While fertility can vary individually, it's generally advisable to seek evaluation after one year of trying to conceive (or after six months if over age 35). Lakshmi IVF offers early fertility assessments to guide your journey.
Prenatal visits typically begin monthly until 28 weeks, then bi-weekly until 36 weeks, and weekly thereafter. Your care plan at Lakshmi IVF is personalized based on your health and pregnancy progress.
Heavy bleeding, severe cramping, dizziness, and persistent vomiting are potential warning signs. Contact Lakshmi IVF immediately if you experience any of these symptoms.
Preparation involves lifestyle adjustments, lab tests, and hormonal evaluations. At Lakshmi IVF, your doctor will guide you through every phase—from pre-cycle prep to post-transfer care.
Please bring any prior medical records, reports of blood tests or ultrasounds, your ID proof, and a list of medications. This helps us personalize your care at Lakshmi IVF.

Fertility tests typically include hormonal bloodwork, ultrasound scans, semen analysis, and sometimes specialized procedures like hysteroscopy or AMH testing to evaluate egg reserve.

No, complete bed rest isn’t necessary. Gentle movement and normal activity are usually fine. We advise avoiding heavy lifting and intense workouts post-transfer. Follow your doctor’s guidance closely.
In IUI, washed sperm is inserted directly into the uterus during ovulation. IVF involves stimulating the ovaries, retrieving eggs, fertilizing them in the lab, and transferring an embryo into the uterus.
An IVF cycle typically takes 4 to 6 weeks, including ovarian stimulation, egg retrieval, fertilization, and embryo transfer. Lakshmi IVF provides step-by-step guidance and emotional support throughout.
Yes, egg retrieval is done under light sedation or general anesthesia to ensure your comfort. Embryo transfer, however, is a simple and painless procedure that usually doesn’t require anesthesia.

Embryo freezing (cryopreservation) stores unused embryos for future use. It's ideal if you're planning for later pregnancy, had extra viable embryos, or preparing for frozen embryo transfer (FET).
If IVF fails, we assess the cycle thoroughly, review embryo quality, and adjust protocols. Many patients succeed on subsequent attempts with personalized care and ongoing emotional support.
IUI is a quick and generally painless outpatient procedure. You may feel slight cramping, similar to a Pap smear. The entire process usually takes less than 10 minutes.
You can take a blood test (beta hCG) about 10–14 days after embryo transfer. We schedule this test at Lakshmi IVF to confirm pregnancy accurately and guide you on next steps.
You should schedule your first prenatal appointment as soon as you suspect or confirm your pregnancy, ideally between 6–8 weeks of gestation.
Folic acid, iron, calcium, and vitamin D are essential during pregnancy. Your Lakshmi IVF doctor will prescribe a prenatal vitamin based on your needs and blood work.

Most women begin to feel fetal movement between 18–22 weeks of pregnancy. If you're not feeling any movement by week 24, notify your doctor.
Typically, ultrasounds are done at 6–8 weeks, 12 weeks (NT scan), 18–22 weeks (anomaly scan), and third trimester growth scans. Additional scans may be advised if needed.

A Pap smear is a test to screen for cervical cancer. Women should start testing at age 21 and repeat every 3 years or as advised by their gynecologist.
Irregular periods can be normal during adolescence or perimenopause, but persistent irregularity should be evaluated to rule out PCOS or thyroid issues.
Pelvic pain may result from menstrual cramps, endometriosis, cysts, or infections. If it's persistent or severe, a medical consultation is recommended.
