significantly impact a person’s or a couple’s mental, physical, and emotional. It is a path frequently filled with uncertainties, anticipation, disappointment, and strength. Trying to conceive can be an emotional rollercoaster for people who want to have a family but are having difficulty doing so. Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is one of the most prevalent reproductive treatments for infertile couples. ![3 Failed IUI - Unexplained Infertility | Dr. Mohit Saraogi](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIzNTYiIGhlaWdodD0iMjM3IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgMzU2IDIzNyI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4=) *“IUI entails placing cleaned sperm straight into a woman’s uterus during ovulation to increase the likelihood of conception,” explains IVF specialist Dr. Mohit Saraogi of* [*Saraogi Hospital*](https://saraogihospital.com/)*. “It is frequently the initial step for couples seeking fertility treatment and is a reasonably easy and non-invasive process that a doctor can complete in their facility.”* It might be challenging to decide whether to have IUI, and feeling anxious or overwhelmed during the procedure is common. Because of this, it is critical to comprehend what IUI entails. This blog aims to provide information to help you as we delve into the world of IUI. From what causes unexplained infertility, unexplained infertility treatment, what IUI entails, IUI failure reasons, and other treatment options. It also speaks about [3 failed iui](https://www.clinicspots.com/blog/3-failed-iui) unexplained infertility. ## Unexplained infertility and its causes *“Unexplained infertility refers to a medical condition in which couples cannot conceive even after a thorough medical evaluation fails to identify any specific underlying cause,” explains* [*infertility expert*](https://saraogihospital.com/pregnancy-success-after-hysteroscopy/) *Dr. Mohit Saraogi. “This condition affects an estimated 15-20% of couples experiencing infertility.”* *Image Source: https://aveya.in/*![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5NzUiIGhlaWdodD0iNDM1IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTc1IDQzNSI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "- Saraogi Hospital") While the exact cause of unexplained infertility is not yet known, a variety of reasons may be responsible, including: - **Age:** Age greatly impacts fertility as the egg [quantity and quality](https://saraogihospital.com/what-is-low-ovarian-reserve-and-ways-to-treat-it/) decrease as she gets older. - **Abnormal eggs:** Sometimes eggs are created naturally and released, but if they contain a chromosomal abnormality or aberrant structures, it can lead to infertility. - **Sperm quality:** Infertility may be due to low sperm counts, slow motility (movement), or abnormal morphology (defects) in male sperm. - **Ovulation issues:** Infertility may be due to irregular menstrual cycles, a lack of ovulation, or ovulatory dysfunction. - **Endometriosis:** Infertility may result from endometriosis, a disorder in which the uterine lining tissue spreads outside the uterus. - **Immunological factors:** An aberrant immunological response in either spouse may hamper attempts to get pregnant. - **Lifestyle factors:** Smoking, drinking, being overweight, [hypertension](https://shop.medtechlife.com/products/medtech-blood-pressure-monitor-bp12-with-backlight), being under stress, and unhealthy eating habits can all impact fertility. - **Genetic factors:** Certain genetic disorders or mutations may play a role in infertility. - **Issues with fallopian tubes:** An injury or obstruction in the fallopian tube can hinder the egg’s ability to reach the uterus. - **Infections:** You should seek treatment right away if you have mycoplasma or chlamydia infections since they could be interfering with your ability to conceive. ![Infections ](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIzNzEiIGhlaWdodD0iMjc4IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgMzcxIDI3OCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4=) - **Psychological Problems:** According to research, if a person is emotionally disturbed, their hormonal cycle may be impacted and contribute to infertility. In some cases, unexplained infertility may have a multifactorial cause, which means multiple underlying factors are causing it. If you have been unsuccessful despite repeated attempts to conceive and are considering IUI, please meet Dr. Mohit Saraogi. He is a renowned [gynecologist](https://saraogihospital.com/best-gynecologist-in-mumbai/) and among the preferred doctors for people seeking IUI Treatment in Mumbai. ## Causes of 3 failed IUI **The causes of 3 or more failed IUIs are the same as unexplained infertility, such as:** - Ovulation problems - Poor sperm quality - Fallopian tube blockages - Endometriosis - Age-related decline in fertility If you or a loved one has had 3 or more unsuccessful IUI attempts, it is time to take another approach. Please visit the state-of-the-art [Saraogi Hospital](https://saraogihospital.com/about/) & IRIS [IVF Centre in Mumbai](https://www.clinicspots.com/hospitals/ivf-in-vitro-fertilization/mumbai) to re-evaluate the underlying causes of infertility and investigate alternative options. ## Challenges of experiencing 3 or more failed IUI’s Repeated failed [IUI](https://saraogihospital.com/iui-treatment-in-mumbai/) attempts can take a toll on everyone involved in various ways, such as: ### **Emotional upheaval** Failed IUIs can be a difficult and traumatic experience for people seeking to conceive. Even though there are high hopes and expectations for the treatment, the disappointment and annoyance of repeatedly failing to conceive can be detrimental to one’s mental health and well-being. These emotions may feel too much to bear, especially if they have been trying to get pregnant for a while. The constant cycle of hope and disappointment can lead to depression and anxiety and even put a strain on relationships. ### **Financial burden** *Image Source: https://nfcr.org/*![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI0OTAiIGhlaWdodD0iMjgwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNDkwIDI4MCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "- Saraogi Hospital") The cost associated with each effort is another challenge. Undergoing multiple IUI cycles can be expensive, especially if insurance does not cover it. Fertility treatments can be expensive. Financial pressure may be a significant source of stress for many couples, especially if they are not getting the outcomes they had hoped for. ### **Physical toll** *Image Source: https://thekey.brightspotcdn.com/*![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI0OTgiIGhlaWdodD0iMjgwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNDk4IDI4MCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "- Saraogi Hospital") Failed IUIs can also have a negative physical impact on the body. Medical appointments, blood tests, medications, and ultrasounds are part of each IUI cycle, which can be physically taxing. The body may require time to recuperate and repair after multiple tries, especially if there were complications or adverse effects from the process. It is crucial to get help from family, close friends, or a counsellor who can provide emotional support and direction during this trying time. *“Despite these difficulties,” says expert* [*obstetrician* ](https://saraogihospital.com/9-week-ectopic-pregnancy-surgery/) *Dr. Mohit Saraogi, “it is crucial to remember that unsuccessful IUIs do not spell doom for couples attempting to conceive. There are other reproductive procedures that may be a more effective option.”* ## **Alternate treatment options** Alternate treatment methods to consider after multiple unsuccessful IUI efforts depend on the underlying reason for infertility and the couple’s wishes. These alternatives include: ### **IVF (in vitro fertilization):** With [IVF](https://saraogihospital.com/infertility-treatment-mumbai/), the sperm and eggs are fertilized outside of the body in a lab, and one or more embryos are then transferred to the uterus. ### **ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection):** [ICSI](https://saraogihospital.com/icsi-treatment-in-mumbai/) is a revolutionary method of IVF where a single sperm is inserted into an egg directly. ### **IMSI (intracytoplasmic morphologically selected sperm injection):** [IMSI](https://saraogihospital.com/imsi-treatment-in-mumbai/) is an improved version of ICSI where high-quality sperm is injected into the egg for fertilization. ### **Donor sperm or eggs:** In cases where the female partner’s eggs are insufficient or of low quality, [donor sperm](https://saraogihospital.com/donor-sperm-procedure-in-mumbai/) or [eggs](https://saraogihospital.com/egg-donor-treatment-in-mumbai/) may be the answer. ### **Surrogacy:** [Surrogacy](https://saraogihospital.com/surrogacy-in-mumbai/) may be possible if the female spouse cannot carry a pregnancy to term. This involves a surrogate woman who chooses to carry the pregnancy term and deliver on behalf of the mother. [*Fertility specialist*](https://saraogihospital.com/frozen-embryo-transfer-treatment-in-mumbai/) *Dr. Mohit Saraogi adds, “If fertility treatments are unsuccessful, adoption is a possibility to consider. By adopting a child, you will have the joys of parenthood while providing a loving family to a child in need.”* ## Conclusion ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI0NjQiIGhlaWdodD0iMzQ4IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNDY0IDM0OCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "- Saraogi Hospital") Having unsuccessful IUIs can be a difficult and emotional experience for people trying to get pregnant and start their journey of parenthood. It is critical to recognize the emotional, financial, and physical costs of each cycle and ask for help when necessary. Remember that there are still alternative possibilities and that with persistence and help, the desire to have a family can still come true.

However, you can explore multiple options to raise your chances of conceiving, such as: - Fertility drugs to stimulate ovulation - Intrauterine insemination (IUI) to place the sperm directly into your uterus - In vitro fertilization (IVF) to fertilize the egg and sperm in a culture dish before being placed in the uterus. - Surgery to correct blocked or damaged fallopian tubes - Lifestyle changes like maintaining a healthy weight, managing stress, quitting vices like smoking and alcohol consumption **Categories:** Blog --- ### [Laparoscopy for infertility treatment success rate](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/laparoscopy-for-infertility-treatment-success-rate/) **Published:** April 28, 2023 **Author:** Dr. Mohit Saraogi **Content:** # Laparoscopy for infertility treatment success rate by [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/author/drmohitsaraogi/ "Posts by Dr. Mohit Saraogi") | Apr 28, 2023 ![Laparoscopy](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDgwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjY3NSIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDEwODAgNjc1Ij48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojY2ZkNGRiO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg==) Modern times have made our lives difficult and easy simultaneously. Where women find it more often than not difficult to conceive in these modern times due to their stress and other environmental factors such as their lifestyle, and sometimes, due to male infertility, medical science and technology has turned out to be a blessing. After considerable tries at conceiving naturally, a woman finds herself visiting her gynaecologist for a fathomable explanation to her cause of infertility. And if you are on this page, it could very well be you or your partner, or someone close to you. ![infertility treatment](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI3NjgiIGhlaWdodD0iNTM4IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNzY4IDUzOCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "infertility treatment - Saraogi Hospital") Most of us are aware of some standard methods of diagnosing any abnormality in our body – such as blood tests, X-rays, Ultrasound sonography, MRIs, CT scans, and also Laparoscopy. Laparoscopy is frequently used to diagnose and treat various causes of infertility, such as endometriosis, hydrosalpinx, ovarian cyst, etc., by Dr. Mohit Saraogi at his [IVF centre in Mumbai](https://www.clinicspots.com/hospitals/ivf-in-vitro-fertilization/mumbai) – [Saraogi Hospital & Iris IVF centre](https://saraogihospital.com/). Dr. Mohit Saraogi – a leading gynaecologist and IVF specialist, is proficient at conducting [laparoscopy procedures](https://saraogihospital.com/laparoscopic-surgery-mumbai/) in Mumbai. He explains the importance of the Laparoscopic procedure and its increasing success rate in [treating infertility](https://saraogihospital.com/infertility-treatment-mumbai/). ## Laparoscopy procedure in brief: A Laparoscope is an instrument designed to enter a human body through a small incision – as small as a centimetre. It has a source of light that improves the visibility of the internal organs through the camera attached to it. Your doctor can view your internal organs on the screen attached to the Laparoscope. While your doctor is conducting the laparoscopic investigation of your internal organs, they can treat minor and sometimes even considerably bigger causes of your infertility by making a second incision and inserting another arm of the Laparoscope in it. Your doctor inserts micro instruments through this arm to treat and remove any abnormality found. This procedure is conducted when you are under anaesthesia to prevent you from pain and discomfort. ## Treating Infertility with Laparoscopy: When your diagnostic tests for infertility have turned out to be inconclusive or demand further investigation, your doctor will usually recommend a laparoscopy procedure to get insights into the [causes of your infertility](https://saraogihospital.com/infertility-the-modern-day-disease/). Certain conditions of the woman’s reproductive organs can be diagnosed and simultaneously treated using Laparoscopy to improve your fertility and consecutively your chances of success at conception naturally or after an IVF procedure. Your cause of infertility could be anything, including the ones listed below that are diagnosed and treated using Laparoscopy. ![Treating Infertility](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MTIiIGhlaWdodD0iNDA4IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjEyIDQwOCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Treating Infertility - Saraogi Hospital") - **Fibroids in the uterus** cause blockage to the fallopian tube or distorting the path to the fallopian or distorting the endometrial lining. These can be successfully eliminated using Laparoscopy. - **Polyps or Endometrial Cysts** can again be eliminated using Laparoscopy. - **Hydrosalpinx** sometimes goes undetected in other tests. It is caused by infection or tubal block. The presence of a hydrosalpinx reduces the laparoscopy for infertility treatment success rate of an IVF procedure. Therefore it becomes mandatory to remove or clip the hydrosalpinx to increase your chances of laparoscopy and Ivf success rate. - **PCOD – polycystic ovarian disease** can also be treated by laparoscopic drilling, thereby increasing ovulation. - **Adhesions** are bands of scar tissue formed between the organs due to infections, injuries, or prior surgeries. These are inevitable as it is a part of healing. Although they seldom interfere with a person’s health, they can cause infertility. Laparoscopic Adhesiolysis is a process of minimising or removing these adhesions and thereby increasing your chances of fertility. In addition to the conditions mentioned above, Laparoscopy is used to diagnose and treat many more causes of infertility and increases your chances of conceiving spontaneously. ## Benefits of Laparoscopy: Laparoscopy is most opted for compared to conventional open surgeries as it heals faster with minimum blood loss. The formation of adhesions due to scarring is minimal, and therefore it will interfere less with your fertility. The procedure itself takes very little time compared to open surgeries. They are completed almost 75% faster. Most of the time, you will be fit to go home the same day, barring some extraordinary conditions. ## Recovery after Laparoscopy for treating infertility The obvious question that you are likely to have in your mind after the surgery is, how soon are you fit to try conceiving naturally? Well, the answer is that it could take a couple of days to a few weeks depending upon the cause treated. A minor cause is treated faster with less invasion. Hence, you will heal more quickly as compared to a relatively more invasive procedure required to treat a major cause of infertility. ![Recovery after Laparoscopy for treating infertility](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI0MDEiIGhlaWdodD0iMjY3IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNDAxIDI2NyI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4=) You need to keep a check on your incision healing. It takes a little more time to heal internally, so rest adequately before starting any form of physical activity, be it mild exercise or your attempt to conceive naturally. If the pain persists after a considerable amount of time, you should revisit your gynaecologist for an immediate consultation. ## Further treatment after Laparoscopy for infertility That said, your gynaecologist will usually call you for a [Hysterosalpingogram (HSG)](https://www.mayoclinic.org/hsg-test/vid-20084751). In this procedure, the doctor will inject a dye through a catheter in your cervix, and X-rays are taken to look for any further blockages in your reproductive system. If all is clear, you are ready for your IVF cycle. Laparoscopy for infertility treatment success rate increases the chances of success rates for IVF treatment by almost 70%. ## Cost of Laparoscopy in Mumbai The cost of a laparoscopy procedure varies depending on the hospital, the locality, your gynaecologist, and your condition treated. It could range very well between Rs. 50,000 to Rs.1 Lakh. ## Conclusion: [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/about/), an accomplished Gynaecologist and [IVF specialist](https://www.clinicspots.com/ivf/mumbai), gives hope to women trying to conceive either naturally or through an IVF procedure in Mumbai by conducting a thorough investigation using Laparoscopy for infertility issues and treats them at the same time if it is possible to treat the condition laparoscopically. The proficiency of the medical professional in performing IUI success rate after laparoscopy & IVF success rates after laparoscopy Some reproductive conditions that can be treated laparoscopically are PCOD, Endometriosis, Fibroids, Polyps, Hydrosalpinx, and adhesions. The recovery time is considerably less than conventional open surgeries, and you can attempt natural conception after almost a month or so – depending on the cause treated. Always keep a check on your incision while it is healing, and be aware of any pain during physical movement. Alternatively, if you are ready for an IVF cycle, your doctor will plan it with and for you. A laparoscopy treatment for infertility increases your chances of conception by almost 70%, and the cost is a nominal amount of up to Rs 1 Lakh in Mumbai.

Let’s discuss the differences between these two crucial medical specialties catering to women’s reproductive health. Obstetricians and gynecologists are essential foundations that collaborate to serve women at different phases of their reproductive journeys. Gynecologists specialize with the overall health of the female reproductive system. They provide preventive tests such as Pap smears and pelvic exams to ensure women maintain optimal reproductive health, from treating monthly irregularities to detecting complicated diseases such as endometriosis or infertility. Obstetricians, on the other hand, specialize in pregnancy care, childbirth, and postpartum health. They supervise prenatal care, manage pregnancies, and ensure the mother’s and developing fetus’s well-being. Obstetricians perform the appropriate interventions, whether vaginal or cesarean deliveries, in the event of difficulties. [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/), a renowned obstetrician and gynecologist in Mumbai, outlines the differences between these disciplines, emphasizing the need of seeking the proper healthcare practitioner at the right time. Obstetrics and Gynecology are two medical areas of expertise that specialize in treating women’s reproductive health and are closely related. Both fields focus on diagnosing, treating, and preventing illnesses and diseases affecting the female reproductive system, including the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, vagina, and cervix. Gynecology and obstetrics work closely together to benefit women’s overall health and happiness. These medical professions provide a wide range of services and treatments to assist women in their reproductive health. ![reproductive health](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI3NjgiIGhlaWdodD0iNTEzIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNzY4IDUxMyI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "reproductive health - Saraogi Hospital") “Gynecologists and Obstetricians primarily focus on preserving excellent reproductive health of women,” says Dr. Mohit Saraogi, a renowned [gynecologist](https://www.nishawomenshospital.com/blog/what-to-expect-at-your-first-gynaecologist-appointment/) & obstetrician in Mumbai. “Their expertise encompasses managing pregnancy and childbirth and addressing any health issues relating to the female reproductive system.” ## Obstetrics vs Gynecology – The Primary difference *If Gynecology and obstetrics both deal with women’s reproductive health, what is the difference between obstetricians and gynecologists? Let us find out!* Gynecology is a medical specialty that focuses on the overall health of the female reproductive system. This includes diagnosing and treating diseases like STIs, infertility, and menstruation abnormalities. Gynecologists also administer standard check-ups, including pap smears and breast exams, to ensure women maintain good reproductive health. On the other hand, the main focus of obstetrics is the treatment of women throughout pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. Obstetricians provide prenatal care, delivery management, and postpartum care in addition to assuring the mother’s and the baby’s health and safety during pregnancy and childbirth. “Pregnancy and reproductive health are related,” adds obstetrician-gynecologist Dr. Mohit Saraogi, “however, they are distinct concepts.” ## Gynaecologist vs Obstetrician – The Differences **GynaecologistObstetrician**Specialize in the female reproductive system, including the vagina, ovaries, and uterusSpecialize in providing care for expectant mothers and their unborn childrenDiagnose and treat problems affecting the female reproductive system, such as endometriosis, infertility, and cervical cancergive pregnant people prenatal care, keep track of fetal growth, and help with childbirthPerform procedures like colposcopies, Pap smears, and pelvic exams to screen for and detect troublesome conditionsExplain birth control options and discuss family planning servicesManage high-risk pregnancies and potential delivery complicationsAssist with childbirth, be it vaginal deliveries or cesarean sections (C-sections) if necessaryMay carry out procedures like tubal ligations, laparoscopies, and hysterectomiesWork together with other medical specialists to protect the well-being and security of the mother and child during childbirth, including anesthesiologists, neonatologists, and perinatologistsMay provide care for women during menopause and various other phases of lifeCan give mother and child postpartum care following childbirth, such as support with breastfeeding and postpartum check-ups.Gynecologists also frequently practice obstetrics, as the two specialties are intimately related to women’s health. ## Obstetrician vs Gynecologist – The Commonalities Obstetricians and gynecologists are medical professionals focusing on supervising and caring for women’s reproductive health. Both careers require the successful completion of medical school and an obstetrics and gynecology residency. Both professions require extensive surgical skills for treatments involving the female reproductive system, such as C-sections, hysterectomies, and other surgeries. They frequently collaborate to offer complete care for women during pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum recovery and identify and manage problems in the reproductive system. Dr. Mohit Saraogi is a respected obstetrician-gynecologist (OB-GYN) trained in gynecology and obstetrics and provides care for pregnant and non-pregnant patients. *How will you know who will assist during your time of need?

A woman’s body undergoes several hormonal and physical modifications during pregnancy, which span roughly 40 weeks. ![health](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MTMiIGhlaWdodD0iMzg5IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjEzIDM4OSI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "health - Saraogi Hospital") Contrarily, “reproductive health” refers to a broader notion covering various topics linked to sexual and reproductive health, such as fertility, contraception, STIs, mother and child health, and access to reproductive healthcare services. It describes the social, psychological, and physical health associated with the reproductive system. While pregnancy is one aspect of reproductive health, many other elements affect people’s overall health and the health of their communities. They include having access to thorough sexual education, affordable and safe contraception, STI management and prevention, safe and legal access to abortion services, and assistance with maternal and child health. “While reproductive health refers to a wider variety of difficulties relating to sexual and reproductive well-being, pregnancy refers to the condition of carrying a developing fetus in the uterus,” explains Dr. Mohit Saraogi.

Women should see an OB/GYN for routine check-ups, preventive care, and diagnosing and treating reproductive system diseases. Women should consider visiting a gynecologist for the first time between the ages of 13 and 15 or when they first start having sexual relations. This should be followed by yearly or biannual check-ups. A woman should visit an obstetrician when she becomes pregnant or intends to become pregnant. ##### Why do physiotherapy students have to study obstetrics and gynecology? For physiotherapy students, obstetrics and gynecology are crucial areas of study because they teach about the female reproductive system, its functioning, and how it interacts with the musculoskeletal system. Women with pelvic-related illnesses such as pelvic pain, incontinence, and pelvic floor disorders can receive better care from physiotherapists knowledgeable in obstetrics and gynecology. **Categories:** Blog --- ### [3 Months After Miscarriage Still Not Pregnant?](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/3-months-after-miscarriage-still-not-pregnant/) **Published:** July 7, 2023 **Author:** Dr. Mohit Saraogi **Content:** # 3 Months After Miscarriage Still Not Pregnant? by [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/author/drmohitsaraogi/ "Posts by Dr. Mohit Saraogi") | Jul 7, 2023 ![3 Months After Miscarriage](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDgwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjY3NSIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDEwODAgNjc1Ij48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojY2ZkNGRiO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg==) Have you experienced a miscarriage?

Experiencing a miscarriage can be emotionally challenging for any woman or couple. It is essential to acknowledge that healing takes time, both physically and emotionally.

Dr Mohit Saraogi, an esteemed [IVF specialist in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/), is dedicated to providing comprehensive services to address [infertility concerns](https://saraogihospital.com/infertility-treatment-mumbai/), including cases following a miscarriage.

In this article, we will explore the [reasons](https://saraogihospital.com/how-is-infertility-diagnosed/) behind not getting pregnant after a miscarriage and provide some insights into what steps can be taken. ## Understanding Miscarriage ![Understanding Miscarriage](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIzMDAiIGhlaWdodD0iMTkzIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgMzAwIDE5MyI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Understanding Miscarriage - Saraogi Hospital") Miscarriage is the loss of pregnancy before the 20th week of gestation. It is essential to understand that miscarriages are more common than people realize. Approximately 10-25% of pregnancies end in miscarriage. The loss can be particularly difficult for [couples](https://saraogihospital.com/ivf-treatment-for-infertile-couples-with-multiple-failed-pregnancies-saraogi-hospital/) eager to start or expand their families. ## 3 Months After Miscarriage and Still Not Pregnant – Reasons: Some factors that may contribute to not getting pregnant after three months following a miscarriage include: **1. Hormonal Imbalance:** Hormonal imbalances and underlying health conditions, such as polycystic ovary syndrome ([PCOS](https://saraogihospital.com/how-does-pcos-affect-your-fertility/)), thyroid disorders, or reproductive system abnormalities, can disrupt the regular [menstrual cycle](https://saraogihospital.com/what-does-your-menstrual-cycle-say-about-your-fertility/) and [ovulation](https://saraogihospital.com/what-is-low-ovarian-reserve-and-ways-to-treat-it/), making it more challenging to conceive. **2. Emotional Healing:** The emotional toll of a miscarriage can impact a woman’s mental well-being and potentially affect her fertility. Stress, anxiety, and grief can interfere with the body’s reproductive processes. **3. Physical Recovery:** It takes time for the body to heal after a miscarriage. The uterus needs to regain its strength. The hormonal balance must stabilize before ovulation. **4. Age:** Age can play a crucial role in [fertility](https://saraogihospital.com/fertility-tips-for-young-women-about-boosting-fertility-in-a-natural-way/). As women [age](https://saraogihospital.com/the-benefits-and-risk-of-pregnancy-after-40/), the quality and quantity of their [eggs decrease](https://saraogihospital.com/why-do-women-become-less-fertile-with-age/). It can impact the chances of conception. **5. Partner Factors:** It is essential to consider that fertility issues may not be solely related to the woman. [Male factors](https://saraogihospital.com/importance-of-semen-analysis-in-male-infertility-treatment/), such as sperm quality and count, can also contribute to [difficulties in conceiving](https://saraogihospital.com/what-are-the-causes-of-infertility/). ## How many days after the miscarriage does one get pregnant? “It is important to remember that getting pregnant after a miscarriage can take time. There is no specific timeline for conception. The duration it takes to conceive again can vary from person to person, explains Dr Mohit Saraogi, one of the leading IVF specialist in Mumbai.” Generally, it is possible to conceive as soon as two weeks after a miscarriage. However, it is important to note that the timing can be influenced by factors such as the woman’s menstrual cycle and the body’s physical recovery process. Following a miscarriage, the body needs time to heal physically and emotionally. The uterus needs to shed the remaining tissue from the pregnancy. The hormonal balance may take some time to normalize. Often [fertility specialists](https://saraogihospital.com/when-should-you-see-an-infertility-doctor/) recommend waiting until after the first menstrual cycle following a miscarriage before attempting to conceive again. This allows the body to recover fully and increases the [chances of a healthy pregnancy](https://saraogihospital.com/10-ways-to-improve-your-chances-of-conceiving/). ## Signs of Miscarriage Recognizing the signs of a miscarriage is essential. Common miscarriage symptoms may include: ![Signs of Miscarriage](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIzODUiIGhlaWdodD0iMzEzIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgMzg1IDMxMyI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "- Saraogi Hospital") - **Vaginal bleeding:** This can range from light spotting to heavy bleeding. - **Abdominal pain or cramping:** Sharp or dull pain in the lower abdomen or back. - **Passing tissue:** Expulsion of blood clots or tissue from the vagina. - **Decreased pregnancy symptoms:** A sudden decrease in symptoms like breast tenderness or morning sickness. - **Back pain:** Persistent or severe pain in the lower back. - **Absence of fetal movement:** It stops abruptly if you previously felt fetal movement. “If you experience any of these signs, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly to confirm the status of your pregnancy, advises Dr. Mohit Saraogi.” ## What Precautions Should One Take to Prevent Miscarriage? While some miscarriages occur due to factors beyond our control, certain precautions can help minimize the risk. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise, a [balanced diet](https://saraogihospital.com/why-your-daily-diet-matters-to-fertility-health/), and avoiding harmful substances like [tobacco](https://saraogihospital.com/the-relation-between-smoking-and-fertility-in-ahmedabad/) and alcohol, can promote a healthier pregnancy. Also, managing chronic medical conditions, addressing hormonal imbalances, and seeking [prenatal care](https://www.healthline.com/health/pregnancy-care) is essential to prevent miscarriages. It is important to note that these precautions do not guarantee prevention of miscarriage. ## Can I Rely on a Pregnancy Calculator to Check if I’m Pregnant After a Miscarriage? Pregnancy calculators are tools that estimate a woman’s due date based on the first day of her last menstrual period. They are not designed to determine pregnancy immediately after a miscarriage. However, they may not accurately predict conception after a miscarriage since they rely on the regularity of a woman’s menstrual cycle. Therefore, relying solely on a pregnancy calculator may not provide accurate results in determining if you are pregnant after a miscarriage. You should [consult ](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/)a healthcare provider for a more reliable assessment. A healthcare professional can perform a physical examination, evaluate your medical history, and conduct appropriate tests to confirm pregnancy. ## Conclusion Experiencing a miscarriage can be heartbreaking. The subsequent delay in conceiving can add to the emotional strain. At Saraogi Hospital, one of the best [IVF hospital](https://saraogihospital.com/about/) in Mumbai, Dr Mohit Saraogi and his team provide comprehensive care and support to individuals navigating through this challenging period. By understanding the reasons behind the delayed conception and seeking expert guidance, couples can increase their chances of achieving a successful pregnancy. ## Frequently Asked Questions ##### What are the reasons for not conceiving after a miscarriage?

Getting pregnant after a miscarriage and getting pregnant after an abortion are two distinct situations. While a miscarriage is a spontaneous pregnancy loss, an abortion is a deliberate termination. The physical and emotional aspects of these experiences may differ. But seeking appropriate medical advice and support in both cases is essential. **Categories:** Blog --- ### [Signs of Overdoing Kegels: Understanding the Limits of Pelvic Floor Exercises](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/signs-of-overdoing-kegels-understanding-the-limits-of-pelvic-floor-exercises/) **Published:** August 26, 2023 **Author:** Dr. Mohit Saraogi **Content:** # Signs of Overdoing Kegels: Understanding the Limits of Pelvic Floor Exercises by [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/author/drmohitsaraogi/ "Posts by Dr. Mohit Saraogi") | Aug 26, 2023 ![Overdoing Kegels](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDgwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjY3NSIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDEwODAgNjc1Ij48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojY2ZkNGRiO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg==) Kegel exercises, also known as pelvic floor exercises, are beneficial for strengthening pelvic floor muscles.

Physically, your hormone levels may take time to readjust. This causes a withdrawal bleed or a period similar to a regular [menstrual cycle](https://saraogihospital.com/what-does-your-menstrual-cycle-say-about-your-fertility/).

On average, it may take a few weeks to a couple of months for your body to resume its natural menstrual cycle and for ovulation to occur. However, in some cases, early ovulation after a failed IVF attempt can occur. The exact timeline depends on factors such as the type of fertility medications used during IVF, your hormone levels, and your overall health. It is essential to be patient during this period and to allow your body the time it needs to recover and regulate itself, especially when experiencing delayed ovulation [after IVF](https://saraogihospital.com/bleeding-17-days-after-ivf-causes-concerns-next-steps/) cycle.

The likelihood of conception during the first post-IVF ovulation depends on several factors, including the underlying causes of [infertility](https://saraogihospital.com/top-7-myths-about-infertility-and-ivf-debunked/), age, overall health, and reproductive history. It is essential to consult with a fertility specialist to better understand your unique situation and the chances of achieving a successful pregnancy based on your medical history.

Seven days after Intrauterine Insemination (IUI), a critical phase of the fertility process unfolds. At this stage, the fertilized egg, if conception has occurred, heads towards the uterine lining. This journey is pivotal for implantation. It is a process where the egg attaches itself to the uterus. It’s a hopeful time for many, as implantation is crucial to a successful pregnancy. ![After IUI](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI3NjgiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAyIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNzY4IDYwMiI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "After IUI - Saraogi Hospital") During this period, individuals may experience various symptoms. Some report mild cramping or spotting, which can be signs of implantation. However, it’s crucial to note that not everyone experiences these symptoms. Statistics show that about **20-30% of women** undergoing IUI report such symptoms, though they aren’t definitive indicators of pregnancy. The absence of symptoms does not rule out a successful implantation. Ultimately, a pregnancy test, typically taken around two weeks post-IUI, is the most reliable way to confirm if the procedure has been successful.

It is a sign of embryo implantation in the uterine lining. ### **Breast Tenderness**: Hormonal changes [post-IUI](https://saraogihospital.com/light-bleeding-after-14-days-of-iui/) can cause breast soreness or tenderness in many women. ### **Mild Cramping**: 7 days after IUI cramping is experienced in about **15-25% of women**.

It is often referred to as implantation bleeding. This typically occurs a few days before the expected menstrual period. It is lighter than usual menstrual bleeding. ### **Cramping**: Mild cramping is a common symptom reported by approximately **15-25% of women**. These cramps are less intense than menstrual cramps. They are often felt in the lower abdomen. ### **Breast Changes**: Sensitivity or tenderness in the breasts is a potential sign. It is noted by around **10-20% of women** during early pregnancy stages. ### **Basal Body Temperature (BBT) Changes**: A slight rise in BBT following ovulation can indicate implantation. This is a crucial sign monitored by many women tracking fertility. ### **Nausea or Fatigue**: While less specific, a sudden onset of nausea or fatigue can also signal implantation. These symptoms are reported by a significant number of women in early pregnancy. ***Each body is unique. All women will not experience these signs.

A balanced diet, rich in vitamins and minerals, helps enhance the body’s healing process. Studies suggest that consuming foods high in antioxidants can improve fertility outcomes. For instance, a diet with a 25-30% increased intake of vitamin-rich fruits and vegetables is linked to better reproductive health. Incorporating omega-3 fatty acids, found in fish and flaxseeds, is crucial. These fats contribute to around 15% improved [chances of successful conception](https://saraogihospital.com/ways-in-which-you-can-increase-your-chances-of-pregnancy-after-iui/) post IUI. Besides, whole grains and lean proteins are essential. They provide sustained energy and support hormonal balance, which is crucial in the post-IUI phase. Limiting processed foods and sugars is equally important, as these can negatively impact fertility. Hydration is another critical factor. Drinking adequate water, approximately 2-3 litres daily, is vital for maintaining good uterine health. It’s not just about quantity; the quality of nutrients plays a significant role. A diet tailored to individual health needs, ideally under a nutritionist’s guidance, can optimize recovery and improve the chances of a successful IUI outcome. ***Comparing stages can be insightful.

This stage is critical for the embryo’s development. But it’s just the beginning of a longer journey. In comparison, later stages focus more on embryo implantation and growth. 2. **Symptom Variability**: 7 days post IUI symptoms can vary widely among individuals. Some may experience mild cramping or spotting, while others feel no changes. In contrast, the later stages, mainly two weeks post IUI, might present more pronounced symptoms. These may include nausea or breast tenderness, indicating successful implantation. 3. **Emotional Dynamics**: The emotional aspect at 7 days post IUI often revolves around anticipation and uncertainty. As time progresses, emotional responses evolve, often intensifying as the wait for pregnancy test results nears. 4. **Testing Timeline**: It’s typically too early to conduct a pregnancy test at 7 days post IUI. Most specialists recommend waiting until at least 14 days post IUI for accurate results. Testing too early can lead to false negatives due to insufficient hormone levels. ## Conclusion ![Nutrition](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI3NjgiIGhlaWdodD0iNDkwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNzY4IDQ5MCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Nutrition - Saraogi Hospital") In conclusion, navigating the 7 days post IUI can be a period of mixed emotions and expectations.

Factors like genetic makeup can impact the timing of attachment. - **Uterine Receptivity:** The embryo and the uterus must work together for successful attachment. Variations in the receptivity of the uterine lining can contribute to late implantation. - **Hormonal Factors:** Hormonal imbalances, such as irregularities in progesterone levels, may affect the uterine environment. This can lead to delays in the implantation process. - **Age of the Woman:** Fertility declines with age. Advanced maternal age can influence the timing of implantation after FET. - **Endometrial Thickness:** Inadequate endometrial thickness may hinder the implantation process. This emphasizes the importance of a well-prepared uterine lining for successful embryo attachment. ***Curious if there are any benefits to late implantation after frozen embryo transfer? Let’s look at the potential advantages.*** ## Benefits Of Late Implantation: This section will explore the intriguing possibilities of late implantation after [FET](https://saraogihospital.com/frozen-embryo-transfers-6-things-to-know/').

This offers an ideal foundation for embryo attachment. It improves the chances of a healthy pregnancy. - **Balanced Hormonal Environment:** Additional time before implantation allows for a more balanced hormonal environment. It helps support the crucial interplay between hormones necessary for successful embryo attachment. - **Reduced Risk of Multiple Pregnancies:** Delayed implantation may contribute to a more controlled implantation process.

These cysts are quite common but often go unnoticed. If you start feeling really sick, there are simple things you can try to feel better. These changes in your body can be tough to deal with, especially when you’re pregnant. Doctors can spot these cysts with a regular ultrasound during pregnancy checkups. If you have one, they’ll monitor it to ensure it doesn’t cause problems. Most of the time, these cysts don’t affect your pregnancy or your baby.

They usually go away on their own and don’t need any special treatment. When you’re pregnant, your body undergoes many changes, and sometimes, these changes can cause cysts like these to form. While they might make you feel uncomfortable or cause a bit of pain, they are generally not dangerous for you or your baby. But if you find out you have one while you’re pregnant, your doctor will want to monitor it to make sure it doesn’t get bigger or cause any problems.

These cysts happen when a blood vessel in the cyst’s wall breaks and fills the cyst with blood. When you’re pregnant, your body makes a lot of hormones. These hormones can cause the ovaries to make cysts. Most of these cysts are not harmful and doctors often find them during regular pregnancy check-ups. One common type of cyst during pregnancy is the corpus luteum cyst, which sometimes can become a hemorrhagic cyst. The corpus luteum is very impocyst during pregnancy. In the early part of pregnancy, the ovary often produces a hormone that helps sustain the pregnancy until the placenta is ready to take over. Sometimes, this cyst can fill with blood, turning into a hemorrhagic cyst. Even though it’s not uncommon to have these cysts during pregnancy, they usually don’t cause any problems. Doctors keep an eye on them with ultrasound to see how big they get and if they change. Many times, these cysts go away on their own without needing any treatment. If you’re pregnant and worried about cysts, the best thing to do is talk to your doctor.

However, it can fill with blood and develop into a cyst. **Pregnancy Hormones:** Pregnancy brings about significant changes in the body’s chemical composition. These changes can sometimes lead to the formation of cysts. **Cyst Wall Breaks:** If the wall of the cyst breaks a little, blood can get inside and make it a hemorrhagic cyst. Mostly, these cysts are not a problem and disappear by themselves. But if you feel pain or something feels wrong, it’s always good to check with a doctor. ***Wondering about the causes of hemorrhagic cysts?*** [***Connect with us***](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ***for personalized insights and guidance.*** ***Hemorrhagic cysts during pregnancy necessitate a delicate balance between ensuring maternal health and safeguarding fetal well-being.*** ## Symptoms of hemorrhagic cyst during pregnancy ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDIiIGhlaWdodD0iNDAxIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAyIDQwMSI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Symptoms-of-hemorrhagic-cyst-during-pregnancy - Saraogi Hospital") When you have a hemorrhagic cyst during pregnancy, you might not always know it’s there because sometimes there are no symptoms.

It can show the cyst on your ovary and help the doctor see what it looks like. **Medical History and Physical Exam:** The doctor will discuss your symptoms and might check your stomach to see if it’s tender or swollen. **Blood Tests:** Sometimes, doctors do blood tests to check for signs of infection or other related issues. **Follow-up Ultrasounds:** If you have a cyst, the doctor might want to do more ultrasounds later to see if the cyst is getting bigger, smaller, or staying the same. Most of the time, hemorrhagic cysts during pregnancy are detected during a routine ultrasound. These cysts typically don’t cause issues and may resolve on their own. However, the doctor will monitor it closely to ensure both you and the baby are doing well. ***Worried about a hemorrhagic cyst during pregnancy?***[ ***Let us help***](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ***with accurate diagnosis and personalized care.*** ***Complications from a hemorrhagic cyst during pregnancy can include ovarian torsion, rupture, or interference with pregnancy progression.

Here are the general steps for treatment: **Monitoring:** Regular ultrasounds are used to check the cyst’s size and growth. Most of the time, doctors just keep an eye on it. **Pain Management:** If the cyst causes pain, doctors might recommend rest or suggest safe pain relief methods that won’t harm the baby. **Surgery:** In rare instances, if the cyst is exceptionally large, causing severe symptoms, or poses a risk of ovarian torsion (twisting of the ovary), surgery may be necessary. Surgery during pregnancy is conducted with great caution to avoid any harm to the baby. **Follow-up Care:** After treatment, you’ll have follow-up visits to make sure everything is okay with you and the cyst. ***It’s important to work closely with your healthcare provider to choose the best treatment plan for you and your baby, ensuring both safety and comfort.*** ***Seeking treatment options for a hemorrhagic cyst during pregnancy?* [*Contact us*](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) *for personalized care and expert guidance to ensure the well-being of you and your baby.*** ## Frequently Asked Questions ##### 1.

However, remember that not everyone experiences the same symptoms and some might not notice any at all. Here are some symptoms you could experience around 16 days after the transfer: - Positive Pregnancy Test: A dependable indicator of pregnancy is a pregnancy test, which measures the levels of hCG hormone detectable at this time. - Missed Period: On the other hand, for an irregular menstrual cycle, missing a period might also be the strongest sign of pregnancy. - Fatigue: Fatigue is common in early pregnancy due to hormonal changes, leading to increased excitement. - Breast Tenderness: You have to realise that your breasts can have some discomfort including tenderness, sensitivity or even heaviness. - Nausea or Morning Sickness: You might suddenly develop a queasy feeling or even vomit, which won’t just be a morning sickness, but can happen any time of the day. - Increased Urination: Chances are you will have to visit the bathroom far more frequently. - Cramping: Many young girls experience pain similar to menstrual cramps but with no period. - Difference in taste buds: Some of the foods you liked before may not be to your liking now, or perhaps you now strongly crave foods that you would never think of before. The smells also appear either stronger or different. It’s essential to know that these symptoms can also be caused by other factors and not necessarily mean pregnancy. The best way to confirm pregnancy is through a blood test at your doctor’s office, as it’s more accurate than home pregnancy tests. ***Experiencing symptoms 16 days after embryo transfer?* [*Connect*](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) *for guidance.*** *Curious about physical and emotional changes post-embryo transfer?

Here’s what you need to know: - hCG Hormone: This is why pregnancy tests work the way that they do. If it is there this means the embryo has implanted inside your womb and started to grow. - Levels: People differ, however if you are pregnant by now, the level of this hormone should be quite pronounced to show up in a test. A greater number shows progress. - Doubling Time: If you are pregnant then the quantity of this hormone will be increasing by 2 to 3 days as well. - Checking Again: Doctors could conduct some tests from time to time in order to monitor the expected increase in this hormone level. If the tests say your hCG level is going up, that’s usually a good sign that the pregnancy is doing well.

However, in some cases, despite multiple embryos being transferred, not all may successfully implant. For example, there have been cases where while there were 3 embryos transferred, only 1 implanted. Dr. Mohit Saraogi of Saraogi Hospital, a well-known [IVF Centre in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/), explains: **“IVF involves extracting mature eggs from a woman’s ovaries, fertilizing them with sperm in a lab, and then implanting the resulting embryo(s) into the uterus. Through careful selection and laboratory techniques, we can increase the chances of pregnancy.”** Are you curious why, out of the 3 embryos transferred, only 1 implanted successfully? Let’s dive into the intricacies of this phenomenon and understand the science behind it. Embryos Transferred, Only 1 Implanted – Why? ## Understanding the 16 days after embryo transfer ![Abdominal Pain](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI0MTQiIGhlaWdodD0iMjMxIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNDE0IDIzMSI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "implantation - Saraogi Hospital") An implantation means the embryo has attached to the uterine lining potentially leading to a successful pregnancy. When 3 embryos are transferred and only 1 implants, the other 2 embryos are absorbed by the body or expelled naturally. This can occur due to: - genetic or chromosomal abnormalities in the embryos - the health of the uterine lining - timing issues related to the implantation window Dr. Mohit Saraogi, a renowned [IVF doctor in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/), adds: **“Each embryo has its own likelihood of success based on these factors. The primary focus is to carefully monitor the health and development of the successfully implanted embryo to ensure a healthy pregnancy progresses.”** Are you experiencing difficulties with fertility? Please [consult](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) a certified IVF doctor to explore your options. Now, let’s understand… ## Why Are Multiple Embryos Transferred in IVF? ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MTIiIGhlaWdodD0iNDA4IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjEyIDQwOCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "multiple embyros transferred in IVF - Saraogi Hospital") Multiple embryos are often transferred to increase the chances of a successful pregnancy. This practice is based on the understanding that not all transferred embryos will implant. Transferring multiple embryos raises the likelihood of a viable pregnancy, especially in older patients or those with previous failed IVF cycles. Fortunately, state-of-the-art facilities like Saraogi [IVF Centre in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/) use advances in reproductive technology and embryo screening. Cutting-edge techniques help them tailor the number of embryos transferred to reduce risks and optimize outcomes. This brings us to a pivotal question… ## What Are the Success Rates of Embryo Implantation? The success rates of IVF treatments and embryo implantation range between 30% and 40%. The overall pregnancy rates per IVF cycle ranges from 30% to 45%. These rates are influenced strongly by factors like the woman’s age, embryo quality, specific [fertility](https://saraogihospital.com/fertility-tips-for-young-women-about-boosting-fertility-in-a-natural-way/) issues, and the quality of the IVF clinic and laboratory. [Technological advancements](https://saraogihospital.com/frozen-embryo-transfer-treatment-in-mumbai/) and improved protocols in both global and Indian IVF centers continue to enhance these success rates over time. For instance, Saraogi IVF Centre in Mumbai has an impressive IVF success rate exceeding 45%, which is above industry norms. Wondering about your chances of success with IVF? Please [consult](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) an experienced fertility doctor to understand how these statistics apply to your unique situation. Transferring multiple embryos can increase your chances of pregnancy, but it also comes with risks. Let’s take a closer look at these risks and how they might affect you. ## Risks of Transferring Multiple Embryos **![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIzODAiIGhlaWdodD0iMjUzIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgMzgwIDI1MyI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "risk of transferring multiple embryos - Saraogi Hospital")Multiple Pregnancies:** Increases the risk of twins or triplets, which can lead to complications for both the mother and the babies. **Preterm Birth:** Higher chance of delivering before full term, leading to potential health issues for the newborns. **Low Birth Weight:** Babies born from multiple pregnancies often have lower birth weights. **Miscarriage:** The risk of [miscarriage](https://saraogihospital.com/miscarriage-after-ivf-6-weeks/) is slightly higher with multiple pregnancies compared to single pregnancies. **Pregnancy Complications:** The mother is at a higher risk of pregnancy complications such as gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, and placental problems when carrying multiples.

Multiple embryo transfers are sometimes performed to increase the chances of pregnancy, particularly in assisted reproductive technologies like IVF. However, it is not uncommon for only one embryo to implant despite transferring multiple. Understanding the process and potential outcomes is crucial for managing expectations and preparing for the road ahead. Dive into our FAQ section to uncover the answers behind embryo implantation. ## FAQ ##### How do doctors decide how many embryos to transfer? Doctors decide how many embryos to transfer based on the patient’s age, embryo quality, and medical history. They aim to maximize the chances of pregnancy while minimizing the risk of multiple births. ##### What are the odds of getting pregnant with 3 embryos transferred? The odds of getting pregnant with 3 embryos transferred vary but generally increase with the number of embryos. However, transferring more embryos also raises the risk of multiple pregnancies, which can have complications. ##### Can you implant 3 embryos? Yes, you can implant 3 embryos, but the decision depends on individual circumstances and medical advice. Doctors consider factors like the patient’s health and the quality of the embryos before recommending the number to transfer. ##### What are the implications of single embryo implantation? Single embryo implantation reduces the risk of multiple pregnancies, which can be safer for both the mother and the baby. It also often leads to healthier pregnancy outcomes compared to multiple embryo transfers. ##### How do doctors monitor embryo implantation success? Doctors monitor embryo implantation success through blood tests to measure hormone levels and ultrasounds to visualize the developing embryo. These methods help confirm pregnancy and assess its progress. ##### Why might only one embryo implant successfully? Only one embryo might implant successfully due to various factors, including embryo quality, uterine environment, and individual health conditions. The body may naturally select the most viable embryo for implantation. ##### What happens if none of the transferred embryos implant? If none of the transferred embryos implant, doctors may reassess the treatment plan, considering factors like embryo quality and uterine receptivity. They may suggest another IVF cycle or alternative fertility treatments. **Reference Links:** **Categories:** Blog --- ### [Lower Abdominal Pain After 10 Days Of IUI](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/lower-abdominal-pain-after-10-days-of-iui/) **Published:** August 1, 2024 **Author:** Dr. Mohit Saraogi **Content:** # Lower Abdominal Pain After 10 Days Of IUI by [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/author/drmohitsaraogi/ "Posts by Dr. Mohit Saraogi") | Aug 1, 2024 ![Lower Abdominal Pain After 10 Days Of IUI](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDgwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjY3NSIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDEwODAgNjc1Ij48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojY2ZkNGRiO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg==) Infertility can be a challenging journey for many couples, but modern medical procedures offer hope. Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) is a popular treatment that can help overcome infertility. Dr. Saraogi, founder of Saraogi one of the [best IVF Centre in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/), elaborates on the IUI process: “Intrauterine Insemination is a fertility treatment during which we directly place sperm into the woman’s uterus.

