Our doctor has also recorded shorter videos that walk through an IVF cycle in eight easy steps. They follow the same journey as this guide in a quicker format, and are handy to share with a husband, a parent or anyone in the family who wants to understand the treatment. Choose your language:

"Test tube baby" is simply the everyday name for IVF. The egg and the sperm meet in a small dish in the laboratory, not in a tube, and the embryo is then placed in the mother's womb, where the pregnancy grows in the normal way. Whichever version you watch, the doctor will explain at your consultation how each step applies to you. More of our doctor's talks in Konkani, on IUI, IVF and low AMH, are on our Konkani fertility videos page.
