To be updated

IVF, which stands for “In Vitro Fertilisation,” involves carefully stimulating the ovaries to produce eggs which are retrieved and then fertilised with sperm in a laboratory. After several days the fertilised egg, which is now an embryo, is transferred back into the female partner’s uterus. The whole in vitro fertilisation process usually takes around three to four weeks.

IVF offers the highest success rates of any fertility treatment, providing the greatest hope to individuals  and couples experiencing difficulty conceiving.

Who is IVF Suitable For?

As one of the most advanced fertility treatments, IVF is used for individuals diagnosed with complex fertility challenges. It is also recommended for single women, same sex couples and gender diverse people wanting a family using donor sperm and eggs. Your fertility specialist will discuss all fertility treatment options and recommend if IVF is best for your age and individual needs.

IVF is likely to be recommended if you:

Are of advanced maternal age (over 35 years)

Have blocked or damaged fallopian tubes

Experience ovulation issues, polycystic ovarian syndrome and / or unsuccessful ovulation induction treatment

Have male factor infertility including low sperm count or motility

Have severe endometriosis

Have had two unsuccessful IUI cycles or when IUI treatment is not suitable

Have unexplained infertility

The Process

At City Fertility, we know your journey to parenthood is personal. Our caring team will support you through every step of the IVF process. Each cycle usually takes about 6–8 weeks, though the timeline may change depending on your needs and any extra steps like genetic testing or embryo freezing.

Step 1: Ovarian Stimulation. Ovarian stimulation is the first step in an IVF cycle. It involves a series of daily follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) injections self-administered at home from Day 2 or 3 of your menstrual cycle. This medication is used to stimulate the ovaries to encourage the growth of multiple follicles containing eggs.

Step 2: Control & Monitoring. Your fertility specialist will closely monitor your ovarian response during the stimulation phase with ultrasounds and/or blood tests. This is important as medications may be adjusted to control the size and amount of follicles.

Step 3: Egg Release. To assist with the final maturation of the egg and loosening of the egg from the follicle wall ready for egg collection, an injection of Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin (hCG). This is often referred to as ‘the trigger injection’.

IVF Success Rates

IVF success rates are an important consideration for people choosing an IVF clinic. They provide valuable insight into the likelihood of achieving a baby through IVF. Its important to understand that several factors influence IVF success rates, including age, lifestyle, and the cause of infertility.

At City Fertility, we are proud to deliver consistently high success rates, backed by advanced reproductive technologies and our personalised approach to patient care.