However, while mild pain can be normal, you must not overlook persistent or severe pain.” Early medical intervention is essential to address any serious issues and ensure your health and safety during the fertility treatment process. Let’s dive deeper. ## What causes lower abdominal pain after 10 days of IUI? Several factors can cause lower abdominal pain after 10 days of IUI: **Implantation:** **![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI0MTQiIGhlaWdodD0iMjMxIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNDE0IDIzMSI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "implantation - Saraogi Hospital")** As the fertilized egg implants itself into the uterus lining, it can cause mild cramping or discomfort. **Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS):** This occurs when the ovaries overreact to the fertility drugs taken for [ovarian stimulation](https://saraogihospital.com/ovarian-stimulation-what-one-should-know/), causing swelling and pain. **Hormonal Changes:** The hormones used to stimulate ovulation and prepare the uterus for pregnancy can lead to abdominal pain. **Infection:** Though rare, any invasive procedure carries a risk of infection, which could lead to abdominal pain. **[Ectopic Pregnancy](https://saraogihospital.com/9-week-ectopic-pregnancy-surgery/):** **![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIzMTkiIGhlaWdodD0iMjEyIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgMzE5IDIxMiI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "ectopic pregnancy - Saraogi Hospital")** A severe but rare complication where the embryo implants outside the uterus, often causing significant pain.

Let’s explore further if this could be an early sign of pregnancy. ## Is lower abdominal pain after 10 days of IUI a sign of pregnancy? Lower abdominal pain after 10 days of IUI can sometimes be a sign of pregnancy, particularly if it results from implantation. Around this time, the fertilized egg attaches to the uterus lining, which can cause implantation cramping or discomfort. This pain is typically mild and short-lived. [Dr. Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/), a fertility specialist at Saraogi IVF Centre in Mumbai, says: **“While such symptoms can be hopeful signs, they are not definitive indicators of pregnancy.

This can be confusing and distressing, but several factors could lead to a negative result: - **Timing of Implantation:** Sometimes, the embryo may implant later than expected, causing a delay in the rise of the pregnancy hormone hCG. This may result in hCG levels being too low to detect on a home pregnancy test. - **Sensitivity of the Pregnancy Test:** Different pregnancy tests have varying sensitivities to hCG levels. If the test isn’t sensitive enough, it may not detect the hormone, leading to a negative result despite implantation. - **Low hCG Levels:** In some pregnancies, hCG levels rise more slowly than usual. It could result in a negative test even though pregnancy has begun. - [](https://saraogihospital.com/frozen-embryo-transfer-treatment-in-mumbai/)[**Frozen Embryo Transfers**](https://saraogihospital.com/frozen-embryo-transfer-treatment-in-mumbai/)**:** [Implantation timing](https://saraogihospital.com/late-implantation-after-frozen-embryo-transfer/) may be delayed when using frozen embryos, resulting in lower hCG levels detected on a pregnancy test. - **Chemical Pregnancy:** Sometimes, a very early pregnancy loss, known as a chemical pregnancy, can occur. In such cases, hCG levels may drop rapidly, resulting in a negative pregnancy test despite an earlier positive one. - **Human Error:** Errors in the testing process, such as testing too early, using an expired test, or not following instructions properly, can also lead to a false negative result. - **Medications:** Certain medications used during IVF can affect hormone levels, potentially leading to a negative test despite the presence of an early pregnancy. ## How Common is a Negative Pregnancy Test After Embryo Transfer? ![How Common is a Negative Pregnancy Test After Embryo Transfer](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MTIiIGhlaWdodD0iNDA4IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjEyIDQwOCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "How Common is a Negative Pregnancy Test After Embryo Transfer - Saraogi Hospital") Getting a negative pregnancy test 14 days after embryo transfer is not uncommon. The[ ](https://saraogihospital.com/3-embryos-transferred-only-1-implanted/)[success rate of embryo transfer](https://saraogihospital.com/3-embryos-transferred-only-1-implanted/) varies depending on factors such as age, fertility issues, and the quality of the embryos. Even under optimal conditions, a significant percentage of transfers may result in a negative test. Every individual’s fertility journey is unique. Factors like the timing of implantation and variations in hCG production play a crucial role in determining the test’s outcome. Hence, fertility specialists recommend confirming hCG presence through a blood test rather than relying solely on home tests. Concerned about your pregnancy test results? Speak with an expert to understand your situation better.[ ](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/)[Book your consultation now.](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) Still holding onto hope after a negative test? Let’s explore the possibilities. ## Can You Still Be Pregnant After a Negative Test 14 Days After Embryo Transfer? ![Can You Still Be Pregnant After a Negative Test 14 Days After Embryo Transfer](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MTIiIGhlaWdodD0iNDA4IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjEyIDQwOCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Can You Still Be Pregnant After a Negative Test 14 Days After Embryo Transfer - Saraogi Hospital") It is possible to test negative for pregnancy even if pregnant 14 days post embryo transfer for various reasons, including: - **Variation in hCG Levels:** Every individual’s hCG production varies. Some women naturally have lower hCG levels, which a home pregnancy test might not pick up at 14 days. - **Laboratory Testing Differences:** Blood tests for hCG are more sensitive and accurate than home pregnancy tests. A negative home test might be followed by a positive blood test, confirming pregnancy. - **Embryo Quality and Development:** The quality and development stage of the embryo can affect implantation timing and hCG production. A slower-developing embryo may initially result in lower hCG levels, which can cause a negative test. - **Test Timing and Accuracy:** Testing at a different time of day or using a different urine sample may yield different results. Morning urine typically has higher hCG concentrations. So, testing at other times may result in a negative test even if pregnant. - **Psychological Stress:** High levels of stress or anxiety can sometimes affect hormone levels. It can potentially impact hCG levels and lead to a negative test result even in early pregnancy. - **External Factors:** Factors such as hydration levels can dilute urine and affect the concentration of hCG, leading to a false negative. Drinking large amounts of fluid before testing may result in a negative test despite pregnancy. Wondering if your test result is accurate?

They may recommend a blood test (beta hCG) to confirm the accuracy of the home pregnancy test, as blood tests are more sensitive. - **Repeat the Pregnancy Test:** Your doctor may advise you to repeat the test after a few days. Sometimes, hCG levels rise slowly, and a subsequent test could provide a more accurate result. - **Consider Additional Testing:** If the negative result is confirmed, your doctor might suggest further tests to assess the reasons behind the unsuccessful transfer. These could include uterine evaluations, hormonal assessments, or genetic testing of embryos. - **Emotional Support and Counseling:** Facing a negative result can be difficult. Consider seeking help from a counsellor or joining a support group to process your emotions and plan your next steps. - **Planning Future IVF Cycles:** Discuss with your doctor the possibility of future IVF cycles. Based on the outcomes of this cycle, adjustments can be made to improve the chances of success in subsequent attempts. These may include changing the timing of embryo transfer or altering medication dosages. - **Consider Alternative Fertility Treatments:** If multiple IVF attempts have been unsuccessful, your fertility specialist may discuss alternative treatments, such as using[ ](https://saraogihospital.com/egg-donor-treatment-in-mumbai/)[donor eggs](https://saraogihospital.com/egg-donor-treatment-in-mumbai/) or exploring[ ](https://saraogihospital.com/surrogacy-in-mumbai/)[surrogacy](https://saraogihospital.com/surrogacy-in-mumbai/) options. ## Conclusion Dealing with a negative pregnancy test 14 days after embryo transfer can be a stressful experience, but it doesn’t mark the end of your fertility journey.

False negatives can occur, especially if testing too early or using a less sensitive test. ##### What should I do if my pregnancy test shows a faint line? A faint line could indicate early pregnancy or a very low hCG level. Consult with a specialist for a blood test to confirm. ##### What if I have a negative test but still have pregnancy symptoms?

For many, each phase of IVF is filled with anticipation, especially the period leading up to the pregnancy test. The emotions are understandably high, and a negative pregnancy test 14 days after embryo transfer can be disheartening. Dr. Mohit Saraogi of Saraogi Hospital, a prominent [IVF Centre in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/), notes, “The emotional rollercoaster experienced by patients is natural. A negative test does not necessarily mean the end of the road. The body often needs more time to adapt to the new developments.” This blog explores what a negative test result means, its possible causes, the best time for testing, and options for moving forward. ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MTIiIGhlaWdodD0iNDE2IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjEyIDQxNiI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "1 - Saraogi Hospital") Wondering why the test says negative? Here’s what might be going on! ## Is It Normal to Have a Negative Result? ![Can You Get a Negative Pregnancy Test 14 Days After Embryo Transfer](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MTIiIGhlaWdodD0iNjEyIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjEyIDYxMiI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "2 - Saraogi Hospital") Experiencing a negative pregnancy test 14 days after embryo transfer can feel concerning, but it’s more common than one might think. Here are a few reasons why it might happen: **Early Testing**: Taking a pregnancy test too early can sometimes yield a negative result. The embryo might still be in the early stages of development. **Slow Embryo Implantation**: For some, the embryo may take longer to attach and grow, affecting hormone levels and leading to a delayed positive result. **Hormone Levels Not High Enough**: Even after implantation, hCG levels may not be high enough for a test to detect, resulting in a false negative. **Embryo Development Variation**: Each embryo develops differently; sometimes, the process requires more time. Dr. Mohit Saraogi, an esteemed [IVF doctor in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/), shares, “Globally, we see several cases where a negative test eventually leads to a successful pregnancy. It’s essential to stay hopeful and remember that every journey is unique.” Could the timing be the reason for that result? Let’s find out! ## Ideal Timing for a Pregnancy Test After Embryo Transfer ![Can You Get a Negative Pregnancy Test 14 Days After Embryo Transfer](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MTIiIGhlaWdodD0iMzk5IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjEyIDM5OSI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "3 - Saraogi Hospital") The two-week wait after embryo transfer is one of the most significant yet challenging times for hopeful parents. During this period, an embryo is working to implant itself within the uterine lining, and the body is beginning to produce hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin)—the pregnancy hormone detectable in a test. However, taking a test too early in this process may result in a false negative simply because hCG levels haven’t risen enough to be detectable. Dr. Saraogi, an accomplished [infertility specialist](https://saraogihospital.com/icsi-treatment-in-mumbai/) in Mumbai, emphasizes, “Waiting the full 14 days is crucial for accuracy, as it gives the body sufficient time to produce enough hCG, making the results more reliable. A negative test result at this stage can be disheartening, but it may not be definitive. Factors like late implantation can affect the timing of hCG production and lead to a delayed positive test result.” Have you waited the recommended two weeks for testing? [Speak](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) with a skilled IVF doctor who can provide the clarity and guidance you need. Not sure what a negative result really indicates? Let’s explore. ## What Does a Negative Test Mean? A negative pregnancy test 14 days after embryo transfer does not necessarily mean pregnancy failure. It may signify delayed embryo implantation, lower-than-expected hCG levels, or an issue with the embryo’s ability to develop. ![Can You Get a Negative Pregnancy Test 14 Days After Embryo Transfer](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MTIiIGhlaWdodD0iNDA2IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjEyIDQwNiI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "4 - Saraogi Hospital") Dr. Saraogi, a proficient [IVF specialist in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/), explains, “While a negative test can be discouraging, factors such as late implantation or low hormone levels can play a role. In some cases, these factors correct themselves over time.” False negatives are possible due to hormone fluctuations or testing too soon, highlighting the importance of waiting before reaching conclusions. Curious if the result might be inaccurate? Here’s what could impact it. ## What Does a Negative Test Mean? **Can a Test Result Be Inaccurate?** False negatives can indeed happen, even 14 days after embryo transfer. Here are some factors that can affect test accuracy: **Testing Too Early**: Testing before hCG levels have had time to rise can lead to a negative result. **Test Sensitivity**: Some tests are not sensitive enough to detect lower hCG levels in the early stages of pregnancy. **Urine Concentration**: Diluted urine, often from excessive water intake before the test, can dilute hCG levels, affecting results. **Medication Interference**: Some medications, particularly hormonal ones, might interfere with the results. **Embryo Implantation Timing**: Late implantation means hCG levels rise later, which can yield a false negative on a test taken too soon. Are you worried about the accuracy of your test results? [Consult](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) a knowledgeable IVF specialist to ensure every detail is considered for a clear path forward.

Persistence can be key in the IVF journey.” ## Conclusion - Holding on to Hope Even if a test returns negative, remember that medical advancements in reproductive health and IVF techniques are constantly evolving, offering new options and higher success rates.

Dr. Mohit Saraogi of [Saraogi Hospital](https://saraogihospital.com/), one of the best IVF Centre in Mumbai, explains: “IVF is a sophisticated and effective procedure that involves fertilizing an egg outside the body, followed by the careful transfer of the embryo into the uterus. This step is crucial in the IVF journey, as it plays a significant role in achieving a successful pregnancy. However, as with any medical procedure, IVF can have side effects, and for some women, leg pain may be one of them.” With over 13 years of expertise, Dr. Saraogi is among the preferred fertility specialists for people seeking an [IVF doctor in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/). Have you experienced leg pain after embryo transfer and wondered what it could mean? It’s essential to [consult](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) a trusted IVF specialist to understand the cause and get the appropriate care. Wondering why your legs might be aching? Let’s dive into what could be causing it. ## Common Causes of Leg Pain 10 Days After Embryo Transfer ![Can You Get a Negative Pregnancy Test 14 Days After Embryo Transfer](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI1MTAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjEyIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNTEwIDYxMiI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "1 - Saraogi Hospital") **Hormonal Changes** During [IVF treatment](https://saraogihospital.com/ivf-a-viable-and-affordable-infertility-treatment/), the doctor administers hormonal medications to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs for retrieval and fertilization. These hormones can sometimes lead to fluid retention, which may cause discomfort and leg pain.**Implantation Cramping** As the embryo implants itself into the uterine lining, some women may experience mild cramping, which can radiate to the legs.**Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS)** In some cases, the ovaries may respond too aggressively to [fertility drugs](https://saraogihospital.com/ovarian-stimulation-what-one-should-know/), leading to OHSS. This condition can cause leg pain due to fluid buildup in the abdomen and legs.**Blood Clots** Although rare, the risk of blood clots increases during IVF treatment. Blood clots can lead to deep vein thrombosis (DVT), which manifests as leg pain or swelling.**Progesterone Supplementation** Progesterone is often prescribed during the early stages of pregnancy to support the uterine lining. This hormone can cause side effects like muscle cramps and leg pain. Curious if your leg pain could mean something more? Here’s what you need to know. ## Is Leg Pain 10 Days After Embryo Transfer a Sign of Pregnancy? ![Can You Get a Negative Pregnancy Test 14 Days After Embryo Transfer](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIzODAiIGhlaWdodD0iMjEzIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgMzgwIDIxMyI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "2 - Saraogi Hospital") Leg pain can be a complex symptom to interpret after an embryo transfer. “Leg pain alone isn’t a definitive sign of pregnancy,” says Dr. Mohit Saraogi, an eminent [fertility specialist](https://saraogihospital.com/infertility-treatment-mumbai/) from Saraogi Hospital & Iris IVF Centre in Mumbai. “However, when accompanied by other symptoms such as implantation bleeding or breast tenderness, it may suggest that the embryo has successfully implanted. While leg pain might be related to the pregnancy, it’s crucial not to jump to conclusions without considering other factors.” As mentioned earlier, leg pain might be due to hormonal changes or the body’s response to the medications used during the IVF process. Consider these possibilities alongside other symptoms to get a clearer picture of what might be happening in your body. Not all pain is created equal—find out when it’s time to see a doctor. ## When Should I Be Concerned About Leg Pain 10 Days After Embryo Transfer? ![Can You Get a Negative Pregnancy Test 14 Days After Embryo Transfer](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIyNTMiIGhlaWdodD0iMzgwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgMjUzIDM4MCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "3 - Saraogi Hospital") If you’re experiencing leg pain after 10 days of [embryo transfer](https://saraogihospital.com/16-days-after-embryo-transfer/), closely monitoring your symptoms is essential.

A critical step in IVF is embryo transfer, during which selected embryos are placed into the uterus. While this milestone brings hope, it can also cause anxiety during the 14 days post embryo transfer phase, when pregnancy tests are often conducted. Understanding what to expect in this crucial period is essential for determining the outcome of the IVF cycle. Dr. Mohit Saraogi, the chief IVF specialist at [Saraogi Hospital](https://saraogihospital.com/), recognized as one of the best IVF centre in Mumbai, explains: “The 14-day wait can be emotionally tough. Tracking symptoms and following your doctor’s advice can significantly improve your chances of success. Remember, each patient’s journey is unique, and the presence or absence of symptoms does not always predict outcomes. Patience and proper guidance are essential.” With years of experience, Dr. Mohit Saraogi, one of the best [IVF doctor](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/) in Mumbai, has assisted numerous couples through personalized treatment plans tailored to their specific needs. His expertise in reproductive medicine, combined with the hospital’s advanced technology, ensures the best possible patient outcomes. Wondering what happens during this critical period? Let’s explore the key changes your body undergoes during these 14 days. ## What to Expect 14 Days After Embryo Transfer? ![Can You Get a Negative Pregnancy Test 14 Days After Embryo Transfer](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI0NzYiIGhlaWdodD0iMjYwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNDc2IDI2MCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "What to Expect 14 Days After Embryo Transfer - Saraogi Hospital") After embryo transfer, the body begins adjusting to hormonal changes. The 14-day period after embryo transfer is critical. During this time, the embryo either implants in the uterine lining or doesn’t. Symptoms like mild cramping, light spotting (implantation bleeding), or breast tenderness are common and may indicate successful implantation. However, the absence of symptoms does not necessarily mean the transfer was unsuccessful. HCG levels, measured through a beta test, typically rise around day 14 post-transfer. During this phase, a blood test is more accurate than a home pregnancy test. Consulting a specialist will ensure proper guidance based on your unique case. Your fertility journey deserves expert care. Get in touch with a seasoned specialist for personalized guidance.

Dr. Mohit Saraogi advises, ***“Listen to your body but avoid jumping to conclusions. 14 days post embryo transfer symptoms can vary widely, and only a professional evaluation can confirm results.”*** Staying hydrated, avoiding stress, and following your doctor’s recommendations can improve your experience during this time.

Testing too early may lead to unnecessary stress due to low HCG levels that are not yet detectable. Wait for your doctor’s guidance before testing to ensure accurate results.

Implantation bleeding usually occurs 6-12 days after transfer, so bleeding at 17 days is less likely to be implantation-related. However, in rare cases, delayed implantation can cause spotting. It’s best to get a beta hCG test to confirm pregnancy. ##### 2 - How can I tell if bleeding is due to implantation, hormonal changes, or a potential complication? – Implantation bleeding is light, pinkish/brown, and lasts a few hours to 2 days. – Hormonal changes may cause spotting but usually stop within a day or two. – Complications like miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy come with heavy bleeding, pain, and clotting. ##### 3 - Does bleeding at this stage mean my IVF cycle was unsuccessful? Not necessarily. Some women experience bleeding but still have a successful pregnancy. A beta hCG test is the best way to confirm if your IVF cycle was successful. If hCG levels are low or dropping, it may indicate an unsuccessful cycle. **References:** 1. American Society for Reproductive Medicine –[](https://www.asrm.org)[asrm.org](https://www.asrm.org) 2.

Is it a sign of implantation or something to worry about? Light bleeding or spotting during this phase is not uncommon and may indicate several things, including implantation, hormonal fluctuations, or cervical irritation. Understanding the context and causes is crucial, especially during the emotionally delicate two-week wait period following an embryo transfer. At Saraogi Hospital, one of Mumbai’s leading fertility centers, [Dr. Mohit Saraogi ](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/)and his expert team have supported thousands of patients through such concerns. Dr. Saraogi says, “It’s natural to feel alarmed at the sight of spotting after embryo transfer. But not all bleeding is a bad sign. Timely evaluation and support can make a big difference.” This blog dives deep into what spotting at this stage could mean, how to differentiate it from a period, and what steps you should take next. Whether you are undergoing [IVF](https://saraogihospital.com/ivf-a-viable-and-affordable-infertility-treatment/) for the first time or navigating repeated cycles, this guide provides clarity and reassurance directly from specialists at [IRIS IVF Centre, Saraogi Hospital](https://saraogihospital.com/). ## Is Spotting 8 Days After IVF Transfer Normal? ![Can You Get a Negative Pregnancy Test 14 Days After Embryo Transfer](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MTIiIGhlaWdodD0iNDA4IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjEyIDQwOCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Picture2 - Saraogi Hospital") Spotting eight days after an IVF transfer is not unusual. In fact, it may be a sign of implantation, especially if the embryo has successfully attached to the uterine lining. Implantation bleeding typically occurs between 6 to 10 days after transfer, so light pink or brownish discharge at this point can be entirely normal. However, every woman’s body reacts differently, and individual symptoms can vary. According to Dr. Mohit Saraogi, *“* Roughly 15-25% of women undergoing IVF may experience spotting or light bleeding during the implantation window. It is often harmless but should still be monitored.” **Concerned about spotting after IVF?

Here are the most common 13 days after IUI symptoms: ![Mild cramping](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDAwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjY2NyIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDEwMDAgNjY3Ij48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojY2ZkNGRiO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg== "Mild cramping - Saraogi Hospital") ### Mild cramping Light abdominal or pelvic cramps could be due to implantation or hormonal shifts. ![Fatigue](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDAwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjY2NyIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDEwMDAgNjY3Ij48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojY2ZkNGRiO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg== "Fatigue - Saraogi Hospital") ### Fatigue A drop in energy levels is often noted as progesterone levels rise. ![Breast tenderness](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDAwIiBoZWlnaHQ9Ijc1MCIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDEwMDAgNzUwIj48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojY2ZkNGRiO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg== "Breast tenderness - Saraogi Hospital") ### Breast tenderness Swollen or sensitive breasts can be an early sign of pregnancy. ![13 days after IUI white discharge](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDAwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjY2NyIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDEwMDAgNjY3Ij48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojY2ZkNGRiO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg== "13 days after IUI white discharge - Saraogi Hospital") ### 13 days after IUI white discharge A creamy or whitish discharge can indicate increased progesterone levels, often associated with early pregnancy. ![Mood swings or emotional sensitivity](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDAwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjYzMCIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDEwMDAgNjMwIj48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojY2ZkNGRiO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg== "Mood swings or emotional sensitivity - Saraogi Hospital") ### Mood swings or emotional sensitivity Hormonal fluctuations may lead to heightened emotions. ![Rest and Recovery](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI0ODgiIGhlaWdodD0iMzIzIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNDg4IDMyMyI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Rest and Recovery - Saraogi Hospital") ### Spotting Light pink or brown spotting may be implantation bleeding, which typically occurs between days 6 and 12. *Stat Alert:* According to the American Pregnancy Association, around 30% of women undergoing IUI report early pregnancy symptoms by day 13, but these signs can also overlap with PMS. **Quote from Dr. Mohit Saraogi: “White discharge 13 days after IUI is generally normal and often hormonal in nature, but if it’s accompanied by itching or odor, consult your doctor.” **Noticing unusual symptoms 13 days after IUI?

This is the million-dollar question—should you test now or wait? Technically, by day 13 post IUI, your body could be producing detectable levels of hCG (the pregnancy hormone). However, there are a few important considerations: - **Accuracy risk:**Testing too early might yield a false negative if hCG hasn’t reached testable levels. - **Trigger shot confusion:**If you received a hCG trigger shot (like Ovidrel), testing too early might detect that synthetic hormone instead of a pregnancy. 🧪 *Recommendation:* Dr. Saraogi advises testing no earlier than 14 days post IUI for the most accurate results, ideally using a blood test (beta-hCG) rather than a home urine test. **Quote from Dr. Saraogi: “Testing at 13 days is tempting but waiting until day 14 ensures greater accuracy, especially with a blood test.” **Ready for answers?** [**Schedule**](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) **a beta-hCG test at Saraogi IVF Centre and end the guessing game.** ***Let’s dive deeper:*** ## What Steps Can I Take to Ensure a Successful Outcome After IUI? You’ve done the IUI and now you’re in the wait—but that doesn’t mean your job is done. Supporting implantation and early pregnancy is still an active part of the process. Here’s what you can do post-IUI to help your chances: - **Stay hydrated:**Good hydration supports overall health and helps maintain ideal cervical mucus. - **Gentle exercise:**Light walking helps circulation but avoid strenuous workouts. - **Prioritize sleep and stress management:**Sleep boosts progesterone production; stress can disrupt hormone balance. - **Avoid heat and alcohol:**Skip saunas and hot baths, and refrain from alcohol entirely. - **Take your meds:**If you’re on progesterone supplements or any other medications, follow your doctor’s schedule religiously. - **Eat a fertility-friendly diet:**Include leafy greens, lean protein, folic acid, and omega-3s. 🌿 *Real Talk:* Studies show that lifestyle changes and mental wellness can improve IUI success rates by up to 20%. **Quote from Dr. Saraogi: “Even minor daily choices—like what you eat or how you manage stress—can make a significant difference post IUI.” **Need a post-IUI checklist tailored to your journey?** [**Contact Saraogi IVF Centre**](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) **today for expert support.** ***But what if it doesn’t go as planned?*** ## Conclusion – Navigating the 13 Day Post IUI Phase with Confidence The 13 day post IUI milestone is emotionally intense, physically puzzling, and filled with “what-ifs.” But it’s also a critical point that brings you closer to your answer.

Whether it’s thick, light, or slightly creamy, you’re likely wondering—is this a good sign or something to worry about? Here’s the comforting truth: in most cases, it’s perfectly normal. But knowing what’s “normal” versus what’s “concerning” is key to staying calm and informed. As one of Mumbai’s most respected IVF specialists, [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/) shares, “White discharge 2 days post embryo transfer is usually hormonal. It’s one of the earliest responses your body may show as it adjusts to progesterone support.” In this blog, we’ll explore why it happens, what it may indicate about implantation, and when it’s time to call your [fertility clinic](https://saraogihospital.com/infertility-treatment-mumbai/). If you’re looking for answers, reassurance, and real medical guidance—you’re in the right place. ## Is White Discharge 2 Days After Embryo Transfer Normal? Absolutely—white discharge 2 days after [embryo transfer](https://saraogihospital.com/frozen-embryo-transfer-treatment-in-mumbai/) is not only common but often expected. IVF protocols usually involve progesterone supplements (via injections, vaginal gels, or suppositories), and these can stimulate the cervix and increase vaginal discharge. 📊 *Stat Spotlight:* A study published in *Human Reproduction* reports that over 60% of IVF patients experience increased vaginal discharge within 3–5 days of embryo transfer due to hormone fluctuations. You might notice: - Clear or white discharge - A thick or creamy texture - No foul odor or irritation **Dr. Saraogi’s Note: “Unless it’s accompanied by a strong odor, itching, or unusual color, white discharge this early is usually a harmless sign of your body responding to IVF medications.” **Curious if your symptoms are normal? Speak with** [**Dr. Saraogi’s**](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) **team today and get expert clarity on your IVF progress.** ***But wait, what exactly causes this?*** ## What Are the Possible Causes of White Discharge After Embryo Transfer? The causes are mostly linked to hormonal changes and fertility medications. Here’s what could be behind that white discharge 2 days post embryo transfer: ![Progesterone Support](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDAwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjY2NyIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDEwMDAgNjY3Ij48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojY2ZkNGRiO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg== "Progesterone Support - Saraogi Hospital") ### Progesterone Support Most embryo transfer protocols involve progesterone, which thickens the uterine lining and boosts cervical secretions. This often leads to thick white discharge after embryo transfer. ![Embryo Implantation](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDAwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjY2NyIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDEwMDAgNjY3Ij48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojY2ZkNGRiO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg== "Embryo Implantation - Saraogi Hospital") ### Embryo Implantation Activity While it’s still early, your uterus might be gearing up for implantation, which involves internal changes that can influence discharge consistency. ![Vaginal Medication Residue](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIyNTYwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjE3MDkiIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCAyNTYwIDE3MDkiPjxyZWN0IHdpZHRoPSIxMDAlIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEwMCUiIHN0eWxlPSJmaWxsOiNjZmQ0ZGI7ZmlsbC1vcGFjaXR5OiAwLjE7Ii8+PC9zdmc+ "reproductive-system-syringe-top-view - Saraogi Hospital") ### Vaginal Medication Residue If you’re using vaginal progesterone (like Crinone or Endometrin), what you see may partly be residue or gel mixed with natural discharge. ![Hormonal Shifts](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDAwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjY2NyIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDEwMDAgNjY3Ij48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojY2ZkNGRiO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg== "Hormonal Shifts - Saraogi Hospital") ### Hormonal Shifts Fluctuating estrogen and progesterone levels can cause the cervix to become more active, creating more visible discharge. ![Early Pregnancy Response Possibly](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIyNTYwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjE3MDciIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCAyNTYwIDE3MDciPjxyZWN0IHdpZHRoPSIxMDAlIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEwMCUiIHN0eWxlPSJmaWxsOiNjZmQ0ZGI7ZmlsbC1vcGFjaXR5OiAwLjE7Ii8+PC9zdmc+ "change text in adobe - Saraogi Hospital") ### Early Pregnancy Response (Possibly) Though it’s still too early for definitive signs, early hormonal activity might contribute to increased discharge as your body prepares for implantation. ***Let’s connect the dots with what this could mean:*** ## Can White Discharge Be an Early Sign of Implantation or Pregnancy? Yes, it can be—though it’s not a guarantee. Around 2–5 days post embryo transfer is when the embryo might begin the process of attaching itself to the uterine lining. This stage may trigger mild cramping, spotting, or subtle discharge changes. 🔍 *Key Insight:* “Thick white discharge after embryo transfer can sometimes indicate increased progesterone activity, which is essential for maintaining early pregnancy,” explains Dr. Saraogi. However, white discharge on its own—without spotting or implantation pain—should not be taken as a standalone pregnancy symptom. It’s part of a bigger picture that includes: - Slight body temperature rise - Breast sensitivity - Mood shifts **Think you’re seeing early signs of implantation? Schedule a follow-up at** [**Saraogi IVF Centre**](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) **for personalized feedback and next steps.** ***But what if things don’t seem quite right?*** ## When Should I Contact My Doctor About Discharge After Embryo Transfer? While white discharge 2 days post embryo transfer is usually no cause for concern, certain changes should prompt you to reach out: - **Foul-smelling discharge**(could signal infection) - **Green or yellow discharge**(not typical for hormonal changes) - **Accompanied by itching, burning, or irritation - **Heavy bleeding or clotting**(could indicate complications) 💡 *Pro Tip:* Keep a daily log of your symptoms—this helps your fertility specialist track patterns and intervene early if needed. **Quote from Dr. Saraogi: “If discharge becomes unusually colored or causes discomfort, don’t wait.

White discharge 2 days after embryo transfer is generally your body’s normal, healthy reaction to hormonal support or early uterine activity. Whether it’s thick white discharge after embryo transfer or a lighter, creamy flow—these symptoms alone are rarely a cause for concern. However, always pay attention to any accompanying changes like color, smell, or irritation. Trust your instincts—and lean on the support of a clinic that listens.

Often referred to as the midpoint of the “two-week wait,” this time is filled with questions about what’s normal, what’s not, and how to support potential implantation. Whether you’re looking for reassurance or clarity, this phase is critical in your IVF journey. “At 7 days post embryo transfer, subtle changes in your body may indicate early pregnancy processes. But every case is different—avoid overinterpreting every symptom,” says [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/), a leading IVF expert at Saraogi [IVF Centre in Mumbai.](https://saraogihospital.com/) With over 18,000 fertility success stories, Dr. Saraogi and his team offer unmatched support and advanced care during this sensitive stage.

In fact, it may be a sign of implantation, especially if the embryo has successfully attached to the uterine lining. Implantation bleeding typically occurs between 6 to 10 days after transfer, so light pink or brownish discharge at this point can be entirely normal. However, every woman’s body reacts differently, and individual symptoms can vary. According to Dr. Mohit Saraogi, *“* Roughly 15-25% of women undergoing IVF may experience spotting or light bleeding during the implantation window. It is often harmless but should still be monitored.” **Have questions about your IVF progress? Book a [consult](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) with Dr. Mohit Saraogi for expert guidance.** ***Let’s dive deeper:*** ## What Symptoms Are Common 7 Days After Embryo Transfer? Around 7 days post embryo transfer, many individuals report early signs possibly related to implantation or hormonal changes. These symptoms include: - **Mild cramping –** light, pulling sensations in the lower abdomen - **Spotting or [light bleeding](https://saraogihospital.com/light-bleeding-after-14-days-of-iui/) –** known as implantation bleeding, typically light pink or brown - **Breast tenderness –** swollen or sore breasts from rising progesterone - **Fatigue –** a feeling of tiredness or sluggishness - **Bloating –** mild abdominal fullness due to hormonal fluctuations It’s crucial to note that these symptoms may also result from [IVF](https://saraogihospital.com/about/) medications and are not guaranteed indicators of pregnancy. **Noticing symptoms 7 days after embryo transfer? [Schedule](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) your personalized check-in at Saraogi IVF Centre.** ***But wait, there’s more!*** ## Is Light Cramping or Spotting Normal at This Stage? Yes, light[ cramping](https://saraogihospital.com/cramping-5-days-post-iui/) or spotting 7 days after embryo transfer is typically normal and may signal embryo implantation. Implantation usually occurs between 6–10 days post-transfer, so this timing aligns perfectly. However, it’s essential to differentiate between light spotting and heavier bleeding. If the discharge becomes red, heavy, or is accompanied by severe pain, consult your fertility specialist immediately. “[Spotting](https://saraogihospital.com/spotting-8-days-after-ivf-transfer-what-you-need-to-know/) during this time is often misunderstood.

Home pregnancy tests measure hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin), which may not be at detectable levels yet. If you took an hCG trigger shot, testing early could yield a false positive due to residual hormones. Dr. Saraogi recommends waiting 10–14 days post-transfer for the most reliable result, ideally via a beta-hCG blood test. **Unsure about pregnancy testing? Schedule your beta-hCG test at [Saraogi IVF Centre](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) for accurate answers.** ***But wait, there’s more!*** ## What Should I Avoid During This Stage to Support Implantation? Supporting implantation during this time is essential. Dr. Saraogi suggests avoiding the following to maximize your chances: - **Strenuous exercise** – intense physical activity may disturb implantation - **Sexual intercourse** – advised against to reduce uterine contractions - **Hot baths and saunas** – elevated body temperature can hinder implantation - **Alcohol and caffeine** – may affect uterine lining and hormone levels - **Stress** – use relaxation techniques like yoga or meditation to stay calm “Small daily choices can significantly impact embryo implantation.

Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) is one such treatment that’s less invasive and often a first step before moving to more advanced procedures like IVF. It’s designed to increase the chances of fertilization by directly inserting washed sperm into the uterus during ovulation.While the procedure itself is relatively simple, it can lead to various symptoms post-treatment—one of the most commonly reported being breast pain after IUI. This discomfort often leaves patients wondering if it’s a hopeful sign of pregnancy or a side effect of hormonal medications. According to Dr. Mohit Saraogi, “Breast tenderness post-IUI is a common occurrence and usually linked to hormonal fluctuations rather than immediate pregnancy outcomes.” Dr. Mohit Saraogi, a celebrated fertility and IVF specialist, leads the esteemed [Saraogi IVF Centre](https://saraogihospital.com/) in Mumbai, a facility known for cutting-edge [fertility treatments](https://saraogihospital.com/infertility-treatment-mumbai/) and compassionate patient care. Located in Mumbai, the center has served over 18,000 patients with a wide spectrum of services, including [IVF](https://saraogihospital.com/test-tube-baby-centres-mumbai/), IUI, [ICSI](https://saraogihospital.com/icsi-treatment-in-mumbai/), and fertility preservation. With a legacy spanning over 40 years, Dr. Mohit Saraogi and his [team of infertility specialists](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/) in Mumbai have established a reputation for excellence, offering hope and results to those struggling with fertility issues. ## Is Spotting 8 Days After IVF Transfer Normal? ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MTIiIGhlaWdodD0iNjEyIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjEyIDYxMiI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "u1 - Saraogi Hospital") Yes, breast pain following an [IUI procedure](https://saraogihospital.com/iui-treatment-in-mumbai/) is quite common and is typically attributed to the hormonal medications administered during the IUI cycle. These medications, particularly those containing progesterone or human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), can stimulate the breast tissue, causing tenderness, swelling, or discomfort. This tenderness is not exclusive to IUI—it’s a familiar experience for many women during their menstrual cycles or early pregnancy. While it’s easy to assume that breast pain could be a sign of conception, in most cases, it reflects hormonal changes after IUI rather than pregnancy itself. Nevertheless, it’s always important to remain observant of your symptoms and discuss any severe or unusual pain with a fertility expert. If you are looking for the best IVF Centre in Mumbai to start your family, Saraogi Hospital is here to take care of you. [Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) *Curious about what triggers this pain in the first place? Here’s what might be causing it.* ## What causes breast tenderness following an IUI procedure? Z **Hormonal Medications:** Progesterone and hCG shots are common culprits. These hormones prepare the uterus for implantation but often result in swollen or painful breasts. Z **Ovulation Induction Drugs:** Medications like Clomiphene Citrate or Letrozole used to stimulate ovulation can disrupt normal hormonal balance. Z **Progesterone Supplements:** Often prescribed post-IUI, they can increase sensitivity in breast tissue. Z **Fluid Retention:** Hormonal treatments can cause mild water retention, making breast tissues more sensitive. Z **Psychological Stress:** Anxiety and anticipation can cause increased body awareness, amplifying sensations like breast pain. *Wondering if your breast pain could mean you’re pregnant? Let’s dive deeper.* ## Could breast pain be an early sign of pregnancy after IUI? ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MTIiIGhlaWdodD0iNDA4IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjEyIDQwOCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "u2 - Saraogi Hospital") Breast pain can indeed be an early pregnancy symptom, but in the context of IUI, it can be misleading. During early pregnancy, hormonal changes—especially a surge in progesterone—can cause breast sensitivity. However, similar changes are also induced artificially during the IUI cycle, making it difficult to differentiate based solely on breast pain.Breast pain associated with pregnancy usually occurs within a week or two after conception. Therefore, while tenderness may be a hopeful sign, it is not an absolute pregnancy indicator. The sole method of ascertaining pregnancy after IUI is a beta-hCG blood [test](https://saraogihospital.com/13-day-post-iui-what-to-expect-how-to-test-dr-saraogis-expert-tips/), which is usually conducted 14 days following the procedure. As Dr. Mohit Saraogi advises, “Symptoms like breast tenderness are not exclusive indicators. For accurate results, rely on clinical testing and stay patient.” ## When should I consult my doctor about breast discomfort post-IUI? ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MTIiIGhlaWdodD0iNDA4IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjEyIDQwOCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "u3 - Saraogi Hospital") Z **Severe Pain or Swelling:** Pain that is severe or one breast that feels much larger may mean something that should be addressed by a doctor. Z **Unusual Discharge:** Nipple discharge of any kind, particularly bloody or clear, should be examined. Z **Persistent Pain:** Pain that persists for more than two weeks after IUI should be investigated. Z **Fever or Redness:** Infection signs like redness, fever, or warmth should not be overlooked. Z **Lump Formation:** Any new lump, whether painful or painless, must be evaluated at once. Don’t delay if anything doesn’t feel right. It’s all about early detection and treatment.

A total hysterectomy, which involves removing the uterus and cervix, is often seen as a last resort for those with severe endometriosis. Yet, for some, the pain continues even after surgery. “Endometriosis doesn’t always end with the uterus,” says Dr. Mohit Saraogi, one of Mumbai’s leading [IVF](https://saraogihospital.com/) and gynecology specialists at [Saraogi Hospital](https://saraogihospital.com/about/). With over 13 years of experience and a track record of treating over 18,000 fertility cases, Dr. Saraogi provides expert insights on why this condition may persist post-surgery. In this blog, we explore why Endometriosis After Hysterectomy occurs, its treatment options, and when to consult a specialist. Still in pain after hysterectomy? Book a consultation at Saraogi IVF Centre today. [Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) Let’s begin with the basics: ## Is it Possible to Have Endometriosis After a Total Hysterectomy? Yes. [Endometriosis](https://saraogihospital.com/endometriosis-treatment-in-mumbai/) can persist or recur after a total hysterectomy. While the uterus and cervix are removed, endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus may remain and reactivate. This is especially true if the ovaries are preserved. Ovaries produce estrogen—a hormone that fuels the growth of endometrial tissue. Even in cases where ovaries are removed, tiny implants left behind during surgery can still cause symptoms, particularly if estrogen therapy is later introduced. “About 10–15% of women may experience recurrent endometriosis symptoms even after hysterectomy,” explains Dr. Saraogi. Concerned about symptoms post-surgery? Schedule a review with Dr. Saraogi. [Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) Let’s explore what causes this recurrence: ## What Are the Causes of Persistent or Recurring Endometriosis Symptoms Post-Hysterectomy? ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxNjgwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjExNzYiIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCAxNjgwIDExNzYiPjxyZWN0IHdpZHRoPSIxMDAlIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEwMCUiIHN0eWxlPSJmaWxsOiNjZmQ0ZGI7ZmlsbC1vcGFjaXR5OiAwLjE7Ii8+PC9zdmc+ "What Are the Causes of Persistent or Recurring Endometriosis Symptoms Post-Hysterectomy - Saraogi Hospital") Several reasons may explain ongoing symptoms after surgery: - **Retained Ovaries:** Continued estrogen production stimulates residual implants. - **Microscopic Residual Tissue:** Not all lesions are visible during surgery and may be missed. - **Hormone Replacement Therapy:** Estrogen therapy can reignite dormant lesions. - **Ovarian Remnant Syndrome:** Rare, but leftover ovarian tissue may secrete hormones. - **Misdiagnosis:** Conditions like adenomyosis may mimic endometriosis pain. “Even with complete removal, residual cells can trigger Post-[Hysterectomy](https://saraogihospital.com/what-is-hysteroscopy/) Pelvic Pain,” says Dr. Saraogi.

Z **Laparoscopic Surgery:** In select cases, surgical removal of remaining lesions may be necessary. Z **Pain Management:** Anti-inflammatory or nerve-targeting medications help relieve discomfort.

One of the most effective solutions for many is In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), where fertilized embryos are transferred into the uterus to initiate pregnancy. A growing number of IVF specialists now use frozen embryo transfer (FET) due to its flexibility and improved success rates. While the embryo transfer is a pivotal step in the IVF process, the real anticipation begins in the days that follow. Specifically, 3 days after frozen embryo transfer is a period that brings both curiosity and concern.According to Dr. Mohit Saraogi, a [distinguished IVF doctor](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/) in Mumbai, “This early post-transfer phase is crucial, even if subtle. Many physiological changes begin to occur that aren’t immediately visible, but they lay the groundwork for successful implantation.” At [Saraogi IVF Centre](https://saraogihospital.com/) in Mumbai, you’ll find a blend of compassion, precision, and unmatched expertise. Under the guidance of Dr. Mohit Saraogi, the center has helped over 18,000 patients through personalized treatments, advanced reproductive technologies, and compassionate care. Whether it’s [IVF](https://saraogihospital.com/test-tube-baby-centres-mumbai/), [ICSI](https://saraogihospital.com/icsi-treatment-in-mumbai/), [IMSI](https://saraogihospital.com/imsi-treatment-in-mumbai/), or Frozen Embryo Transfer treatment in Mumbai, the seasoned team at [Saraogi Hospital](https://saraogihospital.com/about/) excels in tailoring plans that optimize results. At this renowned facility, patients gain access to the latest fertility innovations alongside the deep expertise of some of the most respected infertility specialists in India. *In this blog, we’ll discuss what to expect 3 days after Frozen Embryo Transfer, covering symptoms, dos and don’ts, and how to make this waiting time a little less daunting.* ## What symptoms can be expected 3 days after frozen embryo transfer? ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIyNjAiIGhlaWdodD0iMjgwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgMjYwIDI4MCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "u2 - Saraogi Hospital") At three days post-transfer, it’s too early for a pregnancy test, but your body may already be reacting to the implanted embryo. Here are the typical symptoms many women report: - **Mild Cramping:** Like menstrual cramping, these suggest changes in the uterus that may be implantation-related. - **Breast Tenderness:** A normal hormonal reaction, usually from progesterone supplementation. - **Fatigue:** An indication that your body is hormonally adjusting and potentially gearing up for early pregnancy. - [**Light Spotting**](https://saraogihospital.com/spotting-8-days-after-ivf-transfer-what-you-need-to-know/)**:** Also referred to as implantation bleeding, this may happen when the embryo implants into the uterine lining. - **Bloating or Constipation:** From hormone medications, many feel gastrointestinal discomfort. - **Mood Swings:** Emotional changes may be caused by both stress and the flush of reproductive hormones. - **Increased Basal Body Temperature:** A few women experience a steady increase, commonly associated with progesterone activity. These are positive signs after embryo transfer, but not having these signs doesn’t mean failure. Feeling unsure about the signs your body is showing? Connect with a fertility expert for personalized guidance and support. [Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) *Are mild cramps or a wave of tiredness something to be concerned about? Let’s find out why these are more normal than you would have imagined.* ## Is mild cramping or fatigue normal at this stage post-transfer? ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIzOTAiIGhlaWdodD0iMjgwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgMzkwIDI4MCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "u3 - Saraogi Hospital") Yes, both are usually normal and do not need to worry about. Cramping, which is usually considered a negative symptom, may be a part of the 3 days embryo transfer implantation timeline. It’s usually the body’s reaction to the embryo nesting into the endometrial lining. Fatigue is one of the common symptoms that arise early as a result of progesterone medication and bodily internal adaptations. The hormone mimics early pregnancy reactions, leading to a drop in energy levels and frequent dizziness. According to Dr. Mohit Saraogi, an award-winning infertility specialist in Mumbai, “Patients must understand that mild symptoms like fatigue or cramps are part of the hormonal environment we’re creating to support implantation. Unless they become severe or persist unusually, they are reassuring.” *Looking to boost your chances of successful implantation? Let’s discuss some essential tips to support your body during this crucial stage.* ## What should I do to support implantation during the early days after embryo transfer? ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIzOTAiIGhlaWdodD0iMjgwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgMzkwIDI4MCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "u4 - Saraogi Hospital") Boosting implantation chances involves small yet effective lifestyle habits. Here’s how to optimize conditions 3 days after [frozen embryo transfer](https://saraogihospital.com/frozen-embryo-transfer-treatment-in-mumbai/): - **Rest, But Not Complete Bed Rest:** Light movement like walking improves blood flow to the uterus. - **Hydrate Well:** Helps keep your system balanced and promotes cell activity. - **Maintain a Balanced Diet:** Focus on warm foods, healthy proteins, and implantation-supportive nutrients like folate and zinc. - **Stress Management:** Practice breathing exercises, meditation, or listen to relaxing music. - **Follow Medication Strictly:** Especially progesterone and estrogen supplements that prepare your uterine lining. - **Avoid Hot Baths/Saunas:** Heat exposure can adversely affect implantation. - **Sleep Well:** Your body needs adequate rest for hormonal regulation and uterine support. *Let’s explore the must-avoid medications and activities during this delicate period.* ## Are there any activities or medications I should avoid 3 days after the procedure? - **Heavy Lifting and Strenuous Workouts:** These can trigger uterine contractions. - **Smoking or Alcohol:** Both drastically reduce implantation and early pregnancy success. - **Unprescribed Medications:** Always consult your fertility expert before using any new medication. - **Sexual Intercourse:** Avoid until your doctor confirms that the embryo has safely implanted. - **Long Travel or Bumpy Rides:** Excessive motion may disrupt uterine receptivity. - **Caffeine in Excess:** Limit to one small cup a day; too much can hinder embryo development. Dr. Saraogi explains, “Avoiding certain triggers is as important as supporting implantation. This is a delicate window, and minimizing stressors can significantly influence outcomes.” ## Conclusion Experiencing the first few days post-embryo transfer can be emotionally intense. From interpreting minor twinges to balancing expectations, every sensation matters. 3 days after frozen embryo transfer, your role is to nurture your body with patience, care, and trust in the process. At Saraogi IVF Centre, our team, led by Dr. Mohit Saraogi, ensures you’re never alone on this journey. With personalized treatment protocols, round-the-clock support, and advanced technology, we help couples maximize success rates with empathy and expertise. **Navigating the post-transfer days doesn’t have to be overwhelming.** **Get in touch** **with a fertility professional to stay informed and supported every step of the way.** [Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## Frequently Asked Questions ##### Is it normal to feel nothing 3 days after frozen embryo transfer? Yes, absolutely normal. Some individuals have zero symptoms and still end up with successful pregnancies. ##### Can I do a pregnancy test 3 days post-frozen embryo transfer? No, too early. Testing at this time won’t give you accurate results; wait for at least 9–12 days post-transfer. ##### What are positive signs after embryo transfer? Light spotting, breast tenderness, fatigue, and mild cramping can be implantation’s earliest signs. ##### Is post-embryo transfer cramping one of the negative signs after embryo transfer? No. Light cramps are normal and could mean uterine adaptation or early implantation. ##### How soon after embryo transfer can implantation happen? Implantation typically begins 2–5 days after transfer, depending on the stage of development of the embryo. **Reference links:** **Disclaimer**: The information shared in this content is for educational purposes only and not for promotional use. **Categories:** Blog --- ### [Frozen Embryo Transfer after Egg Retrieval](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/frozen-embryo-transfer-after-egg-retrieval/) **Published:** September 2, 2025 **Author:** Dr. Mohit Saraogi **Content:** # Frozen Embryo Transfer after Egg Retrieval by [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/author/drmohitsaraogi/ "Posts by Dr. Mohit Saraogi") | Sep 2, 2025 ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDgwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjY3NSIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDEwODAgNjc1Ij48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojY2ZkNGRiO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg==) Frozen embryo transfer after egg retrieval is an important step in the IVF journey, and one that often raises many [questions](https://saraogihospital.com/frozen-embryo-transfers-6-things-to-know/) for couples. Should the transfer be immediate? Is waiting for a few weeks normal? And does this waiting period affect the chances of success? At [Saraogi Hospital ](https://saraogihospital.com/about/)and IRIS IVF Centre, specialists take a structured and scientific approach to ensure that every transfer is timed for the best results. This leading [IVF centre in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/) is known for combining advanced reproductive techniques with compassionate care, giving patients the reassurance that each stage is managed with precision. As [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/), a highly experienced IVF doctor in Mumbai, explains, “The success of IVF does not depend on rushing through each step. Timing and the health of the uterus and embryo matter more than speed.” With expert guidance, modern technology, and individualized treatment plans, Saraogi Hospital ensures that the journey from egg retrieval to embryo transfer is handled with the utmost care, maximizing the chances of a successful pregnancy. ***Let’s clear up the confusion about waiting times.*** ## Is it normal to wait for a few weeks after egg retrieval before a frozen embryo transfer? ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MTIiIGhlaWdodD0iNjEyIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjEyIDYxMiI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "dwed - Saraogi Hospital") Yes, it is completely normal. After egg retrieval, the body goes through hormonal stimulation, which can sometimes affect the uterine lining. Transferring an embryo immediately in such a scenario may not provide the most favorable environment. That is why many fertility specialists recommend waiting until the uterine lining returns to its natural state. A short waiting period allows the body to heal and prepare for the transfer, improving implantation chances. **Ensure your body is ready before transfer.** [**Speak with an IVF doctor**](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) **to know the right time for your treatment.** [Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ***Here’s why many specialists choose frozen transfer over fresh.*** ## Frozen embryo transfer ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MTIiIGhlaWdodD0iNDA4IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjEyIDQwOCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "dewdew - Saraogi Hospital") A [frozen embryo transfer](https://saraogihospital.com/frozen-embryo-transfer-treatment-in-mumbai/) is often suggested for medical and clinical reasons. Doctors may prefer it over a fresh transfer when: - The uterine lining is not adequately prepared during the [egg retrieval](https://saraogihospital.com/abdominal-pain-after-egg-retrieval/) - Hormonal levels are too high, which could lower implantation chances. - The patient is at risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). - Genetic testing of embryos (PGT) is being done, which requires extra time. Dr. Mohit Saraogi explains, “Every patient’s journey is different. Frozen embryo transfer gives flexibility and helps us choose the most favorable moment for implantation.” By [freezing](https://saraogihospital.com/egg-freezing-in-mumbai/) embryos, specialists ensure that the transfer happens when the body is most receptive. ***Wondering what causes irregular periods?

