Fertility Care

IVF & Infertility Treatment in Ludhiana

Difficulty conceiving can be an isolating experience. Eva Hospital provides fertility evaluation for both partners and infertility treatment ranging from first-line options to IUI, IVF and ICSI.

Every couple begins with a structured evaluation of the woman, the man, or both in parallel, so that treatment is matched to the cause of the difficulty in conceiving. A fertility laboratory is available for cycles that require one.

A useful starting point

When Should You Consult a Fertility Specialist?

Trying to conceive for 12 months without success

Recurrent pregnancy loss, where appropriate

Previous unsuccessful fertility treatment

Known PCOS, endometriosis, or tubal disease

6 months, if the woman is over 35

Abnormal semen parameters

Sexual or ejaculatory problems

Irregular or absent periods

An important reframing

Understanding Infertility — It Is a Couple's Evaluation

Infertility is not predominantly a female problem. In roughly equal measure, male-factor issues, female-factor issues, a combination of both, or unexplained causes contribute to a couple’s difficulty conceiving.

For this reason, evaluation of both partners is often done in parallel at Eva Hospital, rather than extensively investigating one partner before the other is even assessed.

Fertility Treatments Available at Eva Hospital

IVF

In vitro fertilisation — eggs and sperm are combined outside the body, and a resulting embryo is transferred to the uterus. Considered when simpler treatments are unlikely to succeed or are not appropriate.

ICSI

A single sperm is injected directly into an egg. May be appropriate for selected male-factor infertility or previous fertilisation problems during IVF.

IUI

Intrauterine insemination — a simpler assisted-conception treatment appropriate for selected couples, often tried before more involved treatment.

Egg Freezing

Fertility preservation for women wishing or needing to preserve their reproductive potential for the future.

IVF Is Not the First Treatment for Everyone

Depending on the diagnosis, the right next step might be timing intercourse around ovulation, ovulation-inducing medication, IUI, treatment of an underlying condition such as PCOS or endometriosis, or IVF — with or without ICSI.

IVF Success Rates — What Patients Should Understand

Success with IVF depends on a combination of factors — the woman’s age, ovarian reserve, sperm factors, embryo quality, the underlying diagnosis, and any previous fertility treatment history. No fertility centre can guarantee a pregnancy. During your consultation, the treating doctor will discuss what these factors mean for your specific situation, rather than quoting a single headline success percentage that may not reflect your individual chances.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long should we try before seeing a fertility specialist?

Generally 12 months of trying without success, or 6 months if the woman is over 35. Consult sooner if there are known risk factors such as irregular periods, PCOS, endometriosis, tubal disease, or abnormal semen parameters.

Does infertility always require IVF?

No. Depending on the diagnosis, treatment might involve timing intercourse around ovulation, ovulation-inducing medication, IUI, treatment of an underlying condition, or IVF (with or without ICSI). IVF is recommended when it is the right fit for your specific diagnosis, not as a default first step.

What is the difference between IVF and ICSI?

In standard IVF, eggs and sperm are combined and fertilisation happens naturally in a dish. In ICSI, a single sperm is injected directly into an egg — typically used for selected male-factor infertility or when fertilisation hasn’t occurred with standard IVF previously.

Is IUI worth trying before IVF?

For selected couples, particularly with mild male-factor infertility, unexplained infertility, or ovulation issues, IUI can be a reasonable, less involved first step. Whether it’s appropriate depends on your specific evaluation.

How long does one IVF cycle take?

A typical cycle, from the start of ovarian stimulation through to embryo transfer, generally takes around 4–6 weeks, though this varies by protocol and individual response.

Is IVF painful?

Most steps involve mild discomfort rather than significant pain — injections for stimulation, and a short procedure under sedation for egg retrieval. Your care team will discuss what to expect at each stage.

How many embryos are transferred?

This is individualised based on embryo quality, the woman’s age, and previous treatment history, and is discussed with the couple beforehand — transferring fewer, higher-quality embryos is often preferred to reduce the risk of multiple pregnancy.

Can embryos be frozen?

Yes. Suitable embryos not used in a fresh transfer can be frozen for future use, which can also allow a later frozen embryo transfer if needed.

Until what age can IVF be performed?

This depends on individual ovarian reserve, overall health, and clinical assessment rather than a single fixed age cutoff — your fertility specialist will discuss what’s appropriate for your situation.

When should a woman consider egg freezing?

Egg freezing may be considered by women who wish to preserve their fertility for personal or medical reasons — for example, before certain medical treatments, or to preserve reproductive potential for later in life. Earlier freezing, when ovarian reserve is higher, generally offers better outcomes.
