IVF Success Rate at Nisa
Accurate reporting of IVF success rate can be tricky and complex as hospitals have different approaches to treatments, and selecting patients. Besides, chances of success vary with a number of factors such as the indication for the procedure, age, the number of embryos transferred, and a variety of other factors that affect the quality of the lining of the womb (endometrium).
We however recognize that clients love to be assured that they are choosing the right centre in their fertility journey so generally, our success rate for IVF is between 40-60%, depending on the aforementioned factors. Our average success rate for 2018 was 53.7% and 48.1% in 2019.

Is IVF Expensive At Nisa?
The cost of IVF at Nisa is dependent on the type of treatment package you have chosen and also because each patient’s situation is unique, we cannot predict the exact price until you have been seen and attended to by a member of our team. Suffice to say that Nisa IVF caters to people of diverse economic backgrounds and we have developed packages for each cadre e.g. basic, standard, and VIP packages; we even provide subsidized services (Baby Hannatu Foundation)
How Long Does The IVF Process Take?
The length of the IVF process depends on the number of tests that are necessary, medication, and treatment plan. From the initial consultation to embryo transfer, one cycle of the IVF process can take about three to four weeks on average.
What Drugs Are Taken For IVF?
Some patients take birth control pills to regulate their menstrual cycle before medications are given. A combination of Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone and follicle-stimulating drugs are given in the weeks leading up to egg retrieval, followed by an injection of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG), shortly before the eggs are harvested. The hormones – estrogen and progesterone, are typically taken at the start of pregnancy; additional medications may also be recommended.
Does IVF Have Any Side Effects?
The side effects are few and far between – abdominal pain, bloating, weight gain, and breast tenderness. We take every precaution to avoid ovarian hyper stimulation syndrome (OHSS)
What Is Third Party IVF?
Third party IVF means that apart from the couple, there’s a need to enlist the help of another person. This may involve the use of sperm or eggs from a 3rd party. Occasionally, it may mean that another woman (a surrogate) carries the baby belonging to the couple.
There are ethical, religious, and social considerations when treatments involve a third party. Nisa IVF ensures full respect for the values, ethics, and religious inclinations of our highly esteemed clients
Can I Chose The Genotype & Sex Of My Baby At Nisa IVF Centre?
Various factors may necessitate a couple to seek a particular gender for their offspring, so yes, we offer services like Pre-Implementation Genetic Testing. Pre-Implementation Genetic Testing (PGT) involves the use of special technology alongside the IVF process to select and transfer unaffected and desired embryos. This will help achieve a genetically healthy embryo and have an unaffected offspring.