However, persistent changes should not be ignored. Possible causes of irregular period include: - Hormonal fluctuations post-stimulation - Stress or anxiety after treatment - Underlying conditions like PCOS or thyroid disorders Most changes settle within one or two cycles, but if irregularities continue, it’s important to consult your fertility expert. **Notice irregular periods after retrieval?

Saraogi Hospital, with its dedicated team and advanced facilities, focuses on ensuring every patient receives treatment at the right time. As Dr. Mohit Saraogi emphasizes, “Patience and planning can make a significant difference in the success of fertility treatments.” ## Frequently Asked Questions ##### How long after egg retrieval can a frozen embryo transfer be done? It is usually performed after one or more menstrual cycles, depending on how quickly the body recovers. ##### Can I do a pregnancy test 3 days post-frozen embryo transfer? No, too early. Testing at this time won’t give you accurate results; wait for at least 9–12 days post-transfer. ##### What happens if a frozen embryo transfer fails? If the first attempt is unsuccessful, doctors analyze possible reasons such as embryo quality, uterine lining, or hormonal factors, and then plan the next cycle with necessary adjustments. ##### Is post-embryo transfer cramping one of the negative signs after embryo transfer? No. Light cramps are normal and could mean uterine adaptation or early implantation. ##### How many embryos are usually transferred in a frozen cycle? The number varies depending on age, embryo quality, and medical history. In many cases, doctors recommend transferring a single high-quality embryo to reduce the risk of multiple pregnancies. **Reference links:** [https://www.uwmedicine.org/sites/stevie/files/2018-11/Frozen-Embryo-Transfer-Cycle.pdf](https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7396245/) [https://www.parents.com/positive-signs-after-embryo-transfer-8645122](https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7380557/) **Disclaimer**: The information shared in this content is for educational purposes only and not for promotional use. **Categories:** Blog --- ### [7 Natural Menopause Treatments](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/7-natural-menopause-treatments/) **Published:** September 5, 2025 **Author:** Dr. Mohit Saraogi **Content:** # 7 Natural Menopause Treatments by [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/author/drmohitsaraogi/ "Posts by Dr. Mohit Saraogi") | Sep 5, 2025 ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDgwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjY3NSIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDEwODAgNjc1Ij48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojY2ZkNGRiO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg==) Menopause is a natural biological event that marks the cessation of a woman’s reproductive life. It typically happens between the ages of 45 and 55, when the ovaries slowly cease to secrete hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. The transition can come with changes such as hot flashes, mood changes, irregular menstruation, or insomnia. Though these are normal experiences, each woman’s passage through menopause is different. [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/), an expert IVF doctor in Mumbai, describes, “Menopause is a turning point, not a setback. It can present physical and emotional challenges, but it is also a time to prioritize overall health for the long term. With proper care and medical advice, women can embrace this stage with health and confidence.” At [Saraogi IVF Centre](https://saraogihospital.com/), professional care is provided to facilitate this change with comfort and safety. In this article, we discuss 7 natural [menopause](https://saraogihospital.com/menopause-before-40/) treatments that can make this process easier and more empowering. ***Here’s what you need to know about common menopause symptoms*** ## Is it normal to have hot flashes, night sweats, or mood changes during menopause? Yes, these are extremely common. Most women will go through some kind of hormonal change with menopause, and that impacts the body and the mind directly. Hot flashes and night sweats happen because of estrogen shifts that influence temperature control. Mood swings also happen quite often, as hormones on the decline impact neurotransmitters associated with emotional states. Although the severity is different, most women find these symptoms unpleasant. The good news is that there is relief using natural methods without the need for medication. ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MTIiIGhlaWdodD0iNDA4IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjEyIDQwOCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Picture2 - Saraogi Hospital") Don’t let menopause hold you back—seek guidance to manage symptoms effectively and stay active [Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ***Let’s uncover the reasons behind these change*** ## What causes these common menopause symptoms like weight gain, sleep problems, and fatigue? ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MTIiIGhlaWdodD0iNTI5IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjEyIDUyOSI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Picture3 - Saraogi Hospital") Menopause occurs when the ovaries stop producing eggs, leading to a drop in estrogen and progesterone. These hormones play a vital role in regulating metabolism, sleep, and mood. As levels fall, several changes appear: - **Weight gain:**Reduced metabolism and changes in fat distribution increase the likelihood of gaining weight. - **Sleep problems:**Hot flashes, anxiety, or hormonal shifts can interfere with restful sleep. - **Fatigue:**The body struggles to adjust to lower hormone levels, leading to low energy. - **Mood swings:**Neurochemical imbalances can trigger irritability, sadness, or anxiety. - **Irregular periods:**Before menopause, cycles may become unpredictable. Understanding the cause helps in selecting safe natural treatments to manage symptoms effectively. ***Looking for safe, home-based ways to ease menopause?*** ## What can I do at home with natural treatments to manage menopause symptoms safely? ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MTIiIGhlaWdodD0iNDA4IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjEyIDQwOCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Picture4 - Saraogi Hospital") Here are 7 natural menopause treatments that may help reduce discomfort and restore balance: ### 1. Balanced Nutrition A diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins supports overall health. Phytoestrogen-rich foods such as soy, flaxseeds, and chickpeas can mildly mimic estrogen, reducing hot flashes and mood swings. Adequate calcium and vitamin D intake also strengthen bones, which are at higher risk of osteoporosis after menopause. ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MTIiIGhlaWdodD0iNDA3IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjEyIDQwNyI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Picture5 - Saraogi Hospital") ### 2. Regular Exercise Physical activity enhances mood, supports weight management, and improves sleep. Strength training helps maintain bone density, while aerobic exercises like brisk walking or swimming boost cardiovascular health. Even yoga or tai chi can provide relaxation and reduce stress. ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MTIiIGhlaWdodD0iNDA1IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjEyIDQwNSI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Picture6 - Saraogi Hospital") ### 3. Herbal Supplements Certain herbs, such as black cohosh, red clover, and evening primrose oil, have been traditionally used to relieve hot flashes and night sweats. Though results vary, some women find these supplements effective when used under medical guidance. ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MTIiIGhlaWdodD0iNDA4IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjEyIDQwOCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Picture7 - Saraogi Hospital") ### 4. Stress Management Practices Meditation, mindfulness, deep breathing exercises, and journaling can calm the mind and reduce irritability.

Adequate Sleep Hygiene Improving sleep patterns can lessen fatigue and mood issues. Maintain a consistent bedtime, limit caffeine or alcohol intake, and create a cool, dark sleeping environment. Relaxing activities like reading or warm baths can also help. ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MTIiIGhlaWdodD0iMzk3IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjEyIDM5NyI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Picture9 - Saraogi Hospital") ### 6. Hydration and Limiting Triggers Drinking enough water helps regulate body temperature and reduces bloating. It is also beneficial to limit spicy foods, caffeine, and alcohol, as these often trigger hot flashes and night sweats. ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MTIiIGhlaWdodD0iMzQ0IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjEyIDM0NCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Picture10 - Saraogi Hospital") ### 7.

However, there are instances when a hysterectomy is medically required due to conditions like endometriosis, uterine fibroids, or other serious infections. Although this surgical removal of the uterus is life-saving, it eliminates forever the possibility of pregnancy. Over 1.2 million hysterectomies are carried out annually worldwide, and 3–4% of Indian women between the ages of 30 and 49 are thought to have had the surgery. After a hysterectomy, surrogacy gives these women new hope: the opportunity to conceive a biological child even though they are no longer able to carry one. One of Mumbai’s top IVF centers, [Saraogi Hospital](https://saraogihospital.com/) & IRIS IVF Centre, offers couples individualized fertility treatment backed by cutting-edge technology and sympathetic counseling. Renowned fertility specialist Dr. Mohit Saraogi explains, “Hysterectomy is not the end of your aspiration to become a mother. Thanks to the latest reproductive medicine and surrogacy following hysterectomy, women can still enjoy the bliss of having a genetically connected child. The most important thing is hope, right counseling, and a support team who knows your emotional and medical process.” This blog explores the path to parenthood through surrogacy after hysterectomy — from medical possibilities to emotional resilience. ***Ready to understand how surrogacy can still make biological parenthood possible after a hysterectomy? Let’s uncover the science behind it.*** ## Biological Motherhood through Surrogacy – Is it Possible? Yes, it’s entirely possible — and increasingly successful — for women to have a biological baby after a hysterectomy through gestational surrogacy. In this method, a woman’s eggs and her partner’s sperm are used to create embryos via IVF (In Vitro Fertilization), which are then transferred into a surrogate’s uterus. ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MjQiIGhlaWdodD0iMjY1IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjI0IDI2NSI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Picture1 - Saraogi Hospital") Here’s how the process enables biological motherhood: **Egg Retrieval:** If the ovaries remain intact post-hysterectomy, eggs are retrieved through a minimally invasive procedure. **IVF Fertilization:** These eggs are fertilized with sperm in a lab, forming embryos. **Surrogate Transfer:** The healthiest embryo is transferred into a surrogate’s womb for pregnancy and delivery. Globally, surrogacy success rates average around 55–60% per embryo transfer, while top clinics like Saraogi’s IRIS IVF Centre in Mumbai often achieve even higher outcomes thanks to advanced techniques and personalized protocols. Dr. Mohit Saraogi, a distinguished Gynecologist and [IVF Doctor](https://saraogihospital.com/imsi-treatment-in-mumbai/) in Mumbai, adds: “Surrogacy bridges the gap between medical limitation and emotional fulfillment. When performed ethically and scientifically, it ensures the child is genetically yours, even when carrying the pregnancy isn’t possible.” Wondering if surrogacy could be your path to parenthood after a hysterectomy?

Let’s clear them up with some frequently asked ones below.*** ## Frequently Asked Questions ##### 1. Is it possible to conceive without using a surrogate after a hysterectomy? No, pregnancy cannot occur naturally because a hysterectomy removes the uterus. You can use your eggs for surrogacy to have a biological child, though, if your ovaries are still there. ##### 2. How much does surrogacy typically cost in India following a hysterectomy? Depending on medical needs, IVF cycles, and surrogate-related costs, prices range from ₹12 to ₹20 lakhs. Transparent, personalized packages are available from clinics like Mumbai’s IRIS IVF Centre. ##### 3. How does gestational surrogacy differ from traditional surrogacy? By using her own egg, the surrogate becomes the biological mother in traditional surrogacy. In gestational surrogacy, the intended parents’ gametes are used to create the embryos, guaranteeing a genetic bond. ##### 4.

The pregnancy symptoms after Day 5 embryo transfer often become the centre of attention—every cramp, twinge, or emotional shift is analyzed for clues of implantation success. Dr. Mohit Saraogi, an acclaimed Fertility Specialist and founder of [Saraogi Hospital](https://saraogihospital.com/) & IRIS IVF Centre in Mumbai, shares: “The emotional phase after embryo transfer is as critical as the medical procedure itself. Patients often overthink bodily sensations, but understanding what’s normal can ease anxiety. These early symptoms, or even the absence of them, don’t necessarily define success—patience and awareness do.” This blog aims to demystify what happens after the 5-day transfer—exploring real signs of implantation and when to test, with thoughtful insights from Dr. Saraogi. ***Feeling every twinge and wondering what’s happening inside your body? Let’s start with uncovering what mild cramps or spotting might really mean.*** ## Understanding Cramps and Spotting after Day 5 Embryo Transfer Light cramping or spotting after embryo transfer is often a positive sign. These symptoms usually occur due to implantation—when the embryo attaches itself to the uterine lining. ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MTIiIGhlaWdodD0iNDA4IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjEyIDQwOCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Picture1 - Saraogi Hospital") Here’s what you might experience and why it happens: **Mild Cramping:** Often compared to period-like cramps, this mild discomfort occurs due to hormonal changes or the uterus preparing for implantation. It’s typically harmless and short-lived. **Spotting or Light Bleeding:** Pink or brown spotting around 6–10 days after transfer can be implantation bleeding, which happens when tiny blood vessels in the uterine lining break as the embryo embeds itself. **Abdominal Fullness or Pressure:** Hormonal support medications can cause mild bloating or a feeling of heaviness in the abdomen. According to data from the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM), about 30–40% of women experience light spotting or cramping post-transfer—often coinciding with successful implantation. Dr. Mohit Saraogi, a prominent [IVF doctor](https://saraogihospital.com/imsi-treatment-in-mumbai/) in Mumbai, explains, “Spotting or cramps after transfer aren’t warnings—they’re your body’s way of adjusting to the embryo. However, if the pain is intense or bleeding is heavy, it’s essential to consult your doctor immediately.” Not sure if your cramps or spotting are normal?

Let’s explore the early signs that might indicate pregnancy is taking root.*** ## Recognizing Early Pregnancy Symptoms after Day 5 Embryo Transfer While every woman’s body reacts differently, several early signs of pregnancy after embryo transfer may appear as the embryo implants and hormonal changes intensify. Common symptoms include: **Fatigue:** Your body produces higher levels of progesterone, making you feel unusually tired or drowsy. **Sore or Tender Breasts:** ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MTIiIGhlaWdodD0iNDA4IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjEyIDQwOCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Picture2 - Saraogi Hospital") Hormonal shifts can make breasts feel swollen, tender, or sensitive to touch. **Mild Cramping:** As implantation occurs, some women experience mild uterine tightening similar to premenstrual cramps. **Bloating and Gas:** Increased progesterone relaxes digestive muscles, leading to bloating and gas. **Mood Swings:** ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MTIiIGhlaWdodD0iNDA4IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjEyIDQwOCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Picture3 - Saraogi Hospital") Emotional highs and lows are common due to hormonal changes and the anticipation of test results. **Changes in Vaginal Discharge:** A rise in progesterone may increase clear or white discharge, which is normal and healthy. **Increased Basal Body Temperature (BBT):** A sustained rise in BBT over consecutive days can indicate implantation. Globally, IVF success rates have climbed to 40–50% per cycle for women under 35, while top-performing centres like the IRIS IVF Centre at Saraogi Hospital in Mumbai report comparable or higher rates due to advanced techniques and personalized care. Dr. Mohit Saraogi, a leading [Infertility Specialist](https://saraogihospital.com/infertility-treatment-mumbai/) in Mumbai, shares, “Early pregnancy signs post-transfer vary—some women feel everything, others nothing at all. What matters most is your hormone support, patience, and trust in the process.” ## Decoding No Symptoms after Embryo Transfer It’s entirely possible to feel no symptoms after embryo transfer and still be pregnant. The lack of signs doesn’t necessarily indicate failure. Here’s why: **Hormonal Differences:** Each woman’s hormone levels and response to progesterone vary. Some may feel noticeable symptoms, while others experience none. **Delayed Implantation:** The embryo may implant slightly later, leading to delayed or milder symptoms. **Medication Influence:** Certain hormonal medications can mask or mimic pregnancy symptoms, making interpretation tricky. A study by the National Institute of Health (NIH) shows that 20–25% of successful IVF pregnancies begin without any noticeable early symptoms. Dr. Mohit Saraogi, an award-winning [IVF Specialist](https://saraogihospital.com/frozen-embryo-transfer-treatment-in-mumbai/) in Mumbai, explains, “The absence of symptoms doesn’t mean the cycle failed. The body’s response to implantation differs from person to person. It’s best not to read too much into physical sensations before a confirmed test.” Not sure if your cramps or spotting are normal?

Taking a pregnancy test too early may lead to false negatives. ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MTIiIGhlaWdodD0iNDA4IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjEyIDQwOCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Picture4 - Saraogi Hospital") Here’s the general guideline: - Wait for 10–14 days after a 5-day transfer before taking a blood (beta-hCG) test. - Home urine tests can also work but may be less sensitive in the early days. - The beta-hCG blood test measures the exact level of human chorionic gonadotropin—a hormone only produced once implantation occurs. This test offers the most accurate confirmation of pregnancy. Dr. Mohit Saraogi, a distinguished [IVF doctor](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/) in Mumbai, advises, “Testing too soon can lead to unnecessary stress. Waiting at least 12 days after a 5-day transfer gives reliable results. Patience during this phase is a vital part of the journey.” ***We’ve covered the signs, the silence, and the testing—so what does all this mean for you moving forward? Let’s wrap it up thoughtfully.*** ## Conclusion Understanding Pregnancy symptoms after Day 5 embryo transfer can help reduce anxiety during the “two-week wait.” Whether you feel multiple signs or none at all, both outcomes can still lead to success. The key is to stay patient, follow medical guidance, and avoid premature conclusions. Dr. Mohit Saraogi, a respected [IVF Specialist](https://saraogihospital.com/icsi-treatment-in-mumbai/) in Mumbai, emphasizes, “This journey is as emotional as it is medical. Staying calm, avoiding over-analysis, and trusting your care team make a world of difference. Your body knows what to do—trust it.” Experiencing confusion after your embryo transfer?

There are certain important steps to follow in IVF, with the most crucial being embryo transfer. In this procedure, an embryo or embryos are placed in the uterine cavity of a woman with the hope that one will implant in the uterine lining and result in pregnancy. But it does not end there after embryo transfer. Testing after the procedure is vital in helping identify if the embryo has successfully implanted. [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/), a leading [IVF doctor](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/) in Mumbai, states, “The days subsequent to the embryo transfer are crucial, and testing can offer valuable information regarding if the treatment has been effective.” Saraogi IVF Hospital’s highly qualified team of experts offers the most recent fertility treatments, focusing on patient-centered approach to assist every phase of the IVF journey.

However, it is not unusual. This can occur due to hormonal changes, the embryo implanting into the uterine lining, or the procedure itself. Light spotting is commonly a sign that implantation may be occurring, but don’t take any chances. Heavy or persistent bleeding needs to be addressed with a consultation with your IVF doctor as soon as possible. In such cases, an ultrasound may be prescribed to check for implantation of the embryo. Worried about spotting after your transfer? Speak to an expert and get your questions answered.

Typically, patients are advised to wait at least 10-14 [days after the embryo transfer](https://saraogihospital.com/3-days-after-frozen-embryo-transfer/) before taking a pregnancy test. Your IVF doctor may also recommend a blood test for hCG levels, as this provides more accurate results than a home urine test.

It involves the fertilization of an egg with sperm outside the body, followed by transferring the resulting embryo into the woman’s uterus. While IVF has provided hope for countless individuals, it is not always successful on the first attempt, leaving many couples feeling uncertain about their next steps. However, the journey doesn’t necessarily end after a failed IVF cycle. In fact, many women who experience IVF failure eventually conceive naturally. According to Dr. Mohit Saraogi, one of the best IVF experts and gynecologists in Mumbai, “Failed IVF cycle is not the end of your journey towards parenthood. In most cases, it can be a stepping stone for natural conception.” [Saraogi IVF Hospital](https://saraogihospital.com/) is a premier fertility center in Mumbai, known for its advanced IVF treatments and exceptional success rates. Led by the expertise of Dr. Mohit Saraogi, the hospital embraces a comprehensive, patient-focused approach to fertility care.

Surprisingly, it has been discovered in certain studies that failure of IVF may actually improve a couple’s chances of natural conception at times. This phenomenon has been described as the “fertility boost” effect. While the exact causes of pregnancy after failed IVF are not yet completely understood, it is theorized that hormonal stimulation from IVF therapy can condition the body for conception. In addition, IVF cycles are likely to identify the root causes of [infertility](https://saraogihospital.com/infertility-treatment-mumbai/), which, once corrected, can improve natural fertility. But what we want to remind you is that everyone’s experience is different.

Let’s explore how they influence fertility afterward.* ## Does the Medication or Hormonal Stimulation During IVF Increase the Likelihood of Natural Pregnancy Afterward? The medication and hormonal stimulation given during IVF are used to promote egg production, enhance embryo quality, and chances of conception. While these treatments are IVF specific, they can also influence natural fertility. ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI0NjYiIGhlaWdodD0iMzI5IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNDY2IDMyOSI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Picture5 - Saraogi Hospital") Research has shown that hormonal treatment given in IVF, may control ovulation, improve egg quality, and perfect the hormonal environment, improving prospects for natural conception in the aftermath. Of course, it should be remembered that it does not guarantee success after IVF failure, as various factors influence natural conception. It is why visiting an experienced [gynecologist](https://saraogihospital.com/best-gynecologist-in-mumbai/) is crucial to improving your reproductive chances. ***Can life changes help fertility following IVF? Let’s discover how small habits help natural conception.*** ## Could Lifestyle Changes Made During IVF Treatment Play a Role in Conceiving Naturally After Failure? Lifestyle changes are highly significant with regard to fertility. During the IVF process, patients often follow healthier habits, i.e a healthy diet, stress reduction, limiting alcohol or tobacco consumption. These changes not only enhance the chances of success with IVF but also natural fertility. ![](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODdhAQABAPAAAMPDwwAAACwAAAAAAQABAAACAkQBADs= "Picture7") Adopting these lifestyle changes after a failed IVF can go a great way in improving the overall reproductive environment.

Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) has emerged as a powerful solution, and In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) stands at the forefront. One of the critical phases of IVF is egg retrieval, a step that directly impacts embryo development and ultimately, pregnancy outcomes. Many patients often ask what happens after egg retrieval in IVF, as it can bring not just physical symptoms, but also emotional uncertainties about success rates and the road ahead. Dr. Mohit Saraogi, a distinguished [IVF doctor](https://saraogihospital.com/) in Mumbai, emphasizes: “IVF after egg retrieval is a delicate yet promising stage. It’s when medical precision meets the body’s natural readiness. Patients often feel anxious during this time, but understanding what is normal, what requires medical attention, and what steps can improve outcomes, helps them feel more in control.” This blog explores the journey after egg retrieval, offering clarity on symptoms, embryo variations, and ways to maximize implantation chances. With the guidance of Dr. Saraogi and the team at Saraogi Hospital & IRIS IVF Centre, a premier IVF centre, you’ll gain practical knowledge and reassurance as you progress in your fertility journey. Here’s the thing: most people don’t realize that what happens after retrieval can be just as important as the procedure itself… ## Emotional and Physical Changes after IVF Egg Retrieval – Is it Normal? [Spotting](https://saraogihospital.com/spotting-8-days-after-ivf-transfer-what-you-need-to-know/) or light bleeding after embryo transfer can be a concerning experience for many patients. However, it is not unusual. This can occur due to hormonal changes, the embryo implanting into the uterine lining, or the procedure itself. Light spotting is commonly a sign that implantation may be occurring, but don’t take any chances. Heavy or persistent bleeding needs to be addressed with a consultation with your IVF doctor as soon as possible. In such cases, an ultrasound may be prescribed to check for implantation of the embryo. ![Emotional Changes after IVF Egg Retrieval](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MTIiIGhlaWdodD0iNDA4IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjEyIDQwOCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Picture2 - Saraogi Hospital") Key reasons behind these changes include: **Hormonal impact:** The medications used for ovarian stimulation cause fluctuations in estrogen and progesterone, directly influencing mood and energy. **Anesthesia recovery:** Sedation during egg retrieval may leave some women feeling groggy or fatigued for a day or two. **Psychological stress:** Waiting for embryo development updates can create anxiety and mood swings. Dr. Mohit Saraogi, a renowned [fertility specialist](https://saraogihospital.com/infertility-treatment-mumbai/) in Mumbai, explains: “The days after egg retrieval can feel overwhelming. It’s important for patients to rest, hydrate, and allow themselves emotional space. Counseling and open communication with the medical team often ease these stresses and help patients regain confidence in the process.” Feeling unusually low or worried after IVF egg retrieval?

[Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) Wondering what determines how many embryos you may have for transfer? Let’s break it down… ## Why the Number of Embryos Differs After Egg Retrieval The number of embryos available after egg retrieval depends on several biological and medical factors. Not every retrieved egg matures, fertilizes, or develops into a viable embryo. ![Why the Number of Embryos Differs After Egg Retrieval](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MTIiIGhlaWdodD0iNDA4IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjEyIDQwOCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Picture3 - Saraogi Hospital") Here are the major influences: **Egg quality:** Age plays a critical role. Women under 35 usually produce healthier eggs, while egg quality may decline after this age. **Sperm health:** Fertilization depends on the motility and morphology of sperm used in IVF or ICSI. **Laboratory conditions:** Success also relies on advanced lab facilities where fertilization occurs, including temperature, air quality, and culture media. **Fertilization technique:** ICSI, which injects sperm directly into the egg, often increases fertilization rates compared to traditional IVF. Dr. Mohit Saraogi, a leading [IVF expert](https://saraogihospital.com/frozen-embryo-transfer-treatment-in-mumbai/) in Mumbai, notes: “Patients should understand that it’s not the number of eggs retrieved but the quality of embryos that truly matters. Even a single good-quality embryo can result in a healthy IVF pregnancy.” Now, what if you notice severe discomfort or unusual signs? Here’s what you need to know… ## Recognizing Warning Signs After Egg Retrieval While mild bloating or cramps are common, there are situations that require urgent medical consultation. You should contact your IVF doctor immediately if you experience: - Severe abdominal pain not relieved by rest or medication - Heavy bleeding (more than a normal period) - Difficulty breathing or sudden weight gain, which may indicate [Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome](https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/ovarian-hyperstimulation-syndrome-ohss/symptoms-causes/syc-20354697) (OHSS) - High fever or signs of infection such as foul-smelling discharge Dr. Mohit Saraogi, a trusted [infertility specialist](https://saraogihospital.com/icsi-treatment-in-mumbai/) in Mumbai, advises: “Prompt reporting of unusual symptoms after egg retrieval is crucial. Conditions like OHSS are rare but can be serious if left untreated. Early intervention ensures safety and better continuation of the IVF cycle.” Experiencing severe pain or concerning symptoms after IVF egg retrieval?

Patients can actively contribute to their IVF outcomes by following these steps: **Prioritize rest and hydration –** Adequate sleep and fluid intake reduce bloating and support recovery. **Balanced nutrition –** Foods rich in protein, iron, and folate help prepare the body for embryo transfer. **Avoid strenuous activities –** Heavy exercise or lifting may put stress on the ovaries and uterus. **Stress management –** Meditation, light yoga, or counseling can lower cortisol levels, which may improve IVF pregnancy outcomes. **Follow medical prescriptions –** Hormonal support like progesterone must be taken exactly as prescribed for optimal uterine lining preparation. Dr. Mohit Saraogi, a respected [reproductive medicine expert](https://saraogihospital.com/best-gynecologist-in-mumbai/) in Mumbai, shares: “Implantation is a complex biological process, but patient participation matters. A healthy body, calm mind, and compliance with medications significantly enhance the probability of IVF success.” With the right approach, the path becomes clearer. Let’s wrap this up with key takeaways… ## Conclusion The journey of IVF after egg retrieval is filled with anticipation, questions, and hopeful waiting. While minor discomforts like bloating or fatigue are normal, being informed about warning signs and proactive steps makes the process smoother. Understanding embryo variations and focusing on implantation preparation empowers couples to approach the next phase with confidence. With the compassionate expertise of Dr. Mohit Saraogi and his dedicated team, patients receive not only cutting-edge treatment but also holistic support.

[Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) But before you go, here are answers to some common questions that many patients often ask… ## Frequently Asked Questions ##### How long after egg retrieval is embryo transfer usually done? Typically, embryo transfer happens between 3 to 5 days after egg retrieval, depending on embryo growth and the IVF centre’s protocol. ##### Can bloating last long after egg retrieval? Mild bloating may persist for a few days. However, if it worsens or is accompanied by pain, consult your IVF doctor to rule out OHSS. ##### How many embryos are usually transferred during IVF? Most IVF doctors recommend transferring one or two embryos to balance success rates with the risk of multiple pregnancies. ##### Does bed rest improve implantation chances? Research shows that light activity is better than strict bed rest, which may even hinder blood circulation to the uterus. ##### Can lifestyle factors like smoking or alcohol affect IVF pregnancy success? Yes, both smoking and alcohol significantly reduce fertility and lower IVF success rates. Avoiding them is strongly recommended before and after embryo transfer. **References:** **Disclaimer:** The information shared in this content is for educational purposes only and not for promotional use. **Categories:** Blog --- ### [16 days post embryo transfer](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/16-days-post-embryo-transfer/) **Published:** November 29, 2025 **Author:** Dr. Mohit Saraogi **Content:** # 16 days post embryo transfer by [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/author/drmohitsaraogi/ "Posts by Dr. Mohit Saraogi") | Nov 29, 2025 ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDgwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjY3NSIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDEwODAgNjc1Ij48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojY2ZkNGRiO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg==) The two-week wait after an embryo transfer can feel endless, by 16 days post embryo transfer, emotions often run high as patients look for signs that the IVF journey has succeeded. During this stage, your body may or may not show pregnancy symptoms, but both possibilities can be entirely normal. Testing for pregnancy becomes crucial, as most embryos—if implanted—would have triggered detectable levels of hCG. At the [Saraogi Hospital](https://saraogihospital.com/) in Mumbai, advanced technologies have helped thousands navigate this delicate phase with confidence and clarity. Its founder – Dr. Mohit Saraogi, an acclaimed Fertility Specialist, explains: “The 16th day post embryo transfer is a defining moment in an IVF cycle. However, it’s essential to interpret results and symptoms calmly. Each body reacts differently, and both subtle and absent signs can still lead to successful outcomes. We guide patients through this emotionally charged phase with medical accuracy and reassurance.” ***Curious to know if having no symptoms at all at this stage is something to worry about? Let’s break it down.*** ## Understanding the Absence of Pregnancy Symptoms 16 Days after Embryo Transfer Many women experience no symptoms after embryo transfer, even 16 days later, and still achieve a positive pregnancy test. IVF pregnancies can vary widely in how and when the body reacts to hormonal changes. ![Absence of pregnancy symptoms](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5NzUiIGhlaWdodD0iNjUwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTc1IDY1MCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Picture3 - Saraogi Hospital") Some women may expect typical pregnancy signs—like breast tenderness, fatigue, or nausea—but these are not guaranteed. The hormonal medications used during IVF cycles, such as progesterone, can also mimic or mask pregnancy symptoms. Here’s what the absence of symptoms might mean: **Normal hormonal variation:** Your body’s hormone levels may be rising slowly. **Late implantation:** Some embryos implant later than usual (between day 8 and 12), which can delay both symptoms and positive test results. **Individual body response:** Every woman’s body reacts differently to embryo implantation and medications. Dr. Mohit Saraogi, a distinguished [IVF Specialist](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/) in Mumbai, adds, “Absence of symptoms doesn’t equate to failure. Many successful pregnancies begin silently. That’s why we emphasize testing rather than symptom tracking—it removes unnecessary stress and offers scientific clarity.” Wondering whether your post-transfer symptoms—or lack of them—are normal? Consult a fertility specialist for guidance and reassurance tailored to your unique situation. [Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ***But what if you’re noticing light bleeding or spotting? Let’s explore what that could mean next.*** ## Spotting or Bleeding 16 Days After Embryo Transfer: What It Indicates ![Spotting or Bleeding 16 Days After Embryo Transfer](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5NzUiIGhlaWdodD0iNTE1IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTc1IDUxNSI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Picture4 - Saraogi Hospital") Spotting 16 days post embryo transfer often leaves patients anxious, but it doesn’t always signal a negative outcome. Here are possible explanations for spotting at this stage: **Implantation bleeding:** When the embryo embeds into the uterine lining, minor spotting may occur. **Hormonal fluctuations:**[ Progesterone](https://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements/progesterone-oral-route/description/drg-20075298) supplementation can sometimes cause spotting. **Medication side effects:** Certain fertility medications can thin the uterine lining slightly. **Early menstruation:** If implantation hasn’t occurred, the uterine lining may begin shedding. Dr. Mohit Saraogi, an award-winning [IVF doctor](https://saraogihospital.com/imsi-treatment-in-mumbai/) in Mumbai, explains, “Spotting after embryo transfer should never be self-diagnosed. We encourage patients to monitor the color and quantity of discharge, but medical evaluation is key to understanding whether it’s harmless or indicative of cycle failure.” ***Now, if your pregnancy test is still showing negative results, don’t lose hope—here’s what to do next.*** ## Interpreting a Negative Pregnancy Test 16 Days after Embryo Transfer A negative pregnancy test after embryo transfer at day 16 can be disappointing, but it’s not always the final answer. Sometimes, late implantation after IVF delays the rise in hCG levels, meaning a test done too early might miss detection. ![Negative Pregnancy Test](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5NzUiIGhlaWdodD0iNjYyIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTc1IDY2MiI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Picture5 - Saraogi Hospital") Possible reasons for a negative test: **Late implantation:** The embryo may have implanted later than usual, and hCG levels are still low. **Chemical pregnancy:** A very early loss may occur before hCG rises enough to be detected. **True negative:** Unfortunately, not all embryos successfully implant. Dr. Mohit Saraogi, a highly respected [Reproductive Medicine Expert](https://saraogihospital.com/infertility-treatment-mumbai/) in Mumbai, states, “We advise patients to repeat the test after 48–72 hours or undergo a blood hCG test for accuracy. Sometimes, a faint positive becomes stronger with time. Emotional balance and professional support are essential during this stage.” Received a negative test but unsure if it’s final? Schedule a follow-up with a fertility specialist to interpret your results and explore your next best steps. [Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ***Cramping or discomfort may also raise questions—let’s understand what’s happening inside your body.*** ## Managing Cramps and Discomfort 16 Days after Embryo Transfer Mild cramping 16 days after embryo transfer can be part of the body’s natural response to hormonal changes. However, distinguishing between normal post-transfer sensations and concerning pain is important. Common reasons for cramping include: **Uterine changes:** The uterus expands slightly as it adjusts to potential implantation. **Hormonal shifts:** Progesterone can cause bloating and mild cramps. **Implantation effects:** Some women feel twinges as embryos embed deeper into the uterine wall. If cramps are severe, accompanied by heavy bleeding, or persist for several days, medical evaluation is advised to rule out complications like ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). Dr. Mohit Saraogi, an eminent Infertility Specialist in Mumbai, explains, “Mild cramps are usually harmless, but it’s important to stay observant. We recommend rest, hydration, and medical consultation if discomfort escalates. Pain management should always align with your doctor’s guidance, especially during the sensitive post-transfer phase.” ***As your journey progresses, understanding what lies ahead can provide emotional stability.*** ## Conclusion The days following an embryo transfer—especially around the 16-day mark—are filled with anticipation and emotional highs and lows. Whether or not you notice symptoms, remember that IVF outcomes depend on complex biological and hormonal factors that may not always manifest physically. The team at Saraogi IVF Centre in Mumbai, led by Dr. Mohit Saraogi, provides individualized fertility care built on empathy, scientific precision, and years of proven expertise.

[Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## Frequently Asked Questions ##### 1. Can late implantation after IVF cause a delayed positive test? Yes. Late implantation can delay the production of hCG, leading to a late positive result even after 16 days. Blood tests are more reliable for confirmation. ##### 2. What are the early IVF success signs I should look for? Mild fatigue, breast tenderness, and bloating are common, but some women show no symptoms at all. Success cannot be judged based solely on physical signs. ##### 3. Can I continue progesterone if my pregnancy test is negative? Always consult your doctor. Some specialists may recommend continuing medication until a second confirmatory test. ##### 4. What is the success rate of IVF? Globally, IVF treatments have a success rate ranging from 40% to 50% in women under 35, while in India, recent data shows an average success rate of 33% to 40%, depending on age and clinic expertise. ##### 5. Should I rest completely 16 days post embryo transfer? Light daily activities are fine unless advised otherwise. Avoid intense exercise or heavy lifting until pregnancy is confirmed. **References:** **Disclaimer:** The information shared in this content is for educational purposes only and not for promotional use. **Categories:** Blog --- ### [First Ultrasound after IVF Pregnancy](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/first-ultrasound-after-ivf-pregnancy/) **Published:** November 29, 2025 **Author:** Dr. Mohit Saraogi **Content:** # First Ultrasound after IVF Pregnancy by [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/author/drmohitsaraogi/ "Posts by Dr. Mohit Saraogi") | Nov 29, 2025 ![Ultrasound](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDgwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjY3NSIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDEwODAgNjc1Ij48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojY2ZkNGRiO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg==) Trying IVF is an emotional rollercoaster of ups and downs: anticipation, anxiety, and, above all, hope. After countless injections, scans, and the awaited embryo transfer, the most anticipated milestone arrives: the first ultrasound after IVF pregnancy. This scan, usually scheduled around the 6th to 7th week, offers the first glimpse into whether the embryo has implanted successfully and if the pregnancy is developing as expected. [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/), an acclaimed Fertility Specialist in Mumbai, says: “The first ultrasound after IVF pregnancy is not just a diagnostic scan; it’s a deeply emotional moment that validates the couple’s long journey toward parenthood. Seeing the [gestational sac](https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/medicine-and-dentistry/gestational-sac) or the flicker of a heartbeat reassures both doctors and parents that the treatment has borne fruit. It’s also when we begin to truly personalize care for the pregnancy ahead.” ***Let’s explore what really goes on in your mind before that moment arrives.*** ## Understanding the Emotions before the First IVF Ultrasound After undergoing IVF, couples experience heightened emotions before the first scan. The anticipation of confirming a heartbeat can lead to sleepless nights. Remember, this mix of excitement and anxiety is part of the IVF journey itself. ![Emotions before IVF ultrasound](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5NTYiIGhlaWdodD0iNjM4IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTU2IDYzOCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "s1 - Saraogi Hospital") Here’s why this anxiety often surfaces: **Emotional investment:** IVF involves months of dedication and financial and emotional commitment. The first scan feels like the final verdict. **Hormonal changes:** Elevated progesterone and estrogen levels can amplify emotional responses. **Previous experiences:** Those who have faced past miscarriages or failed cycles may experience intensified worry. **Uncertainty:** Until the heartbeat is seen, parents-to-be often struggle to believe the success is real. Dr. Mohit Saraogi, a leading [IVF Doctor](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/) in Mumbai, explains: “Patients often ask if it’s normal to be this nervous before the first scan. I remind them that anxiety is a reflection of how much this means to them. The key is to stay informed—knowing what to expect reduces stress and helps you emotionally prepare for every outcome.” Feeling overwhelmed before your first IVF scan?

Let’s discuss this crucial scenario next.*** ## Dealing with the Absence of a Heartbeat in the First IVF Ultrasound Not seeing a heartbeat at the first scan doesn’t always mean bad news. The timing of the ultrasound plays a critical role. Typically, a heartbeat appears around 6–7 weeks of gestation, but it can be delayed if implantation occurred later than expected. ![Absence of a Heartbeat in the First IVF Ultrasound](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5NTYiIGhlaWdodD0iNTA1IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTU2IDUwNSI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "s2 - Saraogi Hospital") Here’s what might happen: - If only a gestational sac is seen, this could mean the pregnancy is still in its very early stage. - If a yolk sac is visible but there’s no heartbeat yet, your doctor may suggest another scan in 5–7 days to check for cardiac activity. - If the sac is empty at 7+ weeks, further evaluation might be needed to rule out a blighted ovum or missed miscarriage. Dr. Mohit Saraogi, a distinguished [IVF Specialist](https://saraogihospital.com/icsi-treatment-in-mumbai/) in Mumbai, shares: “In IVF pregnancies, even a day’s difference in embryo implantation can shift what we see on ultrasound. Patience is crucial. We never jump to conclusions after a single scan. A follow-up is often all it takes to confirm a healthy fetal heartbeat.” ***So, when exactly should you plan your first ultrasound after embryo transfer? Let’s decode the timeline next.*** ## Ideal Timing for the First Ultrasound after IVF Embryo Transfer The ideal time for the first ultrasound after IVF embryo transfer is typically 6 to 7 weeks after transfer, or about 2–3 weeks after a positive pregnancy test. ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5NTYiIGhlaWdodD0iOTU2IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgOTU2IDk1NiI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "s3 - Saraogi Hospital") Here’s what doctors usually look for at each stage: **5 weeks:** A small gestational sac may be visible. **5.5–6 weeks:** A yolk sac starts forming inside the gestational sac. **6–7 weeks:** A fetal pole and cardiac activity (heartbeat) become detectable. Performing the ultrasound too early can lead to unnecessary anxiety because the fetus or heartbeat might not be visible yet. Dr. Mohit Saraogi, a celebrated [IVF Doctor](https://saraogihospital.com/frozen-embryo-transfer-treatment-in-mumbai/) in Mumbai, explains: “Timing is everything in IVF. We generally schedule the first scan at the right developmental window to avoid false alarms. Proper timing ensures accurate results and gives parents the joy of seeing that first heartbeat without unnecessary distress.” Unsure when to schedule your IVF ultrasound?

[Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ***Now that we’ve covered timing, let’s explore what a normal first ultrasound report looks like after IVF.*** ## Interpreting a Normal First Ultrasound Report After IVF Not seeing a heartbeat at the first scan doesn’t always mean bad news. The timing of the ultrasound plays a critical role. Typically, a heartbeat appears around 6–7 weeks of gestation, but it can be delayed if implantation occurred later than expected. A normal first ultrasound after IVF pregnancy is a reassuring sign of successful implantation and healthy progression. Here’s what your doctor typically checks: **Gestational sac:** A small fluid-filled sac in the uterus confirms intrauterine pregnancy. **Yolk sac:** Appears within the gestational sac; provides nutrients to the embryo. **Fetal pole:** The early embryo structure, seen around 6 weeks. **Heartbeat:** The most awaited moment—visible as a flicker with rates between 100–120 bpm at this stage. **No abnormalities:** The presence of one or more sacs depending on embryo transfer confirms a singleton or multiple pregnancy. Globally, studies indicate that about 95% of IVF pregnancies showing a heartbeat at 7 weeks continue successfully to term. In India, with advancements in fertility technology, the IVF success rate has risen to around 50–55% at reputed centres such as [Saraogi IVF Centre](https://saraogihospital.com/about/) in Mumbai. Dr. Mohit Saraogi, a reputed [Fertility Specialist](https://saraogihospital.com/infertility-treatment-mumbai/) in Mumbai, remarks: “A normal ultrasound reassures us that the embryo is thriving and the uterine environment is supporting growth. For many parents, that tiny flicker of life is the most beautiful reward for their patience and perseverance.” ***As you take in the joy of your first ultrasound, let’s wrap up with how expert care and emotional guidance can make all the difference ahead.*** ## Conclusion The first ultrasound after IVF pregnancy is more than a medical test—it’s an emotional affirmation that the journey through fertility treatment has been worth every step. It provides clarity, reassurance, and marks the true beginning of your pregnancy journey. At Saraogi IVF Centre in Mumbai, patients receive holistic fertility care that blends advanced technology with compassion under the expert guidance of Dr. Mohit Saraogi.

