IVF-ET – In Vitro Fertilization with Embryo Transfer at Karnic Clinic

For many couples struggling with infertility, simple treatments like ovulation induction or IUI may not be enough. In such cases, advanced assisted reproductive technology (ART) offers hope. One of the most trusted and widely used techniques is IVF-ET (In Vitro Fertilization – Embryo Transfer).

At Karnic Clinic, we specialize in delivering high-quality, ethical, and result-oriented IVF treatments with personalized care and advanced technology.

What is IVF-ET?

In simple terms IVF means fertilization outside the body. After ovarian stimulation, eggs are collected from the woman’s ovaries and then fertilized by the husband’s sperms in a petri dish in a controlled laboratory environment. The resulting embryos are deposited into the woman’s uterus by embryo transfer either on the 3rd or 5th day.

This treatment mimics the natural process of conception but takes place under controlled laboratory conditions, giving couples a much higher chance of pregnancy compared to trying naturally.

Who Needs IVF-ET?

IVF-ET may be recommended for:

• Blocked or damaged fallopian tubes
• Severe male factor infertility (low count, poor motility, or abnormal sperm)
• Failed IUI cycles
• Severe endometriosis
• Women with ovulation disorders not responding to medications
• Couples with unexplained infertility
• Advanced maternal age (above 35 years)

Step-by-Step IVF Process at Karnic Clinic

1. Ovarian Stimulation
   • Hormonal injections are given to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs.
   • Follicle growth is monitored with ultrasound and blood tests.
2. Egg Retrieval (Ovum Pick-Up)
   • A minor procedure under anesthesia where eggs are collected from the ovaries using a fine needle.
3. Sperm Collection and Preparation
   • Partner’s sperm (or donor sperm) is prepared in the lab to isolate healthy, motile sperms.
4. Fertilization
   • Eggs and sperms are placed together in a petri dish, allowing fertilization to occur naturally under lab conditions.
5. Embryo Culture
   • The embryos are monitored and allowed to grow for 3–5 days until they reach the appropriate stage.
6. Embryo Transfer (ET)
   • A healthy embryo (or embryos) is placed inside the uterus using a fine catheter.
   • This is a painless, daycare procedure requiring no anesthesia.
7. Pregnancy Confirmation
   • A blood test is performed 12–14 days after the embryo transfer to confirm pregnancy.

Why IVF-ET is Effective

• Bypasses Tubal Blockages: Does not depend on the fallopian tubes for fertilization.
• Improves Chances in Severe Male Infertility: Sperm-related problems can be overcome with IVF or advanced techniques like ICSI.
• Higher Success Rates: Especially when blastocyst-stage embryos are transferred.
• Helps in Genetic Screening: IVF allows Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) if needed.
• Option for Donor Eggs/Sperm: Expands possibilities for couples with poor gamete quality.
