For many couples struggling with infertility, In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) brings new hope. But along with hope, it also raises many questions: How does IVF work? What are the legal rights involved? Are the myths surrounding IVF true?
At Nex IVF Patna, we believe in empowering aspiring parents with complete knowledge. This blog covers everything — from the types of IVF procedures and patient rights to debunking common myths — so you can make informed decisions about your fertility journey.
What Is IVF?
In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is an assisted reproductive technology where an egg is fertilized by sperm outside the body, and the resulting embryo is then transferred into the uterus.
It’s a highly advanced and effective solution for couples facing:
- Blocked or damaged fallopian tubes
- Male factor infertility
- Ovulation disorders
- Unexplained infertility
- Age-related fertility decline
Types of IVF Procedures
Depending on your medical history and fertility condition, doctors may recommend different IVF approaches:
- Conventional IVF
Mature eggs are collected and mixed with sperm in a lab. The embryo is later transferred to the uterus. - ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection)
A single sperm is injected directly into an egg. Ideal for male infertility cases. - IMSI (Intracytoplasmic Morphologically Selected Sperm Injection)
Uses high-magnification to select the best-quality sperm before injection. - FET (Frozen Embryo Transfer)
Previously frozen embryos are thawed and implanted in a later cycle. - Donor IVF
Donor sperm or eggs are used when one or both partners are unable to contribute viable gametes. - Surrogacy (IVF with Gestational Carrier)
The embryo is implanted in another woman (the surrogate), who carries the pregnancy to term.
Legal Rights You Should Know
At Nex IVF Patna, we ensure all IVF procedures comply with the latest ART (Assisted Reproductive Technology) regulations in India. Couples have legal rights and responsibilities that include:
- Confidentiality of medical and genetic information
- Legal parenthood of the child born through IVF
- Written informed consent for all procedures
- Counselling and documentation for donor or surrogacy cases
We help couples understand every legal aspect before they begin treatment, so there are no surprises later.
