Ivf treatment in India is possible because some medical tourism companies are arranging it at a low cost. In one IVF approach, 0.1ml of Lucrin is injected daily under the skin of your tummy (abdomen) daily from about day 21 of the preparation cycle until the day of the HCG trigger. This medicine suppresses your pituitary gland in your brain from producing the triggering Luteinizing hormone (LH). This prevents spontaneous LH surge from interfering with the timing of egg collection. In the actual IVF cycle, Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) (Gonal F) 150 to 600 units is injected under the skin of your tummy daily ten or eleven days in order for you to produce multiple eggs for collection. After seven days of injections, you will have your blood taken for assessment of the estrogen hormone level and an ultrasound scan is performed to look for the number and size of your follicles. When it judged that your follicles are mature, a triggering dose of Human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) (Pregnyl) 10,000 units, which mimics natural LH, is injected at about 11 pm at night.

This completes the final ripening of your eggs. After oocyte recovery, you will be given an implantation promoting hormone, progesterone (Crinone) 90mg to insert into the vagina two times a day for twenty days.. This increases the receptivity of the internal lining of your uterus (endometrium) to your embryos. For cases where hyper-stimulation is anticipated, instead of HCG, luteal phase support is augmented with Estradiol valerate (Progynova) 2mg, two tablets three times a day from the day after egg collection for the next 20 days. Luteal phase support is also augmented by oral Duphaston 10mg three times a day for the next 20 days. These medicines have been specially selected because of a favorable record of giving consistent and optimal response for IVF. In the case of international patients, ivf treatment in India is usually prompted by the desire – or need – to have procedures done on the cheap in cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Goa.
