Who Should Consider IVF/ICSI?
IVF is a ray of hope for those who wish to embrace parenthood but are struggling owing to medical conditions or fertility challenges. Advanced ICSI treatment and IVF treatment procedures increase your chances of pregnancy by addressing underlying conditions.
If you’ve been trying to conceive without success
If, despite trying for 6 months or more, you have not conceived, naturally or through any other treatment like IUI, an IVF treatment with the latest technology can offer a promising chance of conception.
If you have underlying medical conditions
Low ovarian reserve, PCOS, endometriosis, and low count or poor quality sperm can be reasons for not conceiving. IVF can be an option in case of any fertility condition, which will first be assessed through male and female fertility testing.
Common Reasons for IVF/ICSI

PCOS, endometriosis, and reduced egg fertility, like low ovarian reserve, can impact natural conception.

Hormonal Imbalance
Thyroid issues or irregular hormone levels can disrupt ovulation.
Sperm Count and Quality
If a low sperm count or poor quality is the issue, you may require an ICSI procedure.

Our Cutting-Edge Technology
Luma offers cutting-edge technology to enhance your IVF journey. Our innovative tools are designed for accurate and safe outcomes.
Genetic Testing
Prior to implantation, a genetic test – PGT is performed on the embryo to detect any chromosomal abnormalities. This screening helps select embryos with the correct number of chromosomes, thus reducing the risk of miscarriage and increasing the chances of a healthy pregnancy.
Laser-Assisted Hatching (LAH)
For women with a history of unsuccessful IVF cycles, older women or embryos with a thick outer shell (zona pellucida). LAH proves beneficial. It is a precision technique that creates a small opening in the outer shell of an embryo that helps implantation.
RI Witness System
We use the RI Witness system with RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology to monitor and track all gametes and embryos in the IVF lab. This system mitigates chances of sample mixing and helps identify each, thus instilling patient confidence in the IVF treatment at Luma.
EmbryoGlue
EmbryoGlue enhances implantation during embryo transfer. Rich in hyaluronan, a natural substance found in the uterus, EmbryoGlue increases the chances of the embryo sticking to the uterine lining, thereby improving success rates and healthy pregnancy.
Our Expertise in Male Fertility
Dr. Rupin Shah comes with decades of experience in male fertility care in India. Recognised globally, he has pioneered advanced sperm retrieval procedures, addressing high-complexity problems.
PESA (Percutaneous Epididymal Sperm Aspiration)
A minimally invasive procedure where sperm is extracted from the epididymis with a tiny tube adjacent to the testicle where sperm matures. Ideal for men who have obstructive azoospermia, a condition in which sperm are produced but unable to reach the semen.
TESE (Testicular Sperm Extraction)
To find viable sperm, a tiny sample of testicular tissue is surgically removed and examined in a lab. This is usually employed when aspiration methods such as TESA fall short.
MicroTESE (Micro-Dissection Testicular Sperm Extraction)
Used to locate sperm in men with compromised sperm production, this advanced surgical procedure is performed under a microscope. By detecting even minute pockets of active sperm, this technique increases the likelihood of success.
Simultaneous Staged Sperm Retrieval
A customised approach that uses several retrieval techniques (like TESA and TESE) in a single session. This reduces the need for additional surgeries while increasing the chance of finding sperm.

IVF FAQs
What is IVF, and how does it work?
The IVF full form is In Vitro Fertilization, which literally means fertilization outside the body, wherein the eggs are retrieved and fertilised in a lab, after which, they are then planted into the uterus. If you’re considering this option, it’s important to understand the IVF process step by step, which includes ovarian stimulation, egg retrieval, fertilization, embryo culture and embryo transfer.
Who should consider IVF?
If you are unable to conceive naturally despite trying for over a year or have medical conditions like PCOS, endometriosis, low ovarian reserve, etc., an IVF treatment can increase your chances of conception. Male fertility issues, low sperm count or unsuccessful attempts with other treatments are also reasons to consider IVF treatment.

