What is IVF?

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is an advanced assisted reproductive technique that helps couples conceive when natural methods fail. It involves fertilizing an egg with sperm outside the body in a lab setting, followed by the transfer of the resulting embryo into the uterus. IVF has transformed the lives of millions of couples by offering a safe, effective solution to infertility.

At East Coast Hospitals, our IVF and Reproductive Medicine unit blends medical excellence with compassionate care to support your journey to parenthood, step by step.

Who Should Consider IVF?

IVF may be a suitable option if you or your partner are experiencing:

• Blocked or damaged fallopian tubes
• Male factor infertility (low sperm count or motility)
• Endometriosis or uterine abnormalities
• Ovulation disorders or hormonal imbalances
• Age-related fertility decline
• Unexplained infertility
• Previous failed fertility treatments
• Genetic conditions requiring embryo screening
