What Is IVF and How Does It Work?
IVF — In Vitro Fertilisation — is a scientifically advanced fertility treatment in which eggs are retrieved from a woman's ovaries and fertilised by sperm in a specialised laboratory. The fertilised egg — now called an embryo — is then carefully transferred back into the uterus, where it implants and grows into a pregnancy.
At Nayra IVF, every step of the IVF process is performed using the most advanced reproductive technology available — and every cycle is personally overseen by Dr. Preeti Singh from start to finish.
Unlike other fertility treatments that simply improve the chances of natural fertilisation, IVF gives doctors direct control over the fertilisation process itself — allowing careful selection of the healthiest embryos, personalised stimulation protocols, and advanced genetic testing where needed.

IVF May Be the Right Path If You Are Facing…
IVF is recommended for a wide range of fertility challenges. Dr. Preeti Singh will evaluate your complete history and guide you toward the treatment that gives you the best possible chance.
Blocked or Damaged Fallopian Tubes
IVF bypasses the fallopian tubes entirely — making it the most effective option when tubes are blocked, scarred, or absent.
Male Factor Infertility
Low sperm count, poor motility, or abnormal sperm shape can make natural conception very difficult. IVF combined with ICSI can overcome even severe male infertility.
Unexplained Infertility
When all tests are normal yet pregnancy has not occurred after 12+ months of trying, IVF provides a structured, evidence-based path forward.
Endometriosis
IVF allows Dr. Singh to work around the complications endometriosis creates — giving the embryo the best possible conditions to implant.
Recurrent Pregnancy Loss
IVF with preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) can identify chromosomally healthy embryos — significantly reducing the risk of another miscarriage.
PCOS & Ovulation Disorders
IVF with controlled ovarian stimulation can produce multiple mature eggs and greatly improve success rates in PCOS patients.
Age-Related Fertility Decline
IVF allows careful monitoring of egg quality, selection of the strongest embryos, and the use of donor eggs where needed.
Previous IVF Failure
Dr. Preeti Singh reviews previous cycles in detail, identifies what may have gone wrong, and creates a completely fresh, tailored protocol. Many patients have conceived at Nayra IVF after failing at other centres.
Step by Step — Your IVF Journey at Nayra IVF
A structured, supportive, and scientifically rigorous path designed to give you the highest possible chance of success.
Initial Consultation
A one-on-one session with Dr. Preeti Singh — your history, your concerns, your questions, your options. Nothing is rushed.
Comprehensive Fertility Investigation
Advanced hormone profiling, ultrasound, semen analysis, ERA, ECSA, and NGS testing — so treatment is built on precise, personalised data.
Personalised Treatment Protocol
A stimulation protocol designed specifically for you — the right medications, the right doses, and the right timing.
Ovarian Stimulation & Monitoring
10–14 days of fertility medications with regular ultrasound and blood tests — monitored closely and adjusted in real time by Dr. Singh.
Egg Retrieval
Eggs are retrieved under light sedation in a short, minimally invasive procedure. Same-day discharge and comfortable throughout.
Fertilisation in the Lab
Eggs are fertilised using IVF or ICSI in our advanced embryology lab. Fertilisation is typically confirmed the following day.
Embryo Development & Selection
Embryos are monitored for 3–5 days. The strongest embryos are selected for transfer. PGT screening available where recommended.
Embryo Transfer
The selected embryo is gently placed into the uterus — a simple, painless procedure taking only minutes. No anaesthesia needed.
The Two-Week Wait & Test
Progesterone support followed by a blood test 14 days after transfer to confirm pregnancy. Our team is with you through every anxious day.
Ongoing Care & Support
A positive result is just the beginning. Dr. Singh monitors your early pregnancy closely — and if the first cycle is not successful, she reviews everything openly and outlines the clearest, most honest path forward.
What Are the Chances? Understanding IVF Success
IVF success is influenced by age, cause of infertility, egg and sperm quality, and the expertise of the clinic. At Nayra IVF, Dr. Singh's personalised approach and advanced diagnostics consistently deliver strong outcomes.
Age
The single most important factor. Women under 35 generally have the highest success rates. Dr. Singh tailors every protocol to maximise outcomes at every age.
Cause of Infertility
Dr. Singh's thorough diagnostic workup ensures the right treatment is chosen for the right reason — never a standard protocol applied without thought.
Embryo Quality
Our state-of-the-art embryology lab and expert embryologists maximise the quality of every embryo cultured through precision environment control.
Uterine Receptivity
ERA testing identifies your uterus's exact window of implantation — dramatically improving transfer timing and boosting success rates.
Previous IVF History
A failed cycle elsewhere does not mean IVF will not work. Dr. Singh reviews every previous cycle in detail to create a fresh, evidence-based protocol.
Frequently Asked Questions About IVF
How many IVF cycles will I need?
It depends on your age, diagnosis, and how your body responds. Many patients conceive in their first or second cycle. Dr. Singh will give you a realistic, honest assessment from the very first consultation.
Is IVF painful?
Most patients find it far less uncomfortable than expected. Stimulation injections may cause mild bloating. Egg retrieval is done under sedation. The embryo transfer is typically painless.
How long does one IVF cycle take?
A single cycle takes 4 to 6 weeks. Including initial consultations and investigations, the total timeline is usually 2 to 3 months.
What is the difference between IVF and ICSI?
In IVF, eggs and sperm are placed together in a dish. In ICSI, a single sperm is injected directly into an egg. ICSI is recommended for significant sperm issues or poor fertilisation in previous cycles.
Can I do IVF if I have PCOS?
Yes. PCOS patients need careful stimulation monitoring to avoid OHSS. Dr. Preeti Singh is highly experienced in designing safe, effective IVF protocols for PCOS patients.
What happens to unused embryos?
Good-quality unused embryos are frozen for future use. Frozen embryo transfers are often just as successful as fresh transfers.
Is IVF safe?
IVF is well-established and generally safe. Main risks include mild OHSS, a small risk of multiple pregnancy, and the emotional toll of an unsuccessful cycle. All protocols at Nayra IVF are designed to minimise risk.
Does stress affect IVF success?
Significant distress can affect hormone levels and wellbeing. At Nayra IVF we offer emotional support throughout — because your mental health matters as much as your physical health.
What should I do to prepare for IVF?
Maintain a healthy weight, take folic acid, avoid alcohol and smoking, manage stress, and address any underlying conditions before starting. Dr. Singh will give you specific guidance for your case.
How is Nayra IVF different?
At Nayra IVF, you are always treated by Dr. Preeti Singh herself — never handed off to junior staff. Every protocol is custom-designed. Every result is explained clearly. Every patient receives the same level of care, attention, and honesty.
