Fertility & Reproductive Medicine

Fertility treatment can be pursued at any age, but success rates are higher in women under 35. However, women over 35 can still achieve successful pregnancies with appropriate treatment. Age affects egg quality and quantity, so early consultation is beneficial.

A typical IVF cycle takes about 4-6 weeks from the start of hormone stimulation to embryo transfer. This includes ovulation induction (10-14 days), egg retrieval, fertilization, embryo culture (5-6 days), and finally the transfer procedure.

Yes, frozen embryos can be stored and used for future pregnancy attempts. Cryopreservation preserves embryo quality, and frozen embryo transfer has excellent success rates, often comparable to fresh embryo transfer.

Success rates vary based on age, egg quality, and individual factors. At Aparna Hospitals, we maintain a 45% pregnancy success rate per cycle. Younger women (under 35) have higher success rates, while success decreases with age.

Male factor infertility can result from low sperm count, poor motility, or abnormal morphology. Treatment options include hormone therapy, lifestyle modifications, surgical procedures, or advanced techniques like ICSI that inject a single sperm directly into an egg.

Success rates are significantly influenced by age. Women under 30 have approximately 50-55% success rate, ages 30-35 have 40-45%, ages 35-40 have 25-35%, and women over 40 have 10-20%. These rates reflect the quality and quantity of eggs available at each age.

Fertility treatments are generally safe when administered by experienced specialists. Rare complications include ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) and infection. Our team minimizes risks through careful monitoring and personalized protocols.

Common side effects of hormone stimulation include mild headaches, mood changes, bloating, and breast tenderness. These are usually temporary and subside after treatment. Serious complications are rare but our medical team monitors all patients closely throughout the cycle.

Single embryo transfer minimizes the risk of multiple pregnancies. When multiple pregnancies occur, our team provides specialized prenatal care and monitoring to ensure the safety and wellbeing of both mother and babies throughout the pregnancy.
