A full IVF cycle typically takes 4 to 6 weeks, starting from the first day of your period. It includes hormone stimulation (10–12 days), egg retrieval, fertilization in the lab, and embryo transfer. After transfer, there's a 2-week waiting period for the pregnancy test. All procedures at Crystal Fertility follow strict medical and legal protocols with proper documentation and consent.
Some couples conceive in their first cycle, while others may need 2 to 3 cycles or more, depending on factors like age, egg quality, and diagnosis. Under Indian law, IVF must be recommended only when medically necessary, and patients must be informed about realistic success chances before starting another cycle. We aim to personalize each cycle to reduce the total number of attempts.
Success rates vary based on factors like age and embryo quality. On average:
- Women under 35 have a 45–50% success rate per cycle.
- Ages 35–40 see 35–40%.
- Over 40 may see 15–25%.
At Crystal Fertility, our advanced technology, expert doctors, and individualized protocols help optimize your chances and deliver higher-than-average success rates, especially with blastocyst culture and genetic screening.
Yes, donor sperm or eggs can be used, but only through government-registered ART banks. Use of known donors (friends or relatives) is strictly prohibited under Indian law. Full informed consent is required from the couple, and donor identity remains confidential. We strictly follow all regulations to ensure ethical and legal compliance in donor-based IVF.
As per the ART (Regulation) Act, 2021, only married heterosexual couples are legally allowed to undergo IVF in India. Single men, single women, live-in partners, and same-sex couples are currently not eligible for ART procedures like IVF, egg or sperm donation. We provide legal counseling to ensure all our patients clearly understand eligibility requirements before starting treatment.
IVF is generally safe and not very painful. You might experience minor discomfort during injections or cramping during egg retrieval. Complications like OHSS (Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome) are rare and manageable. Legally, clinics must explain all possible risks and obtain written consent before treatment. At Crystal Fertility, we use mild stimulation protocols and advanced monitoring to ensure your safety and comfort.
