Can I have twin babies via IVF?

It is possible. Getting twins via IVF occurs when two embryos are transferred to the uterus, and both implants successfully, resulting in a twin pregnancy. The likelihood of having twins with IVF depends on several factors, including the woman’s age, the number of embryos transferred, and the type of IVF procedure used. While having twins may seem like a desirable outcome for some couples, it also carries higher risks for both the mother and babies during pregnancy and delivery.

Do you allow non-married couples to get your service?

Yes, we do!

Are fertility treatments painful?

Some procedures may involve mild discomfort, such as hormone injections or egg retrieval, but they are generally well-tolerated. We ensure your comfort at every step with professional guidance and support.

What is IVF?

IVF (in vitro fertilization) is a type of assisted reproductive technology (ART) used to help individuals or couples conceive a child. It involves combining eggs and sperm in a lab dish to create embryos, which are then transferred into the uterus. IVF can be used for a range of fertility issues, including infertility due to blocked fallopian tubes, low sperm count, or unexplained reasons.

How long does the IVF process take?

An IVF (in vitro fertilization) timeline typically involves several stages, starting with ovarian stimulation to produce multiple eggs, followed by egg retrieval, fertilization in a lab dish with sperm, and embryo transfer into the uterus. The entire process usually takes around 4-6 weeks but can vary depending on individual circumstances and medical protocols.

Should my partner also be involved in the preparation?
