Your Complete Journey Through the IVF Procedure in Bangalore with Sattva Fertility
Step 1: Initial Consultation and Evaluation
Your IVF journey begins with a comprehensive consultation at our Fertility Clinic in Bangalore. During your first visit, you’ll meet Dr. Rathnamani H. Arkachari, who will carefully review your medical history, conduct fertility assessments for both partners, and recommend the best course of action based on your individual needs.
Diagnostic tests typically include:
- Hormonal blood tests
- Ultrasounds to assess ovarian reserve and uterus health
- Semen analysis for male partners
- Additional specialized tests if required
The goal of this stage is to identify any underlying conditions and customize a treatment plan that maximizes your chances of success.
Step 2: Pre-Treatment Preparation
Once the evaluation is complete, you’ll receive a personalized preparation plan. This might include:
- Lifestyle adjustments like dietary changes, exercise, and stress management
- Treatment of underlying issues such as thyroid disorders, infections, or fibroids
- Pre-treatment counseling to ensure you’re mentally and emotionally prepared
Our compassionate team at Sattva Fertility ensures that you are supported every step of the way, preparing you physically and emotionally for the IVF cycle ahead.
Step 3: Ovarian Stimulation
The IVF process officially begins with ovarian stimulation. You’ll receive hormonal injections to encourage the ovaries to produce multiple mature eggs. This phase typically lasts around 10 to 12 days, during which we’ll monitor you closely with blood tests and ultrasounds.
The objective here is to retrieve multiple eggs to maximize the chances of creating high-quality embryos.
Step 4: Egg Retrieval (Ovum Pick-up)
Once the eggs are mature, egg retrieval is scheduled. This minor surgical procedure is performed under anesthesia and usually takes about 20–30 minutes.
Using ultrasound guidance, the eggs are carefully collected from the ovaries. Most patients return home a few hours after the procedure and are advised to rest for the day.
At this point, our advanced embryology team, supported by cutting-edge technologies at our IVF Center in Bangalore, takes over to ensure the best fertilization outcomes.
Step 5: Fertilization and Embryo Development
After egg retrieval, your eggs are fertilized with your partner’s sperm (or donor sperm if required) in our laboratory. In some cases, Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is performed, where a single sperm is directly injected into an egg to aid fertilization.
The fertilized eggs (now embryos) are cultured for 3–5 days under optimal laboratory conditions. We monitor their development closely to select the healthiest embryos for transfer.
Step 6: Embryo Transfer
Embryo transfer is a simple and painless procedure that typically takes just a few minutes. Using a thin catheter, one or two embryos are gently placed into your uterus.
At Sattva Fertility, we prioritize single embryo transfer when appropriate to reduce the risk of multiple pregnancies, without compromising the chances of success.
After the embryo transfer, you’ll be advised to rest briefly and continue prescribed medications to support implantation.
Step 7: The Two-Week Wait
The waiting period between embryo transfer and the pregnancy test can be emotionally challenging. You might experience symptoms like mild cramping, bloating, or breast tenderness — which could be related to the medications or early signs of pregnancy.
Our team is available throughout this phase to provide reassurance, answer questions, and offer emotional support.
Step 8: Pregnancy Test
Approximately 12–14 days after the embryo transfer, you’ll return to Sattva Fertility for a blood test to confirm pregnancy. If the result is positive, we’ll schedule early pregnancy scans to monitor the baby’s development.
If the cycle is not successful, Dr. Rathnamani H. Arkachari will meet with you to discuss the next steps, whether it’s another IVF cycle, frozen embryo transfer (FET), or exploring alternative options.
