Statistically, for young healthy women, the chances of a successful pregnancy through IVF are 20% to 35% per cycle. And her chances of getting pregnant naturally is also around 20% during a single menstruation cycle.
This proves that IVF offers the same level of opportunity to conceive as the natural ovulation process. And like the natural process, the chances of conceiving drop down to 5% or less after the age of 40 - 42.

The only difference between a pregnancy through IVF and sexual reproduction is that the sperm and egg are fertilized externally (In-Vitro) in a controlled environment of an IVF hospital which otherwise happens in the fallopian tube.

There is no guarantee that one can have twins through IVF, but the likelihood of so happening is much higher with it.
A report by the Human Fertilization and Embryology Authority (HEFA) suggests that “one out of five pregnancies may result in multiple births with IVF.” This statement is supported by the fact that the number of twin pregnancies has proliferated in the last 40 years after IVF treatments were easily accessible. Our IVF specialist also suggests that a woman who conceives via IVF has a 25% chance of having twins or even triplets, which is only 5% in women who conceive naturally.
This effect is most possibly due to the fact that our methodology of IVF treatment allows multiple embryos to be placed over the uterine walls, which is a rare case otherwise Embryo Transfer procedure is absolutely painless and it’s done under sonography guidance which ensures perfect placement of embryos.

• Discuss and alter your ongoing medications and medical conditions thoroughly with your doctor to ensure they won’t affect your IVF process.
• If you’re overweight or underweight, consult our IVF specialist to check your BMI and maintain a healthy weight required for pregnancy.
• Eat a balanced diet that includes lots of fruit and vegetables, lean protein (poultry & fish), whole grains, healthy fats, legumes, low-fat dairy, etc.
• Punctually take your prenatal vitamins and other supplements as prescribed by your IVF specialist (if any).
• Be as stress-free as you can. Start mindfulness exercises, journaling, meditation, or a stress-relieving hobby to remain mentally calm and positive during the IVF cycle.
