IVF Treatment in Kolkata - In Vitro Fertilisation

Couples facing issues conceiving a baby for a long time can opt for an IVF treatment in Kolkata. It is a complex series of procedures during which the ovaries of a woman are stimulated to produce eggs, retrieve them, and then fuse them with her partner’s sperm in a laboratory. Post the fertilizing of eggs, the embryo’s development is kept under observation until the embryo is ready to be transferred to a woman’s uterus, to enable the conception of a child through normal pregnancy.

  Step 1: Ovulation Induction

You can visit a gynecology clinic in Kolkata to get IVF treatment. Hormone injections are given to stimulate the Follicle Stimulating Hormone so that it can produce follicles that contain eggs. To stop the production of eggs, another injection is given before beginning the process of collection of eggs.

  Step 2: Monitoring Response

During the two weeks of giving the injections, a woman is scanned to measure the improvement in follicles.

  Step 3: Preparing for Collection

Upon reaching the optimum follicle size (17-22mm), preparations for collection are made for which a hormonal injection is given 36 hours ahead of the process.

  Step 4: Egg Collection

A minor vaginal procedure is conducted through which a needle is inserted through the vaginal wall and into the follicles growing in the ovary for the collection of eggs.

  Step 5: Fertilization and Embryo Culture

Post the collection of eggs, the IVF treatment is conducted in a culture dish by fusing a sperm with the egg. The embryo would be allowed fertilization by incubating it overnight and its development would be observed for two to five days.

  Step 6: Embryo Transfer

Usually, on day 3 or 5, the embryo is transferred to the ovary. You age and quality of embryos determine the success rate of pregnancy.

  Step 7: Post-Transfer

Women are advised to resume their normal activities post-transfer. A pregnancy test would be conducted 12 days to two weeks after egg collection to check if it is positive.
