IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) is a process where eggs and sperm are combined outside the body in a lab to create embryos, which are then transferred to the uterus to help achieve pregnancy.

Possible side effects include mild bloating, mood changes, or cramping due to fertility medications. Serious complications are rare.

Success rates depend on factors like age, medical condition, and clinic expertise. On average, the success rate is higher for women under 35.

While some patients succeed on their first attempt, many require two or three cycles to achieve a successful pregnancy. The number of cycles varies based on individual health factors and age.

The procedure itself isn’t painful, but some women may experience mild discomfort during egg retrieval or hormonal injections, which is temporary and manageable.
