  1. Are you apprehensive about trying IVF because you heard or think that it can be very painful? Then you must know that the IVF procedure itself is not really painful. At least not more than any regular pinch or pain you experience multiple times during your daily routine.

  2. IVF is a rapidly growing science. However, many couples are still taking their time to become convinced about IVF because of common misconceptions and myths regarding the treatment. And pain during the IVF procedure is one of them.

  3. Before discussing any further about this common IVF myth, let’s first understand what IVF is and what really happens inside the IVF laboratory.

  4. What Is IVF? IVF or in vitro fertilization is one of the most widely opted assisted reproductive technology procedures. Under the IVF treatment, your eggs and sperms are retrieved and made to meet inside an IVF laboratory to form embryos. Once healthy embryos are formed, they are nurtured inside the IVF laboratory for a few days before your fertility doctor can place one or more of them inside your womb for implantation. If the embryo(s) successfully implants itself onto the uterus lining or the endometrium, your journey towards parenthood is said to have begun.

  5. IVF is an assistive procedure that can help your fertility doctor identify treatable infertility-causing parameters and help you overcome them for a better chance at conception. When trying naturally for pregnancy, several factors may be prohibiting the egg and the sperm from meeting, like blocked fallopian tubes, fibroids, polyps, low sperm motility, etc. With IVF, the egg and sperm are made to meet without any hindrances in an IVF laboratory to form embryos.

  6. Steps Involved In The IVF Process If you are considering IVF to have another fighting chance at getting pregnant, you can expect your IVF specialist to take you through the following steps of the procedure:

  7. 1. Preliminary Consultation & Physical Examination Preliminary consultation with your fertility doctor and IVF specialist to understand your history, lifestyle, BMI, etc. Your IVF specialist will also ask for your blood reports to check for any underlying ailments like diabetes, thyroid, insulin, etc.

  8. 2. Ovarian Stimulation To stimulate your ovaries for egg production your fertility specialist will give you hormonal injections from the second day of your menstrual cycle. The injections will be given for an average of ten days depending on the follicular growth.

  9. 3. Trigger Injections Once the fertility doctor finds that the egg has grown adequately, they will give you an injection for the last phase, for the egg to mature and loosen from the follicle wall. These hCG injections are called trigger injections.

  10. 4. Egg & Sperm Retrieval 36-38 hours after the trigger injection, the fertility doctor will sedate you for egg retrieval or pick up. This procedure is done in the operation theatre under anesthesia. Egg retrieval is done with the help of a probe having a fine needle attached at the head which is inserted through the vaginal cavity into the egg follicles. The fluid inside the follicle is procured and observed under a microscope to search for eggs. Once the eggs have been retrieved, your partner’s semen sample is collected on the same day. If the doctor finds that the male partner’s semen sample does not have an adequate number and quality of sperms, they may recommend sperm retrieval directly from the testes with the help of a syringe.

  11. 5. Fertilization The sperm samples are washed and concentrated before they are placed with the eggs in the laboratory. This is known as conventional IVF. The other technique to combine sperm and egg is known as ICSI. Here one sperm is manually picked and inserted into the egg. The eggs are checked the next day for any signs of fertilization.

  12. 6. Embryo Transfer Healthy embryos are nurtured for two to five days before they can be placed inside your womb. For an embryo transfer, the embryologist will load the embryos in a thin catheter and hand it to the fertility doctor, your doctor will insert this thin catheter into your uterus, through the cervix. Embryo transfer usually takes just a few minutes and is usually a painless procedure that does not require anesthesia.

  13. Is IVF A Painful Procedure? As you can see from the steps listed above, IVF does not have any surgeries or painful procedures as part of the process. The pain you may feel is the same as taking any other regular injection, along with some additional discomfort, especially during egg retrieval and embryo transfer. Moreover, pain is a subjective feeling that differs from person to person. What may be unbearable for someone could be a breeze for you to bear. The same is the case with IVF too. Therefore, do not base your judgments of the pain during an IVF procedure on somebody else’s experience.

  14. Your IVF journey can be a smooth sail if you’re under the right treatment and care. If your fertility specialist explains every step and what to expect you will realize that the procedure is actually comfortable. Therefore, choosing an experienced fertility doctor and fertility specialist is crucial. Also, if you’re opting for IVF, make sure you insist on meeting the embryologist as well. After all, they are the ones who will be making your embryos in the laboratory.
