What is IVF?

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is a sophisticated infertility treatment for infertility. It is the process of stimulating the ovaries of a female to produce multiple eggs, which are then retrieved and combined with sperm in the laboratory. The embryos formed are monitored and the best embryos are transferred into the uterus.

 

Our IVF Process

1. Pre-Treatment Consultation

  • A thorough evaluation of your medical history, fertility issues, and previous treatments, if any.
  • Comprehensive testing, including hormonal evaluations, ultrasound scans, and semen analysis.
  • Discussion of treatment options and development of a personalized IVF plan to suit your needs.

2. Ovarian Stimulation

  • Fertility medications are prescribed to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs.
  • Close monitoring through blood tests and ultrasounds to track egg development.

3. Egg Retrieval (Aspiration)

  • The eggs are carefully retrieved from the ovaries through a minimally invasive procedure performed under sedation.
  • This procedure is typically done within a short timeframe (around 10-14 days after stimulation).

4. Fertilization

  • The eggs are fertilized in the laboratory using sperm from the male partner or a sperm donor.
  • The fertilization process is monitored closely, and the best quality embryos are selected for transfer.

5. Embryo Transfer

  • One or more healthy embryos are transferred into the woman’s uterus, guided by ultrasound.
  • This is a painless procedure with minimal discomfort.

6. Pregnancy Test

  • About 10-12 days after the embryo transfer, a blood test is conducted to check for pregnancy.
  • If successful, a follow-up ultrasound will be scheduled to confirm the pregnancy and monitor the developing fetus.
Pregnancy Test

At International Hospital, we give you reliable and accurate pregnancy testing to provide you with assurance of your pregnancy. If you are pregnant or planning to get pregnant, our test services are meant to provide you with quick results and helpful support.

Types of Pregnancy Tests We Offer:

1. Urine Pregnancy Test

  • How it works: The test detects the hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) hormone in the urine, which is produced during pregnancy.
  • When to take it: It’s most accurate when taken after a missed period. We recommend waiting at least a week after your period is due for the most reliable results.
  • Procedure: A simple urine sample is required. Results are available within minutes.

2. Blood Pregnancy Test (Beta hCG)

  • How it works: This test measures the exact concentration of hCG in the blood, providing more accurate results than a urine test.
  • When to take it: It can detect pregnancy as early as 7-10 days after ovulation, often before a missed period.
  • Procedure: A blood sample is taken, and the results typically come back within a few hours.
  • Benefits: This test is more sensitive and can detect pregnancy earlier, and is particularly useful for women who may have irregular periods.

Blood Pregnancy Test (Beta hCG)

The Blood Pregnancy Test (Beta hCG) is a highly reliable and accurate pregnancy test that identifies pregnancy by measuring the level of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in the blood. hCG is a hormone released by the placenta shortly after a fertilized egg implants in the uterine lining.

What is a Blood Pregnancy Test (Beta hCG)?

  • Beta hCG is the specific form of the hormone hCG that is measured in the blood.
  • This test can detect pregnancy earlier than a urine pregnancy test because hCG is present in the blood shortly after conception.
  • The test is typically performed when a woman is suspected to be pregnant, particularly when the urine test is inconclusive or when very early pregnancy confirmation is needed.

    How Does the Test Work?

    • A small blood sample is drawn from the patient.
    • The blood is then tested in a lab to measure the level of Beta hCG in the blood.
    • A positive result indicates pregnancy, while a negative result suggests that pregnancy has not occurred.

    Why Choose a Blood Pregnancy Test (Beta hCG)?

    • Early Detection: Can detect pregnancy as early as 7-12 days after conception, even before a missed period.
    • More Accurate: Provides more precise results than urine tests, especially when performed early.
    • Quantitative Test: Measures the exact level of Beta hCG, allowing for monitoring of pregnancy progress and health.
