According to Dr Tahir Masood Ahmed, if the expectant mother is under 35 and, after a year of traditional attempts to conceive, she has not been able to get pregnant, it is time to consult a specialist for a fertility assessment of both partners. However, it is advisable to make an appointment at a fertility clinic after six months of trying only if the woman is over 35 years old.
Once the cause of this lack of pregnancy is determined, whether due to male or female infertility problems or both, it will be easier to know what type of IVF treatment is best for the couple.
In this context, taking into account the age of the future mother is fundamental because, from the age of 35, her eggs are fewer in number and of poorer quality.
Value for money
In Pakistan, IVF treatment is only partially covered by social security and is only possible for women under 43. The IVF cost is in the average price range compared to other countries. Still, its value for money is excellent, with infrastructure and professionals at the forefront of their sector. Pakistan’s proximity also plays a significant role in the total cost of PMA beyond the treatment itself.
Success rate and quality
After more than 30 years of very open fertility regulation, Pakistan has accumulated considerable clinical experience. This head start explains the high level of highly qualified professionals and such high success rates.
More inclusive accessibility
Pakistani regulators have long made treatment more accessible for more patients, including women who want to be single mothers and lesbian couples. The laws are also more flexible on age limits, accepting patients up to 50, and other aspects such as body mass index above 30, which is also accepted in most Fertility Centers in Lahore.
No waiting list
In the Genova fertility centre, there are a large number of egg and sperm donors. More and more young girls are donating. This means that there are much shorter waiting times to start treatment in Pakistan compared to other countries. At Genova Fertility Centre Fertility, for example, once the diagnosis is made, you can start your IVF from the following cycle, and it takes, on average, 6 to 8 weeks for an IVF DO.

Apart from a particular situation where you may be requiring the donation of embryos twice, all that will be required of you will be the embryo transfer.
Ovarian puncture:
This is very easy and takes only 15 minutes maximum of your time. In puncture, the surrounding liquid with developed oocytes of the cycle is aspirated latch in the follicles.
