Starting an IVF treatment can feel overwhelming. Most couples have many doubts about the process, cost, risks, and chances of success. At Shanvi IVF, we believe in giving complete transparency and guidance, so that every couple feels confident and prepared before starting their fertility journey.
In this blog, our fertility experts have answered the Top FAQs about IVF Treatment that patients ask us every day. These answers will help you understand the process better and take the right steps toward parenthood.
- What is IVF and how does it work?
IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) is an advanced fertility treatment where a woman’s eggs are collected and fertilized with sperm in a laboratory. The best quality embryos are then transferred to the uterus to achieve pregnancy.
At Shanvi IVF, we use advanced techniques like ICSI, laser-assisted hatching, and blastocyst transfer to improve the success rate.
- Who should consider IVF?
IVF is recommended for couples who face conditions like:
- Blocked or damaged fallopian tubes
- Low sperm count or poor sperm motility
- Ovulation disorders (like PCOS)
- Unexplained infertility
- Advanced maternal age (above 35 years)
- Couples who have failed IUI or other treatments
Our doctors at Shanvi IVF conduct detailed fertility evaluations before suggesting IVF.
- What is the success rate of IVF?
Success depends on multiple factors like age, egg and sperm quality, and lifestyle. On average, women under 35 have a 50-60% success rate per cycle, while women above 40 may have lower chances.
At Shanvi IVF, our advanced lab, expert embryologists, and personalized protocols have helped us achieve above-average IVF success rates in Agra and surrounding regions.
- Is IVF painful?
Most steps in IVF are not painful. Egg retrieval is done under anaesthesia, so patients don’t feel discomfort. Some women may experience mild bloating or cramping during ovarian stimulation. Embryo transfer is a simple, painless procedure.
Our team ensures that you feel comfortable and supported throughout the journey.
- What is the cost of IVF treatment in India?
The cost of IVF in India varies depending on the clinic, city, and additional procedures required. On average, one IVF cycle can range from ₹1,00,000 to ₹2,50,000.
At Shanvi IVF, we provide transparent pricing, EMI options, and customized packages so that financial stress does not stop you from achieving parenthood.

- How many IVF cycles are usually needed?