IVF Success rates depend on factors like age, egg quality, and medical history. At Luma, we use advanced AI-driven assessments and embryo selection techniques to optimize your chances of success.
How many IVF cycles will I need?
The number of IVF cycles depends on individual health and other determining factors. For some, one IVF cycle is enough to conceive, while some others may need multiple IVF cycles. Our doctors optimise each cycle to maximise your chance of conception.
Is IVF painful?
The IVF process may involve mild discomfort, especially during hormonal injections and egg retrieval, but it’s manageable. Advanced techniques used by Luma ensure a comfortable and smooth experience.
Can I freeze embryos for future use?

IVF Tools & Calculators
For all those couples undergoing IVF treatment, IVF calculators or IVF pregnancy calculators can give insights into key milestones – egg retrieval, fertilization and embryo transfer timing. Other tools like the IVF due date calculator can track your progress and predict the due date.
Understanding IVF Costs
IVF cost in India varies based on the complexity and the IVF packages, the infrastructure of the clinic, technology employed, number of cycles and extra services, such as embryo freezing, donor eggs/sperm etc. The location and city also make a difference in the IVF treatment cost. A tech-enabled, patient-centric fertility clinic, Luma maintains transparency in IVF treatment price inclusions, the process involved, and timelines.
IVF Side Effects & Safety
Understanding what is IVF treatment will help absorb the intricacies of the procedure. An IVF treatment may trigger a series of emotional and physical changes, however at Luma, our advanced techniques and an empathetic staff ensure a smooth experience. IVF side effects may include mild stomach pain, change in temperament, and minor discomfort during injections and egg retrieval. These are short-lived IVF side effects that can effectively be managed with some rest or over-the-counter pills recommended by your doctor.
At Luma, we focus on a compassionate and supportive treatment with a team who understands your journey.
Advantages of IVF
IVF success rate is typically higher compared to other fertility options. Compared to other fertility treatments, IVF offers a higher success rate while allowing the use of donor eggs, sperm or embryo, which allows couples to conceive. Excess embryos can be frozen again for future use without repeating the IVF process. Genetic testing is yet another part that can identify healthy embryos, thus mitigating the risk of inherited medical conditions or miscarriages. We tailor treatments based on individual goals and reproductive health to effectively maximise IVF success rate.
Pre-IVF Checklist
Once you have decided to opt for the IVF treatment, there are a few things you need to do in order to prepare your mind and body.
- We conduct female fertility testing, including ovarian reserve, AMH testing, along with semen analysis and hormone testing.
- Our fertility experts will create a personalised plan for you listing lifestyle habits, nutrition and exercise.
- The IVF treatment may take a toll on some hence emotional readiness is very important. Managing stress and setting realistic expectations will help you navigate the process comfortably.
- Open communication with your partner and attending appointments together will help you both go through the process with significant ease.
IVF Common Concerns
From IVF side effects to IVF advantages and the IVF success rate, you are sure to have multiple questions before opting for IVF treatment.
How accurate is an IVF pregnancy calculator?
An IVF pregnancy calculator will give an estimated due date based on embryo transferring, but is not entirely accurate. Usually, pregnancies follow the estimated timeline very closely but slight variations are normal. The calculator is more of a guide!
Can IVF guarantee pregnancy?
IVF treatment surely increases the chances of pregnancy. Certain factors though are likely to affect, like age and health conditions. But, with advanced technology, the IVF success rate has significantly improved, offering a promising option to couples struggling with infertility.
How long does an IVF cycle take?
An IVF cycle can take about 4-6 weeks. The IVF process step by step starting with ovarian stimulation, egg retrieval and embryo transfer is scheduled within this stipulated period. Additional time however, maybe required if you have planned a frozen embryo transfer.
What lifestyle changes improve IVF success?
Undergoing IVF treatment calls for a holistic picture that includes not just medical but also emotional, physical and mental wellbeing. A well-balanced diet nourishes the sperm and egg quality required for successful conception, while stress management can aid in maintaining hormonal balance. A healthy lifestyle includes sufficient sleep hours, which prove beneficial for the IVF success rate. Luma, with its holistic approach offers lifestyle changes that address the physical and emotional wellbeing of both the partners, so as to ensure a smooth experience.
