In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)
In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is an advanced assisted reproductive technology (ART) designed to help individuals and couples struggling with infertility. IVF involves fertilizing an egg outside the human body in a controlled laboratory setting, offering a promising solution when other treatments have not been successful.
Fertility medications, commonly known as IVF injections, are administered to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs. These medications are carefully selected and dosed to optimize egg production.
Once the eggs have matured, a minor surgical procedure is performed to collect them from the ovaries. This procedure is done under sedation for comfort and is guided by ultrasound imaging for precision.
In our state-of-the-art laboratory, the retrieved eggs are combined with sperm to facilitate fertilization. If male fertility issues are present, a technique called Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) may be used, where a single sperm is directly injected into an egg to enhance the chances of fertilization.
The fertilized eggs, now embryos, are cultured in a controlled environment for several days. Our embryologists closely monitor their development to select the most viable embryos for transfer.
The final step involves transferring one or more healthy embryos into the uterus. This is a straightforward procedure that typically requires no anesthesia. After the transfer, we provide detailed guidance and support during the two-week wait before a pregnancy test is conducted.
We recognize that the cost of IVF treatment is a significant factor for many patients. In Pakistan, the cost of a single IVF cycle typically ranges from PKR 600,000 to PKR 900,000, depending on the clinic’s location, specific treatments required, and any additional procedures like ICSI or genetic testing.
The cost of fertility medications, including IVF injections, can vary based on the type and dosage required. On average, these medications may cost between PKR 50,000 to PKR 150,000 per cycle. Since medication needs differ among patients, our team will provide a detailed breakdown tailored to your treatment plan.
Both In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) and Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) are fertility treatments, but they differ in complexity and application.
This procedure involves placing washed and concentrated sperm directly into the uterus around the time of ovulation, facilitating natural fertilization. It is less invasive and often considered as a first-line treatment for certain fertility issues.
Involves external fertilization of eggs and is typically recommended for individuals with more complex fertility challenges or when other treatments, such as IUI, have not been successful.
At Novo Life, patient safety is our top priority. While IVF is a widely successful procedure, it does come with certain risks. Understanding these potential risks can help you make an informed decision about your fertility journey.
IVF involves multiple steps, hormonal treatments, and waiting periods that can be emotionally and physically challenging. The financial cost of IVF may also add to the burden. At Novo Life, we offer counseling services and emotional support to help you navigate your fertility journey.
The egg retrieval process involves:
Fertility medications used to stimulate egg production can sometimes lead to OHSS. Symptoms include:
The miscarriage rate for IVF pregnancies is similar to natural conception and increases with maternal age:
In rare cases, a fertilized embryo may implant outside the uterus, usually in a fallopian tube. Symptoms include abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding. Our fertility specialists carefully monitor early pregnancies to detect and manage such complications promptly.
IVF increases the likelihood of twins, triplets, or more, especially if multiple embryos are transferred. Risks include:
Maternal age is a key factor in birth defects, but studies suggest a slightly increased risk with IVF. Conditions may include heart abnormalities and digestive system issues. We follow strict protocols for embryo selection to minimize complications.
IVF pregnancies have a slightly higher risk of premature delivery and low birth weight. To mitigate this, we monitor pregnancies closely and provide specialized care to support a healthy, full-term delivery.

The egg retrieval process involves: Bleeding: Minor internal bleeding may occur but is rare. Infection: A slight risk of infection is present. Damage to Nearby Organs: In rare cases, the needle may cause injury to the bowel, bladder, or blood vessels. Anesthesia Risks: Medications used during the procedure may cause nausea or dizziness.
Fertility medications used to stimulate egg production can sometimes lead to OHSS. Symptoms include: Abdominal pain and bloating Nausea and vomiting In rare cases, severe fluid retention and breathing difficulties Our team closely monitors patients undergoing ovarian stimulation to minimize this risk.
The miscarriage rate for IVF pregnancies is similar to natural conception and increases with maternal age: 15% for women in their 20s Over 50% for women in their 40s To improve pregnancy success rates, we use advanced embryo selection techniques to ensure the healthiest embryos are transferred.
IVF increases the likelihood of twins, triplets, or more, especially if multiple embryos are transferred. Risks include: Higher chances of pregnancy-related high blood pressure and diabetes Increased risk of preterm labor and premature birth Lower birth weight and potential birth complications At Novo Life, we carefully assess the number of embryos transferred to balance success rates with safety.

Starting the path to parenthood through IVF is a significant decision. Novo Life is here to guide and support you every step of the way, offering expertise, hope, and compassionate care to help you achieve your dream of building a family in Gujrat.
IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) is a procedure where eggs are fertilized with sperm outside the body in a controlled laboratory setting. At Novo Life in Gujrat, our state-of-the-art facility and expert team guide you through every step—from ovarian stimulation to embryo transfer—ensuring a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
IVF is typically recommended for individuals and couples facing infertility challenges, such as blocked fallopian tubes, male fertility issues, or unexplained infertility. Our specialists conduct a thorough assessment to determine if IVF is the right option for you.
The entire IVF process usually spans between 4 to 6 weeks. This includes ovarian stimulation, egg retrieval, fertilization, embryo culture, and embryo transfer. However, the timeline may vary based on individual treatment responses and specific clinical factors.
Success rates depend on various factors including age, overall health, and the underlying cause of infertility. At Novo Life, we utilize advanced embryo selection techniques and personalized care to optimize your chances. Your specialist will discuss expected outcomes during your consultation.
In Pakistan, a single IVF cycle typically ranges from PKR 600,000 to PKR 900,000, with additional costs for fertility medications (IVF injections) ranging between PKR 50,000 to PKR 150,000 per cycle. We provide a detailed breakdown of costs based on your unique treatment plan.
While IVF is a safe and well-established procedure, it does carry potential risks such as ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), multiple pregnancies, and the physical and emotional stress of treatment. Our experienced team at Novo Life closely monitors every step to minimize these risks and ensure your safety.