Let’s address the most common ones next!*** ## Frequently Asked Questions ##### Can the first IVF ultrasound detect multiple pregnancies? Yes. The ultrasound can reveal whether one or more embryos have implanted. Multiple sacs or heartbeats indicate twins or higher-order multiples. ##### Why is my doctor scheduling a second ultrasound after the first one? A follow-up ultrasound helps confirm heartbeat development, growth rate, and placental formation—especially if the first scan was inconclusive. ##### Is the first ultrasound after IVF different from a natural pregnancy ultrasound? Not in technique, but IVF pregnancies are monitored more closely, and scan timing is calculated precisely from the embryo transfer date rather than the last menstrual period. ##### What should I do to prepare for my first IVF ultrasound? Drink water if it’s a transabdominal scan, but for transvaginal scans, keep the bladder empty. Most importantly, stay calm and follow your doctor’s advice. ##### What happens if the heartbeat stops after being detected once? Your doctor will assess causes through blood tests and follow-up scans. Many factors can contribute, and emotional support during this stage is essential. **References:** **Disclaimer:** The information shared in this content is for educational purposes only and not for promotional use. **Categories:** Blog --- ### [Bleeding After Positive IVF Pregnancy Test](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/bleeding-after-positive-ivf-pregnancy-test/) **Published:** January 12, 2026 **Author:** Dr. Mohit Saraogi **Content:** # Bleeding After Positive IVF Pregnancy Test by [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/author/drmohitsaraogi/ "Posts by Dr. Mohit Saraogi") | Jan 12, 2026 ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDgwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjY3NSIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDEwODAgNjc1Ij48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojY2ZkNGRiO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg==) Bleeding after receiving a positive IVF pregnancy test is surprisingly common and affects approximately 30-40% of pregnancies in the first trimester. While any bleeding can feel alarming after the emotional and physical investment of in vitro fertilisation, it does not automatically indicate a problem, but it is important to inform your [IVF Centre](https://saraogihospital.com/) so you can be guided on the next steps and monitoring. ## Reasons - Why Does The Bleeding Occur? ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MjQiIGhlaWdodD0iNDM5IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjI0IDQzOSI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Picture2 - Saraogi Hospital") Understanding the causes can help you distinguish between normal spotting and situations requiring medical attention. If you are unsure about what you are seeing, your [Ivf doctor](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/) can help you interpret the symptoms and decide whether you need a scan or medication adjustment. E ### Implantation bleeding Your content goes here. Edit or remove this text inline or in the module Content settings. You can also style every aspect of this content in the module Design settings and even apply custom CSS to this text in the module Advanced settings. E ### Subchorionic hemorrhage Also called subchorionic hematoma or subchorionic bleed, it affects between 1.3% and 62% of pregnancies. Blood collects between the uterine wall and the gestational sac when the placenta partially separates. The bleeding can range from light spotting to heavier flow and may appear pink, red, or brown. The [**progesterone**](https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/body/24562-progesterone) **supplementation** you receive during IVF can cause cervical sensitivity. This makes the cervix more prone to light bleeding after physical examination, sexual intercourse, or vaginal ultrasounds. These hormonal changes also increase blood flow to the reproductive area. E ### Cervical and endometrial polyps It may bleed more easily during pregnancy due to hormonal changes. While generally benign, they can bruise and cause spotting during early pregnancy. E ### Regarding how much bleeding is normal after IVF: Light spotting or discharge that’s pinkish or brownish is typical. You might occasionally see small amounts of bright red blood that stops on its own. However, heavy bleeding that soaks through a pad within an hour requires immediate medical attention. The key factors affecting bleeding in early pregnancy include your age, the timing of detection, and the size of any hemorrhage present. Seeing heavy bleeding, clots or strong cramps after IVF? Schedule an urgent review with a fertility specialist to assess your symptoms and plan the right scans or blood tests. [Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## When Should You Be Concerned? While light spotting after a positive IVF pregnancy test is often normal, certain symptoms require immediate medical attention. Understanding the warning signs helps you respond appropriately when complications arise. E **Heavy bleeding with clots** is always a reason to contact your clinic. If you’re soaking through a pad within an hour or passing large clots, this could indicate a miscarriage or a severe subchorionic haematoma. Don’t wait to see if it improves on its own. E **Severe cramping accompanied by bleeding** warrants urgent evaluation. Intense, sharp pain on one side combined with bleeding may signal an ectopic pregnancy, where the embryo implants outside the uterus. This condition is dangerous and requires immediate medical care. E **Severe cramping accompanied by bleeding** warrants urgent evaluation. Intense, sharp pain on one side combined with bleeding may signal an ectopic pregnancy, where the embryo implants outside the uterus. This condition is dangerous and requires immediate medical care. ## Be alert for these warning signs ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxOTQ0IiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEyOTYiIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCAxOTQ0IDEyOTYiPjxyZWN0IHdpZHRoPSIxMDAlIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEwMCUiIHN0eWxlPSJmaWxsOiNjZmQ0ZGI7ZmlsbC1vcGFjaXR5OiAwLjE7Ii8+PC9zdmc+ "Picture3 - Saraogi Hospital")  ### Bright red blood flowing like a period  ### Severe abdominal or pelvic pain  ### Fever above 38°C  ### Passing tissue or large clots  ### Dizziness, fainting, or shoulder pain If you’re passing solid tissue along with blood, this could indicate a miscarriage or, rarely, a molar pregnancy where abnormal tissue develops instead of a healthy embryo. Collect any tissue you pass if possible, as your doctor may want to examine it. Contact your IVF clinic immediately if you experience any of these symptoms. They may arrange an ultrasound scan or blood tests to assess your hormone levels. Early intervention can sometimes prevent complications, and prompt diagnosis ensures you receive appropriate treatment. Your medical team is there to support you through any concerns during this critical time. ## Conclusion Bleeding after a positive IVF pregnancy test can feel alarming, but it does not automatically signal a problem. Light spotting or pinkish-brown discharge often indicates normal implantation bleeding as the embryo attaches to the uterine lining. Many women experience some form of bleeding during early IVF pregnancy, with studies showing it occurs in approximately 30-40% of cases. Most episodes resolve naturally without leading to pregnancy loss. Each pregnancy develops differently, and the presence or absence of bleeding does not predict your outcome. Some women experience various symptoms whilst others have none at all. Trust your medical team’s guidance and report any changes that concern you. Your doctors understand the unique aspects of IVF pregnancies and can provide personalised advice based on your specific situation. ## Frequently Asked Questions ##### What are the most common reasons for bleeding after a positive IVF pregnancy test ? Most commonly it is implantation spotting, cervical sensitivity from progesterone support, or a subchorionic bleed. ##### How can I tell the difference between implantation bleeding and miscarriage bleeding after IVF ? Implantation bleeding is usually light pink or brown spotting, while heavier bright red bleeding with clots or worsening cramps needs urgent evaluation. ##### Can low progesterone cause bleeding after a positive IVF test and what should I do if it happens ?

Your fertility specialist and [Ivf doctor](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/) will monitor your progress closely during this time, as the risk of miscarriage remains higher before reaching the end of the first trimester. After you complete week 12, the miscarriage risk decreases substantially. Most fertility clinics and your [IVF centre](https://saraogihospital.com/) consider an IVF pregnancy to have reached a safer stage at this point. However, several factors influence your individual pregnancy safety: E #### Maternal age – younger women typically experience better outcomes E #### Number of embryos transferred – single embryo transfer reduces complications E #### Quality of embryos – high-quality embryos improve implantation success E #### Pre-existing health conditions – underlying medical issues require careful management E #### Type of procedure – whether standard IVF or ICSI was performed Your fertility clinic will confirm a heartbeat via ultrasound around 6-7 weeks, which marks an important early milestone. Following ovarian stimulation and successful embryo transfer, you’ll receive regular monitoring throughout the first trimester to ensure proper foetal development and address any concerns promptly. Each IVF pregnancy is unique. Your fertility specialist will provide personalised guidance based on your specific circumstances and medical history. ## IVF Pregnancy Timeline Week By Week ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxOTUwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEyOTYiIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCAxOTUwIDEyOTYiPjxyZWN0IHdpZHRoPSIxMDAlIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEwMCUiIHN0eWxlPSJmaWxsOiNjZmQ0ZGI7ZmlsbC1vcGFjaXR5OiAwLjE7Ii8+PC9zdmc+ "Picture1 - Saraogi Hospital") IVF pregnancy follows a unique timeline that differs from natural conception. The dating system begins two weeks before your embryo transfer, aligning with standard pregnancy calculations used for natural pregnancies. E ### Weeks 1-2: Pre-Transfer Period These weeks are calculated retrospectively. Week 2 typically corresponds with your egg retrieval date, though no actual pregnancy exists yet during this time. E ### Week 3: Embryo Transfer Your embryo transfer occurs during this week. The SET (single embryo transfer) or multiple embryo transfer takes place, with day 5 [blastocysts](https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/body/22889-blastocyst) showing the highest [success rates](https://saraogihospital.com/what-is-the-ivf-success-rate-in-mumbai/) due to superior embryo grading and development. E ### Week 4: Implantation The transferred embryo implants into your uterine lining. You may experience mild cramping or light spotting as implantation occurs. E ### Weeks 5-8: Early Development Your pregnancy test confirms success around 10-14 days post-transfer. A gestational sac becomes visible on ultrasound around week 5, followed by a foetal heartbeat at week 6-7. This period marks critical embryo growth as major organs begin forming. E ### Weeks 9-12: First Trimester Completion Embryo growth accelerates rapidly during this phase. The risk of miscarriage decreases significantly after week 10-12, marking an important milestone in your IVF pregnancy journey. E ### Weeks 13-24: Second Trimester Your IVF pregnancy now progresses identically to natural pregnancies. Regular antenatal appointments monitor foetal development, and you’ll typically feel foetal movement between weeks 16-20. Each week brings new developments, and your healthcare provider will monitor progress through regular scans and blood tests to ensure healthy embryo growth throughout your pregnancy. Unsure when an IVF pregnancy is considered safe and what to expect in weeks 6–12? Speak to a fertility expert to understand your risk milestones and the scans that confirm healthy progress. [Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## When Is IVF Pregnancy Considered Safe ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MjQiIGhlaWdodD0iNDE2IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjI0IDQxNiI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Picture2 - Saraogi Hospital") Most fertility specialists mark the 10-to-12-week point as the key milestone when IVF pregnancy safety improves significantly. At this stage, the risk of miscarriage drops noticeably and the pregnancy transitions from the embryonic to the fetal stage. The placenta typically takes over hormone production by week 10, which reduces strain on your ovaries and creates a more stable environment. By week 12, your baby’s major organs have formed their basic structure, and the 12-week scan can confirm a strong heartbeat and healthy development. Before reaching this milestone, several checkpoints help confirm your IVF pregnancy is progressing well: E ### Beta-hCG blood test around 14 days after transfer confirms implantation E ### Viability scan at 6 weeks shows the gestational sac and heartbeat E ### Dating scan at 8-9 weeks verifies growth is on schedule E ### NT scan at 12 weeks screens for chromosomal markers Your IVF pregnancy considered safe doesn’t mean zero risk exists beyond 12 weeks. Regular antenatal care remains essential throughout. However, the probability of complications decreases substantially after this first trimester milestone. Some pregnancies involving twins, advanced maternal age, or donor eggs may require additional monitoring. Yet the fundamental safety window remains consistent at 10-12 weeks, when most couples feel confident enough to share their news. Each scan and blood test that shows normal results moves you closer to this safer phase. Your medical team will track specific measurements like fetal heart rate and crown-rump length to ensure development stays on track. ## What Factors Affect IVF Pregnancy Safety Several clinical factors influence the safety of your IVF pregnancy from conception through delivery. Understanding these elements helps you and your healthcare provider manage risks effectively. E ### Maternal Age and Health Status Your age significantly impacts pregnancy outcomes. Women under 30 typically experience better IVF results, whilst those over 35 face increased risks of complications including gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, and preterm delivery. Pre-existing conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, or thyroid disorders require careful management throughout your pregnancy. E ### Embryo Transfer Decisions The number and quality of embryos transferred directly affect safety. Multiple embryo transfers increase the likelihood of twins or higher-order multiples, which elevates risks of preterm birth, low birth weight, and maternal complications. Single embryo transfer reduces these risks whilst maintaining reasonable success rates. E ### Early Pregnancy Complications You should remain alert to specific IVF-related risks during early pregnancy: **OHSS (Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome):** A response to fertility medications causing abdominal bloating and potentially serious fluid retention **Ectopic pregnancy**: When the embryo implants outside the uterus, typically in the fallopian tube **Implantation bleeding:** Normal light spotting that may occur, though any bleeding warrants medical assessment E ### Monitoring and Prenatal Care Regular prenatal care becomes essential for detecting early pregnancy symptoms and complications promptly. Your fertility specialist will monitor foetal development, screening for congenital abnormalities and ensuring proper growth. Close medical supervision allows early intervention when concerns arise, significantly improving outcomes for both you and your baby. ## What To Expect After The First Trimester ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MjQiIGhlaWdodD0iNDEyIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjI0IDQxMiI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Picture3 - Saraogi Hospital") Once you pass the 12-week mark, your IVF pregnancy transitions into the second trimester. This phase typically brings welcome relief from early pregnancy symptoms like nausea and fatigue. Your body undergoes visible changes as your bump becomes more pronounced. Energy levels often increase during weeks 13 to 27, making this period more comfortable for most women. Fetal movement becomes one of the most exciting milestones during this time. You’ll likely feel your baby’s first movements between 16 and 25 weeks, often described as gentle flutters or bubbles. First-time mothers may notice these sensations slightly later than those who’ve been pregnant before. Your antenatal care continues with regular appointments, though less frequently than in the first trimester. Expect routine scans to monitor your baby’s growth and development. Blood tests and screenings help ensure both you and your baby remain healthy. This is an ideal time to start thinking about your birth plan. Consider your preferences for labour and delivery, including pain management options, who you want present, and your birthing environment. Discuss these choices with your midwife or consultant. Physical changes include: E ### Growing abdomen and breasts E ### Increased appetite E ### Possible back pain or ligament discomfort E ### Skin changes and pigmentation Your IVF pregnancy now progresses like any other pregnancy. Focus on maintaining a balanced diet, staying active within your comfort level, and attending all scheduled appointments. The second trimester offers a window to prepare practically and emotionally for your baby’s arrival. Crossed 12 weeks after IVF or entering the second trimester? Speak to a fertility expert to review your scans and plan the next stage of antenatal care. [Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## Conclusion IVF pregnancy reaches a safer stage after 12 weeks when the first trimester concludes. At this point, miscarriage risk drops considerably and the pregnancy follows a similar pattern to natural conception. The early weeks require careful monitoring through regular blood tests and ultrasounds. Your fertility specialist will track embryo implantation, fetal heartbeat, and overall development during this critical period. ## Frequently Asked Questions ##### After how many weeks is an IVF pregnancy considered safe? Most fertility teams consider IVF pregnancy risk to drop noticeably around 10 to 12 weeks, with week 12 often treated as a key safer milestone because the first trimester is complete. ##### When can a heartbeat be seen after IVF? On an early viability scan, the embryo and heartbeat can often be seen around 6 weeks and fetal heart activity should typically be present by 7 weeks if dates are accurate. ##### What are the key tests and scans in the first trimester after IVF? Common checkpoints include an early confirmation test such as beta hCG and ultrasound milestones like a 6 week viability scan, an 8 to 9 week dating scan and a 12 week scan with screening. ##### What is an NT scan and why is it done in 12 weeks? The 12 week scan may include measuring nuchal translucency, which is used in screening for conditions such as Down’s syndrome. ##### Does transferring two embryos or having twins change the safety timeline? The main safer window still tends to be around 10 to 12 weeks, but twin pregnancies are usually monitored more closely and may need extra follow up. ##### What symptoms should not be ignored in early IVF pregnancy? Seek urgent medical advice if you have symptoms that could suggest OHSS, such as rapid weight gain, severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, reduced urination or shortness of breath. **Categories:** Blog --- ### [Is fibroid bleeding without pain normal or risky?](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/is-fibroid-bleeding-without-pain-normal-or-risky/) **Published:** February 10, 2026 **Author:** Dr. Mohit Saraogi **Content:** # Is fibroid bleeding without pain normal or risky? by [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/author/drmohitsaraogi/ "Posts by Dr. Mohit Saraogi") | Feb 10, 2026 ![Is painless fibroid bleeding dangerous?](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDgwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjY3NSIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDEwODAgNjc1Ij48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojY2ZkNGRiO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg==) Unexpected bleeding may be quite scary especially when it is painless. Quite a number of women who have uterine fibroids see spotting or heavy bleeding but they feel fine physically. This situation brings about confusion, whether it is something harmless or a sign that needs to be attended to. Knowing the reason for painless fibroids bleeding will lessen the stress and also make getting help on time easier. [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/) explains that bleeding without pain is a typical occurrence with fibroids, however, the bleeding pattern, amount, and timing are the factors which determine if a person is normal or needs medical assessment. [Saraogi Hospital](https://saraogihospital.com/) is a specialized fertility, gynecology, and reproductive medicine center under the leadership of Dr. Mohit Saraogi. Having gained rich experience in handling complicated gynecological disorders and fertility problems, the team primarily leans on research, proven treatment methods and gives utmost consideration to individual care. A thorough investigation and a customized treatment plan will be especially helpful for women with fibroids that cause fertility problems or for those who want to get pregnant after a failed IVF attempt. ## Why do fibroids cause bleeding without pain? ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDIiIGhlaWdodD0iNDAxIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAyIDQwMSI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Picture2 - Saraogi Hospital") Let’s first grasp what these are. Fibroids are benign tumors that develop in the muscular layer of the uterus. The major reason for bleeding is the change in the uterus, which is caused by fibroids, not nerve irritation, hence no pain. Typical causes are the uterine lining’s increased surface area, compression of blood vessels, and hormonal sensitivity. In particular, submucosal fibroids that protrude into the uterine cavity are notorious for causing very heavy or irregular bleeding without pain. A hormonal imbalance between estrogen and progesterone may additionally exacerbate the bleeding pattern. **If bleeding feels unusual or frequent, a simple scan can clarify the cause. Early clarity brings peace of mind.** [Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ### Painless bleeding is often considered low-risk when: E #### Bleeding occurs only during periods E #### The flow is a little heavier, but it remains regular E #### No bleeding in between periods E #### Hemoglobin levels are still normal E #### Size of the fibroid remains unchanged on ultrasound E #### No symptoms affecting fertility In such cases, active treatment may not be required, and periodic monitoring is usually sufficient. ## When does fibroid bleeding become risky? Fibroid-related bleeding may appear to be a minor issue if it is not accompanied by pain; however, certain patterns of bleeding actually indicate a significant risk. Changes in menstrual bleeding frequency, duration, or fertility often lead to a medical evaluation even if the patient has no pain. E ### Bleeding between menstrual cycles Spotting or bleeding outside the regular menstrual cycle means that fibroids are affecting the shedding of the uterine lining, which can increase blood loss and consequently the risk of anemia. E ### Prolonged or heavy menstrual bleeding If your periods last more than seven days or involve an excessive flow, not treating the problem can lead to iron deficiency and chronic fatigue. E ### Recurrent drop in hemoglobin levels Continuously low hemoglobin levels despite taking supplements indicate that there is an ongoing loss of blood through the fibroids and this situation needs to be checked further. E ### Fertility and pregnancy, related issues When fibroid bleeding is associated with trouble getting pregnant, failure of implantation, or poor pregnancy results, it becomes a high, risk issue. In general, fibroid bleeding is seen as a risk factor if it is constant, irregular, or starts to compromise one’s blood condition or reproductive capacity. Getting checked up early and managing the condition properly can help avoid problems and preserve the uterus’s health in the long run. ## How is fibroid bleeding evaluated and treated? ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDIiIGhlaWdodD0iNDAxIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAyIDQwMSI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Picture3 - Saraogi Hospital") Now let’s move on to the solutions. Assessment is done through pelvic ultrasound, blood tests to check for anemia, and sometimes MRI or hysteroscopy for precise mapping. The course of treatment is decided based on the patient’s age, the severity of symptoms, the size of the fibroids, and whether the patient wants to have children. There are various options available depending on medication, hormone therapy, and iron supplements, through minimally invasive procedures, to surgery. The fertility, preserving treatments are the first choice for women who want to become pregnant. Personalized care is aimed at providing relief from symptoms without undergoing unnecessary treatment. ## Conclusion Painless bleeding due to fibroids is a common symptom, but it is not something that one should ignore. Although bleeding in most cases can be controlled just by keeping an eye on the condition, bleeding accompanied by other symptoms or becoming worse to the point of disturbing daily activities and causing frustration means that one has to see a doctor. Early detection gives you the chance of proceeding with safer treatment options and ultimately to have a better chance of conception. Having a good understanding of the problem, fibroids can be treated efficiently without any harm to your health in the long run. **The right treatment is not always surgery. A tailored plan makes all the difference.** [Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## Frequently Asked Questions ##### Can fibroids bleed without causing pain? Yes. Fibroids commonly cause bleeding due to changes in the uterine lining, and this often occurs without any associated pain. ##### Is painless bleeding from fibroids dangerous? Not always. However, persistent or heavy bleeding should be evaluated to rule out anemia or other complications. ##### Which fibroids cause the most bleeding? Submucosal fibroids are most likely to cause heavy or irregular bleeding because they grow into the uterine cavity. ##### Can fibroid bleeding affect fertility? Yes. Fibroids that distort the uterine cavity can interfere with implantation and may affect pregnancy outcomes. ##### Can medicines control fibroid-related bleeding? In some cases, hormonal medications and supportive treatment can help reduce bleeding and manage symptoms. ##### When should I see a doctor for fibroid bleeding? You should consult a doctor if bleeding is heavy, prolonged, occurs between periods, or impacts your energy levels or fertility. **Categories:** Blog --- ### [Health Checkups for Surrogate Mother After Baby Delivery in the IVF Surrogacy Process](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/health-checkups-for-surrogate-mother-after-baby-delivery-in-the-ivf-surrogacy-process/) **Published:** February 16, 2026 **Author:** Dr. Mohit Saraogi **Content:** # Health Checkups for Surrogate Mother After Baby Delivery in the IVF Surrogacy Process by [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/author/drmohitsaraogi/ "Posts by Dr. Mohit Saraogi") | Feb 16, 2026 ![Post delivery care in the surrogacy process](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDgwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjY3NSIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDEwODAgNjc1Ij48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojY2ZkNGRiO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg==) Surrogacy is a highly structured and medically supervised process, but the journey does not end with baby delivery.

In the case of surrogate mothers, the follow-up of medical conditions can trace the recovery from pregnancy and the stresses related to delivery, including all medicines that might have been used in the conception process via IVF. ### Regular checkups help: ![Detect postpartum complications early](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDIiIGhlaWdodD0iNDAxIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAyIDQwMSI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Detect postpartum complications early - Saraogi Hospital") #### Detect postpartum complications early ![Monitor Blood Pressure and Bleeding](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDIiIGhlaWdodD0iNDAxIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAyIDQwMSI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Monitor Blood Pressure and Bleeding - Saraogi Hospital") #### Monitor Blood Pressure and Bleeding ![Ensure proper uterine involution](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDIiIGhlaWdodD0iNDAxIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAyIDQwMSI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Ensure proper uterine involution - Saraogi Hospital") #### Ensure proper uterine involution ![Support safe hormonal stabilization](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDIiIGhlaWdodD0iNDAxIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAyIDQwMSI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Support safe hormonal stabilization - Saraogi Hospital") #### Support safe hormonal stabilization ![Safeguard long-term reproductive health](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDIiIGhlaWdodD0iNDAxIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAyIDQwMSI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Safeguard long-term reproductive health - Saraogi Hospital") #### Safeguard long-term reproductive health Comprehensive post-delivery monitoring ensures that the surrogate mother transitions safely back to normal health. If you are planning or managing a surrogacy journey, structured post-delivery care ensures safety and long-term well-being. [Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## Immediate Post Delivery Care and Hospital Monitoring ### The first 24 to 72 hours after delivery are critical. In these hours, doctors closely monitor: #### - Blood Pressure and Vital Signs #### - Postpartum bleeding #### - Uterine Contraction and Recovery #### - Surgical wound healing in case of cesarean delivery #### - Signs of Infection There is encouragement of pain management, hydration, and movement to avoid complications such as blood clots. Suitable hospital monitoring is essential to ensure the safe discharge of the patient. ## Essential Medical Tests and Physical Recovery Monitoring ![Essential Medical Tests and Physical Recovery Monitoring](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDIiIGhlaWdodD0iNDAxIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAyIDQwMSI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "p7 - Saraogi Hospital") ### Even after discharge, follow-up visits are needed. They may comprise: #### - Complete blood count test for anemia #### - Blood Pressure Evaluation #### - Blood sugar testing if gestational diabetes was present #### - Ultrasound is required to assess uterine recovery #### - Wound Inspection after Cesarean Section Doctors also keep an eye on menstrual cycle return and physical strength. Timely medical checking helps avoid long-term health risks and ensures full recovery. ## Emotional Well-Being and Hormonal Health After Surrogacy Hormonal changes can influence the emotions of a woman after giving birth. Surrogate mothers can have temporary mood swings, tiredness, and emotional instability due to hormonal changes. Psychological counseling and family support are crucial in maintaining stability in terms of emotions. Good communication with the medical teams can help in recognizing any potential signs of [postpartum](https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/articles/postpartum) depression and anxiety. Emotional well-being is as important as physical well-being in the process of IVF Surrogacy. ## Conclusion Checkups of the surrogate mothers after the delivery of the baby is a significant component of IVF surrogacy services. From hospitalization to hormonal and counseling therapy, these services normally provide support to health and future reproductive health. With medical supervision, the surrogate mothers can regain their full health confidently and safely after their remarkable journey. **Postpartum recovery deserves attention and expert monitoring to ensure complete physical and emotional healing.** [Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## Frequently Asked Questions ##### How long should a surrogate mother continue post-delivery checkups? Regular follow-ups are advised for at least six weeks after delivery, with additional visits if medical concerns arise. ##### Are hormonal changes normal after surrogacy delivery? Yes, hormonal fluctuations are natural after childbirth and usually stabilize within a few weeks. ##### Is emotional support necessary after surrogacy? Yes, emotional counseling and support help ensure mental well-being during the postpartum phase. ##### Can a surrogate become pregnant again in the future? Yes, after proper medical evaluation and adequate recovery, a future pregnancy is possible unless medically contraindicated. ##### What medical complications should a surrogate watch for after delivery? Excessive bleeding, severe abdominal pain, high fever, persistent headaches, or sudden swelling should be reported to a doctor immediately, as they may indicate postpartum complications. ##### When do menstrual cycles usually resume after surrogacy delivery? Menstrual cycles typically return within six to eight weeks if the surrogate is not breastfeeding, though this may vary depending on individual hormonal recovery. **Categories:** Blog --- ### [ICSI vs IVF: Which Fertility Treatment is Right for You?](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/icsi-vs-ivf-which-fertility-treatment-is-right-for-you/) **Published:** March 14, 2026 **Author:** Dr. Mohit Saraogi **Content:** # ICSI vs IVF: Which Fertility Treatment is Right for You? by [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/author/drmohitsaraogi/ "Posts by Dr. Mohit Saraogi") | Mar 14, 2026 ![ICSI vs IVF: Which Fertility Treatment is Right for You?](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDgwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjY3NSIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDEwODAgNjc1Ij48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojY2ZkNGRiO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg==) When someone tells you that you need ICSI, it’s natural to feel confused. Your first instinct might be to think: Wait, isn’t that just a fancy name for IVF? The honest answer is no—but I understand why you’d think that. ICSI and IVF aren’t the same thing. Think of it this way: [IVF](https://saraogihospital.com/infertility-treatment-mumbai/) is the overall fertility treatment process. ICSI is one specific technique used during that process. For some couples, ICSI makes all the difference. For others, it won’t help at all. ![ICSI vs IVF: Which Fertility Treatment is Right for You?](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDIiIGhlaWdodD0iNDAxIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAyIDQwMSI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Picture2 - Saraogi Hospital") [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/) puts it simply: “ICSI solves one problem—when a man’s sperm can’t fertilize an egg on its own. But it’s not a cure-all. We only recommend it when the lab results show it’ll actually help your situation.” Over the years, we’ve worked with hundreds of couples dealing with male factor infertility. The ones who do best are the ones who truly understand what [ICSI](https://saraogihospital.com/icsi-treatment-in-mumbai/) is, why they might need it, and what to realistically expect. That’s what this guide is about. We’ll walk you through what ICSI actually does, when you genuinely need it, what it costs, and how it changes your chances of success. No jargon. No overselling. Just the facts. ## Understanding IVF & ICSI: Let's Clear Up the Confusion ICSI and IVF are not two different treatments competing with each other. That’s the biggest misconception we see. ### Here's what actually happens ![Understanding IVF & ICSI: Let's Clear Up the Confusion](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDIiIGhlaWdodD0iNDUxIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAyIDQ1MSI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Picture3 - Saraogi Hospital") E #### In regular IVF, here's the basic process: Your eggs are collected. Your partner’s sperm is collected. We put them together in a dish and let nature do its thing. The sperm finds the egg, enters it, and fertilization happens naturally—just like it would in your body. Then we watch the embryo develop over the next five days. With ICSI, almost everything is the same—except for one crucial moment. Instead of letting sperm find the egg naturally, we do something very specific: We take one single healthy sperm and inject it directly into the egg using a microscopic needle. That’s it. The rest of the process unfolds exactly like regular IVF. E #### A simple way to think about it: Imagine a locked room with an egg inside. In regular IVF, we unlock the door and let sperm swim in on their own. With ICSI, we unlock the door, pick one sperm, and physically guide it inside. The result—a fertilized egg—is the same either way. The method is just different. E #### Here's the critical point that changes everything: ICSI is only helpful if your sperm has specific problems preventing natural fertilization. If your sperm is healthy and swimming well, ICSI won’t improve anything. It’ll just add cost without benefit. This is exactly why understanding your semen analysis matters so much. Those numbers tell us whether you actually need ICSI or if regular IVF will work fine. ## When Do You Actually Need ICSI? (Here's What Your Numbers Mean) ![When Do You Actually Need ICSI? (Here's What Your Numbers Mean)](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDIiIGhlaWdodD0iNDAxIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAyIDQwMSI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Picture4 - Saraogi Hospital") Not everyone needs ICSI. But certain sperm issues make it essential. E ### Low Sperm Count (Below 15 Million Per Milliliter) With low count, few sperm can reach the egg naturally. Regular IVF fertilizes only 20-30% of eggs. ICSI fertilizes 50-60% of the same eggs. We inject sperm directly—no swimming required. E ### Slow-Moving Sperm (Motility Below 40%) If sperm can’t swim well, they struggle to reach the egg. ICSI bypasses this problem completely. We deliver the sperm directly to the egg. E ### Abnormally Shaped Sperm (Over 96% Abnormal) When most sperm have abnormal shapes, natural fertilization is unlikely. ICSI lets us find and inject the few healthy sperm available. E ### Previous Fertilization Failure If less than 2% of your eggs fertilized in a previous IVF cycle, something blocked natural fertilization. ICSI removes that barrier. It’s the logical next step. E ### High DNA Fragmentation Sometimes sperm look normal, but their DNA is damaged. This causes fertilization failure or poor embryo development. ICSI combined with other strategies can help. E ### Ejaculation Problems Retrograde ejaculation, blocked ducts, or no ejaculation mean sperm must be retrieved directly from the testicle (TESE procedure). With limited sperm available, ICSI prevents waste and maximizes fertilization. Unsure if you need ICSI based on your semen analysis? Book a consultation with Dr. Mohit Saraogi and get clarity on your specific situation. [Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## When You Probably DON'T Need ICSI If your semen analysis shows normal results—normal sperm count (over 15 million/ml), normal movement (over 40% forward motion), and normal shape (less than 96% abnormal)—you don’t need ICSI. Your sperm already fertilize eggs naturally. If your infertility is a female factor issue (your partner’s age, endometriosis, blocked tubes, or low ovarian reserve), ICSI won’t help because the problem isn’t sperm fertilization. Similarly, if your infertility is unexplained but your sperm parameters are normal, ICSI doesn’t improve your odds. Some clinics recommend ICSI to every male partner anyway—because they can charge more. Don’t fall for it. Ask your doctor to explain specifically why ICSI is recommended for your numbers, not as a blanket recommendation. Here’s the truth: Your semen analysis numbers matter enormously. Two patients with similar sperm counts might get completely different ICSI recommendations based on other parameters like motility or morphology. Patient A with a count of 40 million/ml, 55% motility, and 4% normal morphology might need ICSI. Patient B with 50 million/ml, 60% motility, and 3% normal morphology might not. The difference? Patient A’s numbers cross a threshold where ICSI becomes genuinely beneficial. Patient B’s don’t. This is why getting your actual numbers and understanding them is critical. Ask your doctor: “Based on these specific numbers, why do I need ICSI?” If they can’t give you a clear answer tied to your results, get a second opinion. ## The ICSI Process: What Actually Happens (Step by Step) E ### Days 1-12: Ovarian Stimulation You take hormone injections to help your ovaries produce multiple eggs. You’ll have ultrasounds to monitor progress. You might experience bloating or mild discomfort—normal side effects. This phase is identical to regular IVF. E ### Day of Egg Retrieval Two things happen simultaneously: Your eggs are collected through a needle-guided ultrasound procedure (takes 15 minutes, you’re sedated). Your partner provides a fresh semen sample in a private room at the clinic. Timing matters—the sample must be fresh for the lab. E ### In the Lab: ICSI Happens Here (2-4 Hours) The embryologist examines your partner’s semen, selects one healthy sperm, and injects it directly into each egg using a microscope. This is the only difference from regular IVF—instead of letting sperm fertilize eggs naturally, we do it for them. They check for fertilization 16-18 hours later E ### Days 1-5: Embryo Development Your embryos develop normally: Day 1 (2 cells), Day 2 (4 cells), Day 3 (8 cells), Day 5 (blastocyst). ICSI doesn’t change how embryos develop. Success now depends on embryo quality and genetics. E ### Day 5-6: Embryo Transfer One or two embryos are transferred into your uterus using a thin catheter. It feels similar to a Pap smear—uncomfortable but not painful. The embryos don’t know how they were fertilized. E ### Days 7-12: The Wait You go home and wait. Progesterone support continues. This waiting period is emotionally tough—that’s normal. Stay realistic and lean on your clinic’s support. E ### Day 12-14: Pregnancy Test A blood test checks [hCG levels](https://americanpregnancy.org/getting-pregnant/hcg-levels/) to confirm if the embryo has implanted. If positive, follow-up ultrasounds confirm a healthy pregnancy. If negative, your clinic discusses the next steps. Timeline: Start to Answers = 26 Days Days 1-12 (Stimulation) → Day 13 (Retrieval) → Days 14-18 (ICSI & Development) → Days 19-20 (Transfer) → Days 21-26 (Wait & Test) ## Conclusion ICSI isn’t a miracle treatment; it’s a targeted solution for male factor infertility. If your sperm count is low, motility is poor, or you’ve experienced fertilization failure before, ICSI can dramatically improve your chances of pregnancy. But if your sperm is healthy, adding ICSI just wastes money. The key is getting proper testing and choosing a clinic that specializes in male factor cases, not one that recommends ICSI to everyone. At Saraogi Hospital, we review your specific semen analysis numbers and recommend ICSI only when it will genuinely help your situation. Don’t let confusion about ICSI delay your fertility journey.

[Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## Frequently Asked Questions ##### Is ICSI the same as IVF? No. IVF is the overall process. ICSI is one technique used during IVF. Every ICSI cycle involves IVF, but not every IVF cycle uses ICSI. It depends on your sperm. ##### Does ICSI cost a lot more? It adds ₹15,000-25,000 to your IVF cost. So if IVF costs ₹2 lakhs, ICSI brings it to ₹2.15-2.25 lakhs. It’s worth the money if you need it, but wasteful if you don’t. ##### If I do ICSI, will I definitely get pregnant? No. ICSI solves fertilization problems. But pregnancy involves many other factors: egg quality, embryo development, uterine health, implantation. ICSI improves your odds for the fertilization step. Everything else is separate. ##### Can the injection damage my eggs? Very rarely. Less than 5% of eggs suffer damage from injection. Most fertilize and develop normally. Our embryologists minimize this risk through training and care. ##### How long does the actual ICSI procedure take? The injection process takes 2-4 hours depending on egg count. You’re not awake during this—you’re recovering from your egg retrieval. The embryologist does all the work. ##### Should I do ICSI even if my sperm looks borderline normal? Ask your doctor to explain why, based on your specific numbers. If sperm parameters are truly normal, ICSI won’t help. Some clinics recommend it anyway for profit. Don’t assume—question it. ##### If my first IVF cycle had zero fertilization, should I definitely do ICSI next time? Very likely yes. Zero fertilization suggests sperm couldn’t fertilize naturally. ICSI directly solves this. But get your semen analysis checked first. Sometimes the problem is egg quality, not just sperm. ##### Can I do IVF without ICSI if my sperm count is low? Technically yes, but not recommended if count is very low. Low count means few sperm available. Hoping one naturally finds and fertilizes an egg leaves you with terrible odds. ICSI gives you reasonable chances. ##### Is ICSI better than regular IVF? For male factor: Yes, absolutely. For normal sperm: No, they’re equal. It entirely depends on your diagnosis. ##### How much sperm do you need for ICSI to work? Just one healthy sperm per egg. Even if your count is extremely low—like 1 million or less—if we can find one good sperm, ICSI works beautifully. That’s actually the power of ICSI. ##### Can ICSI make embryo quality better? No. ICSI helps sperm get into the egg. Embryo quality depends on the genetics of the egg and sperm. ICSI doesn’t change that. A healthy embryo from ICSI is no different from one created through regular IVF. ##### Is ICSI safe for the baby? Yes. Decades of research confirm this. Children born from ICSI have identical health outcomes to naturally conceived children. No increased risks. No genetic changes. **Categories:** Blog --- ### [Surrogacy Cost for Twins: What Influences the Final Price?](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/surrogacy-cost-for-twins-what-influences-the-final-price/) **Published:** April 13, 2026 **Author:** Dr. Mohit Saraogi **Content:** # Surrogacy Cost for Twins: What Influences the Final Price? by [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/author/drmohitsaraogi/ "Posts by Dr. Mohit Saraogi") | Apr 13, 2026 ![air-pollution-related-problems](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDgwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjY3NSIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDEwODAgNjc1Ij48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojY2ZkNGRiO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg==) Honestly, there is no single answer. Twin surrogacy costs more than single baby surrogacy, but it is not simply double the price. What you end up paying depends on how the [IVF](https://saraogihospital.com/about/) cycle goes, what the surrogate needs medically, how delivery plays out, and which city and clinic you are working with. [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/) is direct about it: “Twin [surrogacy](https://saraogihospital.com/surrogacy-in-india/) costs more because the medical responsibility is greater. Every additional risk the surrogate carries has to be planned and accounted for, financially and emotionally.” ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDAwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjY2NyIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDEwMDAgNjY3Ij48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojY2ZkNGRiO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg== "Picture1 - Saraogi Hospital") This guide covers every cost component in[ ](https://saraogihospital.com/surrogacy-in-mumbai/)surrogacy for twins in Mumbai, what can push the price up, and how to actually plan your budget. Not the optimistic version. The real one. ## Is Twin Surrogacy Always More Expensive? Yes. But not for the reason most people assume. It is not just “two babies.” It is the medical weight that comes with a twin pregnancy from the very start. More prenatal visits. More monitoring. A much higher chance of a C-section. Preterm labour is a real possibility, and when twins arrive early, NICU care follows. Clinics price for this. Some charge a flat additional fee for twin pregnancies. Others adjust surrogate compensation and hospital packages to reflect the higher medical load. Either way, you will pay more and knowing why helps you ask better questions before you sign anything. Not everyone needs ICSI. But certain sperm issues make it essential. ## Main Cost Components in Twin Surrogacy ### Here is what the total cost is actually made up of: E #### IVF and Embryo Preparation Ovarian stimulation, egg retrieval, fertilisation, embryo culture, and transfer. If a donor egg is needed, that is priced separately. E #### Surrogate Compensation and Care Monthly allowance, nutrition, clothing, accommodation where required, and all medical costs through the pregnancy. For twins, this is higher than standard. E #### Legal and Documentation Fees The Surrogacy Regulation Act requires all agreements to be formally drafted and registered. Legal counsel and court fees are part of this, not an optional add-on. E #### Delivery and Hospital Charges Twin deliveries almost always end in a C-section. Operation theatre charges, anaesthesia, and post-delivery hospital stay all cost more than a standard delivery. E #### NICU and Newborn Care Twins are often born before full term. [NICU care](https://www.stanfordchildrens.org/en/topic/default?id=the-neonatal-intensive-care-unit-nicu-90-P02389) is not guaranteed, but it is common enough that you should plan for it. This is one of the biggest unexpected costs families face. E #### Clinic and Coordination Fees Surrogate matching, case management, and coordination are sometimes included in the package and sometimes not. Ask specifically. Want to understand your actual twin surrogacy cost? Speak with our specialist for a clear, itemised estimate. [Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## Factors That Can Push the Final Price Higher The components above are fairly predictable. These are not.  #### More than one IVF cycle If the first transfer does not work, you go again. Each cycle adds to the total.  #### Donor egg requirement If the intended mother cannot use her own eggs, donor charges apply on top of everything else.  #### Surrogate's location Compensation expectations differ between metros and smaller cities.  #### Pregnancy complications Gestational diabetes, bed rest, preeclampsia. Any of these increase medical costs through the pregnancy.  #### Premature delivery Twins born before 34 weeks can need extended NICU care. That bill adds up fast.  #### Legal revisions If documentation needs to be redone or there are court appearances, legal fees go up. None of this is certain. But going in without a contingency for these possibilities is how couples end up financially stressed mid-journey. ## How to Plan Your Twin Surrogacy Budget ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDAwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjY2OCIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDEwMDAgNjY4Ij48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojY2ZkNGRiO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg== "Picture2 - Saraogi Hospital")  #### Ask for an itemised cost sheet Do not accept a single package number. Ask your clinic to break down every component. What is covered, what is billed separately, and what happens if something changes.  #### Add 15 to 20 percent on top of the quoted amount Build in a buffer from the start. Not as a worst-case figure. As a normal part of your planning.  #### Ask what happens if the first transfer fails Before you sign anything, get clarity on the additional cost for a second attempt if the first does not work.  #### Get specifics on NICU coverage For twins this is not a hypothetical. Ask whether newborn NICU charges are inside the hospital agreement or billed separately.  #### Verify legal compliance Your clinic must be registered under the ART and Surrogacy Regulation Act. Working with an unregistered clinic can create legal problems that cost far more than the surrogacy itself.  #### Ask about surrogate insurance Some clinics arrange medical insurance for the surrogate during pregnancy. If yours does not, ask about it independently before the process starts. Planning twin surrogacy and need clarity on every cost? Our team will walk you through it, line by line. [Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## Frequently Asked Questions ##### What is the average cost of twin surrogacy in India? Twin surrogacy in India typically falls between ₹25 to ₹40 lakhs. The range varies based on the clinic, city, number of IVF cycles needed, and delivery outcomes. ##### Does the surrogate receive higher compensation for twins? In most cases, yes. Carrying twins places greater physical demands on the surrogate, and compensation is usually revised upward to reflect that. ##### Is a donor egg always needed for twin surrogacy? No. If the intended mother has healthy eggs, her own are used. A donor egg is only needed when egg quality or ovarian reserve is a concern. Those charges are separate. ##### What hidden costs should we ask about? Ask specifically about NICU standby charges, repeat transfer costs, legal revision fees, and surrogate accommodation. These are often left out of the standard quote. ##### How long does twin surrogacy take from start to finish? Most couples complete the process in 18 to 24 months. That covers IVF preparation, surrogate matching, legal work, the pregnancy, delivery, and post-birth formalities. ##### Can complications significantly change the final cost? Yes. Preterm labour, C-section, and NICU stays are the three biggest financial variables in twin surrogacy. Budget for them even if the pregnancy goes smoothly. **Categories:** Blog --- ### [First Trimester Pregnancy Symptoms Week by Week](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/first-trimester-pregnancy-symptoms-week-by-week/) **Published:** April 13, 2026 **Author:** Dr. Mohit Saraogi **Content:** # First Trimester Pregnancy Symptoms Week by Week by [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/author/drmohitsaraogi/ "Posts by Dr. Mohit Saraogi") | Apr 13, 2026 ![First-Trimester-Pregnancy-Symptoms Week-by-Week](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDgwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjY3NSIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDEwODAgNjc1Ij48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojY2ZkNGRiO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg==) ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMjAwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjYxMiIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDEyMDAgNjEyIj48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojY2ZkNGRiO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg== "Picture4 - Saraogi Hospital") The first trimester covers weeks 1 to 13 of your pregnancy. For most women, this is the phase where the body changes the fastest and the symptoms hit the hardest, often before you even have time to process that you are pregnant. [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/) at [Saraogi Hospital](https://saraogihospital.com/) puts it simply: “Every woman’s first trimester is different. Some feel everything at once. Some feel very little. Both can be completely normal. What matters is knowing what to watch for and when to reach out.” This guide walks you through what is actually happening in your body, week by week, and what symptoms are expected, manageable, or worth a call to your doctor. ## What Is the First Trimester and Why Does It Matter? The first trimester is the foundation of your pregnancy. Your baby goes from a cluster of cells to a fully formed foetus with a heartbeat, limbs, and developing organs, all within 13 weeks. For your body, this period is intense. Hormones like hCG and progesterone rise sharply. Your blood volume increases. Your digestive system slows down. Your immune system adjusts. All of this happens quietly in the background, which is why you feel so much even when nothing is visibly showing yet. It is also the trimester where the risk of miscarriage is highest, which is why early monitoring and awareness of symptoms matters more than most people realise.

[Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## Week by Week Symptoms in the First Trimester ### Weeks 1 to 4: Before You Even Know Technically, weeks 1 and 2 count from your last menstrual period, before conception even occurs. Fertilisation usually happens around week 2. By week 3, the fertilised egg is travelling to the uterus and beginning to implant. Most women do not feel much yet. Some notice light spotting from implantation around week 3 or 4, which is often mistaken for a light period. Mild bloating and a heightened sense of smell may begin to appear. A home pregnancy test typically turns positive around week 4. ### Weeks 5 to 6: When Symptoms Start to Show This is where most women first feel that something is different. hCG levels rise quickly during these weeks and that is what drives most early symptoms. Common symptoms at this stage include nausea, especially in the morning but it can strike at any time, sore and tender breasts, fatigue that feels disproportionate to what you have done, frequent urination, and mood shifts that can feel sudden and unexplained. Food aversions are also common, and some women develop a metallic taste in the mouth. ### Weeks 7 to 9: The Peak of Discomfort For many women, weeks 7 to 9 are the toughest stretch of the first trimester. Nausea is often at its worst. Fatigue can be significant enough to affect daily functioning. Some women experience vomiting multiple times a day. Heartburn and constipation become more noticeable as progesterone slows digestion. Headaches are common. Mild cramping, without bleeding, can occur as the uterus begins to expand. Emotional sensitivity tends to be high during this phase as well. The baby’s heartbeat is usually visible on an ultrasound by week 7 or 8, which for many couples is a meaningful and reassuring milestone. ### Weeks 10 to 13: Settling Into the Pregnancy Most women notice a gradual easing of symptoms as they approach the end of the first trimester. Nausea starts to reduce for many by week 10 or 11, though it continues for some into the second trimester. Energy levels begin to return slowly. The uterus has moved up and out of the pelvis, which reduces some of the pressure and discomfort from earlier weeks. By week 12 or 13, the risk of [miscarriage](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30422585/) drops significantly and many couples choose this time to share the news. A nuchal translucency scan is typically done around week 11 to 13 to screen for chromosomal conditions. ## Symptoms That Need a Doctor's Attention Most first trimester symptoms are normal. These are not. Contact your doctor if you experience heavy bleeding with or without clots, severe cramping that does not ease, a high fever above 38 degrees Celsius, pain on one side of the abdomen which can be a sign of ectopic pregnancy, or persistent vomiting that prevents you from keeping any food or fluids down. It is also worth mentioning to your doctor if your symptoms suddenly disappear entirely before week 10. A complete and abrupt stop in symptoms at that stage is not always cause for alarm, but it warrants a check. Trust your instincts. If something feels off, it is always better to call than to wait. Not sure if your symptoms are normal? Book a consultation and get clarity.

Keep plain crackers or dry toast nearby for mornings. Ginger, whether in tea or lozenge form, helps many women. Avoid spicy, oily, or strongly scented foods if they trigger your nausea.  #### For Fatigue Rest when you can without guilt. This is your body building a placenta from scratch. Aim for 8 hours at night and a short rest during the day if possible. Light walking can actually help with energy levels better than complete rest.  #### For Mood Changes Hormonal mood shifts in the first trimester are real and valid. Talking to your partner, a trusted friend, or a counsellor makes a difference. Do not dismiss what you are feeling as overreaction.  #### For Constipation and Bloating Increase water intake and add fibre gradually through fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Avoid straining. If it becomes uncomfortable, speak to your doctor about safe options during pregnancy.  #### For Breast Tenderness A well-fitted, supportive bra worn consistently through the day and night if needed helps significantly. Avoid underwire styles if they add pressure. Need personalised care through your first trimester? Our team is here to help.

