From Diagnosis to Treatment: A Step-by-Step Guide for Couples Facing Infertility

Infertility can be a daunting challenge in a couple’s life, often bringing emotional stress and uncertainty about the future. In Bangalore, access to specialized infertility care is growing, with leading experts like Dr. Manisha Singh at Fortis Hospital offering personalized solutions for couples seeking to start or expand their families. This guide walks you through the journey from first diagnosis to successful IVF treatment, showcasing what sets Bangalore’s care apart.​​

Understanding Infertility: When to Seek Help

Many couples start considering fertility treatment when natural conception doesn’t happen despite regular efforts over 12 months. Both men and women can face factors affecting fertility, such as hormonal imbalances, structural issues, lifestyle choices, or underlying medical conditions. In Bangalore, couples can consult IVF specialists who methodically evaluate both partners, ensuring the root cause is identified before suggesting solutions.​

Step 1: Initial Consultation – The Foundation

At your first visit, the IVF specialist like Dr. Manisha Singh will collect detailed histories and recommend diagnostic tests. This can include blood work, hormone profiling, ultrasound scans, and semen analysis. A clear diagnosis guides the right choice of treatment. Dr. Manisha Singh’s expertise in reproductive medicine ensures no stone is left unturned; every couple receives personalized care based on their unique situation.​​

Step 2: Fertility Planning and Counselling

After test results, the fertility specialist explains available options, ranging from medication for minor issues to advanced procedures for more complex cases. Dr. Manisha Singh is known for her thorough explanations, helping couples understand choices like IUI (Intrauterine Insemination), ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection), and most notably, IVF (In Vitro Fertilization).​​

Step 3: IVF Treatment – Step-by-Step Overview

The IVF process consists of several carefully managed stages:

• Ovarian Stimulation: Hormonal medicines help the ovaries produce multiple eggs, monitored through regular scans and blood tests.​
• Egg Retrieval: When follicles are mature, eggs are collected in a minimally invasive procedure.
• Sperm Preparation: Simultaneously, the male partner’s sperm is processed to ensure maximum fertility.
• Fertilization: Eggs and sperm meet in a laboratory environment, using traditional IVF or ICSI if needed.
• Embryo Culture: Embryos grow under expert observation; only the healthiest are chosen for transfer.
• Embryo Transfer: A painless procedure places embryos into the uterus, aiming for successful implantation.​

Step 4: Pregnancy Test and Follow-up

Two weeks after embryo transfer, a blood test checks for pregnancy. If successful, the clinic continues supporting the pregnancy with regular monitoring. If not, the couple receives guidance for next steps or alternative options.​
