Whether you’re considering IUI, IVF, or advanced treatments like ICSI or egg donation, knowing what to expect can help you plan better and reduce stress.
Understanding Fertility Treatments
Fertility procedures vary widely in terms of timeframes, complexity, and success rates. Each couple’s journey is unique, and timelines may differ based on age, medical history, and the specific treatment being followed. At Meher IVF Center & Hospital, we offer personalized plans tailored to each individual to ensure efficient treatment with the highest standards of care.
Factors Influencing Treatment Duration
1. Patient’s Age and Health
Older patients or those with underlying health conditions may need more diagnostic evaluations, hormone therapy, or multiple cycles.
2. Type of Fertility Procedure
Simple procedures like IUI take less time compared to more intricate treatments like IVF or ICSI.
3. Response to Medication
Some patients respond quickly to hormonal stimulation, while others might require adjustments, extending the duration.
4. Need for Additional Procedures
For some, procedures like hysteroscopy, laparoscopy, or genetic testing may add to the timeline.
