Newlife IVF performs IVF

What is IVF?

IVF is the process by which eggs are fertilized by sperm outside the uterus (in vitro) in the embryology lab. IVF is the main treatment used in infertility when other methods of assisted reproductive technology have failed.
The main steps in the IVF process are:

• Ovarian stimulation with the administration of hormones and monitoring of ovarian response
• Egg collection
• Semen sample collection
• Fertilization in the lab (Classical IVF or Intra Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI))
• Embryo culture and development
• Embryo transfer

Classical IVF is where freshly washed sperm are placed in the same dish as the eggs and left to fertilize overnight. ICSI is a more specialized technique where one spermatozoon is injected into the egg.
 

The package price for an own egg IVF treatment cycle does not include:

• Initial Screening of diseases for male and female partner and other tests required on a specific basis for each case prior to the treatment cycle.
• Medications for your stimulation and post embryo transfer.
• Embryo cryopreservation and storage.
   

Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI)

Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) involves the injection of a single spermatozoon directly inside the cytoplasm of the egg. It is a process that is performed by experienced embryologists under a specially modified microscope at high magnification using a micro-needle. It is a technique used when the sperm sample is very poor, or in cases where there has been little or no fertilization after classical IVF.