Symptom intensity varies widely and having mild or no symptoms does not mean something is wrong. If you are concerned, an early ultrasound can confirm the pregnancy is progressing well. ##### When does morning sickness usually start and stop? Nausea typically begins around week 5 or 6 and eases for most women by week 12 to 14. For some, it continues into the second trimester. Severe, persistent vomiting that affects your ability to eat or drink needs medical attention. ##### Can cramping in early pregnancy be normal? Mild cramping without bleeding is common, especially in weeks 5 to 10 as the uterus expands. Sharp, one-sided pain or cramping accompanied by heavy bleeding is not normal and needs immediate evaluation. ##### How much weight should I gain in the first trimester? Most women gain between 1 to 2 kilograms in the first trimester. Appetite changes and nausea can make this variable. Your doctor will monitor your weight through the pregnancy and guide you based on your starting weight and overall health. ##### When should I book my first prenatal appointment? Ideally around week 6 to 8 after a positive pregnancy test. Your first visit will include a blood test, early ultrasound, and a review of your medical history to set up your care plan for the pregnancy. ##### Can stress affect first trimester symptoms? Stress does not cause miscarriage, but it can intensify physical symptoms like nausea, headaches, and fatigue. Managing stress through rest, light activity, and support is a reasonable and worthwhile part of early pregnancy care. **Categories:** Blog --- ### [1 Year After Miscarriage and Still Not Pregnant?](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/1-year-after-miscarriage-and-still-not-pregnant/) **Published:** April 21, 2026 **Author:** Dr. Mohit Saraogi **Content:** # 1 Year After Miscarriage and Still Not Pregnant? by [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/author/drmohitsaraogi/ "Posts by Dr. Mohit Saraogi") | Apr 21, 2026 ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDgwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjY3NSIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDEwODAgNjc1Ij48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojY2ZkNGRiO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg==) One year after a miscarriage without pregnancy usually indicates an underlying medical cause that needs evaluation. The most common reasons are uterine scarring (Asherman’s syndrome) from a previous D&C, hormonal imbalances such as thyroid dysfunction or PCOS, and age-related decline in egg quality. A fertility specialist consultation is advised at this stage, especially for women above 35 or with irregular menstrual cycles, and usually involves a pelvic ultrasound and hormonal blood tests to identify the cause. According to Dr. Mohit Saraogi,[ IVF Doctor in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/), “One year post-loss is where we move from waiting to investigating. The cause is usually traceable, and once traced, treatable in most women. Delayed evaluation only narrows the therapeutic window, particularly in women above 35.” ## Why Am I Not Able to Conceive After Miscarriage? ![Abdominal Pain](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MjQiIGhlaWdodD0iNDE2IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjI0IDQxNiI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "why-am-I-not-able-to-conceive - Saraogi Hospital") Twelve months of failed attempts after pregnancy loss is seldom random; an underlying medical cause is usually at play. A pre-existing condition may have surfaced during the loss itself, or fresh complications may have emerged, intrauterine adhesions and unresolved hormonal patterns being the most frequent. The WHO threshold for infertility is twelve months of regular unprotected intercourse without conception, dropping to six months for women above 35. Past this point, investigation replaces patience as the clinical response. Frequently seen contributors are hormonal disturbance, scarring inside the uterus after a D&C, thyroid problems, PCOS and endometriosis. Stress from the loss itself disrupts ovulation in many women, worsening the situation further. A consultation with an experienced[ infertility specialist in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/) narrows down the cause far quicker than continued trial. Struggling to conceive after a miscarriage? A timely evaluation can identify the underlying cause early.

Clinically, attempting again is safe once one to three normal menstrual cycles have passed, hCG has returned to zero and the uterine lining has recovered. Waiting beyond this without medical reason adds little value. The clinical approach shifts once twelve months pass without conception. Continued waiting at this stage merely delays detection of treatable conditions, Asherman’s syndrome, PCOS and luteal phase insufficiency being the most common among them. Emotional readiness is its own matter entirely. Some couples feel prepared within weeks of the loss, others need several months to reach the same point. Both timelines hold equal validity. ## How Can I Cope Emotionally with Not Getting Pregnant After a Miscarriage? ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MjQiIGhlaWdodD0iNDE2IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjI0IDQxNiI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "how-can-I-cope-emotionally-with-miscarriage - Saraogi Hospital") - Seek Structured Support: Pregnancy loss and infertility groups reducing the sense of isolation - Opt for Fertility Counselling: Reproductive grief therapists more effective than general counsellors - Keep Partner Communication Open: Mismatched coping styles often creating unspoken friction - Practise Mindfulness: Meditation, yoga and guided breathing assisting in cortisol reduction - Set Smaller Goals: Progress tracked one test, one cycle and one step at a time - Limit Social Media Exposure: Muting pregnancy posts remaining a reasonable step until readiness returns - Prioritise Self-Care: Adequate sleep, sound nutrition and purposeful activity holding clinical value - Retain Hope: Most women conceive successfully once the cause of secondary infertility is identified ## Conclusion Failing to conceive a year post-miscarriage is not a closing chapter but a clinical prompt that investigation is overdue.

Rarely, though a D&C can occasionally result in Asherman’s syndrome, which blocks implantation and needs surgical correction. ##### When is the best time to get pregnant after a miscarriage? Once one to three normal cycles have passed, hCG has returned to zero and the uterine lining has recovered. ##### Is it easy or hard to get pregnant after a miscarriage? Most women conceive within a year, though unresolved difficulty past twelve months warrants specialist evaluation. ##### How can I reduce my chances of having a second miscarriage? Undergo screening for thyroid dysfunction, clotting disorders and uterine abnormalities, alongside early folic acid initiation and management of pre-existing conditions. ##### Is 1 year of no conception after miscarriage considered infertility? Yes, per WHO criteria, with the threshold reduced to six months for women above 35 and a full workup indicated. **Reference links :** - [University of Utah Health – Pregnancy After Miscarriage](https://healthcare.utah.edu/the-scope/health-library/all/2019/05/am-i-normal-i-cant-get-pregnant-after-miscarriage) - [American Pregnancy Association – Pregnancy After Miscarriage](https://americanpregnancy.org/getting-pregnant/pregnancy-loss/pregnancy-after-miscarriage/) **Categories:** Blog --- ### [IVF Process Step by Step in India](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/ivf-process-step-by-step-in-india/) **Published:** April 23, 2026 **Author:** Dr. Mohit Saraogi **Content:** # IVF Process Step by Step in India by [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/author/drmohitsaraogi/ "Posts by Dr. Mohit Saraogi") | Apr 23, 2026 ![IVF Process Step by Step in India](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDgwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjY3NSIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDEwODAgNjc1Ij48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojY2ZkNGRiO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg==) The IVF process in India follows eight clinical stages spread across four to six weeks per cycle. It begins with ovarian stimulation, followed by egg retrieval, sperm collection, fertilisation in the lab, embryo culture, embryo transfer, the two-week wait, and finally the beta hCG test. Each stage has its own medications, monitoring schedule, and clinical markers of success. According to[ Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/), an experienced IVF specialist at[ Saraogi Hospital](https://saraogihospital.com/), most couples fix their attention on the wrong stage, “they concentrate on transfer day. But the foundation is laid 14 days earlier, and small protocol gaps during stimulation end up hurting implantation.” Unsure what actually happens in each IVF stage? [Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## What Happens in the Early Stages of the IVF Process? The first half of IVF is about preparing the ovaries and collecting mature eggs under tight hormonal control. - Stimulation: Hormone injections are given every day for 10 to 12 days so multiple follicles grow together, not just the one egg that a natural cycle releases. Dose depends on age, AMH, and how the ovaries reacted in previous cycles, and the number gets tweaked every few days. - Monitoring: Blood tests and transvaginal scans happen every 2 to 3 days to check follicle size and estrogen. Doctors look for under-response or over-response and adjust the dose right away, because one missed scan can mean a cancelled cycle or even hyperstimulation. - Trigger: Once follicles reach around 18mm, a final trigger shot is given at an exact hour, usually 34 to 36 hours before retrieval. Timing isn’t negotiable. Even a short delay can mess with egg maturity, so the shot is scheduled down to the clock by the treating doctor. - Retrieval: Eggs are collected by ultrasound-guided needle aspiration under short sedation, and the whole thing wraps up in about 20 minutes. Most patients go home the same day with mild cramps while the eggs move straight to the embryology lab. Egg count is usually the first thing patients worry about, but quality matters far more than numbers here, which is why every[ infertility treatment](https://saraogihospital.com/infertility-treatment-mumbai/) protocol is shaped around the patient’s own ovarian reserve. ## What Happens After Egg Retrieval in the IVF Process? Once eggs are out, the work shifts to the embryology lab, where fertilisation and growth are monitored under controlled lab conditions. - Fertilisation: Sperm and eggs are mixed in a dish for standard IVF, or a single sperm is injected straight into the egg when there is severe male-factor infertility through[ ICSI treatment](https://saraogihospital.com/icsi-treatment-in-mumbai/). Fertilisation is checked the next morning, and about 60 to 70 percent of mature eggs usually fertilise normally. - Culture: Embryos sit in a controlled incubator for 3 to 5 days while embryologists track cell division at set intervals. Only the ones that divide cleanly and reach the blastocyst stage get picked for transfer, because weaker embryos rarely go on to implant. - Transfer: A soft catheter places the chosen embryo inside the uterus under ultrasound guidance. The step is short and needs no anaesthesia, and most patients leave the clinic within half an hour of arriving. - Beta test: A blood test 12 to 14 days after transfer confirms pregnancy by measuring beta hCG levels. Home urine kits aren’t reliable this early and often give wrong results, so a blood test is the only way to be sure. Bleeding is a common worry after transfer, and nearly 30 to 40 percent of IVF pregnancies report[ first-trimester spotting](https://saraogihospital.com/bleeding-after-positive-ivf-pregnancy-test/) without it meaning the cycle has failed. ## Why Choose Saraogi Hospital? [Saraogi Hospital](https://saraogihospital.com/about/) carries over 40 years of legacy in reproductive medicine, with more than 1,000 successful pregnancies every year, a 70 percent plus IVF success rate in women under 35, ISO certification, and a clinical team led by Dr. Mohit Saraogi and Dr. Roopa Prasad who build every cycle around the patient’s own fertility profile instead of running stock protocols, which is why couples from across India and abroad pick the hospital to finish their IVF journey here. ## Frequently Asked Questions ##### How long does one full IVF cycle take in India? Roughly 4 to 6 weeks from stimulation to the beta hCG pregnancy test. ##### Is the IVF egg retrieval procedure painful? No. It’s done under short sedation, and most patients feel only mild cramps afterwards. ##### How many injections are needed during IVF stimulation? Usually 10 to 12 daily hormone shots, though the count shifts with ovarian response. ##### How soon can pregnancy be confirmed after embryo transfer? A blood beta hCG test 12 to 14 days post-transfer gives the most accurate answer. ## References: - World Health Organization —[ Infertility overview](https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/infertility) - National Institutes of Health —[ Assisted Reproductive Technology](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK576409/) **Categories:** Blog --- ### [Why IVF Fails With Good Embryos?](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/why-ivf-fails-with-good-embryos/) **Published:** April 24, 2026 **Author:** Dr. Mohit Saraogi **Content:** # Why IVF Fails With Good Embryos? by [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/author/drmohitsaraogi/ "Posts by Dr. Mohit Saraogi") | Apr 24, 2026 ![Why IVF Fails With Good Embryos?](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDgwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjY3NSIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDEwODAgNjc1Ij48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojY2ZkNGRiO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg==) IVF can fail even with good quality embryos because embryo grade alone doesn’t decide pregnancy. Success depends on uterine receptivity, endometrial thickness, immune response, hidden chromosomal defects, progesterone levels, and sperm DNA fragmentation. In about 30 to 50 percent of failed cycles with top-grade embryos, the root cause lies outside the embryo itself. Testing the uterine environment, hormonal balance, and immune markers is often what turns a failed cycle into a successful one. According to[ Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/), an experienced IVF specialist at[ Saraogi Hospital](https://saraogihospital.com/), couples often blame the embryo when a cycle fails, “but in reality the embryo is just one side of the equation. A grade-A blastocyst can still fail if the uterus isn’t ready to receive it, and that’s where most unexplained IVF failures actually sit.” Had a failed IVF cycle despite good embryos? [Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## What Are the Main Reasons IVF Fails With Good Quality Embryos? Most couples assume grading tells the full story of embryo quality, when all it really captures is how the cells look on a screen, not whether the genetic code inside them is intact. - Chromosomes: A blastocyst can grade beautifully on day 5 and still carry a chromosomal error nobody catches by eye, which is usually the hidden reason behind the frustrating pattern where the embryo looks perfect but the pregnancy never takes hold, and PGT-A testing catches this but most clinics offer it only after two cycles have already failed. - Endometrium: The uterine lining is rarely given the attention it deserves during the first IVF cycle, even though it can refuse a perfectly healthy embryo on its own, with thickness below 7mm being the obvious warning sign while poor sub-endometrial blood flow and a shifted receptivity window cause a lot of silent losses that are never investigated in time. - Sperm DNA: Fertilisation can look absolutely normal on day one and still fall apart by day three when paternal DNA is heavily fragmented, something a standard semen analysis report never flags, which ends up being the hidden variable that explains years of unexplained cycle failures for many couples before anyone thinks to test it. - Hormones: Progesterone coverage, the exact timing of the trigger injection, and estrogen stability decide whether the uterus is biologically ready for the embryo on transfer day, and when any one of those drifts off protocol the embryo essentially lands in a closed receptivity window instead of an open one. Blaming the embryo first is the instinct, though in practice a proper[ infertility treatment](https://saraogihospital.com/infertility-treatment-mumbai/) review almost always finds the real answer somewhere around it, not inside it. ## What Other Factors Cause Repeated IVF Failure? By the time a couple hits two failures with good embryos, something systemic is almost always in play, and continuing to blame the lab report at that stage just wastes another cycle’s worth of time and money. - Immune: An overactive maternal immune response can mistake the embryo for a foreign threat and work against it, with raised natural killer cell counts, thyroid antibodies, and clotting disorders like APLA being the usual suspects, yet most couples only get tested for these after three back-to-back failures instead of earlier. - Infection: Silent endometritis is probably the most underdiagnosed reason behind repeated IVF failure in India, because there are no symptoms, no pain, and nothing that shows up on a routine scan, yet until a targeted biopsy catches it cycles keep failing regardless of whether the patient goes for regular IVF or[ ICSI treatment](https://saraogihospital.com/icsi-treatment-in-mumbai/) after that. - Transfer: Something as technical as the angle of the catheter or how full the bladder is at transfer time can push the embryo to a spot in the uterus that isn’t ideal for implantation, and these small imperfect decisions add up invisibly across a full cycle in ways that are very hard to audit later. - Lifestyle: Everyday things patients rarely associate with IVF success, uncontrolled diabetes, an unstable thyroid, a high BMI, occasional smoking, months of poor sleep and chronic stress, quietly erode implantation rates and almost never feature in the first conversation until repeated results force them onto the table. Recurrent implantation failure behaves nothing like a first-attempt cycle and needs its own investigation plan, in the same way[ bleeding after IVF](https://saraogihospital.com/bleeding-after-positive-ivf-pregnancy-test/) has to be read very differently from expected post-transfer spotting. ## Why Choose Saraogi Hospital? [Saraogi Hospital](https://saraogihospital.com/about/) brings 40 years of reproductive medicine into a single clinical framework, with a 70 percent plus success rate in women under 35, in-house PGT-A, ERA and EndomeTRIO workups for endometrial receptivity, dedicated immune and thrombophilia panels for repeated failure cases, and a clinical lead of Dr. Mohit Saraogi along with Dr. Roopa Prasad heading a team that builds every second-opinion protocol around the actual reason a previous cycle failed rather than running the same plan again, which is why couples with two or three unsuccessful attempts elsewhere come here for a fresh clinical read. ## Frequently Asked Questions ##### Can an IVF cycle fail even with a grade A embryo? Grade A embryos can still fail due to chromosomal defects, thin uterine lining, immune rejection, or low progesterone support. ##### How many failed IVF cycles before further testing? Most specialists advise deeper testing like PGT-A, ERA, and immune panels after two failed cycles with good embryos. ##### Does sperm quality affect IVF success with good embryos? High sperm DNA fragmentation can cause embryo arrest after day 3, even when the initial grading appears normal. ##### Is repeated IVF failure always due to the embryo? Most repeated failures trace back to endometrial, immune, hormonal, or lifestyle factors rather than the embryo itself. ## References: - National Institutes of Health —[ Repeated implantation failure in IVF](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6096377/) - World Health Organization —[ Infertility overview](https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/infertility) **Categories:** Blog --- ### [Surrogacy vs IVF With Donor Eggs](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/surrogacy-vs-ivf-with-donor-eggs/) **Published:** April 26, 2026 **Author:** Dr. Mohit Saraogi **Content:** # Surrogacy vs IVF With Donor Eggs by [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/author/drmohitsaraogi/ "Posts by Dr. Mohit Saraogi") | Apr 26, 2026 ![Surrogacy vs IVF With Donor Eggs](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDgwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjY3NSIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDEwODAgNjc1Ij48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojY2ZkNGRiO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg==) Choosing between surrogacy and IVF with donor eggs depends primarily on whether the intended mother can safely carry a pregnancy, since IVF with donor eggs is generally preferred if she can carry but needs healthy eggs, while surrogacy is necessary if carrying is medically dangerous or impossible. Surrogacy remains significantly more expensive and legally more complex, taking 5 to 6 times the cost and 14 to 18 months of timeline compared to donor-egg IVF. According to[ Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/), an experienced IVF specialist at[ Saraogi Hospital](https://saraogihospital.com/), couples often confuse the two as interchangeable options, “they’re really not, one solves a uterine problem and the other solves an egg problem, and picking the wrong path adds years of unnecessary complication and cost to what should be a straightforward clinical decision.” Unsure whether surrogacy or donor-egg IVF is right for you? [Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## Surrogacy vs IVF With Donor Eggs: Side-by-Side Comparison Both treatments often come up in the same fertility consultation despite resolving completely different clinical concerns, which is how many couples end up pursuing the longer, costlier option when the shorter one would have addressed the actual issue. Parameter Surrogacy IVF With Donor Eggs Solves Problem with the uterus or ability to carry pregnancy Problem with the woman’s own egg quality or quantity Who carries the baby A registered surrogate carries the pregnancy The intending mother carries the pregnancy herself Legal complexity Heavy, needs District Medical Board certificate, Essentiality Certificate, surrogate insurance, court-backed parentage order Minimal, regulated under the ART Act 2021 with standard donor consent paperwork Timeline 14 to 18 months from start to delivery including legal clearances 3 to 5 months from egg donor matching to embryo transfer Cost range (India) ₹15,00,000 to ₹25,00,000 ₹2,00,000 to ₹4,00,000 A structured[ infertility treatment](https://saraogihospital.com/infertility-treatment-mumbai/) evaluation resolves this uncertainty well before treatment begins, clarifying which of the two routes the underlying diagnosis genuinely requires and preventing avoidable financial and procedural commitments on the wrong path. ## How Do I Decide Between Surrogacy and Donor-Egg IVF? The clinical diagnosis alone dictates the appropriate route, since acting against diagnostic findings tends to result either in unnecessary legal and procedural burden or in a pregnancy the patient’s body cannot medically sustain. - Uterus: Clinical presentations such as MRKH syndrome, extensive tubercular or post-surgical uterine damage, or any condition under which pregnancy becomes medically unsafe, restrict the workable pathway to surrogacy alone, given that donor-egg IVF does not address the underlying structural deficit regardless of donor-egg quality. - Egg quality: A functional uterus paired with non-viable oocytes arising from premature ovarian failure, age-related ovarian decline, or two to three prior IVF cycles that failed on the woman’s own eggs, positions donor-egg[ ICSI treatment](https://saraogihospital.com/icsi-treatment-in-mumbai/) as the clinically appropriate protocol, since it shortens the treatment timeline meaningfully and lowers the overall financial commitment. - Age factor: Patients over 42 with confirmed uterine health typically move from per-cycle success rates below 5 percent on own eggs to approximately 50 to 60 percent with donor eggs, which removes any clinical justification for surrogacy wherever the uterus itself remains structurally and functionally sound. - Legal factor: Surrogacy eligibility in India in 2026 remains restricted to married Indian couples, NRIs, OCI cardholders, and widowed or divorced single women aged 35 to 45, whereas donor-egg IVF operates under the ART Act 2021 with considerably lighter documentation requirements and a broader eligible patient base. Protocol transitions between the two options do occur in response to evolving diagnostic findings, which is why accurate patient understanding of related pregnancy outcomes such as[ first-trimester spotting](https://saraogihospital.com/bleeding-after-positive-ivf-pregnancy-test/) holds particular relevance for women carrying a donor-egg pregnancy themselves. ## Why Choose Saraogi Hospital? [Saraogi Hospital](https://saraogihospital.com/about/) brings 40 years of reproductive medicine into one clinical framework covering both surrogacy and donor-egg IVF, with a registered surrogacy programme aligned to the 2021 Act and 2024 amendment rules, in-house donor screening, legal handling for District Medical Board certification and parentage paperwork, and a clinical lead of Dr. Mohit Saraogi along with Dr. Roopa Prasad who route couples to the pathway matched with their diagnosis rather than the option carrying greater perceived value. ## Frequently Asked Questions ##### What is the main difference between surrogacy and donor-egg IVF? Surrogacy uses another woman to carry the pregnancy, while donor-egg IVF has the intending mother carrying her own pregnancy with a donor’s egg. ##### Which is cheaper, surrogacy or donor-egg IVF? Donor-egg IVF is significantly cheaper, usually one-fifth the cost of surrogacy because it avoids the surrogate, insurance, and legal overheads. ##### Is donor-egg IVF legal in India in 2026? Donor-egg IVF is legal under the ART Act 2021 for married couples and single women, with standard donor consent paperwork required. ##### Can I switch from donor-egg IVF to surrogacy later? Switching is possible if donor-egg IVF fails due to uterine issues, and the treating doctor redirects the couple toward surrogacy at that stage. ## References: - Ministry of Health and Family Welfare —[ Surrogacy (Regulation) Amendment Rules, 2024](https://www.mohfw.gov.in/) - National Institutes of Health —[ Donor oocyte IVF outcomes](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5443335/) **Categories:** Blog --- ## Pages ### [Best IVF Centre in Mumbai- Bringing the gift of parenthood closer.](https://saraogihospital.com/) **Published:** May 25, 2026 **Author:** Dr. Mohit Saraogi **Content:** # Best IVF Centre in Mumbai — Bringing the gift of parenthood closer to you.

The exact price depends on your clinic, treatment protocol, and any add-on procedures you need. At IRIS IVF Centre, part of[ ](https://saraogihospital.com/)[Saraogi Hospital](https://saraogihospital.com/), a standard IVF cycle costs ₹1,00,000–₹1,35,000, with ICSI adding ₹20,000 to the package cost where clinically needed. You’ll find the full itemized breakdown below. We’ve treated fertility patients since 1980, and our specialists bring over 40 years of combined experience to every case. Cost should not stop you from starting a family, so we keep every price clear and upfront. ## IVF Cost in Mumbai vs. IRIS IVF Centre The table below compares typical IVF charges in Mumbai with our rates at IRIS IVF Centre. ProcedureCost in Mumbai (general range)Indicative Treatment Cost at IRIS IVF CentreIUI₹10,000–₹15,000₹7,000IVF₹1,50,000–₹2,50,000₹1,00,000–₹1,35,000ICSI₹1,50,000–₹2,50,000₹1,20,000–₹1,50,000Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET)₹40,000–₹50,000₹35,000Laser Assisted Hatching₹18,000–₹22,000₹7,500IMSI₹2,10,000–₹2,60,000₹1,05,000–₹1,50,000 *Actual cost depends on the patient’s specific treatment plan and clinical requirements. Final pricing is confirmed only after your medical checkup and consultation.* **All figures on this page are indicative treatment costs only.** Your actual cost may vary based on your clinical requirements, investigations, medications, treatment protocol, and any additional medically indicated procedures. A confirmed cost estimate is provided only after your consultation and clinical evaluation. This indicative pricing is an all-in estimate for one fresh cycle using your own eggs and sperm. It includes consultations, baseline investigations (blood tests and sonography), stimulation injections, oral tablets, egg retrieval, anaesthesia, lab work, embryo culture up to blastocyst stage, one fresh embryo transfer, and standard lab consumables. A standard IVF cycle costs ₹2,40,000–₹3,05,000; if ICSI is medically indicated, it adds ₹20,000 to the total, for ₹2,60,000–₹3,25,000. Embryo freezing (₹20,000) and any add-ons, such as PGT, TESA/PESA, or donor gametes, are shown separately and are not part of this base range unless specified in your personalized plan. Your final cost per IVF cycle depends on your specific treatment plan. We’ll give you a personalized estimate after your first consultation. [Schedule an appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## What Happens at Your Cost Consultation? At your first visit, we’ll walk you through: = #### A review of your medical history, reports, and any prior treatments = #### A brief examination and, if indicated, an ultrasound = #### A discussion of your likely diagnosis and treatment options, such as IUI, IVF, or ICSI = #### A personalized, itemized cost estimate for your recommended plan = #### A clear explanation of what's included, what may cost extra, and your EMI or insurance options ## What Affects the IVF Cost in Mumbai? Many factors shape what you’ll actually pay. Here’s what matters most: ### IVF protocol type ##### Read More Standard, mild stimulation, or natural cycle IVF each need different medication levels, so costs vary. ### Add-on procedures ##### Read More like IMSI or laser-assisted hatching, if medically needed. ### Fertility medications ##### Read More Usually the largest single cost, based on your ovarian reserve and hormone profile. ### Your age and number of cycles needed ##### Read More Younger patients often succeed in fewer cycles. ### Embryo freezing cost ##### Read More for patients using frozen embryo transfer or a freeze-all protocol. ### Lab quality and technology ##### Read More An in-house, well-equipped embryology lab (like ours) affects both outcomes and cost. ### Donor egg IVF or donor sperm needs ##### Read More where applicable. See our[](https://saraogihospital.com/egg-donor-treatment-in-mumbai/)[donor egg treatment page](https://saraogihospital.com/egg-donor-treatment-in-mumbai/) for details. Donor gametes are used only as per ART Act 2021 and ICMR guidelines, with all required screening, consent, and registry formalities. ### Additional testing ##### Read More like PGT, TESA, or PESA, where clinically needed. ### Insurance coverage for IVF and financing options ##### Read More See our EMI and insurance guidance below. Every treatment plan looks different. The clearest way to know your IVF expenses is a personal consultation. We’ll review your history first, then recommend a protocol.

Before you commit to a clinic, look for: = #### Transparent, itemized pricing not just one bundled number = #### Success rates shared honestly by age and diagnosis, not vague “above average” claims = #### An experienced specialist with clear qualifications = #### An in-house lab which reduces delays and handling risk = #### Clarity on what's included Ask whether ICSI, blastocyst culture, and freezing are bundled or billed separately. = #### Financing and insurance support discussed before treatment starts, not after At IRIS IVF Centre, our cost breakdown above reflects exactly this kind of transparency, including which procedures are complimentary rather than billed as add-ons.

ICSI is billed separately. = #### Ask about IVF package deals including multi-cycle options, if your specialist recommends one. = #### Get an early diagnosis The sooner we identify issues like low ovarian reserve or male-factor infertility, the fewer costly add-ons you may need later. Every treatment plan looks different. The clearest way to know your IVF expenses is a personal consultation. We’ll review your history first, then recommend a protocol. [Schedule an appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## Detailed IVF Cost Breakdown Here’s exactly how the average cost of IVF breaks down at IRIS IVF Centre, cycle by cycle. ItemCostTablets (approx.)₹20,000IVF Package (standard cycle)₹1,00,000–₹1,35,000ICSI (add-on, if medically indicated)+₹20,000Consultation + Blood Tests₹5,000Injections₹50,000–₹80,000Egg Retrieval + Anaesthesia₹20,000IVF Lab + Embryo Transfer₹25,000Blastocyst CultureComplimentaryEmbryo Freezing₹20,000Estimated Total, standard IVF cycle₹2,40,000–₹3,05,000Estimated Total, ICSI cycle₹2,60,000–₹3,25,000 If you don’t need embryo freezing right away, you can add it later for ₹20,000, which covers up to 8 months of storage. This reduces your upfront total. ### Two-Cycle and Budget IVF Packages Planning for more than one cycle? We offer a two-cycle IVF package at ₹1,50,000–₹1,70,000. For patients where cost is the main barrier, we also offer Budget IVF at ₹69,999. This option uses a lower dose of stimulation medication, which means fewer eggs retrieved. However, we never lower our lab or embryology standards, regardless of package. Budget IVF is generally considered for younger patients with good ovarian reserve and no major additional fertility factors. It isn’t suitable for everyone. Your doctor will advise whether this protocol is appropriate for you after evaluation. ## IUI Treatment Cost in Mumbai IUI is often the first treatment couples try. It’s less invasive than IVF, skips anesthesia, and finishes quickly. At IRIS IVF Centre, IUI costs ₹7,000. With donor sperm, the cost rises to ₹8,000–₹10,000. [Learn more about IUI treatment at Saraogi Hospital →](https://saraogihospital.com/iui-treatment-in-mumbai/) ## ICSI Treatment Cost in Mumbai [ICSI](https://saraogihospital.com/icsi-treatment-in-mumbai/) stands for Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection. Our embryologists inject a single sperm directly into an egg. This method is more precise than conventional IVF, and we often recommend it for male-factor infertility. At IRIS IVF Centre, ICSI adds ₹20,000 to the standard IVF package cost, bringing it to ₹1,20,000–₹1,55,000. Blastocyst culture is complimentary. With donor sperm, ICSI costs ₹1,40,000–₹1,70,000. ### ICSI with Freeze-All In the freeze-all method, we perform ICSI as usual. But instead of transferring the embryo right away, we freeze it first. We wait roughly two months for your uterine lining to reach optimal thickness. Then we thaw the embryo and transfer it. In suitable candidates, typically younger patients with good-quality embryos and a receptive lining, frozen embryo transfer can achieve clinical pregnancy rates of around 60-70% per transfer in many centres. Your individual chance depends on age, diagnosis, embryo quality, and uterine factors, and will be discussed during your consultation. This option costs ₹1,35,000–₹1,50,000. ## Frozen Embryo Transfer Cost in Mumbai [FET](https://saraogihospital.com/frozen-embryo-transfer-treatment-in-mumbai/), or frozen embryo transfer, uses embryos frozen from a previous cycle. Since it skips hormone stimulation and egg retrieval, the frozen embryo transfer cost is significantly lower than a fresh IVF cycle. At IRIS IVF Centre, FET costs approximately ₹35,000. *Freezing your eggs instead of embryos? See our*[ ](https://saraogihospital.com/egg-freezing-in-mumbai/)[*egg freezing cost in Mumbai*](https://saraogihospital.com/egg-freezing-in-mumbai/) *for separate pricing.* ## IVF Success Rate by Age IVF success depends on age, diagnosis, and treatment protocol. Your specialist will walk you through realistic, evidence-based expectations at your first consultation, not a generic number. Across our practice, our IVF outcomes are in line with published benchmarks for similar patient profiles in Mumbai. Age-specific success rates are discussed during your consultation, along with the limitations of these figures. [See our full IVF success rate breakdown →](https://saraogihospital.com/what-is-the-ivf-success-rate-in-mumbai/) Helpful Answers ## Frequently asked questions ### What factors influence the cost of IVF in Mumbai? Several things affect your total cost. These include the treatment protocol, whether you need extras like ICSI, IMSI, or PGT, your medication needs, and how many cycles you need. At IRIS IVF, we give you a detailed estimate after your first consultation, so there are no surprises later. ### Is IVF covered by insurance, and are financing options available? Insurance coverage for IVF varies by policy and provider. We also offer EMI options. Our patient coordinators will walk you through both during your consultation, along with any insurance reimbursement questions. Bring your existing policy documents so we can assess your coverage accurately. ### Can lifestyle factors or medical conditions affect the overall cost of IVF? Yes. Conditions like PCOS, endometriosis, or low ovarian reserve can require extra diagnostic tests or treatment steps. This may affect your total cost. We’ll flag any of these during your consultation, not after treatment begins. ### Can I plan multiple IVF cycles to reduce costs? Yes. Our two-cycle package often costs less than paying for two single cycles separately. It also improves your cumulative chances of success across both attempts. ### What's the difference between Budget IVF and standard IVF cost? Budget IVF uses a lower dose of stimulation medication, which produces fewer eggs. However, we apply the same lab standards, embryology team, and quality controls as our standard protocol. ## Visit Us **SARAOGI HOSPITAL, MUMBAI** Khetan Apartment, S.V.

The neighbourhood was growing fast. Yet it had barely five or six hospitals. Worse still, general practitioners ran most of them. As a result, women who needed a gynaecologist often got general advice instead. So on 12 October 1980, he acted. He opened his own nursing home and called it Saraogi Maternity and General Hospital. In fact, records suggest he was among the first gynaecologists in Malad to start a dedicated maternity home. Above all, he did it to serve a growing community, not to run a business. He was well prepared, too. By 1980, he had already taught for five years in municipal medical colleges. Because of that, he felt ready to handle almost any case himself. And he did. ## Dr. Rajendra M. Saraogi, founder of Saraogi Hospital ### Credentials and current roles Dr. R. M. Saraogi holds an MD, FCPS, FICOG and DGO, with more than 40 years of experience. He is an Emeritus Professor and former Head of Obstetrics & Gynaecology at Dr. R. N. Cooper Hospital and Seth G.S. Medical College, Mumbai. Today he serves as Director of the Saraogi Group of Hospitals. In addition, he is a Senior Consultant at Nanavati Max Super Speciality Hospital. ### A lifelong teacher and researcher The letters after his name tell only part of the story. To begin with, he won ten gold medals across his MBBS and postgraduate years. For more than four decades, he has taught and mentored students across India. Moreover, he has run twenty-five live surgical workshops nationwide. In total, he has presented over 300 papers and published more than 100. ### Awards and milestones - FOGSI Best Book Award (2005) for his book on HIV in pregnancy - FOGSI Corion Award (2006-07) for developing Meshplasty - MOGS Quiet Valor Award (2025), plus other MOGS and FOGSI honours - Lifetime Achievement Awards from the IMA and the MMA - Founder Member and Patron of the AFG; former Zonal VP of SOVSI ![Smiling older man in a black suit, white shirt, and striped tie; wearing glasses for a professional portrait.](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDI1IiBoZWlnaHQ9IjE1MzUiIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCAxMDI1IDE1MzUiPjxyZWN0IHdpZHRoPSIxMDAlIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEwMCUiIHN0eWxlPSJmaWxsOiNjZmQ0ZGI7ZmlsbC1vcGFjaXR5OiAwLjE7Ii8+PC9zdmc+ "image - Saraogi Hospital") ## A family-led fertility practice across two generations In the beginning, Dr. Saraogi lived with his parents on the hospital premises. Home and work shared one address, so the priorities matched. He also ran free medical camps regularly. Moreover, he treated patients who could not afford care without sending a bill. A few years later, he married Dr. Rashmi Saraogi. She soon joined him in the work. Together, they grew a small maternity home into something much larger. Over time, that growth passed to a second generation. ### **Dr. Rashmi Saraogi, senior obstetrician and fertility specialist** Dr. Rashmi Saraogi holds an MD and DGO, with more than 35 years of experience. She is a senior obstetrician, gynaecologist and fertility specialist. In fact, she is one of the people who shaped this hospital into what it is today. She joined the practice in its early years, soon after marrying the founder, and has cared for Mumbai families ever since. Her work covers the full span of women’s health. She handles obstetrics and pregnancy care, gynaecology, and laparoscopic surgery. Over the years, she has also helped refine the hospital’s fertility and IVF techniques. Many of her patients return to her for their second and third pregnancies. Furthermore, a good number arrive through word-of-mouth referrals, which says a lot about the trust she has built. Working alongside the founder, and later their son Dr. Mohit Saraogi, she helped turn a single Malad maternity home into the fertility group it is now. ![Professional portrait of a smiling woman with short dark hair, wearing a white blouse and pearl necklace against a light background.](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDAwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEzMDAiIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCAxMDAwIDEzMDAiPjxyZWN0IHdpZHRoPSIxMDAlIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEwMCUiIHN0eWxlPSJmaWxsOiNjZmQ0ZGI7ZmlsbC1vcGFjaXR5OiAwLjE7Ii8+PC9zdmc+ "Dr Sushma Saraogiimg - Saraogi Hospital") ![Man with beard and glasses in black scrubs sitting on a red sofa in a clinic lobby/ waiting area.

The founder’s son, Dr. Mohit Saraogi, has taken over the legacy. Today he is recognised as one of Mumbai’s leading IVF specialists. Alongside him works his wife, Dr. Roopa Prasad, who handles high-risk obstetrics and fertility care. In the end, the next generation made the difference. ## The fertility centre today Over time, the hospital has become a focused women’s health and fertility centre. At its core sits the IRIS IVF Centre. Today it supports couples through more than 1,000 pregnancies every year. As a result, its care now covers the full arc of a woman’s reproductive life: [IVF and test tube baby treatment](https://saraogihospital.com/test-tube-baby-centres-mumbai/) [Infertility treatment](https://saraogihospital.com/infertility-treatment-mumbai/) for couples [Frozen embryo transfer](https://saraogihospital.com/frozen-embryo-transfer-treatment-in-mumbai/) [ICSI](https://saraogihospital.com/icsi-treatment-in-mumbai/) and [IMSI](https://saraogihospital.com/imsi-treatment-in-mumbai/) [IUI](https://saraogihospital.com/iui-treatment-in-mumbai/) [Menopause clinic](https://saraogihospital.com/menopause-clinic-mumbai/) [Surrogacy guidance](https://saraogihospital.com/surrogacy-in-mumbai/) [Frozen embryo transfer](https://saraogihospital.com/frozen-embryo-transfer-treatment-in-mumbai/) [Gynaecology](https://saraogihospital.com/best-gynecologist-in-mumbai/) and [obstetrics](https://saraogihospital.com/obstetrician-in-mumbai/) [Laparoscopy](https://saraogihospital.com/laparoscopic-surgery-mumbai/) and [hysteroscopy](https://saraogihospital.com/what-is-hysteroscopy/) [Endometriosis care](https://saraogihospital.com/endometriosis-treatment-in-mumbai/) and [cancer screening](https://saraogihospital.com/oncologists-mumbai/) [Gynaecology](https://saraogihospital.com/best-gynecologist-in-mumbai/) and [obstetrics](https://saraogihospital.com/obstetrician-in-mumbai/) [Menopause clinic](https://saraogihospital.com/menopause-clinic-mumbai/) [MTP and safe abortion care](https://saraogihospital.com/abortion-clinics-mumbai/) [International patient care](https://saraogihospital.com/medical-tourism-international-patient-care/) ### Advanced Embryology Lab and Technology The lab is where much of the detail lives. Specifically, it offers IVF and ICSI, IMSI, blastocyst culture and transfer, laser-assisted hatching, PGT, and time-lapse embryo monitoring. In addition, it provides egg and embryo cryopreservation, ovarian tissue cryopreservation, IVM, NIPT, sequential embryo transfer, PRP ovarian rejuvenation, and AI-assisted embryo selection. More than forty years of experience sit behind every case. Patients also get a treatment plan built around their own diagnosis. Moreover, the team shares transparent [IVF cost guidance](https://saraogihospital.com/ivf-cost-in-mumbai/). Above all, it gives honest answers about [IVF success rates](https://saraogihospital.com/what-is-the-ivf-success-rate-in-mumbai/) rather than guarantees. ## Why Saraogi is a leading IVF hospital in Mumbai Many families choose Saraogi Hospital for a few clear reasons. 01 Four decades of proven experience. The hospital has cared for women since 1980. Each year, it supports over 1,000 pregnancies. As a result, few centres in Mumbai can match its track record. 02 A complete fertility ecosystem. IVF, ICSI, IMSI, IUI and frozen embryo transfer run alongside egg freezing and surrogacy guidance. Therefore, your care never has to leave the building. 03 An advanced in-house lab. PGT, time-lapse monitoring, laser-assisted hatching, IVM, cryopreservation and AI-assisted embryo selection are all available. Because of this, complex and previously failed cases get a real second chance. 04 A renowned team. Dr. Rajendra Saraogi founded the practice as a former Head of Department at Cooper Hospital. Today his son [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/) leads it, with Dr. Rashmi Saraogi and Dr. Roopa Prasad. 05 Personalised, transparent care. Every couple gets a plan built around their diagnosis and age. We share clear cost guidance upfront. Above all, we set honest expectations rather than promises. 06 Accredited and recognised. The centre is ISO certified. The Times of India named it Best IVF Centre, and the Hindustan Times honoured it for healthcare excellence. It also holds a 4.7-star public rating. ## The future of Saraogi Hospital & IRIS IVF Centre Today the practice runs centres across Mumbai, in Malad, Ghatkopar and Thane. As a result, specialist care sits closer to where families live. The next chapter is bigger still. Soon, the team will move to a new premises about three times the current size. It will bring modern facilities the old building never had. According to the founder, this step became possible because of Dr. Mohit and Dr. Roopa Prasad. In other words, the decision came from the generation now leading the way. So the story comes full circle. One specialist saw a gap in 1980. Today, a multi-centre group carries the same promise forward: specialist care, given honestly. ## A letter from our founder ![Dr. Rajendra M. Saraogi](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODdhAQABAPAAAMPDwwAAACwAAAAAAQABAAACAkQBADs=)## Dr. Rajendra M. Saraogi MD, FCPS, FICOG, DGO To everyone who has walked through our doors, and to the colleagues who have trusted us with their patients: When I opened this hospital on 12 October 1980, I was a young gynaecologist. Honestly, I had little idea how far it would go. Back then, Malad had almost no specialist care for women. So my plan was simple. I wanted to open a proper nursing home and treat anyone who needed it, whether or not they could pay. In those early years, I lived with my parents on the premises. Whenever I could, I ran free camps. To me, that was simply how medicine should be practised. I never set out to build something large. Instead, the people who joined me changed everything. First, my wife, Dr. Rashmi Saraogi, came into the work and stayed for decades. Later, my son Dr. Mohit and my daughter-in-law Dr. Roopa Prasad brought a new generation of fertility medicine into the house. Slowly, a maternity home became a centre that helps more than a thousand families a year. I have been fortunate in my career. Yet the honour I value most carries no certificate. Quite simply, families have trusted us with the most important moment of their lives. Now, we are preparing to move into a far larger home. I can write that sentence only because the next generation is ready. The promise, however, stays the same as in 1980: honest, skilled, compassionate care for every woman and couple who comes to us.

She handles obstetrics and pregnancy care, gynaecology, and laparoscopic surgery. Over the years, she has also helped refine the hospital’s fertility and IVF techniques. Many of her patients return to her for their second and third pregnancies. Furthermore, a good number arrive through word-of-mouth referrals, which says a lot about the trust she has built. Working alongside the founder, and later their son Dr. Mohit Saraogi, she helped turn a single Malad maternity home into the fertility group it is now. ![Professional portrait of a smiling woman with short dark hair, wearing a white blouse and pearl necklace against a light background.](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDAwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEzMDAiIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCAxMDAwIDEzMDAiPjxyZWN0IHdpZHRoPSIxMDAlIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEwMCUiIHN0eWxlPSJmaWxsOiNjZmQ0ZGI7ZmlsbC1vcGFjaXR5OiAwLjE7Ii8+PC9zdmc+ "Dr Sushma Saraogiimg - Saraogi Hospital") ![Man with beard and glasses in black scrubs sitting on a red sofa in a clinic lobby/ waiting area.

Specifically, it offers IVF and ICSI, IMSI, blastocyst culture and transfer, laser-assisted hatching, PGT, and time-lapse embryo monitoring. In addition, it provides egg and embryo cryopreservation, ovarian tissue cryopreservation, IVM, NIPT, sequential embryo transfer, PRP ovarian rejuvenation, and AI-assisted embryo selection. More than forty years of experience sit behind every case. Patients also get a treatment plan built around their own diagnosis. Moreover, the team shares transparent [IVF cost guidance](https://saraogihospital.com/ivf-cost-in-mumbai/). Above all, it gives honest answers about [IVF success rates](https://saraogihospital.com/what-is-the-ivf-success-rate-in-mumbai/) rather than guarantees. ## Why Saraogi is a leading IVF hospital in Mumbai Many families choose Saraogi Hospital for a few clear reasons. 01 Four decades of proven experience. The hospital has cared for women since 1980. Each year, it supports over 1,000 pregnancies. As a result, few centres in Mumbai can match its track record. 02 A complete fertility ecosystem. IVF, ICSI, IMSI, IUI and frozen embryo transfer run alongside egg freezing and surrogacy guidance. Therefore, your care never has to leave the building. 03 An advanced in-house lab. PGT, time-lapse monitoring, laser-assisted hatching, IVM, cryopreservation and AI-assisted embryo selection are all available. Because of this, complex and previously failed cases get a real second chance. 04 A renowned team. Dr. Rajendra Saraogi founded the practice as a former Head of Department at Cooper Hospital. Today his son [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/) leads it, with Dr. Rashmi Saraogi and Dr. Roopa Prasad. 05 Personalised, transparent care. Every couple gets a plan built around their diagnosis and age. We share clear cost guidance upfront. Above all, we set honest expectations rather than promises. 06 Accredited and recognised. The centre is ISO certified. The Times of India named it Best IVF Centre, and the Hindustan Times honoured it for healthcare excellence. It also holds a 4.7-star public rating. ## The future of Saraogi Hospital & IRIS IVF Centre Today the practice runs centres across Mumbai, in Malad, Ghatkopar and Thane. As a result, specialist care sits closer to where families live. The next chapter is bigger still. Soon, the team will move to a new premises about three times the current size. It will bring modern facilities the old building never had. According to the founder, this step became possible because of Dr. Mohit and Dr. Roopa Prasad. In other words, the decision came from the generation now leading the way. So the story comes full circle. One specialist saw a gap in 1980. Today, a multi-centre group carries the same promise forward: specialist care, given honestly. ## A letter from our founder ![Dr. Rajendra M. Saraogi](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODdhAQABAPAAAMPDwwAAACwAAAAAAQABAAACAkQBADs=)## Dr. Rajendra M. Saraogi MD, FCPS, FICOG, DGO To everyone who has walked through our doors, and to the colleagues who have trusted us with their patients: When I opened this hospital on 12 October 1980, I was a young gynaecologist. Honestly, I had little idea how far it would go. Back then, Malad had almost no specialist care for women. So my plan was simple. I wanted to open a proper nursing home and treat anyone who needed it, whether or not they could pay. In those early years, I lived with my parents on the premises. Whenever I could, I ran free camps. To me, that was simply how medicine should be practised. I never set out to build something large. Instead, the people who joined me changed everything. First, my wife, Dr. Rashmi Saraogi, came into the work and stayed for decades. Later, my son Dr. Mohit and my daughter-in-law Dr. Roopa Prasad brought a new generation of fertility medicine into the house. Slowly, a maternity home became a centre that helps more than a thousand families a year. I have been fortunate in my career. Yet the honour I value most carries no certificate. Quite simply, families have trusted us with the most important moment of their lives. Now, we are preparing to move into a far larger home. I can write that sentence only because the next generation is ready. The promise, however, stays the same as in 1980: honest, skilled, compassionate care for every woman and couple who comes to us.

