Hi, I am Dr. Riddhi Doshi and as a fertility specialist, I often get this question. But, the truth is, IVF is not just a single procedure — it’s a carefully planned journey that usually takes about 6 to 8 weeks for one full cycle. Let me break it down for you:

1️⃣ Initial Consultation & Tests (1–2 weeks)
We begin with blood tests, scans, and medical history to understand your fertility health.

2️⃣ Ovarian Stimulation (10–12 days)
You’ll take hormonal injections to help your ovaries produce multiple mature eggs instead of just one. During this time, we monitor you closely with scans and blood work.

3️⃣ Egg Retrieval & Fertilization (1–2 days)
When the eggs are ready, we collect them in a short procedure. The eggs are then fertilized with sperm in the lab — this is where science and nature meet.

4️⃣ Embryo Development (3–5 days)
Fertilized eggs grow into embryos in a highly controlled lab environment. We monitor their quality carefully.

5️⃣ Embryo Transfer (within a week)
A healthy embryo is transferred into the uterus. This step is usually painless and quick.

6️⃣ The Two-Week Wait
After transfer, we wait about 12–14 days before doing a pregnancy test. This can be the most emotional phase, and we support you throughout.

👉 In total, from the first injection to the pregnancy test, an IVF cycle usually takes 6 to 8 weeks. Remember, sometimes more than one cycle may be needed, and each couple’s journey is unique.

✅️ My advice: focus not just on the timeline, but also on choosing a clinic where you feel supported and cared for — because that makes a big difference in your IVF journey.
