For many couples, becoming parents is not always an easy journey and at CMRI Hospital, Kolkata, we completely understand this. That is why our advanced fertility centre offers expertise, the right diagnosis and science-backed fertility treatments under one roof.
With cutting-edge reproductive technologies, including IVF (In Vitro Fertilisation), our highly experienced fertility specialists are here to help you take confident steps towards building your family.
In Vitro Fertilisation, popularly known as IVF, is one of the advanced forms of assisted reproductive technology (ART) used for treating infertility. Unlike natural pregnancy, where an egg and sperm are fertilised inside the female’s uterus, IVF involves fertilisation of an egg with sperm outside the body in a controlled laboratory set-up. Once the embryo is formed, it is transferred into the uterus to achieve pregnancy.
IVF has helped millions of couples across the world who are unable to conceive due to various factors such as:
IVF may be a suitable option for individuals or couples dealing with certain fertility challenges.
IVF is a carefully planned procedure that generally includes the following steps:
A detailed consultation and medical evaluation is required, which may include hormonal tests, ultrasound scans, and semen analyses to identify the underlying cause of infertility. This is important to create a personalised plan, since everyone has unique needs.
Your IVF treatment begins with ovarian stimulation. It is an essential step where hormonal medicines are administered to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple mature eggs. The growth of follicles is tracked through regular scans and blood tests.
The process of collecting eggs is called egg retrieval. It is a minimally invasive procedure performed under mild sedation, once the follicles are mature.
The retrieved eggs are fertilised with the partner’s sperm in our advanced and specialised laboratory. The embryos are then cultured and closely monitored for development.
A crucial step in the IVF process, where a healthy embryo is selected and transferred into the uterus. This is a simple and painless procedure performed under ultrasound guidance.
A beta-hCG blood test is done after two weeks, which is a standard test to confirm pregnancy.
IVF has proved to be beneficial for many couples struggling with pregnancy delay, and where other treatments like IUI didn’t work.

Your fertility specialist will tell you about all possible risks and take necessary precautions to ensure your safety.