Let’s dive into the details of IVF, the latest advancements, and why Saraogi Hospital stands out as the preferred choice for fertility care in Mulund and beyond. ![What is IVF](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDAwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjY2NyIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDEwMDAgNjY3Ij48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojY2ZkNGRiO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg== "1 - Saraogi Hospital") ## What is IVF and New Advancements in IVF Procedure? IVF, or In Vitro Fertilization, is a complex and highly effective Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) that helps treat infertility. The IVF process involves stimulating the ovaries to produce multiple eggs, retrieving these eggs, and fertilizing them with sperm in a laboratory. Once fertilized, the embryos are transferred into the woman’s uterus, where they implant and grow.Wondering how the process has evolved? Let’s explore the latest advancements in IVF technology at Saraogi Hospital that enhance the success rates: ### ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection): A breakthrough for male infertility, ICSI involves injecting a single sperm directly into the egg. This technique has proven to increase the chances of fertilization, especially when sperm quality is an issue. ![icsi](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDAwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjgwNiIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDEwMDAgODA2Ij48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojY2ZkNGRiO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg== "2 - Saraogi Hospital") ### IMSI (Intracytoplasmic Morphologically Selected Sperm Injection): Using high magnification (6000x), IMSI helps embryologists select the highest quality sperm, leading to better embryo quality and higher success rates, particularly for those with repeated IVF failures​. ![imsi](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI1MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iMjY3IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNTAwIDI2NyI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "3 - Saraogi Hospital") ### Pre-Implantation Genetic Testing (PGT): Before transferring an embryo, PGT screens it for genetic abnormalities and chromosomal issues. This helps ensure only healthy embryos are selected, reducing miscarriage risk and improving the chances of a successful pregnancy, especially useful for couples with a history of [failed IVF cycle](https://saraogihospital.com/what-is-the-ivf-success-rate-in-mumbai/)s or genetic concerns. ![iui](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI4MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNDcyIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgODAwIDQ3MiI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "4 - Saraogi Hospital") ### Laser-Assisted Hatching: This advanced technique helps the embryo hatch from its outer shell, which is particularly useful in older women or after previous IVF failures. It enhances implantation rates by making it easier for the embryo to attach to the uterine lining. These advancements ensure that Saraogi Hospital’s IVF Centre in Mulund stays at the forefront of fertility treatment. ## Why choose Saraogi Hospital? ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2NjciIGhlaWdodD0iMzc2IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjY3IDM3NiI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "5 - Saraogi Hospital") Choosing the right fertility clinic is critical to your success in IVF treatment.

[Schedule an appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) Are you curious about how IVF works and the latest advancements that can boost your chances of success? Let’s find out. ## What is IVF, and what are the new advancements in IVF procedures? In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a form of assisted reproductive technology (ART) designed to help individuals and couples achieve pregnancy. The procedure begins with the retrieval of eggs from a woman’s ovaries, which are then fertilized with sperm in a controlled laboratory setting. After fertilization, the embryos are carefully monitored for several days, and subsequently, one or more embryos are transferred into the woman’s uterus in hopes of initiating a successful pregnancy. IVF is a game-changer for couples facing infertility due to factors like [blocked fallopian tubes](https://www.healthline.com/health/womens-health/blocked-fallopian-tubes), low sperm count, or unexplained fertility challenges. With the latest advancements, the success rates of IVF continue to rise, offering hope to millions of aspiring parents. ![What is IVF](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MTIiIGhlaWdodD0iNTAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjEyIDUwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "What is IVF - Saraogi Hospital") ## New advancements in IVF procedures: ### Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI): [ICSI](https://saraogihospital.com/icsi-treatment-in-mumbai/), or Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection, is a specialized procedure in which a single sperm is directly injected into an egg to facilitate fertilization. It is beneficial in cases of severe male infertility, ensuring higher fertilization success. ![icsi](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MTIiIGhlaWdodD0iNDA4IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjEyIDQwOCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "icsi - Saraogi Hospital") ### Intracytoplasmic morphologically selected sperm injection (IMSI): [IMSI](https://saraogihospital.com/imsi-treatment-in-mumbai/) uses high magnification to select the healthiest sperm based on their detailed appearance before injecting them into the egg. It enhances embryo quality, reducing miscarriage risk and improving pregnancy outcomes. ![imsi](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MTIiIGhlaWdodD0iNDA4IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjEyIDQwOCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "imsi - Saraogi Hospital") ### Intrauterine insemination (IUI): [IUI ](https://saraogihospital.com/iui-treatment-in-mumbai/)involves placing sperm directly into the uterus during ovulation, bringing it closer to the egg. It is less invasive than IVF and is often used for mild male infertility or unexplained infertility. ![iui](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MTIiIGhlaWdodD0iNjEyIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjEyIDYxMiI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "iui - Saraogi Hospital") ### Frozen embryo transfer (FET): [FET](https://saraogihospital.com/frozen-embryo-transfer-treatment-in-mumbai/) involves transferring previously frozen embryos into the uterus. It offers a second chance at pregnancy without repeating the full IVF cycle, with high success rates due to advances in [cryopreservation](https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/treatments/15464-embryo-freezing-cryopreservation). ### Donor sperm insemination: Used when male infertility is significant or in single women. [Donor sperm](https://saraogihospital.com/donor-sperm-procedure-in-mumbai/) insemination involves using screened donor sperm for IUI or IVF, enabling conception where natural sperm isn’t viable. ### Preimplantation genetic testing (PGT): PGT screens embryos for genetic diseases or chromosomal abnormalities before transfer. It improves success rates by ensuring only healthy embryos are implanted, reducing the risk of miscarriage. ### Minimal stimulation IVF: Mini IVF uses lower doses of fertility drugs to stimulate egg production, focusing on quality rather than quantity. It is less invasive, ideal for women sensitive to hormones, and provides a more natural approach to IVF.

[Schedule an appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) As medical science evolves, the field of reproductive technology has seen incredible breakthroughs. ## IVF and New Advancements in IVF Procedures IVF is commonly used for various[ ](https://saraogihospital.com/infertility-treatment-mumbai/)[fertility issues](https://saraogihospital.com/infertility-treatment-mumbai/), including blocked fallopian tubes, ovulation disorders, male infertility, or unexplained infertility. Dr. Mohit Saraogi, an accomplished [IVF Doctor in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/), explains: “IVF involves retrieving eggs from the ovaries and fertilizing them with sperm in a laboratory. Once the embryos develop, one or more are transferred to the uterus to initiate pregnancy. IVF offers a high chance of success, particularly when combined with advanced fertility techniques.” Some of the latest advancements in IVF procedures include: ![What is IVF](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MTIiIGhlaWdodD0iNTAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjEyIDUwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "IVF and New Advancements in IVF Procedures - Saraogi Hospital") ### Time-Lapse Imaging: This technology allows embryologists to monitor embryo development closely, increasing the chances of selecting the healthiest embryos for transfer. ### Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT): PGT enables screening for genetic abnormalities in embryos, ensuring only healthy ones are selected, which enhances the success rate. ![Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT)](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MTIiIGhlaWdodD0iNDA4IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjEyIDQwOCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) - Saraogi Hospital") ### Cryopreservation of Eggs and Embryos: With advancements in freezing techniques, eggs and embryos can be stored more efficiently, providing more flexibility in treatment timelines. ### Ovarian Tissue Cryopreservation This technique involves freezing ovarian tissue for future use, offering hope for women facing fertility loss due to medical treatments like chemotherapy. It preserves fertility by allowing ovarian tissue to be re-implanted when the patient is ready to conceive. ### Assisted Hatching: This technique helps the embryo implant more effectively in the uterus by making a small opening in the embryo’s outer layer. ### IVM (In Vitro Maturation): In cases where traditional IVF may not be suitable,[ ](https://www.reproductivefacts.org/news-and-publications/fact-sheets-and-infographics/what-is-in-vitro-maturation-ivm/)[IVM](https://www.reproductivefacts.org/news-and-publications/fact-sheets-and-infographics/what-is-in-vitro-maturation-ivm/) allows immature eggs to be harvested and matured in the lab, offering an alternative option. ### ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) [ICSI](https://saraogihospital.com/icsi-treatment-in-mumbai/) is a highly precise technique where a single sperm is directly injected into an egg to facilitate fertilization. It is beneficial in cases of male infertility and has enhanced success rates for IVF treatments. ![ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection)](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MTIiIGhlaWdodD0iNDA4IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjEyIDQwOCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) - Saraogi Hospital") ### IMSI (Intracytoplasmic morphologically selected sperm injection) [IMSI](https://saraogihospital.com/imsi-treatment-in-mumbai/) is an improved version of ICSI which employs a microscope to evaluate sperm under extreme magnification to choose the best sperm. ### NIPT (Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing) NIPT is a method for detecting genetic abnormalities in embryos without invasive procedures. Analyzing a sample of the mother’s blood helps identify chromosomal disorders early in the pregnancy, ensuring healthier outcomes. ### Ovarian Rejuvenation Techniques For women with diminished ovarian function, ovarian rejuvenation techniques, such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, can help revive ovarian activity, increasing the chances of retrieving viable eggs for IVF. ### Sequential Embryo Transfer This method involves transferring embryos at different stages of development, improving the likelihood of successful implantation and pregnancy. It provides flexibility in treatment and often increases pregnancy rates. ### MRT (Mitochondrial Replacement Therapy) [MRT](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitochondrial_replacement_therapy) is a revolutionary technique to prevent mitochondrial diseases by replacing damaged mitochondria in the mother’s egg with healthy ones from a donor. It allows women with certain genetic conditions to have healthy children. ### Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning AI and machine learning are now being applied in embryo selection, helping to analyze vast data sets to predict the best embryos for transfer. This technology enhances decision-making and optimizes IVF outcomes. ### Stem-Cell Therapy Stem-cell therapy can potentially treat infertility by regenerating ovarian tissue or even developing new eggs. Though still in experimental stages, this technique holds great promise for future fertility treatments. Trying to conceive but not sure where to begin?

An IVF cycle typically takes around 4 to 6 weeks from the start of medication to the embryo transfer. The exact timeline can vary depending on individual responses to treatment and the IVF protocol used. ##### Are there any risks associated with IVF? While IVF is generally safe, there are some risks, such as ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) or multiple pregnancies. Your IVF doctor will monitor you closely to minimize these risks and ensure a safe treatment process. ##### Can IVF help with male infertility? Yes, IVF can assist in cases of male infertility, especially when combined with techniques like Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI), where a single sperm is injected directly into an egg to aid fertilization ##### Is IVF painful? IVF involves some discomfort, particularly during egg retrieval, but it is generally well-tolerated. Any pain or discomfort is usually temporary, and your doctor will take steps to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. ##### How successful is IVF on the first attempt? Success rates for IVF vary depending on factors like age, underlying fertility issues, and the quality of the embryos. On average, the success rate for women under 35 is around 40% to 50%. Your doctor will discuss your chances based on your specific situation. --- ### [Contact Us](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) **Published:** July 3, 2024 **Author:** Dr. Mohit Saraogi **Content:** # Contact Us Name Phone Number Email Address Message Submit ## SARAOGI HOSPITAL Saraogi is one of the finest clinics for IVF in Mumbai.

She had already spent close to a year and a half trying to conceive through 12 to 15 cycles of natural intercourse combined with follicular monitoring, without success. Her AMH had been recorded at 0.03 at the age of 29 — a strikingly low figure that placed her in premature ovarian failure. Over the following year, she went through eight egg retrievals across two clinics and three failed embryo transfers before a treatment combining ovarian PRP, repeat hysteroscopy, and a stimulation approach built around ovarian pooling led to her first positive pregnancy, with a healthy foetal heartbeat confirmed two weeks later. ![Treatment journey timeline: seven steps from Presentation to Beta hCG, showing cycle results and outcomes color-coded (transfer failed, best yield yet, pregnancy confirmed).](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxOTk5IiBoZWlnaHQ9IjcwMyIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDE5OTkgNzAzIj48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojY2ZkNGRiO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg== "image2 - Saraogi Hospital") ## PATIENT PROFILE Age31 years (wife), 32 years (husband)GenderFemalePresenting ComplaintPrimary ovarian insufficiency, irregular periods with mild flow, prior fertility treatment failuresDiagnosisPrimary ovarian insufficiency (AMH 0.03), cervical stenosis, raised HbA1c, Rh-negative blood groupDate of ProcedureDecember 2024 to ongoing pregnancyOutcomePositive pregnancy with confirmed foetal heartbeat at two weeks post-positive beta hCG ## THE PROBLEM By the time she came to Saraogi Hospital in December 2024, this patient had already spent 12 to 15 cycles attempting natural conception with follicular monitoring, without a pregnancy. Her periods were irregular and mild in flow, and her[ AMH](https://saraogihospital.com/what-should-amh-be-to-start-ivf/), tested at age 29, had come back at just 0.03 a level consistent with premature ovarian failure rather than typical age-related decline. Her HbA1c was also found to be raised, and her blood group was noted as Rh-negative, both relevant factors in planning her care. On evaluation, her husband’s semen sample was found to be normal. A scan showed only 2 to 3 antral follicles on either side, confirming a severely reduced ovarian reserve. Given how limited her egg supply already appeared to be, the case called for a direct and carefully paced approach rather than further natural attempts. ## CONSULTATION AND TREATMENT PLAN ### WHAT WAS ASSESSED DURING THE CONSULTATION - Antral follicle count of 2 to 3 on either ovary, confirming a very low ovarian reserve - AMH of 0.03 at age 29, indicating premature ovarian failure - Raised HbA1c, noted as part of the overall metabolic assessment - Rh-negative blood group, relevant to future pregnancy management - Husband’s semen analysis, found to be within normal limits ### WHY THIS TREATMENT APPROACH WAS CHOSEN Given the critically low antral follicle count and AMH, IVF was recommended as the direct path forward rather than continuing further natural attempts. Because her ovarian reserve was already so limited, every retrieval cycle needed to be approached carefully, with close attention to oocyte maturity and embryo quality rather than oocyte number alone. When a tight, stenosed cervix was discovered while preparing her for her first transfer, hysteroscopy, a metroplasty, and cervical shaving (without electrocautery at that stage) were carried out to make future transfers more manageable. After repeated cycle failures, ovarian PRP was recommended to attempt to improve both the quality and quantity of her oocytes, alongside a stimulation protocol built around ovarian pooling. ## PROCEDURE ILLUSTRATION The patient underwent multiple IVF cycles across two clinics before returning to Saraogi Hospital for ovarian PRP, a repeat hysteroscopy with cervical shaving, and a final stimulation cycle designed around ovarian pooling. The illustration below outlines how ovarian PRP works: a blood sample is drawn, processed to separate platelet-rich plasma, and instilled into the ovarian stroma to support follicular response in a subsequent cycle. ![Educational diagram showing PRP preparation and ovarian injection process: blood draw, PRP, ovarian injection, and follicular response stages.](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxNzg1IiBoZWlnaHQ9IjczNSIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDE3ODUgNzM1Ij48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojY2ZkNGRiO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg== "image1 - Saraogi Hospital") ## PROCEDURE DETAILS - First stimulation cycle at Saraogi Hospital: 4 oocytes retrieved, most of which arrested and were immature; one Grade B embryo was formed - Cervix found to be tight while preparing for transfer; hysteroscopy, metroplasty, and cervical shaving performed (without electrocautery at that stage); an intrauterine Foley catheter was placed before lining preparation - First embryo transfer technically difficult due to cervical stenosis; the cycle failed - Second stimulation cycle: 4 oocytes retrieved, forming one Grade A embryo; patient maintained on antioxidants and fertility-friendly lifestyle modifications throughout; transfer performed and failed - Patient took a break and travelled to her hometown of Nanded, where she underwent five further egg retrievals; four cycles produced no viable embryos, and the fifth produced one embryo that was transferred and failed - On return to Saraogi Hospital, ovarian PRP (ovarian rejuvenation) was performed, instilling platelet-rich plasma into the ovarian stroma to support oocyte quality and quantity - A repeat[ hysteroscopy](https://saraogihospital.com/what-is-hysteroscopy/) with cervical shaving was carried out alongside the PRP procedure - Stimulation was planned around the concept of ovarian pooling; this cycle produced the patient’s best-ever yield of 7 oocytes, from which 4 embryos were formed - Embryo transfer performed; beta hCG returned positive for the first time in this patient’s fertility journey - A healthy foetal heartbeat was confirmed two weeks after the positive beta hCG ## PROCEDURE FACTS Procedure Ovarian PRP with Repeat Hysteroscopy, Cervical Shaving, and IVF with Ovarian Pooling Embryos Generated (Final Cycle) 4 embryos from 7 oocytes, the patient’s best yield across her fertility journey Cervical Finding Cervical stenosis identified during the first cycle; managed with hysteroscopy, metroplasty, and cervical shaving Total Egg Retrievals 8 across both clinics (2 at Saraogi Hospital, 5 in Nanded, 1 following ovarian PRP) Current Status Positive beta hCG with confirmed foetal heartbeat at two weeks ## OUTCOMES AT A GLANCE Conception Achieved following ovarian PRP, repeat hysteroscopy, cervical shaving, and a stimulation cycle built around ovarian pooling Oocyte Yield Best-ever retrieval of 7 oocytes, compared to 4 or fewer in every prior cycle Embryo Yield 4 embryos formed, more than any single previous cycle Cervical Factor Corrected through hysteroscopy and cervical shaving, addressing a barrier that had complicated earlier transfers Current Pregnancy Status Positive beta hCG with confirmed foetal heartbeat at two weeks ## CURRENT STATUS AND ONGOING CARE The pregnancy is currently in its early stages, with a positive beta hCG and a confirmed foetal heartbeat at two weeks post-positive result.

MOHIT SARAOGI FOR OVARIAN PRP AND COMPLEX FERTILITY CASES [Dr. Mohit R. Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/) has treated patients with primary ovarian insufficiency, extremely low ovarian reserve, and repeated IVF failure at Saraogi Hospital and IRIS IVF Centre. Cases like this one, where a critically low AMH, a cervical factor, and a long run of[ failed embryo transfer](https://saraogihospital.com/failed-embryo-transfer-what-are-the-next-steps/) cycles across two clinics all needed to be addressed together, are managed with a willingness to revisit the treatment plan rather than repeat the same protocol indefinitely. Ovarian PRP, combined with correcting the cervical stenosis that had complicated earlier transfers, is one part of that broader approach to patients who have already been through a difficult and disheartening fertility journey elsewhere. For patients with a very low AMH or a history of poor response to stimulation, a fresh evaluation can sometimes uncover factors, cervical, uterine, or otherwise, that earlier cycles may have missed. If you have a diagnosis of primary ovarian insufficiency, a very low AMH, or a history of poor response to IVF stimulation, Dr. Mohit R.

The resulting embryos are then transferred to the uterus to achieve pregnancy. This technique offers a highly effective solution for couples facing infertility due to various reasons. ![ivf process](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDUiIGhlaWdodD0iNjEyIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjA1IDYxMiI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "ivf - Saraogi Hospital") ### [**ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection)**](https://saraogihospital.com/icsi-treatment-in-mumbai/) ICSI involves injecting a single sperm directly into an egg to facilitate fertilization. It is particularly beneficial for male factor infertility issues or previous IVF failures. ![icsi](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MTIiIGhlaWdodD0iNDAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjEyIDQwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "icsi - Saraogi Hospital") ### [**IMSI (Intracytoplasmic Morphologically Selected Sperm Injection)**](https://saraogihospital.com/imsi-treatment-in-mumbai/) IMSI is an advanced form of ICSI. It involves sperm selection under high magnification to ensure the best quality sperm is used for fertilization, improving success rates. ### [**FET (Frozen Embryo Transfer)**](https://saraogihospital.com/frozen-embryo-transfer-treatment-in-mumbai/) In FET, embryos frozen from a previous IVF cycle are thawed and transferred into the uterus during a natural or medicated cycle, offering flexibility and improved success rates. ![fet](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI0ODgiIGhlaWdodD0iMzI1IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNDg4IDMyNSI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "fet - Saraogi Hospital") ### [**Donor Egg:**](https://saraogihospital.com/egg-donor-treatment-in-mumbai/) For patients unable to produce viable eggs, donor eggs from screened donors are used in the IVF process, providing a viable option to achieve pregnancy. ![Donor Egg](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI1NTQiIGhlaWdodD0iMzMyIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNTU0IDMzMiI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Donor Egg - Saraogi Hospital") ### [**Donor Sperm:**](https://saraogihospital.com/donor-sperm-procedure-in-mumbai/) Donor sperm is used when male partners have severe sperm-related issues or in cases of single women or same-sex couples seeking to conceive, ensuring fertility treatment is accessible to all.

If you’ve been searching for a gynecologist near me or a gynae near me in Mumbai, her clinics handle both routine visits and complex cases under one roof. Her monthly practice includes 25 to 30 deliveries, a fifth to a quarter of them high-risk, alongside an active fertility caseload at IRIS. **Hospital affiliation:** Saraogi Hospital IRIS IVF Centre Cloudnine Hospital (Visiting Consultant) [Book appoinment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) [Call Now](tel:+9181697%2017250) [WhatsApp](https://wa.me/918169717250) ![Smiling woman in a blue circular-patterned kurti standing behind a white counter in an office setting, hands folded on the counter.](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDY2IiBoZWlnaHQ9IjE2MDAiIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCAxMDY2IDE2MDAiPjxyZWN0IHdpZHRoPSIxMDAlIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEwMCUiIHN0eWxlPSJmaWxsOiNjZmQ0ZGI7ZmlsbC1vcGFjaXR5OiAwLjE7Ii8+PC9zdmc+ "roopa - Saraogi Hospital") **Dr. Roopa Prasad, Consultant Obstetrician & Gynecologist, Saraogi Hospital** ## About Saraogi Hospital ![Hospital reception area with a white angled front desk, two brown chairs behind it, and a wall sign reading 'Sar aogi Hospital & iris IVF centre'; orange plant on the left.](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMjgwIiBoZWlnaHQ9Ijk2MCIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDEyODAgOTYwIj48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojY2ZkNGRiO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg== "WhatsApp Image 2026-06-10 at 23419 PM - Saraogi Hospital") Saraogi Hospital has built its reputation in Mumbai around women’s healthcare specifically: maternity, gynecology, and fertility, rather than treating these as one department among many. That focus shows up in practical ways: the hospital’s operation theatres are set up for both routine gynecological procedures and complex deliveries, and its [laparoscopic surgery](https://saraogihospital.com/laparoscopic-surgery-mumbai/) capability means many conditions that once required open surgery can now be treated with smaller incisions and shorter recovery times. The hospital also houses IRIS IVF Centre, which gives it something most general hospitals don’t have: an in-house fertility program that connects directly to its obstetric and gynecological teams. For a patient, that usually means less back-and-forth between clinics and a treatment history that stays in one place. ![Hospital reception area with a white angled front desk, two brown chairs behind it, and a wall sign reading 'Sar aogi Hospital & iris IVF centre'; orange plant on the left.](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMjgwIiBoZWlnaHQ9Ijk2MCIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDEyODAgOTYwIj48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojY2ZkNGRiO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg== "WhatsApp Image 2026-06-10 at 23419 PM - Saraogi Hospital") Patients tend to trust Saraogi Hospital for a fairly simple reason: it’s been doing this specific kind of care, consistently, for long enough that its systems (nursing staff experienced in maternity and post-op care, diagnostic support on-site) are built around women’s health rather than adapted for it. For patients searching for a gynecologist hospital near me, or simply typing “near me gynaecologist” into Google, that consistency is usually what they’re actually looking for. ## Meet Dr. Roopa Prasad ![Dr. Roopa, consultant obstetrician and gynecologist, seated at a desk in a white coat in a hospital reception area.](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxNjcyIiBoZWlnaHQ9Ijk0MSIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDE2NzIgOTQxIj48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojY2ZkNGRiO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg== "ChatGPT Image Jul 22 2026 at 10_34_27 AM - Saraogi Hospital") Dr. Prasad trained at Seth GS Medical College & KEM Hospital, one of Mumbai’s older teaching institutions, where she topped her class in both MBBS and her MS in Obstetrics & Gynecology, earning the D’Sa Memorial Award and the Late Durga Ramdas Sadhale Memorial Award respectively. She went on to complete her DNB and MNAMS. Her research record includes four papers published in national journals, along with five national paper presentation awards. She’s a member of MOGS, FOGSI, and AFG, and holds MNAMS fellowship, memberships that keep her practice tied to current national guidelines rather than outdated protocols. She tends to explain her reasoning before she recommends anything. Not every doctor does this, but patients who understand why a scan or medication is being suggested usually make decisions with more confidence, especially in [fertility care](https://saraogihospital.com/infertility-treatment-mumbai/), or when a pregnancy has suddenly turned complicated. Outside the clinic, she’s worked since 2013 as an honorary trainer with CEHAT, teaching healthcare professionals across India how to respond to survivors of sexual violence. ## Women's Health Conditions Treated ### PCOS A hormonal condition linked to irregular periods, acne, and sometimes difficulty conceiving. Diagnosis usually involves blood tests and a pelvic ultrasound. Read more on [PCOS affects fertility](https://saraogihospital.com/blogs/how-does-pcos-affect-your-fertility/) ### Irregular periods Cycles that vary unpredictably, often connected to PCOS or thyroid function, and worth investigating if the pattern holds for more than a few months. ### Heavy menstrual bleeding Soaking through protection within an hour, or bleeding beyond seven days, points to something worth checking rather than managing quietly. ### Painful periods Cramping severe enough to interfere with daily activity can sometimes indicate [endometriosis](https://saraogihospital.com/endometriosis-treatment-in-mumbai/) or fibroids underneath. ### Fibroids Non-cancerous uterine growths that may cause heavy bleeding or pelvic pressure, depending on size and location. Patients searching for a uterus specialist for suspected fibroids are typically evaluated with an ultrasound before any treatment decision is made, and treated through [laparoscopic fibroid surgery](https://saraogihospital.com/laparoscopic-fibroid-surgery-in-mumbai/) where appropriate. ### Endometriosis Tissue resembling the uterine lining growing outside the uterus, typically causing pelvic pain and painful periods. See our dedicated page on endometriosis treatment ### Ovarian cysts Frequently symptom-free and found incidentally on scans, though sudden severe pain needs urgent evaluation. ### Pelvic pain Pain that persists beyond a few days or recurs with each cycle deserves a proper look rather than repeated painkillers. ### Infertility Generally assessed after 12 months of trying without success, or 6 months if the patient is over 35. Learn more about infertility treatment. ### High-risk pregnancy Covers factors like maternal age, prior complications, or conditions such as preeclampsia and gestational diabetes. Managed through our [obstetrician services](https://saraogihospital.com/obstetrician-in-mumbai/). ### Menopause Hot flashes, sleep disruption, and mood changes that can be managed rather than simply endured, through our [menopause clinic](https://saraogihospital.com/menopause-clinic-mumbai/). ### Hormonal disorders Thyroid and other hormonal imbalances often surface first as changes in the menstrual cycle. ## Women's Health Services Routine gynecological check-ups Pregnancy care, from confirmation through delivery Antenatal care and monitoring Family planning doctor consultations Contraception counselling Preventive screenings Menopause care Adolescent gynecology Cancer screening ## Advanced Procedures  ### Pap smear A screening test for cervical changes, recommended at regular intervals depending on age and history.  ### Colposcopy A closer examination of the cervix, usually done as a follow-up to an abnormal Pap result. [](https://saraogihospital.com/laparoscopic-surgery-mumbai/) ### [Laparoscopy](https://saraogihospital.com/laparoscopic-surgery-mumbai/) Minimally invasive surgery for conditions like endometriosis, fibroids, or ovarian cysts, generally allowing quicker recovery than open surgery. [](https://saraogihospital.com/what-is-hysteroscopy/) ### [Hysteroscopy](https://saraogihospital.com/what-is-hysteroscopy/) A camera-based procedure to examine and treat the inside of the uterus, often used for abnormal bleeding.

Once pregnant, regular antenatal visits track growth and screen for complications, with high-risk pregnancies monitored more closely for conditions like preeclampsia or gestational diabetes. Patients looking for a pregnancy doctor near me, or a maternity doctor who can manage both routine and complicated cases, are generally looked after by the same obstetric team from the first visit through delivery. On the fertility side, IRIS IVF Centre handles the full pathway: evaluation of both partners, [IUI](https://saraogihospital.com/iui-treatment-in-mumbai/) as an initial option where suitable, and [IVF](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-hospital-in-mumbai/) with embryo transfer for more complex cases. Fertility counselling runs alongside treatment, aimed at giving patients realistic expectations rather than general reassurance. Postpartum, care shifts toward physical recovery and support for early newborn feeding. ## Technology & Facilities ![Sonographer performing a 4D ultrasound on a pregnant woman, with the fetus image visible on the monitor and the clinician pointing at it.](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDY1IiBoZWlnaHQ9IjkwNiIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDEwNjUgOTA2Ij48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojY2ZkNGRiO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg== "1 - Saraogi Hospital") Advanced ultrasound imaging ![Modern private hospital room with a reclining maternity bed in pink and white, Saraogi Hospitals logo on the wood-paneled wall, and a seating area with plants.](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMTIwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjkyNSIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDExMjAgOTI1Ij48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojY2ZkNGRiO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg== "5 - Saraogi Hospital") Modern operation theatres ![Two surgeons in blue scrubs and masks perform laparoscopic surgery under bright overhead lights, monitor showing the internal view.](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMTMwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjkzNCIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDExMzAgOTM0Ij48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojY2ZkNGRiO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg== "3 - Saraogi Hospital") Laparoscopic surgery equipment ![Lab technician in blue scrubs, mask, and cap using a microscope in an embryology lab."

Most women should have their first visit between ages 13 and 15, then annually as adults. Visit sooner for irregular periods, pelvic pain, unusual discharge, or a suspected pregnancy. Waiting rarely makes these easier to treat, and early evaluation typically leads to simpler management overall. ##### What conditions does Dr. Roopa Prasad treat at Saraogi Hospital? She treats PCOS, endometriosis, fibroids, ovarian cysts, irregular and heavy periods, infertility, and high-risk pregnancy, along with routine gynecological care and menopause management. Her combined training in obstetrics and gynecology allows continuous care across different life stages at one hospital. ##### Does Saraogi Hospital offer fertility treatment? Yes. IRIS IVF Centre operates within Saraogi Hospital, offering fertility evaluation, IUI, IVF, and embryo transfer under Dr. Prasad’s direction as Co-Director. This connects fertility treatment directly to the hospital’s obstetric and gynecological departments rather than requiring a separate clinic. ##### What happens during my first consultation? The first visit generally covers your medical and menstrual history, current concerns, and relevant lifestyle details, sometimes followed by an examination or initial tests. Bringing prior medical records helps avoid repeating tests and speeds up the evaluation. ##### How do I book an appointment with Dr. Roopa Prasad? Appointments can be booked online, by phone, or through WhatsApp, whether you’re booking in advance or searching for a gynecologist appointment near me on short notice. For urgent concerns, calling directly is generally faster. Consultations are available at Saraogi Hospital and IRIS IVF Centre, so mention your preferred location when booking. ## Schedule Your Consultation Today Meet Dr. Roopa Prasad for compassionate, personalized women’s healthcare. **Available: Mon – Sat | 10:00 AM – 7:00 PM** [Book Appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) [Call Now](tel:+91816972017250) --- ### [Successful Twin Pregnancy After Recurrent IVF Failure with Donor Egg IVF](https://saraogihospital.com/twin-pregnancy-after-recurrent-ivf-failure/) **Published:** August 2, 2026 **Author:** Dr. Mohit Saraogi **Content:** # Successful Twin Pregnancy After Recurrent IVF Failure with Donor Egg IVF This is a case of twin pregnancy after recurrent IVF failure, involving a 34-year-old woman and her 35-year-old husband who came to Saraogi Hospital in October 2025 following three unsuccessful IVF cycles elsewhere. Twice, her egg retrieval had ended in empty follicle syndrome, where follicles appeared healthy on scan but no eggs were retrieved. A donor egg transfer at another clinic had also failed. [Dr. Mohit R. Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/) identified a raised sperm DNA fragmentation index in the husband and, later, a uterine septum in the wife. Following testicular sperm extraction, a donor egg IVF cycle, and hysteroscopic septum correction, the couple conceived twins. The pregnancy was carried to 34 weeks despite hypertensive complications, and both babies were delivered safely. ![Fertility treatment timeline showing seven steps from Presentation to Delivery with date labels and outcome markers (some steps blue, one red for failure, final step green for success).](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxODg5IiBoZWlnaHQ9IjczNyIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDE4ODkgNzM3Ij48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojY2ZkNGRiO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg== "timeline_image - Saraogi Hospital") ## PATIENT PROFILE AGE34 years (wife), 35 years (husband)GENDERFemalePRESENTING COMPLAINTRecurrent IVF failure, twice-repeated empty follicle syndrome, one failed donor egg transfer elsewhereDIAGNOSISEmpty follicle syndrome (recurrent), raised sperm DNA fragmentation index, uterine septumDATE OF PROCEDUREOctober 2025 to deliveryOUTCOMEHealthy twin delivery at 34 weeks ## THE PROBLEM: RECURRENT IVF FAILURE AND EMPTY FOLLICLE SYNDROME By the time this couple reached [Saraogi Hospital](https://saraogihospital.com/) in October 2025, they had already completed three IVF cycles elsewhere. The first attempt ended before egg collection could yield any result: after fifteen days of stimulation, with follicles appearing to grow normally on scan, the pickup retrieved no oocytes at all. This outcome, known as empty follicle syndrome, is uncommon and can be difficult to explain even after detailed review. A second cycle followed, with a modified stimulation protocol. Three oocytes were retrieved from multiple follicles, and one embryo was formed. The resulting transfer failed. A third pickup was then attempted, and empty follicle syndrome recurred. The couple was counselled toward donor eggs and underwent one donor egg transfer at another centre, which also failed. Three failed egg pickups, one failed embryo transfer, and one failed donor cycle later, the couple sought further evaluation at Saraogi Hospital. ## CONSULTATION AND TREATMENT PLAN ### WHAT WAS ASSESSED DURING THE CONSULTATION Dr. Mohit R. Saraogi conducted a fresh evaluation rather than repeating the prior protocol. The husband’s semen analysis was largely normal, though motility was mildly reduced, with normal sperm forms at 3%, against an expected 4%. Sperm DNA fragmentation testing (DFI) returned a mildly elevated result. The full history of the three prior IVF cycles and the failed donor transfer was reviewed in detail, and the recurrence of empty follicle syndrome was identified as a central factor guiding the treatment plan. ### WHY THIS TREATMENT APPROACH WAS CHOSEN Given two documented episodes of empty follicle syndrome, [donor egg IVF](https://saraogihospital.com/egg-donor-treatment-in-mumbai/) was recommended over a further self-egg cycle. Because the sperm DNA fragmentation index was raised, testicular sperm extraction (TESA) was advised, as sperm retrieved directly from testicular tissue typically shows lower DNA fragmentation than ejaculated sperm. A donor egg IVF cycle combined with TESA-derived sperm was planned to address both the oocyte-related and sperm-related factors identified during evaluation. When the first donor egg transfer failed despite a favourable endometrial lining, hysteroscopy was added to the plan to rule out an undetected uterine cause. ## PROCEDURE ILLUSTRATION The patient underwent testicular sperm extraction combined with a donor egg IVF cycle, followed by hysteroscopic correction of a uterine septum before the second [frozen embryo transfer](https://saraogihospital.com/frozen-embryo-transfer-treatment-in-mumbai/). The illustration below outlines the standard IVF workflow followed in this case, from egg retrieval and fertilisation through to embryo development and transfer, adapted here to use donor oocytes and surgically retrieved sperm. ![Educational IVF diagram showing stages: egg retrieval, fertilisation, embryo development, and embryo transfer to the uterus on pink background.](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxNzg1IiBoZWlnaHQ9IjczNSIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDE3ODUgNzM1Ij48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojY2ZkNGRiO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg== "ivf_diagram_image - Saraogi Hospital") ## PROCEDURE DETAILS - Testicular sperm extraction performed due to the raised sperm DNA fragmentation index - Donor egg IVF cycle carried out using the TESA-derived sperm sample, fertilised via [ICSI](https://saraogihospital.com/icsi-treatment-in-mumbai/), as required for surgically retrieved sperm - Fertilisation resulted in six Grade A, day-5 blastocysts (4 plus 2) - First embryo transfer performed with a satisfactory endometrial lining; the cycle was unsuccessful - [Hysteroscopy](https://saraogihospital.com/what-is-hysteroscopy/) performed to investigate the failed transfer, revealing a small uterine septum, which was resected - One-month recovery period observed before the next transfer - Second frozen embryo transfer performed with two blastocysts; the patient conceived with twins - Blood pressure began rising around 12 weeks of pregnancy, requiring full-dose antihypertensive management - Cervical cerclage placed as part of high-risk pregnancy management - Hospital admission at 24 weeks for blood in vomitus, and again at 32 weeks for uncontrolled blood pressure with associated headache - Pregnancy conserved to 34 weeks despite these complications - Delivery carried out via elective caesarean section on full-dose antihypertensive medication - Both twins were born well, with a brief precautionary NICU stay before discharge ## PROCEDURE FACTS **PROCEDURE**TESA with Donor Egg IVF, Hysteroscopic Septum Resection, Frozen Embryo Transfer**EMBRYOS GENERATED**6 Grade A day-5 blastocysts (4 + 2), preserved through embryo freezing before transfer**UTERINE FINDING**Small uterine septum, resected via hysteroscopy before the second transfer**GESTATION AT DELIVERY**34 weeks**BABY OUTCOME**Healthy twins, brief NICU stay, both discharged well ## OUTCOMES AT A GLANCE ConceptionAchieved on the second frozen embryo transfer, after septum resectionPregnancy ContinuationCarried to 34 weeks despite hypertensive complicationsBaby OutcomeHealthy twins, brief NICU admission, both discharged wellMaternal OutcomeBlood pressure managed with full-dose antihypertensives and cervical cerclage; stable at dischargeComplicationsHypertension from 12 weeks, two antenatal admissions (24 and 32 weeks) ## PATIENT FEEDBACK Feedback recorded after the twin delivery at Saraogi Hospital, Mumbai.

Cervical cerclage was maintained and monitored through the second and third trimesters. The patient was closely observed for hypertension-related symptoms, with repeat admissions when required. Regular growth scans and foetal well-being assessments were carried out through a twin, high-risk pregnancy. Elective caesarean delivery was planned once 34 weeks was reached, balancing maternal blood pressure control against continued conservation of the pregnancy. Both twins were observed briefly in the NICU before discharge alongside the mother. ## RECOVERY TIMELINE Weeks 1–4 after TransferPregnancy confirmed following the second frozen embryo transfer with twins.Week 12Blood pressure began rising; full-dose antihypertensive treatment started.Week 24Hospital admission following blood in vomitus.Week 32Second admission for uncontrolled blood pressure with headache.Week 34Elective caesarean delivery; healthy twins born, briefly admitted to NICU.

As a result, women who needed a gynaecologist often got general advice instead. So on 12 October 1980, he acted. He opened his own nursing home and called it Saraogi Maternity and General Hospital. In fact, records suggest he was among the first gynaecologists in Malad to start a dedicated maternity home. Above all, he did it to serve a growing community, not to run a business. He was well prepared, too. By 1980, he had already taught for five years in municipal medical colleges. Because of that, he felt ready to handle almost any case himself. And he did. ## Dr. Rajendra M. Saraogi, founder of Saraogi Hospital ### Credentials and current roles Dr. R. M. Saraogi holds an MD, FCPS, FICOG and DGO, with more than 40 years of experience. He is an Emeritus Professor and former Head of Obstetrics & Gynaecology at Dr. R. N. Cooper Hospital and Seth G.S. Medical College, Mumbai. Today he serves as Director of the Saraogi Group of Hospitals. In addition, he is a Senior Consultant at Nanavati Max Super Speciality Hospital. ### A lifelong teacher and researcher The letters after his name tell only part of the story. To begin with, he won ten gold medals across his MBBS and postgraduate years. For more than four decades, he has taught and mentored students across India. Moreover, he has run twenty-five live surgical workshops nationwide. In total, he has presented over 300 papers and published more than 100. ### Awards and milestones - FOGSI Best Book Award (2005) for his book on HIV in pregnancy - FOGSI Corion Award (2006-07) for developing Meshplasty - MOGS Quiet Valor Award (2025), plus other MOGS and FOGSI honours - Lifetime Achievement Awards from the IMA and the MMA - Founder Member and Patron of the AFG; former Zonal VP of SOVSI ![Smiling older man in a black suit, white shirt, and striped tie; wearing glasses for a professional portrait.](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDI1IiBoZWlnaHQ9IjE1MzUiIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCAxMDI1IDE1MzUiPjxyZWN0IHdpZHRoPSIxMDAlIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEwMCUiIHN0eWxlPSJmaWxsOiNjZmQ0ZGI7ZmlsbC1vcGFjaXR5OiAwLjE7Ii8+PC9zdmc+ "image - Saraogi Hospital") ## A family-led fertility practice across two generations In the beginning, Dr. Saraogi lived with his parents on the hospital premises. Home and work shared one address, so the priorities matched. He also ran free medical camps regularly. Moreover, he treated patients who could not afford care without sending a bill. A few years later, he married Dr. Rashmi Saraogi. She soon joined him in the work. Together, they grew a small maternity home into something much larger. Over time, that growth passed to a second generation. ### **Dr. Rashmi Saraogi, senior obstetrician and fertility specialist** Dr. Rashmi Saraogi holds an MD and DGO, with more than 35 years of experience. She is a senior obstetrician, gynaecologist and fertility specialist. In fact, she is one of the people who shaped this hospital into what it is today. She joined the practice in its early years, soon after marrying the founder, and has cared for Mumbai families ever since. Her work covers the full span of women’s health. She handles obstetrics and pregnancy care, gynaecology, and laparoscopic surgery. Over the years, she has also helped refine the hospital’s fertility and IVF techniques. Many of her patients return to her for their second and third pregnancies. Furthermore, a good number arrive through word-of-mouth referrals, which says a lot about the trust she has built. Working alongside the founder, and later their son Dr. Mohit Saraogi, she helped turn a single Malad maternity home into the fertility group it is now. ![Professional portrait of a smiling woman with short dark hair, wearing a white blouse and pearl necklace against a light background.](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDAwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEzMDAiIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCAxMDAwIDEzMDAiPjxyZWN0IHdpZHRoPSIxMDAlIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEwMCUiIHN0eWxlPSJmaWxsOiNjZmQ0ZGI7ZmlsbC1vcGFjaXR5OiAwLjE7Ii8+PC9zdmc+ "Dr Sushma Saraogiimg - Saraogi Hospital") ![Man with beard and glasses in black scrubs sitting on a red sofa in a clinic lobby/ waiting area.

The founder’s son, Dr. Mohit Saraogi, has taken over the legacy. Today he is recognised as one of Mumbai’s leading IVF specialists. Alongside him works his wife, Dr. Roopa Prasad, who handles high-risk obstetrics and fertility care. In the end, the next generation made the difference. ## The fertility centre today Over time, the hospital has become a focused women’s health and fertility centre. At its core sits the IRIS IVF Centre. Today it supports couples through more than 1,000 pregnancies every year. As a result, its care now covers the full arc of a woman’s reproductive life: [IVF and test tube baby treatment](https://saraogihospital.com/test-tube-baby-centres-mumbai/) [Infertility treatment](https://saraogihospital.com/infertility-treatment-mumbai/) for couples [Frozen embryo transfer](https://saraogihospital.com/frozen-embryo-transfer-treatment-in-mumbai/) [ICSI](https://saraogihospital.com/icsi-treatment-in-mumbai/) and [IMSI](https://saraogihospital.com/imsi-treatment-in-mumbai/) [IUI](https://saraogihospital.com/iui-treatment-in-mumbai/) [Menopause clinic](https://saraogihospital.com/menopause-clinic-mumbai/) [Surrogacy guidance](https://saraogihospital.com/surrogacy-in-mumbai/) [Frozen embryo transfer](https://saraogihospital.com/frozen-embryo-transfer-treatment-in-mumbai/) [Gynaecology](https://saraogihospital.com/best-gynecologist-in-mumbai/) and [obstetrics](https://saraogihospital.com/obstetrician-in-mumbai/) [Laparoscopy](https://saraogihospital.com/laparoscopic-surgery-mumbai/) and [hysteroscopy](https://saraogihospital.com/what-is-hysteroscopy/) [Endometriosis care](https://saraogihospital.com/endometriosis-treatment-in-mumbai/) and [cancer screening](https://saraogihospital.com/oncologists-mumbai/) [Gynaecology](https://saraogihospital.com/best-gynecologist-in-mumbai/) and [obstetrics](https://saraogihospital.com/obstetrician-in-mumbai/) [Menopause clinic](https://saraogihospital.com/menopause-clinic-mumbai/) [MTP and safe abortion care](https://saraogihospital.com/abortion-clinics-mumbai/) [International patient care](https://saraogihospital.com/medical-tourism-international-patient-care/) ### Advanced Embryology Lab and Technology The lab is where much of the detail lives. Specifically, it offers IVF and ICSI, IMSI, blastocyst culture and transfer, laser-assisted hatching, PGT, and time-lapse embryo monitoring. In addition, it provides egg and embryo cryopreservation, ovarian tissue cryopreservation, IVM, NIPT, sequential embryo transfer, PRP ovarian rejuvenation, and AI-assisted embryo selection. More than forty years of experience sit behind every case. Patients also get a treatment plan built around their own diagnosis. Moreover, the team shares transparent [IVF cost guidance](https://saraogihospital.com/ivf-cost-in-mumbai/). Above all, it gives honest answers about [IVF success rates](https://saraogihospital.com/what-is-the-ivf-success-rate-in-mumbai/) rather than guarantees. ## Why Saraogi is a leading IVF hospital in Mumbai Many families choose Saraogi Hospital for a few clear reasons. 01 Four decades of proven experience. The hospital has cared for women since 1980. Each year, it supports over 1,000 pregnancies. As a result, few centres in Mumbai can match its track record. 02 A complete fertility ecosystem. IVF, ICSI, IMSI, IUI and frozen embryo transfer run alongside egg freezing and surrogacy guidance. Therefore, your care never has to leave the building. 03 An advanced in-house lab. PGT, time-lapse monitoring, laser-assisted hatching, IVM, cryopreservation and AI-assisted embryo selection are all available. Because of this, complex and previously failed cases get a real second chance. 04 A renowned team. Dr. Rajendra Saraogi founded the practice as a former Head of Department at Cooper Hospital. Today his son [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/) leads it, with Dr. Rashmi Saraogi and Dr. Roopa Prasad. 05 Personalised, transparent care. Every couple gets a plan built around their diagnosis and age. We share clear cost guidance upfront. Above all, we set honest expectations rather than promises. 06 Accredited and recognised. The centre is ISO certified. The Times of India named it Best IVF Centre, and the Hindustan Times honoured it for healthcare excellence. It also holds a 4.7-star public rating. ## The future of Saraogi Hospital & IRIS IVF Centre Today the practice runs centres across Mumbai, in Malad, Ghatkopar and Thane. As a result, specialist care sits closer to where families live. The next chapter is bigger still. Soon, the team will move to a new premises about three times the current size. It will bring modern facilities the old building never had. According to the founder, this step became possible because of Dr. Mohit and Dr. Roopa Prasad. In other words, the decision came from the generation now leading the way. So the story comes full circle. One specialist saw a gap in 1980. Today, a multi-centre group carries the same promise forward: specialist care, given honestly. ## A letter from our founder ![Dr. Rajendra M. Saraogi](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODdhAQABAPAAAMPDwwAAACwAAAAAAQABAAACAkQBADs=)## Dr. Rajendra M. Saraogi MD, FCPS, FICOG, DGO To everyone who has walked through our doors, and to the colleagues who have trusted us with their patients: When I opened this hospital on 12 October 1980, I was a young gynaecologist. Honestly, I had little idea how far it would go. Back then, Malad had almost no specialist care for women. So my plan was simple. I wanted to open a proper nursing home and treat anyone who needed it, whether or not they could pay. In those early years, I lived with my parents on the premises. Whenever I could, I ran free camps. To me, that was simply how medicine should be practised. I never set out to build something large. Instead, the people who joined me changed everything. First, my wife, Dr. Rashmi Saraogi, came into the work and stayed for decades. Later, my son Dr. Mohit and my daughter-in-law Dr. Roopa Prasad brought a new generation of fertility medicine into the house. Slowly, a maternity home became a centre that helps more than a thousand families a year. I have been fortunate in my career. Yet the honour I value most carries no certificate. Quite simply, families have trusted us with the most important moment of their lives. Now, we are preparing to move into a far larger home. I can write that sentence only because the next generation is ready. The promise, however, stays the same as in 1980: honest, skilled, compassionate care for every woman and couple who comes to us.

