IVF & Fertility Treatment

Choosing the right specialist starts with finding someone with solid expertise and experience across reproductive health. It’s important to feel comfortable and supported, so look for a specialist whose approach aligns with your values and who listens to your concerns.

The success rates of fertility treatments depend on the treatment type and what it’s for. For instance, the pregnancy rate:

• Doubles after surgery for endometriosis.
• Sits at 10-20% with IUI (depending on the reason for IUI).
• Doubles after hysteroscopy and removal of endometrial polyps.
• After IVF is 35% per embryo and 50% per IVF cycle altogether.

The length of the fertility treatment process varies, but as a guide:

• Hysteroscopy (including office hysteroscopy) takes 20 minutes.
• Laparoscopy can take many hours, depending on the surgery required.
• IVF process takes 2-3 weeks.
• IUI takes 2 weeks.
• Ovulation induction takes 2 weeks.
