Think IVF requires the same anesthesia as a major surgery? Not quite.
For egg retrieval, IVF commonly uses conscious sedation, where you remain breathing on your own while being kept comfortable and relaxed during the procedure.
The procedure typically takes just 15–20 minutes, with recovery usually taking around 1–2 hours before going home the same day.
At Hope Plus IVF, anesthesia is administered under the supervision of a trained anesthesiologist, with patient safety and comfort as priorities.
