The IVFandICSI Path to Parenthood.

What is in the guide

• The Journey Map. All 8 stages with what happens medically, what it tends to feel like, and what to ask at each stage.
• The 12 Scenarios. Patient-POV essays for the most common moments in a fertility journey, filed by stage.
• Decoding your reports. AMH, FSH, AFC, and semen analysis in plain language with WHO 2021 reference bands.
• Costs and financial planning. Why we do not publish a fixed price list, how ikivana puts together a personalised cost plan before treatment begins, and the questions worth asking your financial counsellor.
• Sixty questions for your doctor. Specific, evidence-anchored questions, organised by stage.
• The things nobody tells you. The emotional realities, the day-after-failure protocol, why IVF takes more than one cycle on average.

Who it is for

For anyone trying to read their way into clarity before their first fertility consultation. For anyone in the middle of a cycle who wants the next stage explained. For anyone who has had a failed cycle and needs structure for the debrief. For partners and family members who want to understand what their loved one is going through.

About the translations

All three editions are live. The Hindi and Bengali versions are transcreated by fertility-aware bilingual writers and reviewed by practising Indian fertility specialists - not machine-translated word-for-word, but rewritten so each chapter reads as naturally as the English. Drug names and reference values are localised for an Indian readership.