Saraogi --- ### [47-Year-Old Woman’s Successful Twin Pregnancy After Fibroids, Adenomyosis, and High-Risk IVF](https://saraogihospital.com/47-year-old-womans-successful-twin-pregnancy-after-fibroids-adenomyosis-and-high-risk-ivf/) **Published:** February 4, 2026 **Author:** Dr. Mohit Saraogi **Content:** # 47-Year-Old Woman’s Successful Twin Pregnancy After Fibroids, Adenomyosis, and High-Risk IVF At Saraogi Hospital’s IRIS IVF Centre, we often manage IVF cases involving advanced maternal age, complex uterine conditions, and long-standing medical disorders. One such challenging case was that of a 47-year-old woman who came to us with infertility, a prior miscarriage, and significant uterine pathology, including fibroids and adenomyosis. With a carefully planned surgical approach, personalised IVF treatment, and close medical supervision throughout pregnancy, she successfully conceived and went on to deliver healthy twin babies. This case study outlines the clinical decisions and intensive care that helped achieve a positive outcome despite multiple high-risk factors ## The Patient’s Background A 47-year-old woman and her 54-year-old husband approached us in 2024 after facing infertility and a previous miscarriage following fertility treatment done elsewhere. Given her age, the patient already had several medical concerns, including chronic hypertension for over 10 years, for which she was on regular [antihypertensive medication](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK554579/). She also reported irregular and heavy menstrual cycles, which had been attributed to her perimenopausal age group. This combination of advanced maternal age, medical comorbidities, and prior pregnancy loss placed her in a high-risk fertility category from the outset. ## The Challenges Faced by the Medical Team A detailed ultrasound evaluation revealed significant uterine pathology. The uterus was found to be very bulky with multiple large fibroids, causing severe distortion of the uterine cavity and displacement of the endometrial lining. Additionally, the patient was diagnosed with adenomyosis, further reducing the chances of implantation and increasing the risk of miscarriage. ### The major challenges in this case included: #### Advanced maternal age #### Long-standing hypertension #### Multiple large uterine fibroids #### Severe cavity distortion #### Adenomyosis #### Previous miscarriage #### High risk of IVF failure and pregnancy loss Fibroids and adenomyosis significantly divert blood supply away from the endometrium and act as space-occupying lesions, thereby increasing the risk of both IVF failure and miscarriage—particularly when they distort or indent the uterine cavity. According to Ivf doctor in Mumbai, Dr. Mohit Saraogi, careful surgical correction and individualised fertility planning are crucial in such cases to improve implantation potential and overall pregnancy outcomes. ## Our Approach and Treatment Plan After completing routine blood investigations, it was clear that surgical correction was essential before attempting IVF. The patient was planned for a combined hysteroscopic and laparoscopic procedure. During hysteroscopy, an endocervical polyp was identified and removed. Endometrial scratching was also performed to improve endometrial receptivity, particularly important in the presence of adenomyosis. Laparoscopy revealed seven uterine fibroids, all of which were removed. The largest fibroid measured approximately 6 × 5 cm, with several others measuring 5 × 4 cm and smaller[ fibroids](https://www.nishawomenshospital.com/blog/understanding-uterine-fibroids-and-ovarian-cysts-causes-symptoms-treatments/) of 2–3 cm. A hemorrhagic cyst in the right ovary was also identified and excised. Histopathology confirmed an endocervical polyp and leiomyoma with hyaline degeneration, validating the surgical findings. Post-surgery, the patient was given a two-month recovery period, during which she was placed on hormonal suppression using combined oral contraceptive pills to allow optimal uterine healing. Given the patient’s age (over 45 years) and reduced ovarian reserve, IVF was planned using donor eggs and donor sperm. The first embryo transfer showed good endometrial development but unfortunately resulted in a negative outcome, likely due to persistent adenomyosis. ## A Successful Pregnancy with Multiple Complications Before the second transfer, the patient’s blood pressure was brought under stricter control, as it had become less controlled during the initial attempt. Endometrial preparation was repeated, and the second embryo transfer was performed in March 2025, which resulted in a strong positive pregnancy test with a beta-HCG value of 527. ### As the pregnancy progressed, several complications arose: #### Worsening hypertension requiring multiple antihypertensive medications #### Need for injectable medications to prevent miscarriage #### Development of gestational diabetes, requiring active management #### Twin pregnancy with short cervix and prior myomectomy history A cervical cerclage (stitch) was placed to reduce the risk of preterm delivery. Despite optimal medical therapy, the patient’s blood pressure and blood sugar levels required continuous monitoring and repeated adjustments, along with lifestyle modifications. \[Image of cervical cerclage procedure\] At around 20 weeks, the patient developed bleeding and a sudden rise in blood pressure. She was diagnosed with complete placenta previa, where the placenta covers the cervical opening, posing a high risk of recurrent bleeding. She required multiple hospital admissions for conservative management of bleeding and uncontrolled hypertension. With meticulous obstetric care, continuous use of low molecular weight heparin, strict blood pressure and sugar control, and close fetal surveillance, the pregnancy was successfully prolonged until 35 weeks. ## Conclusion At 35 weeks of gestation, the patient delivered healthy twin babies, weighing approximately 2 kg and 1.6 kg, respectively. Both babies cried immediately after birth and required no major neonatal interventions. Despite advanced maternal age, extensive uterine surgery, adenomyosis, chronic hypertension, gestational diabetes, placenta previa, and a twin pregnancy, both mother and babies were safe and healthy. This case highlights how comprehensive pre-IVF surgical correction, individualised fertility planning, and intensive antenatal management can lead to successful outcomes even in extremely high-risk patients. It reinforces that with the right expertise and perseverance, complex fertility cases can still achieve positive and life-changing results. --- ### [ICSI Twin Delivery After 4 Failed IUIs](https://saraogihospital.com/icsi-twin-delivery-after-4-failed-iuis/) **Published:** June 3, 2026 **Author:** Dr. Mohit Saraogi **Content:** # Successful Twin Pregnancy Through ICSI in a 29-Year-Old with Four Failed IUIs, an Arcuate Uterus, and Recurrent Pregnancy Bleeding A 29-year-old woman married for 10 years came to Dr. Mohit Saraog[i](https://saraogihospital.com) at Saraogi Hospital & IRIS IVF Centre, Mumbai in April 2025 after four failed IUI cycles, along with multiple rounds of follicular monitoring and several natural cycles. Evaluation showed she was largely healthy with a slightly reduced egg count, while a hysteroscopy later revealed an arcuate uterus. As an experienced [ivf doctor in mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com), Dr. Mohit Saraogi managed the case with ICSI, a corrective metroplasty, and a fresh Day-5 transfer of two grade B blastocysts. The very first transfer succeeded, resulting in twins. Despite relentless bleeding episodes and a large intrauterine hematoma throughout the pregnancy, the patient was managed conservatively with tocolysis, immunosuppressants, and a cervical cerclage, and went on to deliver healthy term twins, one boy and one girl, each weighing 2 kg. ![Timeline of the treatment journey from Consultation to Twin Delivery, showing six steps: Consultation, ICSI Cycle, Hysteroscopy + Metoplasty, Day-5 Transfer, Pregnancy Care, and Term Delivery at Saraogi Hospital & IRIS IVF Centre, Mumbai](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MjQiIGhlaWdodD0iMzQzIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjI0IDM0MyI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Picture1 - Saraogi Hospital") ## Patient Profile **Age** 29 years **Gender** Female **Husband’s Age** 29 years **Married Since** 10 years **Presenting Complaint** Primary infertility of 10 years with four prior failed IUI cycles done elsewhere **Diagnosis** Primary infertility, slightly diminished ovarian reserve, arcuate uterus, poor egg and embryo quality (grade B blastocysts) **Date of Procedure** April 2025, with term twin delivery in early 2026 **Outcome** Healthy term twin live birth, one male and one female, 2 kg each. Mother and babies well ## The Problem At 29, the patient had already spent a decade trying to conceive. Married for 10 years, she and her 29-year-old husband had been through four IUI cycles at other centres, in addition to multiple rounds of follicular monitoring and several natural cycles, none of which resulted in a pregnancy. When the couple reached Saraogi Hospital in April 2025, a detailed ultrasound showed that the patient was largely healthy, with a slightly reduced egg count being the only notable finding. There was no major structural or hormonal abnormality on initial assessment. However, the long history of repeated treatment failure made it clear that simply continuing with the same line of treatment was unlikely to help. A diagnostic hysteroscopy performed before the embryo transfer revealed an arcuate uterus, a congenital variation in the shape of the uterine cavity that can interfere with embryo implantation and increase the risk of pregnancy loss. Combined with a marginally low ovarian reserve and the eventual finding of poor egg and embryo quality, the clinical picture pointed to the need for an advanced, carefully individualised approach rather than another routine attempt. ## Consultation And Treatment Plan **WHAT WAS ASSESSED DURING THE CONSULTATION** ### WHAT WAS ASSESSED DURING THE CONSULTATION [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](http://saraogihospital.com/) conducted a detailed evaluation before planning treatment: - Complete history of four failed IUI cycles, follicular monitoring and natural cycles reviewed - Pelvic ultrasound showed a largely normal pelvis with a slightly reduced egg count (diminished ovarian reserve) - Both partners’ fertility factors assessed, along with the couple’s goals and emotional readiness - Uterine cavity evaluated by diagnostic hysteroscopy, which revealed an arcuate uterus - Overall medical fitness for an [IVF](https://saraogihospital.com/infertility-treatment-mumbai/) cycle confirmed ### WHY THIS TREATMENT APPROACH WAS CHOSEN - [ICSI](https://saraogihospital.com/icsi-treatment-in-mumbai/) was recommended over a repeat IUI because four IUI cycles had already failed, and injecting a single sperm directly into each egg maximises the chance of fertilisation - Pre-transfer [hysteroscopy](https://saraogihospital.com/what-is-hysteroscopy/) with metroplasty was planned to correct the arcuate uterus and optimise the cavity before any embryo was placed - A Day-5 blastocyst transfer was chosen so that the most viable embryos could be selected, which was especially important given the slow embryo growth observed - Transparent counselling was prioritised: as only two grade B blastocysts were available, the couple was clearly informed that success rates would be slightly lower before they chose to proceed - Close antenatal monitoring was anticipated, given the corrected uterus and the higher-risk nature of a twin pregnancy ## Clinical Illustration An arcuate uterus is a mild congenital anomaly in which the top (fundus) of the uterine cavity is slightly indented inward rather than smoothly curved. While it is one of the milder uterine variations, it can still affect where and how an embryo implants and, in some cases, contribute to bleeding and pregnancy loss. In this patient, the arcuate cavity was identified on hysteroscopy and corrected with a minor metroplasty before embryo transfer. The illustration below compares a typical uterine cavity with the arcuate cavity seen in this case. ![Comparison of normal uterus (left) and arcuate uterus (right): left shows a smooth, broad fundal cavity; right shows mild inward dip at the fundus with fundal indentation.](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MjQiIGhlaWdodD0iNDU3IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjI0IDQ1NyI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Picture2 - Saraogi Hospital") ## Procedure Details - Ovarian stimulation started with injectable medication and tracked through follicular monitoring - Egg retrieval performed; a reasonable number of eggs collected, though egg quality was suboptimal - Eggs fertilised with the husband’s sperm using ICSI - Embryos cultured to day 5; growth was slow, yielding two grade B blastocysts - Diagnostic hysteroscopy performed, revealing an arcuate uterus; a slight metroplasty was done to correct the cavity - Fresh Day-5 embryo transfer of the two grade B blastocysts performed - Pregnancy confirmed on the first transfer; twin gestation identified on early scan - First bleeding episode at 5 to 6 weeks; patient admitted, bleeding controlled with tocolysis and immunosuppressants, and the pregnancy maintained - Three days later, a heavy bleeding episode with large clots; ultrasound remained normal with both fetal heartbeats present - A large intrauterine hematoma measuring 5 by 5 cm developed from the repeated bleeding - A third bleeding episode within a span of 10 days required readmission; the heartbeat remained strong - At 9 weeks, clots of 4 by 4 cm and 2 by 2 cm were noted behind both babies; bleeding continued but fetal heart rates stayed normal - Bleeding episodes persisted through 12 weeks, likely related to a weak uterine lining and the lower grade of the embryos - At 15 weeks, further bleeding occurred and the hematoma increased to around 6 cm; managed conservatively and successfully - A cervical cerclage (stitch) was placed, along with continued immunosuppressant therapy, to support the pregnancy - After the cerclage, the patient had only one further bleeding episode, and by 18 weeks the bleeding stopped completely - The patient delivered healthy twin babies at term, one boy and one girl, each weighing approximately 2 kg ## Procedure Facts **Procedure** Hysteroscopy + Metroplasty, ICSI (IVF), Day-5 Blastocyst Transfer, Cervical Cerclage **Primary Diagnosis** Primary infertility with arcuate uterus and four prior failed IUIs **Uterine Correction** Slight metroplasty for arcuate uterus **Embryos Generated** Two grade B Day-5 blastocysts via ICSI **Gestation Type** Twin pregnancy from first transfer **Anaesthesia** Short general / sedation for egg retrieval and hysteroscopy **Gestation at Delivery** Term **Baby Weights** Twin 1: 2 kg, Twin 2: 2 kg (one male, one female) **Maternal Complications** Recurrent antenatal bleeding with a 5 to 6 cm intrauterine hematoma, managed conservatively ## Outcomes At A Glance **Conception** Achieved on the first embryo transfer attempt, resulting in twins **Pregnancy Continuation** Successfully carried to term despite recurrent bleeding and a large hematoma **Baby Outcome** Healthy term twins, 2 kg each, one boy and one girl **Maternal Outcome** Stable and well after delivery **Patient Satisfaction** Very high.

When Is It Medically Necessary? ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI0MzMiIGhlaWdodD0iMjgzIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNDMzIDI4MyI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Picture1 - Saraogi Hospital") Surrogacy is an assisted reproductive process in which a surrogate carries and delivers a baby on behalf of a couple, called the intended parents. The embryo is created using in vitro fertilization (IVF), where eggs and sperm from the intended parents (or donors, if required) are fertilized in a lab and then transferred into the surrogate’s uterus. In gestational surrogacy India, which is the only legally allowed form of surrogacy in India, the surrogate has no genetic connection to the child.

How are surrogates selected and screened in India? Surrogates are carefully selected based on strict medical, psychological, and legal criteria under the Surrogacy (Regulation) Act 2021. At Saraogi Hospital, each surrogate undergoes comprehensive health screening, age verification (between 25-35 years), and relationship confirmation. We ensure they have at least one living child and meet all eligibility requirements. Our personalized matching process considers intended parents’ preferences while prioritizing the surrogate’s wellbeing and safety throughout the journey. ##### 2. Who is eligible for surrogacy in India? Can single parents or LGBTQ+ couples do surrogacy? Under India’s Surrogacy (Regulation) Act 2021, surrogacy is currently available only to legally married heterosexual couples. Single parents, divorced individuals, and same-sex couples are not eligible under current Indian law. However, if you fall into these categories, alternative options like adoption or egg donation may be worth exploring. We recommend consulting with our specialists to understand all available pathways to parenthood suited to your circumstances. ##### 3. What is the complete surrogacy timeline in India? How long does it take from start to delivery? The complete surrogacy process in India typically takes 12-18 months from initial consultation to delivery. This includes: consultation and testing (1-2 months), surrogate selection and screening (2-4 weeks), IVF cycle and embryo transfer (1-2 months), pregnancy monitoring (9 months), and post-delivery legal formalities (2-4 weeks).

Let us walk it with you.** [Schedule an appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## What is IVF? Let me break this down for you because there’s a lot of confusion out there. IVF means your doctor takes your eggs out, fertilizes them with sperm in a lab, and watches them grow for a few days. Then they put the best embryo back inside you. That’s the basic idea. The actual success? That depends on three things: your eggs, the sperm quality, and the lab team’s skill. A good embryology lab makes a huge difference. A mediocre one? Not so much. That’s why we didn’t cheap out on equipment. Your embryos deserve better than second-rate incubators. ## IRIS IVF Centre at Saraogi Hospital, Thane - Saraogi Hospital is a 40 plus year old maternity and fertility institution serving Mumbai and Thane since 1980. - IRIS IVF Centre is our dedicated fertility arm, also known as our[ Test Tube Baby Centre](https://saraogihospital.com/test-tube-baby-centres-mumbai/), with sister branches in[ Malad](https://saraogihospital.com/ivf-centre-in-malad/),[ Mulund](https://saraogihospital.com/ivf-centre-in-mulund-saraogi-hospital/),[ Ghatkopar](https://saraogihospital.com/ivf-centre-in-ghatkopar-saraogi-hospital/) and[ Andheri](https://saraogihospital.com/ivf-centre-in-andheri-mumbai/). - The Thane clinic is one of the most modern IVF centres in Naupada, equipped with time lapse incubators, ICSI and IMSI workstations and vitrification freezing. - The clinic is led by[ Dr. Mohit R.

Yes,[ Dr. Mohit R. Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/) consults personally at the Thane clinic on Tuesdays and Saturdays from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM by appointment. Routine scans and follow-ups are handled by the in-house Thane team on all weekdays. ##### What does one IVF cycle cost at the Thane centre? A standard IVF cycle costs between ₹1,50,000 and ₹2,25,000, including stimulation, retrieval, ICSI when needed and fresh embryo transfer. PGT-A, FET and donor programmes are quoted separately, see our[ IVF cost guide](https://saraogihospital.com/ivf-cost-in-mumbai/) for the full breakdown. ##### How long does the full IVF process take? From the first consultation to embryo transfer, a typical IVF cycle takes 6 to 8 weeks. The pregnancy blood test is performed 12 to 14 days after transfer. ##### What is the IVF success rate in Thane? Live birth rates per cycle are 74 percent under 30, 70 percent for ages 30 to 35, 52 percent for ages 36 to 39, and 34 percent over 40. Cumulative success after three attempts is approximately 85 percent for women under 35, more on[ our published success rates](https://saraogihospital.com/what-is-the-ivf-success-rate-in-mumbai/). ##### We had failed IVF cycles elsewhere. Can you help? About four in ten cycles at IRIS IVF Centre are for couples who failed at least one cycle in another clinic. A detailed review of prior reports almost always reveals at least one change that can improve the next outcome, see our[ success stories](https://saraogihospital.com/saraogi-hospital-ivf-success-stories/) for similar cases. ##### Is IVF treatment painful? Egg retrieval is done under short general anaesthesia, so you feel nothing. Stimulation injections feel like insulin injections, and embryo transfer feels like a routine cervical exam. ##### Is IVF in Thane covered by health insurance? Cashless billing is available with most major Indian insurers for the inpatient and surgical portions, including egg retrieval and embryo transfer. The team verifies your specific policy coverage before treatment begins. ##### Which areas around Thane does the clinic serve?

She had cervical amputation from an unsupervised rural procedure, severe intrauterine adhesions, and a failed IVF cycle elsewhere. [Dr. Mohit R. Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/) managed the case with donor egg IVF, hysteroscopic adhesiolysis with PRP, and an elective laparoscopic cervical cerclage. She delivered a healthy 2.2 kg male baby at 37 weeks with no NICU admission. ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iMzEyIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDMxMiI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "image2 - Saraogi Hospital") ## PATIENT PROFILE AGE40 yearsGENDERFemaleHUSBAND’S AGE54 yearsMARRIED SINCE18 yearsCITYRural patient, referred to MumbaiPRESENTING COMPLAINTSecondary infertility after IUFD, prior IVF failure, chronic pelvic symptomsDIAGNOSISCervical amputation, intrauterine adhesions, low ovarian reserve (AFC 1+1), advanced maternal ageDATE OF PROCEDUREApril 2025 to deliveryOUTCOMEHealthy live birth at 37 weeks ## THE PROBLEM Her story was heavy before she even sat down in the clinic. Two daughters lost in a road accident. A pregnancy one year before her visit that ended in intrauterine foetal death at around 8 months of gestation, followed by a vaginal delivery. Since then, trying to conceive again had become the only thing that mattered. Her medical history was complicated and partly unknown even to her. After her last delivery 8 to 9 years ago, she had severe bleeding in her village. A procedure was performed on her cervix, not in a hospital, not by a qualified doctor, and without any records. She had lived since then with a constant feeling of something coming out from her vagina, suggesting uterine prolapse. One IVF cycle done elsewhere had already failed. By the time she reached [Saraogi Hospital](https://saraogihospital.com/) in April 2025, she was 40, carrying loss on every front, and running out of time. ## CONSULTATION AND TREATMENT PLAN ### WHAT WAS ASSESSED DURING THE CONSULTATION Dr. Mohit R. Saraogi conducted a full evaluation before planning treatment: - Vaginal ultrasound showed the cervix was not visible at all - Per speculum examination confirmed cervical amputation, not a formal Fothergill procedure, just a surgical cut - External os was visible, and uterine sounding confirmed an easy entry into the uterus with no cervix as a structural barrier - Antral follicle count was 1 on each side, indicating diminished ovarian reserve - History of one failed IVF cycle outside reviewed - Husband’s availability confirmed for sperm freezing due to frequent travel between the village and Mumbai - Psychological state assessed given the cumulative pregnancy loss history ### WHY THIS TREATMENT APPROACH WAS CHOSEN [Donor egg IVF](https://saraogihospital.com/egg-donor-treatment-in-mumbai/) was recommended because the patient’s AFC was 1+1 and one self-egg IVF cycle had already failed. Own-egg success at age 40 with this reserve was clinically unviable - Sperm and embryo freezing was done simultaneously to avoid scheduling issues caused by the husband’s travel - Hysteroscopy with PRP instillation was planned after the first transfer failure to manage fundal adhesions and improve endometrial receptivity - Laparoscopic cervical cerclage (lap surclash) was pre-planned as elective post-conception, because the absence of a functional cervix meant a normal pregnancy could not reach term without surgical reinforcement - Blastocyst-stage frozen embryo transfer was chosen over fresh transfer to allow full endometrial preparation and cavity optimisation ## PROCEDURE ILLUSTRATION The patient underwent donor egg IVF followed by [frozen embryo transfer](https://saraogihospital.com/frozen-embryo-transfer-treatment-in-mumbai/). The diagram below shows the standard IVF workflow. In this case, donor eggs were used due to the patient’s diminished ovarian reserve (AFC 1+1), and embryos were transferred after cavity optimisation through hysteroscopic adhesiolysis and PRP instillation. ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iMjQwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAwIDI0MCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "image1 - Saraogi Hospital") ## PROCEDURE DETAILS - Donor egg IVF cycle initiated. Donor stimulated and eggs retrieved - Husband’s semen sample frozen in advance to accommodate travel constraints - Fertilisation done in the lab. 10 Grade A embryos were produced and frozen at blastocyst stage - First frozen embryo transfer attempted in April 2025. Transfer was technically difficult due to intrauterine adhesions. Cycle was negative - [Hysteroscopy](https://saraogihospital.com/what-is-hysteroscopy/) performed. Roomy cavity noted with fundal adhesions, which were cut using scissors. PRP was instilled into the cavity to support endometrial regeneration - Hysteroscopy confirmed direct entry from vaginal introitus into the uterus, reconfirming cervical absence - Second frozen embryo transfer done in August 2025. Beta hCG doubling was good. Pregnancy confirmed - Small uterine fibroid noted. Gestational diabetes developed due to advanced maternal age and was managed with medication - At 12 weeks, after genetic markers of the foetus were cleared, elective [laparoscopic cervical cerclage](https://saraogihospital.com/laparoscopic-surgery-mumbai/) was performed. The knot was tied as high as technically possible on the lower uterine segment - Sugar levels stabilised with ongoing medical management - Pregnancy monitored closely through all three trimesters - Patient delivered at 37 weeks. A healthy 2.2 kg male baby was born, cried immediately, and required no NICU admission ### PROCEDURE FACTS **PROCEDURE**Donor Egg IVF with FET, Hysteroscopic Adhesiolysis + PRP, Laparoscopic Cervical Cerclage**EMBRYOS GENERATED**10 Grade A blastocysts**CERCLAGE TYPE**Laparoscopic cervical cerclage (lap surclash), elective, at 12 weeks**GESTATION AT DELIVERY**37 weeks**BABY OUTCOME**Healthy male, 2.2 kg, immediate cry, no NICU stay ### OUTCOMES AT A GLANCE ConceptionAchieved on second FET after hysteroscopy and PRPPregnancy ContinuationSuccessfully carried to 37 weeks with cerclageBaby OutcomeHealthy male, 2.2 kg, immediate cry, no NICU stayMaternal OutcomeStable.

For further details you will have to get in touch with the hospital administration. Due to our expertise we get a wide array of patients coming to us for various diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Outstation patients who wish to register with us for various treatments can email us their details and reports on drsaraogi@hotmail.com or saraogihospital@gmail.com . One of our panel of doctors will revert back to you at the earliest and will guide on a systematic approach to the treatment. Why? They get the same treatment. Better results sometimes. A fraction of the cost. And surprisingly, less stress. At [Saraogi Hospital](http://saraogihospital.com/), we’ve been helping couples become parents since 1980. Over 40 years. [Dr. Mohit Saraogi](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/) has spent 15+ years specializing in fertility. We deliver 1,000+ healthy babies every year. Patients consistently give us 4.7 stars on Google. But we know numbers on a page don’t mean much. What matters is this: you’ll arrive in Mumbai worried. You’ll leave with hope. And most importantly, you’ll go home pregnant. This page walks you through how it works. What to expect. What it costs. How we support you every step of the way. ## Why Couples Choose India for IVF Let’s be honest. Money matters. IVF in London costs £5,000 to £8,000. In America, it’s $15,000 to $25,000. Australia and UAE are similar. You pay these prices. Wait months. Hope it works. In Mumbai, you pay half. Sometimes less. And you don’t wait. But cost isn’t the only reason smart couples come here. You get Dr. Mohit Saraogi. Not a resident. Not a junior doctor. The actual specialist. He reviews your case. He performs your procedure. He’s available when you need him. ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDIiIGhlaWdodD0iMjg5IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAyIDI4OSI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Picture3 - Saraogi Hospital") You get state-of-the-art technology. Our lab isn’t some basic setup. We have time-lapse incubators. Advanced embryo grading. ICSI capability. Everything you’d find in London or New York. Most importantly, you get real results. 1,000+ pregnancies per year. Patients from UK, USA, UAE, Australia, Canada, East Africa all successful. These aren’t marketing claims. Check Google reviews. Talk to past patients. The success is real. Plus Mumbai is accessible. You can fly direct from London, Dubai, New York. Not some remote village. It’s a major city with hotels, restaurants, transportation. Your partner won’t be bored while you’re in treatment. And here’s what catches people off guard: the care is more personal. You’re not a file number. You’re not waiting six months for your next appointment. Dr. Saraogi knows your name. Your story. What you’ve been through. That matters more than you’d think when you’re going through fertility treatment. Ready to see what your personalized treatment plan and cost would be? Schedule your free online consultation. [Schedule an appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## How This Actually Works: Your Real Timeline Let me walk you through what your journey looks like. Honestly. E #### Before You Travel (Week 1-2) You book a video call with Dr. Saraogi. You share your medical history. Your previous test results. What’s worked and what hasn’t. He asks questions. Real questions. Not a scripted consultation. He tells you honestly: yes, this will likely work for you. Or: this is going to be harder than you think, here’s why. Or: you need to try this first. No sugarcoating. You get a written plan. Treatment option. Timeline. Cost. What to test before you arrive. E #### Preparing at Home (Week 3-4) You finish basic tests at your local clinic. Blood work. Ultrasounds. Semen analysis if needed. This saves time when you arrive. Your coordinator helps with flights and hotel. You tell her your budget. Your preferences. She finds good options. Everything’s arranged before you land. E #### Week 1 in Mumbai (Days 1-7) You arrive. Someone picks you up from the airport. You meet the team. Quick baseline ultrasound. Hormone injection training. It’s straightforward. Most days you just do home injections. You explore Mumbai if you want. Or rest. Your call. E #### Week 2 in Mumbai (Days 8-14) Monitoring ultrasounds. Usually daily. Takes 20 minutes. You see follicles growing. That moment when you see 10 follicles developing? That’s real hope. Near the end of the week, trigger injection. This finishes egg maturation. Then you schedule egg collection. E #### Week 3 in Mumbai (Days 15-21) Egg collection day. You’re sedated. Takes 15 minutes. You wake up. It’s done. Same day, your partner provides a semen sample. Or we use frozen sperm if you came alone. Embryos develop in the lab over the next 5-6 days. You don’t do anything. Just wait. Videos calls with the embryologist telling you how many fertilized, how many are dividing. Day 5 or 6: Embryo transfer. Thin catheter. 10 seconds. You’re done. E #### Then You Go Home (Day 21 onwards) Most couples fly home 2-3 days after transfer. Yes, really. Bed rest isn’t necessary. Movement is fine. Back home, progesterone support continues. You take pills or injections. Simple. 12 days after transfer: Blood test. Your home doctor does it. Results emailed to us. Dr. Saraogi calls with news. If positive, you have an ultrasound at home at 6 weeks. He reviews the images with your local doctor. Pregnancy confirmed? You’re released to your OB. You graduate to regular prenatal care. **Real talk:** This entire process takes 3 to 4 weeks total. You only need to be in Mumbai 2.5 to 3 weeks. ## What's Actually Different at Saraogi Hospital You could go to a big chain fertility hospital. They have branches everywhere. Slick marketing. Celebrity endorsements. We’re different. Smaller. More personal. Obsessed with outcomes. E #### Dr. Mohit Saraogi founded this with one idea: what if fertility care didn't cost a fortune? What if you weren't treated like a transaction? 40 years later, that’s still the approach. You’re not a number. You’re a couple trying to build a family. Our lab is world-class. ICMR-accredited. Modern equipment. But that’s table stakes. Every decent clinic has these things. E #### What really matters: Dr. Saraogi is available. You call him. You see him. He doesn’t hide behind staff. Your embryologist talks to you directly. You see your embryos developing. You understand what’s happening. Not black-box medicine. Your coordinator knows you. Your story. What worries you. She doesn’t rush you through. We don’t do unnecessary procedures. Want PGS testing? Let’s discuss if it makes sense for you. Want ICSI? We’ll explain exactly why, or why not. Pricing is honest. What you see is what you pay. No surprise charges. No “you need this extra test” upsells. Results speak louder than anything. 1,000+ babies per year. 4.7 star rating. Patients from everywhere coming back. That’s what different looks like. ## What We Actually Offer Here’s what you can choose from. Depending on your situation. ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDIiIGhlaWdodD0iNDAxIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjAyIDQwMSI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Picture4 - Saraogi Hospital") #### Week 3 in Mumbai (Days 15-21) Your eggs, your partner’s sperm, combined in the lab.

The table below shows ivf success rate by age: **Age groupClinical pregnancy rateLive birth rate**Under 3545–50%40–45%35–3930–40%25–35%40+10–25%8–20% Some clinics report higher figures using donor eggs, where success may reach **50–70% per cycle**. These outcomes depend on donor age, embryo quality, and laboratory standards. Reported IVF success rates in Mumbai vary by clinic, technology, and patient profile. We encourage patients to ask how success is defined and whether figures reflect live birth data rather than pregnancy tests alone.

We see **IVF success rates by age** vary mainly due to **egg quality** and **ovarian reserve**. Tests such as *AMH* and **antral follicle count** help estimate response to stimulation, while options like [**IVF with donor eggs**](https://saraogihospital.com/egg-donor-treatment-in-mumbai/) or prior **egg freezing** can improve outcomes for some age groups. **Embryo quality** plays a central role. Clinics assess **fertilisation rate**, growth to **blastocyst culture**, and timing of **blastocyst transfer**. Tools such as **embryo selection**, **embryo screening**, *PGD*, **PGT-A**, and **preimplantation genetic testing (PGT)** help identify chromosomally normal embryos, which matters in cases of **recurrent miscarriages** or **repeated IVF failures**. Male factors also influence results. **Sperm quality** assessed through **semen analysis** affects fertilisation, and techniques like [**ICSI**](https://saraogihospital.com/icsi-treatment-in-mumbai/) **(intracytoplasmic sperm injection)** or [*IMSI*](https://saraogihospital.com/imsi-treatment-in-mumbai/) address **male factor infertility**. These methods can raise fertilisation rates when sperm parameters are poor. The **uterine environment** must support implantation. **Uterine health**, lining thickness, and shape matter, and procedures such as **hysteroscopy** or **laser-assisted hatching** may help selected patients. Well-managed conditions improve the chance of implantation after transfer. Treatment strategy matters. Clinics weigh the **number of embryos transferred**, balancing **single embryo transfer (SET)** against **multiple embryo transfer (MET)** or **double embryo transfer** to reduce risk while maintaining success. **FET**, **embryo freezing**, [**cryopreservation**](https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/treatments/15464-embryo-freezing-cryopreservation), and [**vitrification**](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32106970/) preserve embryos safely and allow transfers in optimised cycles. ***Book a visit at Saraogi Hospital Today & Get a thorough analysis of your reports to assess your IVF success rate.*** [Schedule an appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## How Does IVF Success Rate Differ City Wise? We see city-wise IVF success rates differ because infrastructure, clinical depth, and patient access vary across India. Location shapes how consistently clinics apply advanced protocols and maintain lab conditions.Metro cities such as **Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, and Hyderabad** tend to report higher average success rates. These centres usually invest more in embryology labs, continuous embryo monitoring, and specialist teams. Tier‑2 cities often show slightly lower averages, though strong clinics still achieve good outcomes. Limited access to high-end lab equipment and fewer senior embryologists explain much of the gap, not patient potential. **Key drivers behind city-wise variation include:** - **Laboratory technology:** Time‑lapse incubators, air filtration, and vitrification improve embryo survival. - **Clinical expertise:** Experienced fertility specialists and embryologists reduce cycle variability. - **Case complexity:** Metro clinics handle more repeat failures and advanced-age cases, which can influence averages. - **Protocol consistency:** Standardised stimulation and transfer protocols raise predictability. We also notice differences in patient behaviour by city. Earlier diagnosis, quicker referrals, and better follow‑up compliance support stronger outcomes in urban centres. **City TypeTypical StrengthsCommon Limitations**Metro citiesAdvanced labs, specialist teamsHigher patient volumeTier‑2 citiesLower costs, personalised careLimited high-end technologyWe focus less on city labels and more on clinic standards, lab quality, and transparent reporting when assessing IVF success anywhere in Mumbai. ## Conclusion We recognise that IVF success rates in Mumbai vary widely by age, diagnosis, and treatment quality. Most clinics report **around 30–50% success per cycle**, with higher chances for patients under 35 and lower rates after 40. We see consistent evidence that **donor egg IVF** and **frozen embryo transfers** deliver stronger outcomes than standard fresh cycles. In suitable cases, these approaches reach **50–70% per cycle**, depending on clinical and laboratory standards. We emphasise that **live birth rate**, not a positive pregnancy test, defines real success. Clinics that publish age-wise live birth data provide the clearest picture of expected results. Key influences on success remain clear: - **Age and egg quality** - **Sperm health and DNA integrity** - **Embryology lab conditions and expertise** - **Personalised protocols and monitoring** We also acknowledge that many patients need **more than one cycle**. Cumulative success improves across two or three attempts, especially when treatment plans adapt to previous outcomes. We advise patients to question guarantees and marketing claims. IVF works on probability, guided by medical precision and realistic expectations. We believe informed decisions, transparent clinics, and appropriate technology give patients the best chance to achieve a healthy pregnancy in Mumbai. IVF Success Rate Calculator## IVF Success Rate Calculator Loading calculator... Back Next ## Videos about IVF & Fertility By Dr. Mohit R. Saraogi ## Frequently Asked Questions ### 1. What is the average IVF success rate in Mumbai compared to other cities? Mumbai reports IVF success rates of 40-55% per cycle, higher than the national average of 30-45% and comparable to Delhi, Bangalore, and Chennai. This is due to advanced embryology labs, experienced specialists, and strict quality protocols. Top Mumbai clinics achieve 50-75% success for women under 35, matching international standards. ### 2. Which clinic has the highest IVF success rate in Mumbai? Leading Mumbai clinics include Saraogi Hospital & IRIS IVF Centre (>75% for under 35), Nova IVF, Bloom IVF, and Cloudnine Fertility. When comparing, ask for age-specific live birth rates, not just pregnancy rates. Verify laboratory accreditation and whether donor egg cycles are included in reported statistics. ### 3. What is the success rate of IVF with donor eggs in Mumbai? IVF with donor eggs in Mumbai achieves 55-75% success per cycle, regardless of recipient age. This is because donor eggs come from women under 30 with excellent ovarian reserve. Donor egg IVF is recommended for women over 42, premature ovarian failure, repeated failures with own eggs, or genetic disorders. ### 4. How does age affect IVF success rate in Mumbai? Age directly impacts success: under 30 sees 50-60%, ages 30-35 achieve 45-55%, 35-40 drops to 25-40%, and over 40 falls to 10-25%. Egg quality declines with age, reducing fertilization rates. Mumbai clinics often recommend donor eggs after 42, which restores success rates to 50-70%. ### 5. What is the success rate of frozen embryo transfer (FET) in Mumbai? FET success rates in Mumbai range from 45-60%, often exceeding fresh transfers. FET allows uterine recovery from hormones, enables optimal timing, and permits genetic testing. Mumbai clinics use vitrification with 95-98% embryo survival rates, particularly beneficial for PCOS patients and high responders. ### 6. How many IVF cycles are needed for successful pregnancy? Most patients succeed within 2-3 cycles. Cumulative success rates show 40-50% after one cycle, 60-75% after two cycles, and 75-85% after three cycles. The number depends on age, infertility cause, and embryo quality. Specialists typically recommend three attempts before considering alternative strategies. --- ### [Laparoscopic Myomectomy in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/laparoscopic-myomectomy-in-mumbai/) **Published:** February 7, 2026 **Author:** Dr. Mohit Saraogi **Content:** ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxNDAwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjU1MCIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDE0MDAgNTUwIj48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojY2ZkNGRiO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg== "Laparoscopic_myomectomy_in_Mumbai (1) - Saraogi Hospital") # Laparoscopic Myomectomy in Mumbai Uterine fibroids are one of the most frequent problems in women’s gynecology, which may cause excessive bleeding during menstruation, pelvic pains, discomfort due to pressure, as well as infertility issues.

One such case involved a 42-year-old woman who came to us after multiple failed IVF attempts, recurrent pregnancy losses, and a life-threatening pregnancy complication in the past. With a carefully planned IVF approach and close medical supervision, we were able to help her conceive successfully, and she is now carrying a healthy twin pregnancy. This case study highlights the meticulous planning and multidisciplinary care that made this high-risk IVF journey possible. ## The Patient’s Background A 42-year-old woman and her 38-year-old husband approached us in June 2025 with an extremely challenging obstetric and infertility history. The couple had been married for over 16 years and had undergone multiple fertility treatments over the past decade, with repeated pregnancy losses and serious medical complications. Their journey included four failed IVF cycles and one natural conception, all ending in miscarriage or fetal loss. The first IVF, performed five years earlier using self-eggs and self-sperm, resulted in an early miscarriage at two months due to absent fetal heart activity. A subsequent IVF attempt using donor eggs and donor sperm progressed until 24–25 weeks, when the patient developed severe hypertension and eclampsia, leading to a stroke (GTCS episode). An emergency preterm cesarean section was performed to save the mother’s life, but the baby could not be saved. Following this, the patient underwent another IVF cycle using self-eggs and self-sperm, which again ended in an early miscarriage. Around four years ago, she conceived naturally, but this pregnancy also ended at two months due to absent cardiac activity, requiring D&C. Given this history of recurrent pregnancy loss and intrauterine fetal death, the patient was further evaluated and diagnosed with autoimmune abnormalities, including ANA positivity and [antiphospholipid ](https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/antiphospholipid-syndrome/symptoms-causes/syc-20355831)antibody (APLA) positivity, which significantly increased her risk of pregnancy rejection, miscarriage, preeclampsia, and early preterm delivery. ## The Challenges Faced by the Medical Team This case presented multiple high-risk factors that required meticulous planning and close monitoring: - ### Advanced maternal age - ### Four previous failed IVF cycles - ### Recurrent early miscarriages - ### History of severe preeclampsia and eclampsia - ### Stroke during pregnancy - ### Autoimmune condition (ANA positive, APLA positive) - ### High risk of pregnancy rejection, hypertension, and preterm delivery Given the complexity of her medical and reproductive history, the case was managed with extreme caution under the guidance of an experienced IVF doctor in Mumbai, Dr. Mohit Saraogi, and a multidisciplinary fertility team. Before proceeding further, a diagnostic hysteroscopy was performed to evaluate the uterine cavity and cervical health carefully, ensuring there were no anatomical or endometrial factors that could further increase the risk of implantation failure or pregnancy loss in this high-risk patient. ## Our Approach and Treatment Plan A thorough and stepwise evaluation was conducted before initiating treatment. Diagnostic hysteroscopy revealed a healthy, roomy uterine cavity with normal endometrium, ruling out uterine structural causes. Hormonal profiles and routine blood investigations were also within acceptable limits. Considering the patient’s age and previous outcomes, we decided to proceed with a donor egg and donor sperm IVF cycle, which became her fifth IVF attempt. The embryos were cultured to the blastocyst stage to improve implantation potential, and a single blastocyst transfer was planned to maximize success while allowing better control over pregnancy complications. The patient conceived successfully in the very first IVF cycle at our center, with strong and reassuring beta-HCG doubling values (1500 to 3000). From the beginning of pregnancy, an intensive medical protocol was initiated to prevent miscarriage and immune-mediated pregnancy rejection. This included: - ### High-dose low molecular weight heparin (blood thinners) - ### Steroid therapy to control autoimmune activity - ### Strict blood pressure monitoring - ### Preventive low-dose antihypertensive medication - ### Regular fetal and maternal surveillance ### A Successful Pregnancy with Some Complications Early ultrasound confirmed a twin pregnancy, with both babies showing strong cardiac activity and appropriate growth. Given the patient’s history of early preterm delivery, she is receiving additional injections to prevent pregnancy rejection, and a cervical cerclage (stitch) has been planned to reduce the risk of cervical incompetence and premature labor. The pregnancy is being managed as extremely high risk, with close coordination between fertility specialists, obstetricians, and physicians. Preventive measures for preeclampsia, eclampsia, and autoimmune flare-ups are being continued, and both maternal and fetal health are being monitored very closely. As of now, the pregnancy is progressing well, offering renewed hope after years of heartbreak and medical challenges. ## Conclusion This case highlights how individualized IVF planning, advanced reproductive techniques, and aggressive medical management can help even the most complex and high-risk patients achieve a successful pregnancy. Women with recurrent IVF failure, autoimmune conditions, and previous pregnancy complications can still have positive outcomes when treated with the right expertise, technology, and long-term care. At our center, we strongly believe that no case is beyond hope, and this successful twin pregnancy stands as a testament to what comprehensive fertility care can achieve. --- ### [41 Year Old Woman’s Successful Pregnancy Through IVF](https://saraogihospital.com/41-year-old-womans-successful-pregnancy-through-ivf/) **Published:** December 26, 2025 **Author:** Dr. Mohit Saraogi **Content:** # 41 Year Old Woman’s Successful Pregnancy Through IVF At Saraogi Hospital’s IRIS IVF Centre, we often see patients with complex medical histories. One such case was that of a 41-year-old woman who came to us after multiple IVF attempts and a history of serious health issues. Despite the many challenges she faced, we were able to help her conceive, and she is now expecting a baby. Here’s how we worked together to make this happen. ## The Patient's Background The patient, a 41-year-old woman, came to us with a history of[ tuberculosis (TB) in the neck](https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9732912/), that started back in 2005. She had undergone treatment for TB for nine months and was later declared free of the disease. However, TB left behind some complications. She continued to deal with lung issues and had to use an inhaler regularly. In 2017, she had open surgery to address endometriosis and fibroids, which further complicated her fertility. On top of that, both her fallopian tubes were blocked, a complication commonly seen in women with a history of TB. After trying two IVF cycles (one using her own eggs in 2023 and one using donor eggs in 2024), both were unsuccessful. So, she turned to us for help. ## The Challenges Faced By The Medical Team When she first came to us on September 14, 2024, we took a close look at her history. There were several factors to consider: E TB that had caused blocked fallopian tubes and potential damage to the cervix and uterus. E Previous surgeries for endometriosis and fibroids. E Two failed IVF cycles, despite using both her own eggs and donor eggs. Our team, led by leading [IVF doctor in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/), Dr. Mohit Saraogi, decided to proceed carefully, first performing a hysteroscopy to get a better idea of the condition of her uterus and cervix, which we knew might have been impacted by the tuberculosis. ## Our Approach and Treatment Plan We started with a hysteroscopy to check the damage TB might have caused to her uterus and cervix. TB can leave the uterine lining thin and scarred, which is a big challenge when trying to conceive. When we performed the procedure, we found a false passage that made it difficult to enter. But we pushed through and found that the uterus itself was actually healthy, with room in the cavity and a good endometrial lining. However, her cervix was tightly closed, most likely from the scarring caused by TB. We needed to do some cervical dilation before we could proceed with the embryo transfer. After two attempts at dilation, we were able to move forward with the next step. For her treatment, we chose a donor egg cycle, using her husband’s sperm. The embryos we created were top quality, Grade A. We then moved forward with a frozen embryo transfer, which we performed under anesthesia to ensure the procedure was as comfortable as possible for her. ## A Successful Pregnancy with Some Complications In the first attempt, she conceived with twins. However, given her age and medical history, she decided to reduce the number of embryos to one to avoid any risks. Her first trimester was challenging, she experienced some bleeding, but we monitored her closely. By the second trimester, things settled down, and everything seemed to be progressing well. Then, around the seventh month of pregnancy, she came to us with abdominal pain, and we admitted her for preterm labor. To help the baby, we gave her injections for lung and brain maturation.

Some doctors can recommend the woman to abstain for a week or two. ##### When will the woman get the next period after the abortion? The menstrual cycle should start three to six weeks after the abortion. Abortion is often accompanied by bleeding and can last for a week or more. This bleeding isn’t the same as a regular menstrual cycle. More severe cramps than usual would almost certainly accompany the first period after the abortion. ##### When can the woman resume normal activities after the abortion? After the treatment, the woman can return home and relax. The next day, she can resume normal activities. Avoid doing activities that make the suffering worse. Whether you are getting oral sedation or narcotic pain killers, don’t drive for at least eight hours after the abortion. Do not drive a car for 24 hours if you take intravenous (IV) medications during the procedure. ##### What are the indications of incomplete abortion? Symptoms of an incomplete abortion include: - Persistent heavy bleeding. - Discharge of blood clots. - Tummy pain that gets worse on cramps or contractions. - Flu-like symptoms or high fever. ##### Is there a need for a follow-up after abortion? A mandatory weekly follow-up is not medically necessary. When a woman wishes, she can get a follow-up appointment.

It is a diagnostic procedure to examine the abdominal and pelvic region of the patient. Laparoscopy involves sending a high-resolution camera through a small tube so that the doctor can have a clear view of the abnormality inside. This real-time viewing of the pelvic region helps the doctor quickly determine the issue and perform an operative procedure. In general, an uncomplicated laparoscopic surgery takes no more than 30 to 60 minutes, and the patient can be discharged in a few hours after the surgery. ## When Is Laparoscopy Recommended?

[Schedule an appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ### Now, let’s discuss the, Steps of Laparoscopic Surgery ### Diagnosis The doctor will ask the patient to take some tests like ultrasound, CT scan, blood analysis, urinalysis, and possible chest X-ray or electrocardiogram. These will help the doctor to analyze the problem in depth. The ultrasound or CT scan is used to determine the severity. The surgeon can use these diagnostics to place the needle in the abdomen during the procedure. It is known as ultrasound or CT-guided needle biopsy. ![Diagnosis](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI0ODEiIGhlaWdodD0iMzA4IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNDgxIDMwOCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Diagnosis - Saraogi Hospital") ### Medication The patient is then given sedatives or anaesthetics before the surgery. Usually, surgeons administer general anaesthesia so that the patient can remain unconscious throughout the surgery. ![Medication](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIzNDkiIGhlaWdodD0iMjYzIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgMzQ5IDI2MyI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Medication - Saraogi Hospital") ### Surgery Preparation Before the surgery and after the sedation process, a breathing tube is passed down the throat for the patient to breathe in case of windpipe collapse due to the effects of anaesthetics. Also, a catheter is placed in the urinary bladder. A catheter is a soft hollow tube passed down to a drainage bag. The catheter helps to drain out the bladder during the surgery. ![Surgery Preparation](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIzMjciIGhlaWdodD0iMjY2IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgMzI3IDI2NiI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Surgery Preparation - Saraogi Hospital") ### Surgery The surgeon makes a small incision (size 1 to 1.5 cm) in the underbelly region. Further, the surgeon inserts a needle or hollow tube termed a trocar into the incision. Then, carbon dioxide gas is transferred through the trocar to bloat the pelvic region so that it bloats the area and makes it easier for the surgeon to work on and view inside. Finally, the surgeon passes a tiny camera (laparoscope) down the trocar to see inside the pelvic region. If necessary, the surgeon also makes few more incisions to view the internal organs better. In gynaecologic laparoscopy, a dye may be injected into the cervix so the surgeon can clearly view the fallopian tubes. ![Surgery](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIzMTAiIGhlaWdodD0iMjUwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgMzEwIDI1MCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Surgery - Saraogi Hospital") ## Laparoscopic Surgeon in Mumbai At Saraogi Hospital, Dr. Roopa Prasad, a proficient laparoscopic surgeon in Mumbai, performs the laparoscopy.

