IVF in Egypt: Your Path to Parenthood
In vitro fertilisation (IVF) is a proven fertility treatment helping couples achieve their dream of parenthood. IVF in Egypt is internationally recognised for combining cutting-edge reproductive technology, highly experienced fertility specialists, and affordable pricing. With success rates reaching up to 70% in couples under 35, Egypt is becoming a top destination for fertility treatment.
At the forefront of this medical transformation is Dr Omar AbouAli, an Oxford-trained fertility expert practising at world-class IVF clinics in Cairo and Alexandria. His personalised, evidence-based approach is helping hundreds of families conceive each year.
What it is: IVF involves retrieving eggs and sperm, fertilising them in a laboratory, and transferring the resulting embryos into the uterus. It is commonly recommended for unexplained infertility, endometriosis, male factor infertility, or previous unsuccessful treatments.
Pre-Op: Pelvic and uterine ultrasound, hormonal blood tests, and semen analysis for the male partner.
Procedure (IVF Treatment Steps):
- Hormonal stimulation: Fertility medications are administered to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs.
- Egg retrieval: Eggs are collected from the ovaries using ultrasound-guided aspiration under light sedation.
- Sperm collection: Sperm is obtained from the male partner or a donor, depending on the case.
- Fertilisation: Eggs and sperm are combined in the lab using conventional IVF or ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection) techniques.
- Embryo transfer: The best quality embryo(s) are transferred into the uterus for implantation and potential pregnancy.
Post-Op: Patients are monitored for early pregnancy signs and any complications. Hormonal support, such as progesterone, may be provided to support embryo implantation.
Recovery: Light activity is recommended. Patients typically resume normal routines within 24–48 hours. A pregnancy test is conducted around 10–14 days after embryo transfer.
Length of Stay: We recommend a stay of 14–21 days in Egypt to complete hormonal preparation, egg retrieval, fertilisation, and embryo transfer.
