If you need IVF

What to expect honestly

Fertility treatment does not work for every couple, and success depends on age, cause and duration of infertility. Your doctor will give you realistic expectations and a clear plan. Infertility can be stressful. It is normal to feel anxious, and you are welcome to bring your partner to every visit.

Frequently asked questions

When should a couple get tested for infertility?

After 12 months of trying without success, or after 6 months if the woman is 35 or older. See a doctor sooner if periods are irregular.

Do both partners need tests?

Yes. Male factors contribute to many cases, so both partners are usually evaluated.

Can PCOS cause infertility?

PCOS can stop regular ovulation, which makes pregnancy harder. It is often treatable with lifestyle changes and ovulation medicines.

Does Apex Hospital offer IVF?

No. Apex provides evaluation and first-line treatment and refers couples to a registered ART centre when IVF is needed.

How long does fertility treatment take?

It varies. Many couples try first-line treatment for a few months before the plan is reviewed.