So, the term “test-tube baby” simplifies a child born through IVF. Therefore, there is no differentiation between an IVF baby and a test-tube baby. There are several IVF Centres in Mumbai which offer test tube baby services. But when it is about the best test tube baby treatment in Mumbai that you are looking for, Saraogi Hospital is assuredly one of the top test tube baby centre in Mumbai.

Experts recommend IVF / test tube baby treatment to a woman having obstructed, damaged, or absent fallopian tubes or PCOS or a severe uterine condition like [endometriosis](https://saraogihospital.com/endometriosis-treatment-in-mumbai/). Couples who have difficulties conceiving due to male infertility or unexplained infertility may opt for a test tube baby or IVF treatment. Some of the other reasons behind the need for test tube baby treatment: ^ Woman after 38 years suffers the problem of low ovarian reserve that can be solved through test tube baby treatment. ^ Failure in previous IUI cycles. ^ Use of donor sperm in males who don’t have any sperm in their semen. ^ Women who need to use donor eggs or go through surrogacy treatment. ### Now, let’s discuss, The Actual Process of Test Tube Baby Treatment ^ #### Step 1: Egg production stimulated by hormonal therapy The woman is given injectable GnRHa and gonadotrophin hormones before egg extraction to enhance the synchronized growth and maturity of the follicles inside her ovaries. The complete development of the eggs is done 36 hours before egg extraction by injecting HCG. ^ #### Step 2: Egg retrieval from ovaries The fertility specialist administers mild sedative or anaesthesia to ensure that the woman does not feel any pain or discomfort throughout the egg retrieval procedure. The fertility specialist collects eggs from the woman’s ovaries using a vaginal ultrasound probe with a fine hollow needle attached. These samples are delivered to the lab as soon as possible. ^ #### Step 3: Collection of the sperm sample The man must provide a fresh semen sample on the same day of the egg retrieval. ^ #### Step 4: Combining eggs and sperms for fertilization In a petri dish, the sperm and eggs are combined and placed in an incubator for a few days. The fertility doctor will examine the eggs for evidence of fertilization. Then, they will monitor the fertilized eggs’ (embryos’) progress during this time. ^ #### Step 5: Insertion of fertilized eggs into the uterine cavity IVF doctor advises the woman to take progesterone or HCG regularly to strengthen and nourish the uterine lining and boost the chances of implantation. Two or three embryos are placed into the woman’s uterus using a thin catheter on the day of embryo transfer. ^ #### Step 6: Pregnancy test The would-be mother should perform a home pregnancy test two weeks after the embryo transfer and report the results to their IVF doctor. The results of the test will determine the future course of IVF treatment.

In young women, the average test tube baby or IVF treatment success rate is around 40% worldwide. Women below 35 years have a higher chance of success than older women. The success rate of this most widely used assisted reproductive technology is usually calculated based on the number of live births every embryo transfer. ### What are the risks involved in test tube baby treatment? Not all pregnancies result in a baby for individuals who become pregnant through IVF: A little more than a quarter of all IVF cycles result in a live birth. Another downside of IVF is that it requires an operative procedure, which involves infection, anaesthesia, and bleeding risks. ### What is the difference between IVF and test tube baby treatment? The term “test-tube baby” is a non-medical term for IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) that was popular decades ago. The term “test-tube baby” came about due to the widespread belief that an embryo is created in a test tube instead of a woman’s fallopian tube. The egg and sperm are fertilized in a petri dish. Hence the term in-vitro refers to the process of fertilization within a glass culture dish instead of in-vivo, which relates to fertilization within a living body. Therefore, there is no difference between an IVF and a test tube baby treatment. It is important to understand that whether the baby is referred to as a test tube baby or an IVF baby, he or she is human and as natural as any other baby in every way.

[Schedule an appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) **First, let’s know,** ## Who is suitable for using a donor egg treatment? - Women who cannot produce eggs due to reasons such as age or untimely menopause. - Women who have a low possibility of success in getting pregnant utilizing their eggs. - Women who are diagnosed with fertility challenges. - Women with eggs carrying a risk of hereditary disorder. - Women with impaired ovaries due to some medical treatments such as cancer treatment. ### How much is the egg donation treatment cost in Mumbai?

The price of egg donation treatment in Mumbai may vary among different [IVF centres](https://www.clinicspots.com/hospitals/ivf-in-vitro-fertilization/mumbai). If additional ART procedures are required, it may increase the treatment price. **Now, let’s see the,** ## Application of IVF with Donor Eggs In IVF with egg donation, eggs donated by a donor are used. The woman who donates her egg is known as the egg donor. And the woman who receives the fertilized eggs is known as the recipient. ### What are the steps of IVF using a donor egg? ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MDYiIGhlaWdodD0iMjg2IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjA2IDI4NiI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "steps-of-ivf - Saraogi Hospital")The process of egg donation and implantation is similar to conventional IVF treatment. After a thorough examination, the woman receiving the donor egg will need a course of hormonal medications to set her for fertilized egg (embryo). If her ovaries are functional, she will need progesterone and estrogen treatments to make her cycle concur precisely with the donor. Further, the donor is also treated with hormones to induce superovulation. When the egg donor is ready, the eggs are recovered and treated with the husband’s sperm. After a few days, the resulting embryos are implanted in the recipient’s uterus, and then she will continue on hormones for about ten weeks. Further, the [IVF doctor](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/) monitors the recipient for signs of pregnancy. Trust our specialists for a seamless egg donation process. [Schedule an appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## Let’s know the Types of Egg donors ### 1. Known Egg Donors Known egg donors are women known to the recipient couple like a relative or friend. There are several benefits of having someone you know provide the eggs for your[IVF procedure](https://saraogihospital.com/infertility-treatment-mumbai/), like knowing the eggs’ genetic origin and shorter waiting period. The egg donor will have to visit the clinic with the intended couple for the entire procedure. ### 2. Clinic-recruited donor When an egg donor is unknown to a couple, it is called a clinic-recruited egg donor. In this case, the recipient woman has never met the egg donor. Also, the egg donor has the choice to remain anonymous to the recipient. In most cases, frozen eggs from the egg bank are used, or the fertility clinic will recruit the egg donor. In a way, this reduces a couple of insecurities as the egg donor is not known to them, and the agreement is entirely between the fertility clinic and them. #### How are the egg donors screened for donation? The egg donor will have to undergo screening and blood tests to determine her candidacy. Women above 35 years are not preferred for egg donation as there is an increased risk of medical issues such as miscarriage and chromosomal abnormalities. ### Now, let’s understand, The process of choosing the egg donor At Saraogi Hospital, our [IVF doctor in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/) will explain the entire procedure of using donor eggs with IVF.

Let Saraogi Hospital assist you in conceiving a child through egg donation treatment in Mumbai. Contact us and plan a consultation with our [fertility specialist](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/). ## Frequently Asked Questions ##### Q.1: Do egg donors have parental rights? A thoroughly composed egg donor agreement will clearly state that the egg donor will not have a parent-child relationship with any child born due to their donated eggs. ##### Q.2: Will the baby have the egg donor’s DNA? Yes, as the baby’s DNA will only develop from the egg donor and the sperm provider. Though you will not share any genetic information with the child, you will be the baby’s birth mother. ##### Q.3: How long is the donor egg process? An egg donation cycle takes three to six months to complete, from initial screening to the actual egg retrieval and embryo transfer, based on the type of egg donation program the recipient chooses. ##### Q.4: Is egg donation a painful process? During the stimulation phase, an egg donor may feel slight bloating and irritation. The egg retrieval is carried under anaesthesia, so the donor will not feel any pain during the process. ##### Q.5: Can egg donors have babies in the future? Yes. The egg donation procedure doesn’t affect the egg donor’s future ability to conceive babies. Women are born with nearly two million eggs. Every month, a group of eggs enters the maturation phase, but the body chooses only one egg each cycle to ovulate while the body absorbs the rest. --- ### [Cancer Screening for Gynecology](https://saraogihospital.com/oncologists-mumbai/) **Published:** July 1, 2024 **Author:** Dr. Mohit Saraogi **Content:** # Cancer Screening for Gynecology ### Pap Smear A periodic Pap smear is recommended for all sexually active women above the age of 21.

It aids in the transfer of sperm from the vagina to the fallopian tubes by overcoming natural barriers. The IUI procedure involves introducing sperms into the uterus, where they will continue their path toward the egg cells and fertilize them to achieve pregnancy. ## What is the IUI treatment cost in Mumbai? The IUI treatment in Mumbai is one of the common and least costly fertility treatments compared to [IVF](https://saraogihospital.com/infertility-treatment-mumbai/), [ICSI](https://saraogihospital.com/icsi-treatment-in-mumbai/), and [IMSI](https://saraogihospital.com/imsi-treatment-in-mumbai/). IUI is a less invasive and less expensive alternative to IVF. As a result, it is also the preferred choice for single women and lesbians who choose to get pregnant using donor sperm. The [cost of IUI treatment in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/ivf-cost-in-mumbai/) differs from patient to patient based on several factors such as follows- 1. **Location:** The cost of IUI can vary depending on where you live and the specific clinic you go to. Prices tend to be higher in major cities or areas with a high cost of living. 2. **Clinic and Facility Fees:** Different clinics may have varying fee structures, including different charges for consultations, lab work, and the IUI procedure itself. 3. **Number of Cycles:** The success rate of [IUI](https://saraogihospital.com/lower-back-pain-3-days-after-iui/) can be relatively low, and some couples may require multiple cycles to achieve pregnancy. Each cycle incurs additional costs. 4. **Diagnostic Tests:** Before undergoing IUI, you may need to undergo a variety of diagnostic tests such as blood tests, ultrasounds, or sperm analysis. These tests add to the overall cost. 5. **Insurance Coverage:** The cost of IUI can be significantly affected by whether or not you have insurance coverage for fertility treatments. Some insurance plans may cover part or all of the costs associated with IUI, while others may not cover fertility treatments at all. 6. **Additional Procedures:** If additional procedures such as ultrasound monitoring or other treatments (e.g., intracytoplasmic sperm injection) are required, they can increase the overall cost. 7. **Experience and Reputation of the Clinic:** Clinics with more experienced staff or higher success rates may charge more for their services. Embrace hope and fertility with advanced IUI treatment in Mumbai [Schedule an appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## The following are the steps involved in IUI treatment: ### 1. Stimulation of Egg Formation: To promote the growth and development of eggs, the fertility specialist will administer oral or injectable drugs to the female patient. These injections are given in the areas of the stomach or the upper part of the thigh.Depending on how the ovaries respond, the patient will need to take oral medicine for five days and injectables for eight to twelve days. ### 2. Ultrasound monitoring and Blood testing: When taking injectable drugs, the patient can need ultrasound monitoring every two or three days to check the ovaries and egg growth.Blood testing helps to track hormone levels linked to egg development and ovarian function. The fertility experts ensure that everything is running well through this checking and tracking. ### 3. Ovulation induction: The doctor administers injectable (trigger-shot) to the patient. It causes ovulation in around 36 hours. The shot may be provided by a nurse at the clinic or self-administered at home. ### 4. Sperm Preparation: A sperm sample from the male partner is provided, or a [donor sperm](https://saraogihospital.com/donor-sperm-procedure-in-mumbai/) sample is thawed and treated in the lab. The technician will wash the sperm sample and remove immobile sperm and waste materials in the semen during preparation. We will get a high-quality sperm sample at the end. ### 5. Insemination Procedure: A woman lies on a check-up platform, precisely as she does with a routine pelvic exam. The fertility specialist would use a small, long, adjustable catheter to insert the sperm sample into the uterus. The entire procedure is painless and takes only a few minutes. ### 6. Pregnancy Testing: Follow-up blood tests or a urinary pregnancy test kit can evaluate pregnancy within two weeks of insemination.

This condition affects sperm survival before it attaches to the egg. IUI is best for women who have a high-quality egg supply and stable fallopian tubes. We may obtain high-quality sperm samples from a donor or a male partner. Patients who have trouble with vaginal intercourse due to physical difficulty or psychosexual issues can benefit from IUI. IUI is helpful in cases where donor sperm is needed due to severe male infertility or lack of sperm in the husband. Experts also recommend IUI in cases of cervical infections and [endometriosis ](https://saraogihospital.com/endometriosis-treatment-in-mumbai/)in the female partner.

The success rate of IUI treatment is approximately 15% to 20%. However, the success rate is influenced by a variety of factors outside the doctors’ control. However, compared to IVF, the efficacy rates of IUI are lower. ##### Q.2: What is the difference between IUI and IVF? [IVF](https://saraogihospital.com/infertility-treatment-mumbai/) is the process of fertilizing an ovum and sperm outside of the uterus in a laboratory. The resulting embryos are first implanted into the uterus by the infertility doctor. However, in IUI, fertilization occurs after the sperm is injected directly into the uterus. ##### Q.3: Is it possible for sperm to fall out after an IUI process? The sperm does not come out once it is injected into the uterus. Wetness may occur after the IUI process, but this is due to the catheter loosening the cervical mucus. ##### Q.4: Does it take longer to achieve pregnancy with IUI? Often, IUI fertilization will occur in a day or two after the procedure. Sperm can last for up to seven days within the female reproductive tract. If ovulation is delayed, sperm could fertilize the egg up to seven days later. ##### Q.5: Is IUI less expensive than IVF? IUI is much less effective than IVF, and couples may need numerous rounds before conceiving, bringing the total cost closer to half that of IVF. ##### Q.6: Are IUI babies healthy? This procedure has an extremely low risk of any other medical issues or congenital impairments. As a result, IUI is risk-free. In most cases, there are no severe complications associated with IUI. However, specific problems may develop. ##### Q.7: How much does IUI treatment cost in Mumbai? Compared to [IVF](https://saraogihospital.com/infertility-treatment-mumbai/), [ICSI](https://saraogihospital.com/icsi-treatment-in-mumbai/), and [IMSI](https://saraogihospital.com/icsi-treatment-in-mumbai/), IUI is one of the most common and least expensive reproductive treatments in Mumbai. At Saraogi, we charge Rs.10,000 to Rs.15,000 for IUI treatment in Mumbai. IUI is a less invasive and less costly method of conception than IVF. As a result, it is the favoured method for single women and lesbians who wish to conceive using donor sperm. [IUI treatment cost in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/ivf-cost-in-mumbai/) varies from one patient to the next, depending on various criteria such as location, experience and reputation of the clinic, insurance coverage, diagnostic tests etc. --- ### [Egg freezing in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/egg-freezing-in-mumbai/) **Published:** December 31, 2024 **Author:** Dr. Mohit Saraogi **Content:** ![Egg_freezing](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxNDAwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjU1MCIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDE0MDAgNTUwIj48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojY2ZkNGRiO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg== "Egg_freezing_in_Mumbai - Saraogi Hospital") # Egg freezing in Mumbai - View Cost Life doesn’t always follow a set timeline, and that’s okay.

We offer a whole range of advanced treatments and procedures using cutting-edge equipment and technology. IMSI treatment in Mumbai is one such advanced technology that we provide to help you realize your dream of becoming a parent. Over the years, we have successfully treated 18000+ patients. IMSI (intracytoplasmic morphologically selected sperm injection) is a technique used in [IVF treatments.](https://saraogihospital.com/infertility-treatment-mumbai/) It is an enhanced version of ICSI in which high-quality sperm is injected into the egg for fertilization. The best sperm cells are selected using a high-powered microscope which is then used for the [ICSI procedure](https://saraogihospital.com/icsi-treatment-in-mumbai/). ICSI uses a magnification of x400, while IMSI uses an amplification of 6600X, which is at least 15 times higher. It permits a more precise examination of the sperm, including the nucleus, which includes the genetic material of the sperm. This procedure has resulted in a higher rate of pregnancy and childbirth, and a lower rate of abortion. IMSI treatment in Mumbai is a good option for anyone who has previously failed IVF cycles or couples with male infertility. Also, the [IMSI & IVF treatment cost in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/ivf-cost-in-mumbai/) at IRIS IVF Centre is affordable compared to other clinics.

Before the IMSI treatment, our embryologist uses centrifugation to separate the viable cells. ### Step II: Sperm selection ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI0MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjgzIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNDAwIDY4MyI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "still-life-world-science-day-chemistry-composition-1024x683 - Saraogi Hospital")To choose the most suitable sperm for injecting into the egg, our embryologist will analyze the sperm under a high magnification microscope. IMSI uses a high magnification of about 6600X to determine the sperm morphology. Only morphologically normal sperm are chosen for injection into the egg by the embryologist. These sperm have a higher pregnancy rate. Through the microscope, we can observe the minuscule vacuoles. We will not select sperms having an abnormal head size and large vacuoles. IMSI helps in choosing the most suitable sperm. ### Step III: Egg selection Under ultrasound guidance, a needle is inserted transvaginally to aspirate the egg follicles and extract the eggs. The eggs are washed with an enzyme to extract unnecessary components after being collected. They are then examined under a microscope to determine which eggs are healthy and mature. ### Step IV: Sperm injection The doctor will place the chosen sperm in the pipette under the microscope and inject it into the egg. The injected eggs will be cultured in a sterile culture petri dish overnight in an incubator. We will check the microinjected eggs for signs of fertilization at regular intervals. Once they are fertilized, they are known as embryos. After a few days, our [IVF specialist](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/) will transfer 1-2 embryos into the uterus. We will do a urinary pregnancy test after two weeks to confirm pregnancy. Elevate your fertility treatment with advanced IMSI technology in Mumbai [Schedule an appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## What is the purpose of an IMSI? IMSI treatment in Mumbai improves the chances of embryo fertilization and growth, particularly for those who have had unsuccessful IVF or ICSI treatment or males with a high number of abnormal sperms. IMSI helps select sperm with extreme precision. It includes evaluating sperm at a thousand-fold higher magnification. Minor morphological sperm defects, which are generally overlooked with ICSI, may thus be observed. The sperms in ICSI may appear healthy, but they may not have the ability to fertilize. With IMSI, males with low sperm count, reduced motility, or poor morphology may have better-selected sperm and a higher fertilization rate. IMSI is more effective than ICSI, thus resulting in a higher success rate. At IRIS IVF Centre, we have seen that IMSI improves clinical pregnancy rates in our patients. In certain cases, it has also reduced abortion rates. The IMSI-selected viable sperms can be used in IVF or ICSI treatments to improve the chances of a successful outcome. #### Who is a good candidate for an IMSI treatment? ##### Our IVF specialist recommends the IMSI treatment in Mumbai for men suffering from: 1. Irregularly shaped sperms 2. Low amount of sperm in a semen sample 3. Poor sperm motility ##### IMSI is also an excellent option for women in conditions like: 1. Two or more failed ICSI or IVF treatments 2. For women aged 40 years and more 3. Multiple abortions or miscarriages in the past ## What are the benefits of IMSI Treatment? 1. With morphologically regular sperm selection, the risk of miscarriage is reduced in IMSI, as the possibility of genetic abnormality in the embryo is lowered. 2. Improved embryo quality due to IMSI increases the pregnancy rates. 3. Since the intracellular damage is easily detectable in IMSI, the chances of conceiving are high. 4. It may also help couples with [unexplained fertility.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unexplained_infertility) ## What are the disadvantages of IMSI Treatment? 1. IMSI is an advanced technique that is time-consuming. 2. Further, it requires a high-resolution microscope which is not available in all the IVF labs. So, few IVF centres offer IMSI treatment. 3. Also, the [IMSI treatment cost in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/ivf-cost-in-mumbai/) is higher than in ICSI due to ultra-modern technology. ## What is the IMSI success rate in Mumbai? The IMSI success rate in Mumbai is higher than ICSI as it provides a higher rate for pregnancy and live birth. It helps reduce miscarriage, increases implantation, and reduces aneuploidy. Overall, it increases the success rate of [IVF treatment](https://saraogihospital.com/infertility-treatment-mumbai/). ## Frequently Asked Questions ##### Q:1. How much does an IMSI cost in Mumbai? For every infertile couple, the IMSI cost in Mumbai is acceptable and cheap. This treatment package is slightly more expensive than IVF or ICSI because it is one of the most effective male infertility treatments. The cost of IMSI treatment in Mumbai is around Rs.2,50,000; it is a combo of IVF and IMSI. ##### Q:2. Is IMSI superior to ICSI? Clinical IMSI is a successful IVF-ET approach that produces excellent clinical outcomes such as higher implantation and pregnancy rates than traditional ICSI. ##### Q:3. What criteria are used to select the best sperm for ICSI?o ICSI? To begin, a sperm sample is prepared by filtering away low-quality sperm using a variety of methods. The embryologist will also evaluate the remaining “healthy” sperms under a microscope. Then, the embryologist will select the “best sperm” with a fine glass needle. ##### Q:4. How long does it take to find out if you are pregnant following ICSI treatment? After 12 to 14 days of embryo transfer, our [IVF specialist in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/) will schedule a blood test to monitor the hCG hormone level. The examination will reveal if the pregnancy was successful or not. The success rate of ICSI is between 35% and 45%. However, the couple’s health, their egg and sperm quality, and the IVF doctor’s and embryologist’s skill all play a role. ##### Q:5. Is it necessary for the patient to rest following ICSI treatment? The embryo transfer procedure is usually performed two to three days after conception. The patient is recommended to reduce stress, eat a healthy diet, practice yoga, and meditate to relax their minds and bodies. There is no need to stay in bed. A relaxed body and a pleasant mindset improve the odds of a safe pregnancy and childbirth. --- ### [Hysteroscopy Surgery in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/what-is-hysteroscopy/) **Published:** July 2, 2024 **Author:** Dr. Mohit Saraogi **Content:** ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxNDAwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjU1MCIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDE0MDAgNTUwIj48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojY2ZkNGRiO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg== "Hysteroscopy_Surgery_in_Mumbai - Saraogi Hospital") # Hysteroscopy Surgery in Mumbai Hysteroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a small device with a light and a tiny camera to examine the uterus from the inside. Hysteroscopic examinations can be both diagnostic and therapeutic, meaning that the surgeon can make any necessary corrections inside the uterus at the same timewithout needing to make an incision in your abdomen. Hysteroscopy is performed in individuals who have had several IVF failures, or an ultrasound scan reveals a lesion inside the uterus that needs to be corrected. Saraogi Hospital is one of the most preferred centres for hysteroscopy procedure in Mumbai. Since 1980, Saraogi Hospital has been providing excellent and extensive gynecological and obstetric care to its patients. They excel in ectopic pregnancy, high-risk pregnancy, [endometriosis](https://saraogihospital.com/endometriosis-treatment-in-mumbai/), myomectomy, polypectomy, and hysteroscopy procedure in Mumbai.

[Schedule an appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## Diagnostic Hysteroscopy The doctor may recommend hysteroscopy to evaluate some gynecological problems, such as: $ Assess the causes of abnormal uterine bleeding. $ Analyse possible causes of infertility. $ Diagnose the reason for repeated miscarriages. $ Detect benign growths like fibroids, polyps, malformations, or scarring. $ Before a curettage and dilation procedure ![Diagnostic Hysteroscopy](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI4MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNzEwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgODAwIDcxMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Diagnostic Hysteroscopy - Saraogi Hospital") ## Operative hysteroscopy To correct the abnormal uterine conditions that have been found during a diagnostic hysteroscopy, your doctor may use operative hysteroscopy at the same time to avoid a second surgery. Small instruments are passed through the hysteroscope to correct the condition. $ Remove benign growths from your uterus, such as fibroids and polyps. $ Obtain a tissue sample from the lining of your uterus. $ Detect the location of an IUD. $ Place small implants in your fallopian tubes as a form of permanent birth control. $ Locate and remove uterine adhesions, which can cause changes in menstrual bleeding and infertility. The hysteroscopy is done with the help of an instrument called the hysteroscope. It has tubes in it with an in-flow and out-flow of gas or liquid to expand the uterine cavity, a light source tube, and a tube carrying the small camera, which helps the surgeon view the contents. ## What is the hysteroscopy procedure in Mumbai? Before your procedure, you may be given either general, regional, or local anesthesia. ### Procedure $ Your doctor will begin by inserting a speculum to spread open the walls of your vagina. $ Next, your doctor will use instruments called dilators to open up your cervix. $ They will guide a hysteroscope through your vagina and into your uterus. $ They will inject gas or fluid into your uterus to expand it, making it easier to find abnormal tissue. $ The camera transmits images of your uterus to a screen. $ If there is a need for surgery, small instruments are inserted through the hysteroscope into the uterus. ![hysteroscopic](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI4MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNTUxIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgODAwIDU1MSI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "hysteroscopic- - Saraogi Hospital") Depending on what is being done, the procedure might take anywhere from 5 minutes to 30 minutes. Hysteroscopy can be performed with only local or regional anesthetic for most diagnostic purposes, even when tiny polyps are removed. When hysteroscopy is combined with a more extensive surgical procedure, the doctor will administer regional or general anesthetic based on the extent of the surgery. ## Recovery The purpose of the hysteroscopy will determine the period of recovery. However, there are some common side effects following any hysteroscopy surgery. You might have the following symptoms: $ Cramping $ For a day or two, there may be some bleeding or spotting. $ Shoulderache (if carbon dioxide gas was used) $ Nausea $ Dizzinessor light-headedness Following the hysteroscopy, you will be able to eat and drink immediately. Your doctor may prescribe pain medication to help you recover more quickly. If surgery is involved, your doctor may advise you to rest for a day or two before returning to your regular routine. For recovery, follow your doctor’s instructions. You should avoid sexual activity for roughly a week after a hysteroscopy that isnot solely diagnostic. It decreases the risk of infection. ## What are the risks of hysteroscopy? $ Infection $ Bleeding $ Damage to the cervix $ Complications due to the fluid or gas used $ Damage to organs like ovaries, bladder, or bowels $ Pelvic inflammatory disease You should immediately contact your doctor if you have the following issues: $ Severe pain which does not subside even after the consumption of pain-killers $ Abnormally heavy bleeding $ Fever $ Chills Trust our specialists for precise and effective hysteroscopy procedures. [Schedule an appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## Frequently Asked Questions ##### What are the advantages of hysteroscopy? The advantages of hysteroscopy are as follows: - Quick recovery - Shorter stay at the hospital - Helps avoid open abdominal surgery - Lesser pain ##### Will I have to stay overnight in the hospital after a hysteroscopy? Generally, an overnight stay in the hospital is not necessary as it is a minor outpatient procedure. However, if you have any complications due to anesthesia, you may have to stay at the hospital. ##### Who is an ideal candidate for hysteroscopy? Hysteroscopy may not be appropriate for all individuals despite its numerous advantages. The procedure will be performed after proper examination by the doctor. --- ### [ICSI Treatment in Mumbai](https://saraogihospital.com/icsi-treatment-in-mumbai/) **Published:** July 4, 2024 **Author:** Dr. Mohit Saraogi **Content:** ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxNDAwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjU1MCIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDE0MDAgNTUwIj48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojY2ZkNGRiO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg== "Frozen_Embryo_Transfer_Treatment_in_Mumbai_(2) - Saraogi Hospital") # ICSI Treatment in Mumbai ICSI treatment is a boon for couples struggling to conceive due to infertility problems, especially male factor infertility.

Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is an advanced assisted reproduction method in which a single sperm cell is injected into a mature egg. Fertility specialists mostly recommend ICSI in case of male infertility or after failed IVF cycles. ## Step by step ICSI Treatment Procedure ### Step I: Sperm collection In ICSI, we retrieve the sperm from a semen sample or a Testicular Epididymal Sperm Aspiration (TESA). It requires inserting a needle directly into the testicle and aspirating the sperm. The sperm extraction process may be done earlier in some cases, and the sperm is frozen. ### Step II: Sperm selection During the ICSI procedure, our embryologist will choose the healthiest sperm with good DNA integrity to combine with the eggs for fertilization. ### Step III: Egg retrieval Egg extraction is done under transvaginal ultrasound guidance after controlled ovarian stimulation. We will insert a needle through the vagina into the ovary and then into the egg follicle to extract the eggs. The embryologist examines the oocytes under a microscope for assessment of maturity and prepares them. In ICSI, we only use genetically mature eggs. ### Step IV: Sperm injection Our embryologist will place the single sperm in the glass injection pipette in such a way that the head enters the egg first. Under the microscope, we will inject the sperm into the mature egg. It gives a helping hand to the sperm to penetrate the egg. We will regularly check the egg for signs of fertilization. ### Step V: Embryo transfer The process of fertilization takes place after the microinjection of the sperm directly into the egg. The fertilized eggs are known as embryos. Our [fertility specialist](https://saraogihospital.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-mumbai/) will transfer the embryos to the uterus after 3-5 days. In some cases, we will wait till the blastocyst stage to transfer the eggs to the uterus. Our goal is to transfer the highest-quality embryo to give you a better chance of success. To determine the pregnancy, the woman has to undergo a urinary pregnancy test after two weeks of embryo transfer. Depending on the result, the future course of treatment is planned.

Our doctors recommend ICSI treatment in Mumbai to overcome extreme male infertility like: 1. **Oligospermia:** Oligospermia is a medical condition where the sperm count decreases for a variety of reasons. A decline in sperm count makes it difficult to become a biological parent. ICSI is usually the treatment of choice if you are unsuccessful even after trying other alternative treatment methods. 2. **Teratozoospermia:** Teratozoospermia is the irregular morphology (shape) of sperm caused by a defect in the head, midpiece, or tail. Natural reproduction is hampered by abnormal sperm morphology. As a result, the ICSI procedure is commonly used to achieve pregnancy. 3. **Asthenozoospermia:** Asthenozoospermia is poor sperm motility. Metabolic deficiencies or other ultrastructural anomalies cause this disorder. It is one of the leading causes of male infertility, reducing the possibility of pregnancy. In this case, ICSI can increase the chances of conceiving. ## Other factors for the use of ICSI are: - The use of frozen oocytes could cause the eggshells to harden. In such instances, we recommend ICSI. - Despite healthy eggs and sperm, the egg does not fertilize. - ICSI is the only insemination process that avoids polyspermy when embryos need to be screened for gene defects by preimplantation genetic testing. - ICSI is the recommended form of insemination for HIV-discordant couples as it prevents oocyte-semen contact, lowering the risk of viral exposure. ## What are the benefits of ICSI Treatment? In ICSI, a low sperm count is not a problem. The embryologist uses special instruments and a high magnification microscope to select a good-quality sperm.Our infertility specialist recommends ICSI for male infertility issues, such as: - Reduced sperm count - Low sperm motility - Poor sperm quality - Sperm unable to penetrate - For a person who had a vasectomy ICSI has a similar risk of birth defects as IVF, but it is significantly higher than natural conception. This slight increase in risk may be attributed to the cause of infertility rather than the procedures used to cure it. Since a low sperm count caused by genetic issues may be passed on to a male infant, you should undergo genetic testing before ICSI. Discover personalized ICSI treatments for your fertility needs. Schedule an appointment. [Schedule an appointment](https://saraogihospital.com/contact/) ## What is the success rate of ICSI Treatment? The ICSI success rate in Mumbai at Saraogi Hospital is around **80%-85%**. Couples with male factor infertility have fertilization rate of **70%- 80%**. This rate is almost equal to a fertilization with normal sperm. ## What are the factors that determine the success of ICSI Treatment? **Egg quality:** High-quality eggs produce good quality embryos capable of surviving the early stages of development and resulting in a successful pregnancy. **Age:** When a woman conceives naturally or by IVF, her age plays an important role. With growing age, a woman’s capacity to conceive decreases. When it comes to fertility treatment, the success rate is higher when the woman is younger. ICSI is less likely to be effective in an older woman with fewer and lower-quality eggs. Follicle production decrease in older women. **Sperm quality:** The quality of sperm can directly impact the development of an embryo. Sperms with regular motility and shape increase the chances of fertilization. ## Meet the best doctors to perform ICSI Treatment in Mumbai: ![Dr-Mohit](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIzMDAiIGhlaWdodD0iMzAwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgMzAwIDMwMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Dr-Mohit - Saraogi Hospital") #### Dr. Mohit R.

The distinction between the two systems is the technique for the end result of fertilisation. In customary IVF, the eggs and sperm are combined in a dish and the sperm prepares the egg ‘normally’. Anyway, to have a shot that this will happen, vast quantities of currently swimming ordinary sperms are required. For some couples, the quantity of appropriate sperm accessible might be exceptionally restricted or there might be different elements that restricts fertilisation, so regular IVF isn’t a choice. ICSI has given a new ray of hope to these couples. The procedure is carried out using micropipettes by trained specialist under 400X magnification. Injection of a single sperm into the egg after magnifying the egg 400 times with a microscope. ##### Who is suitable for IVF Treatment? - Males with a low sperm count. - Males with abnormal or weak sperms. - When the sperm is collected through means of urine or ejaculation. - Males with a lot of antibodies mixed in the sperm quality. - Couples who have had a failed IVF cycle in the past. ##### How Successful is ICSI Treatment?

It is a less intrusive and more affordable choice contrasted with in vitro fertilisation. ##### Who is suitable for IUI Treatment? - Unknown concepts of infertility. - Cervical disorders. - Women with scars on cervical tissues. - Men with ejaculation dysfunctionality. ##### Who is not suitable for IUI Treatment? - Women with severely hampered fallopian tubes. - Women with pelvic infection history. - Women with hyper endometriosis. ##### How Successful is IUI Treatment? The accomplishment of IUI relies upon a few components. If the couple has IUI methodology played out every month, achievement rates may reach as high as 20% for each cycle contingent upon factors, for example, female age, the purpose behind infertility, and whether fertility drugs were utilized, among different factors.

IMSI (Intracytoplasmic Morphologically Selected Sperm Injection) ![imsi](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI0MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iMzY5IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNDAwIDM2OSI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "imsi - Saraogi Hospital")Basically, it is an improved ICSI procedure which is referred to as intracytoplasmic morphologically selected sperm infusion (IMSI). It is a lab procedure utilized for In Vitro Fertilization medications and includes embedding the selected sperm in the egg morphologically. An earlier sperm arranging is directed and those with variations that could obstruct pregnancy are disposed of. IMSI is an ongoing technique where sperm is chosen before the micro-injection happens. This is achieved by utilizing an altered magnifying lens that can give considerably more prominent amplifying power (around 6000 times) than that typically utilized as a part of conceptive research centres (400 times) to complete ICSI. ##### Who is suitable for IMSI Treatment? - Very low sperm count. - A very high ratio of oddly shaped sperms. - Failed ICSI treatments in the past. ##### How successful is IMSI Treatment? Couples who undergo IMSI observe a higher pregnancy rate of 52% than those who undergo ICSI with just 33%. IMSI has proved to be one of the best IVF treatment in Mumbai as the freshness of the technique makes it cover all the gaps that were initially observed while undergoing infertility treatments. ### 5. Ovum Pick up/ Oocyte collection ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI0MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNTA0IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNDAwIDUwNCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4= "Ovum-pick-up - Saraogi Hospital")This is a delicate procedure. In this procedure, a women’s ovaries are stimulated artificially to produce a number of eggs with the help of injections and oral medications. The growth of these follicles (containing eggs) is monitored daily with the help of ultrasonography. It is a dynamic process as the dosage of drugs & injections needs to be adjusted daily based on a woman’s response to the medicines. Each woman’s ovary has a different response and hence the number and dosage of injections cannot be predicted in advance.Once adequate number of follicles are ready, a small surgical procedure is carried out in the operation theatre known as Ovum Pick Up. This is carried out under anaesthesia and involves removal of all the microscopic eggs from the follicles with the help of sonography. The entire procedure of IVF treatment in Mumbai is carried out in a dedicated highly sterile environment (operation theatre) to prevent any kind of contamination to the eggs. The sterile environment is an absolute prerequisite for optimum success rates in IVF/ ICSI cycles. Once the eggs are collected, they are processed in the laboratory and subject to IVF treatment in Mumbai. ##### Who is not suitable for Oocyte Collection? - Women with a low ovarian reserve due to age. - Women with limited oocytes in their ovaries. - Women with low-quality eggs. ##### How Successful is Oocyte Collection? Laparoscopic oocyte collection had an achievement rate of 50 % per follicle in the beginning of IVF. The acquaintance of new instruments with aid laparoscopic oocyte recovery in the expanded success rate to 60-80% for each follicle. ### 6. Embryo Transfer An [embryo transfer](https://saraogihospital.com/frozen-embryo-transfer-treatment-in-mumbai/) is the last piece of the in vitro treatment (IVF) process. Amid IVF, fertility solutions are utilized to fortify the ovaries into discharging fertile eggs. These eggs are then expelled from a lady’s ovaries and prepared in a lab. Once the prepared eggs have increased, the foetuses (eggs) are exchanged to the lady’s uterus. For a pregnancy to start, the foetus should then join itself to the outer layer of her womb or uterus. ##### Who is suitable for Embryo Transfer? - Women with ovulation failures. - Women having fibroids in the uterus. - Women dealing with genetic disorders. - Women suffering from endometriosis. ##### How Successful is Oocyte Collection? There is no measurable distinction between utilizing fresh and frozen eggs. Embryo exchanges utilizing fresh embryos had a 23% pregnancy rate, though frozen fetuses (eggs) have a 25% pregnancy rate. Individual achievement rates can shift and may rely on the reason for infertility, ethnic foundations, and hereditary issues. ### 7. Controlled Ovarian Stimulation (COS) Controlled ovarian stimulation is the stimulation of the ovaries by drugs to produce one or more follicles. (containing eggs/oocytes). It is useful in women who do not undergo timely ovulation. This growth of follicles contains eggs can be monitored by serial ultrasonographic monitoring. With this monitoring the most fertile window for conceiving can be predicted and timely action can be taken as required to assist conception (timed intercourse/ IUI) ### 8. Controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (superovulation) Controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) is a procedure in which the ovaries are experimented by fertility prescription to deliver ovulating eggs. Regularly, a mix of oral fertility prescription and injectable hormones are utilized to stimulate the ovary to create developed follicles. Each developed follicle contains 1 egg that is fit for being treated. In ladies who have sporadic periods and don’t typically ovulate, the objective is to create one developed follicle and re-establish ordinary ovulatory work. In ladies who have standard menses and ovulate every month, controlled ovarian hyperstimulation is utilized to “super ovulate” ladies with expectations of expanding pregnancy rates by delivering 2-3 develop follicles for every month. ## Google Reviews **EXCELLENT** ![Google star 1](https://cdn.trustindex.io/assets/platform/Google/star/f.svg)![Google star 2](https://cdn.trustindex.io/assets/platform/Google/star/f.svg)![Google star 3](https://cdn.trustindex.io/assets/platform/Google/star/f.svg)![Google star 4](https://cdn.trustindex.io/assets/platform/Google/star/f.svg)![Google star 5.0.7](https://cdn.trustindex.io/assets/platform/Google/star/h.svg) Based on **854 reviews** ![Google](https://cdn.trustindex.io/assets/platform/Google/logo.svg) Posted on Google ![Google](https://cdn.trustindex.io/assets/platform/Google/icon.svg) ![Dipti Devne profile picture](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a-/ALV-UjWHqFfZwSq4LIeiQoK3FUUQdj9xMdzISBQ3bF8jxMOmIoQ3PNi-=w40-h40-c-rp-mo-br100) Dipti Devne ![Google star 1](https://cdn.trustindex.io/assets/platform/Google/star/f.svg)![Google star 2](https://cdn.trustindex.io/assets/platform/Google/star/f.svg)![Google star 3](https://cdn.trustindex.io/assets/platform/Google/star/f.svg)![Google star 4](https://cdn.trustindex.io/assets/platform/Google/star/f.svg)![Google star 5](https://cdn.trustindex.io/assets/platform/Google/star/f.svg)Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Very good experience all team are very supportive Posted on Google ![Google](https://cdn.trustindex.io/assets/platform/Google/icon.svg) ![Jawed Akhtar profile picture](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a-/ALV-UjWs_0XAG2PrrzNq8nAKAiVtzro2cHzG6A53WsQWkmHWQbutBkN1=w40-h40-c-rp-mo-br100) Jawed Akhtar ![Google star 1](https://cdn.trustindex.io/assets/platform/Google/star/f.svg)![Google star 2](https://cdn.trustindex.io/assets/platform/Google/star/f.svg)![Google star 3](https://cdn.trustindex.io/assets/platform/Google/star/f.svg)![Google star 4](https://cdn.trustindex.io/assets/platform/Google/star/f.svg)![Google star 5](https://cdn.trustindex.io/assets/platform/Google/star/f.svg)Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Accha tretment mila hamara result positive aaya.

Five years ago, they experienced a natural pregnancy, but it ended in an ectopic pregnancy, which required surgery. The woman had a long history of severe PCOD/PCOS (polycystic ovary disease), which caused very irregular periods. Without medication, she couldn’t get her period at all. She also had excessive facial hair and struggled with obesity. In early January 2024, the couple visited our clinic after having difficulty conceiving again. They were ready to explore treatment options to start their family. ## The First Treatment Attempt The first approach was intrauterine insemination (IUI), but it didn’t work as expected. The woman’s PCOD/PCOS caused issues with follicle development, and she couldn’t release an egg. This led us to consider IVF, which would give us more control over the process. ## IVF Attempt and Early Miscarriage In the first IVF cycle, things seemed to go well. The patient conceived, but sadly, the pregnancy ended in a miscarriage at around six weeks. This setback was hard for the couple, but we kept working to identify any other factors that might affect the pregnancy. ## Diagnosis and Treating Medical Issues To understand the cause of the miscarriage, we performed a [hysteroscopy](https://saraogihospital.com/what-is-hysteroscopy/), which showed a large fundal septum in the uterus. This is a condition where there is an indentation (like a curtain) in the uterus which can make implantation difficult. We performed a surgery called [septoplasty](https://www.drfarahalvi.com/uterine-septoplasty-gynecologic-surgeon-arlington-heights-il.html) to remove the septum. After that, we found that the lining of the uterus was healthy and ready for the next step. While preparing for another embryo transfer, an endometrial polyp was found in the uterus. Polyps can reduce the chances of pregnancy after IVF, so we decided to remove it with another hysteroscopy. After the polyp was removed, we were ready for the next transfer. ## Successful IVF and Pregnancy In 2024, the patient underwent another embryo transfer. This time, the embryo implanted successfully, and the pregnancy progressed well. But at around six months, the woman was admitted to the hospital for preterm labor. She also developed high blood pressure and diabetes, both of which were linked to her PCOD/PCOS. Despite these complications, the pregnancy continued under close monitoring. The team carefully managed her diabetes and blood pressure to keep things on track. In the ninth month, the patient had an elective C-section. She delivered a healthy 2 kg baby, and both mother and baby were in good health. The baby didn’t need any time in the NICU and was able to go home with the mother shortly after birth. ## Outcome This case highlights the challenges the couple faced but also how they overcame them with the right medical interventions. From IVF to surgeries for uterine abnormalities and managing complications during pregnancy, everything came together to help the couple achieve their dream of becoming parents. Despite the obstacles, both the mother and baby were healthy, and the couple could finally start their family. This case shows how careful planning, monitoring, and treating underlying conditions can make a big difference in achieving a successful pregnancy. --- ### [Overcoming Multiple Miscarriages and Medical Challenges for a Successful Pregnancy](https://saraogihospital.com/overcoming-multiple-miscarriages-and-medical-challenges-for-a-successful-pregnancy/) **Published:** December 26, 2025 **Author:** Dr. Mohit Saraogi **Content:** # Overcoming Multiple Miscarriages and Medical Challenges for a Successful Pregnancy At [Saraogi Hospital’s IRIS IVF Centre](https://saraogihospital.com/), we’ve worked with many patients who face complex challenges on their fertility journey. One such case was that of a 33-year-old woman, who had a history of multiple miscarriages and medical complications. Despite facing several setbacks, including a genetic blood disorder and an incompetent cervix, we were able to help her conceive and deliver a healthy baby. Here’s how we worked together to turn her story into a successful one. ## The Patient's Background The patient, aged 33, had a difficult obstetric history. She had experienced two miscarriages, both of which occurred after she had conceived through IUI (Intrauterine Insemination) outside. Unfortunately, both pregnancies ended in the third month, but genetic testing of the miscarried tissue came back normal, offering little explanation. In addition to the miscarriages, she had undergone several unsuccessful IUI cycles and natural cycles, which further added to her frustration. A significant part of the patient’s medical history was her diagnosis of [genital tuberculosis](https://www.glowm.com/section-view/heading/Tuberculosis%20of%20the%20Female%20Genital%20Tract/item/34), which we believed was a major factor in her failed attempts to conceive. To further complicate things, she had also undergone hysteroscopy and laparoscopy, revealing evidence of old infections. On top of that, both Vaishali and her husband tested positive for syphilis (VDRL positive), which added another layer of complexity to her case. Despite all these challenges, she remained hopeful and came to us seeking a solution. ## The Challenges Faced By The Medical Team When the patient came to us, we took a comprehensive approach to address all her issues. We started her on IVF injections, and her response was excellent—21 eggs were retrieved, giving us three straws of Grade A embryos, which provided a solid backup for future cycles. Her first IVF cycle was in April 2024. She successfully conceived with the first transfer, but the pregnancy came with complications. Early in the pregnancy, Vaishali’s cervix began to open up, which is a common issue for women with a history of cervical incompetence. To address this, we decided to perform a cervical stitch after the third month to help hold the pregnancy. However, the patient faced several challenges during her first trimester. She experienced multiple episodes of bleeding, and her blood type was A-negative, which posed a risk for blood group incompatibility between her and the baby. To prevent any potential complications, we administered injections to avoid blood mixing and further miscarriages. Despite these efforts, the pregnancy progressed only until 20 weeks, and unfortunately, she lost the twin babies due to preterm labor in the fifth month. ## Testing and Further Treatment After the loss, we gave the patient a six-month break before moving forward. During this time, we tested her for underlying causes of her miscarriages. Our tests revealed that she was positive for Protein S deficiency, a blood clotting disorder that had not been detected before. This condition was likely contributing to her repeated pregnancy losses, especially in the second trimester. Additionally, we identified her ongoing issue with an incompetent cervix, which made it harder for her body to carry a pregnancy to term. Armed with this new information, we adjusted her treatment plan. In April 2025, we moved forward with another IVF cycle, now fully aware of the medical issues at hand. We treated Vaishali for her Protein S deficiency, her cervical incompetence, and her negative blood group status. This time, we were determined to give her the best possible chance. ## A Successful Pregnancy The IVF transfer was a success. The patient conceived again, this time with a single baby. We performed a laparoscopic cerclage procedure to address her incompetent cervix. During this procedure, a stitch was placed through her abdomen using a telescope to reinforce her cervix, preventing it from opening prematurely. With this added precaution, the pregnancy progressed smoothly for several months. However, at 26 weeks, She went into preterm labor. She was admitted immediately, and an emergency C-section was performed. The baby, a girl, was born weighing just 700 grams but let out a healthy cry right away. Due to the premature birth, the baby was transferred to a neonatal care unit in Mumbai for specialized care. ## The Happy Ending After a month in the NICU, the patient’s baby girl was completely healthy and ready to go home. The mother and baby were discharged, both doing well. This case highlights the importance of comprehensive testing, personalized care, and perseverance in the face of challenges. With the right support and medical interventions, even the most complicated cases can lead to a happy and healthy outcome. --- ### [Privacy Policy](https://saraogihospital.com/privacy-policy/) **Published:** June 21, 2024 **Author:** Dr. Mohit Saraogi **Content:** ## Who we are **Suggested text:** Our website address is: https://saraogihospital.com. ## Comments **Suggested text:** When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
