Lot of them have this misconception about the IVF procedure being painful. It is not really so. What is important to know is you will have multiple pricks because you will have to take multiple injections when you are getting prepared for the oocyte retrieval. It means that you have to take injections everyday. But the advanced formulation o injections come with a very small needle, with the insulin syringes that have 28 to 30 gauge needle, it will be very small pricks but yes you have to take to every small pricks everyday in order to prepare the follicles for mature oocytes to develop and then following the oocyte retrieval wherein the eggs are retrieved. It happens n the operation theatre and the patients completely put to sleep and the procedure is done under anaesthesia. Following the oocyte retrieval, another procedure that is done is the embryo transfer which is again done in the operation theatre. embryo transfer is a procedure to undergo intrauterine insemination where we transfer the embryos under ultrasound guidance. This is snot painful. What is important is there are progesterone injections. There are two formulations one the oily preparation and the other is the aqueous preparation. Aqueous preparations are really not painful and we are using only aqueous formulations of progesterone. So yes in that way IVF procedure means that you have to undergo multiple pricks and the whole treatment could go on for more than 2 weeks but the needle pricks are quite small. It is not all that painful.
