Treatment process

Is IVF available in Andijan?

Yes. The Ankalife Andijan centre has served patients of the Fergana Valley since 2022: consultation, tests, stimulation and monitoring scans, egg retrieval, embryo transfer and follow-up — without travelling to Tashkent.…

Female reproductive health

Can I get pregnant with low AMH?

AMH is a hormone that reflects ovarian reserve — the approximate number of eggs. It shows quantity, not quality. So a low AMH does not mean "pregnancy is impossible", especially in younger women. What low AMH changes: —…

Male reproductive health

How should I prepare for a semen analysis?

The result of a semen analysis depends on preparation. Because values vary from sample to sample, doctors usually ask for at least two separate tests. Before the test: — 2–7 days of abstinence (shorter or longer changes…

Do you guarantee IVF results?

Promising a 100% guarantee of pregnancy or birth with IVF is not medically sound. The outcome depends on the woman's age, ovarian reserve, the condition of the uterus, sperm quality, embryo development and many other fac…

IVF

Do you only do IVF?

No, Ankalife is not limited to IVF alone. For couples who have difficulty conceiving, we offer IVF, ICSI, IMSI, micro-TESE, insemination, semen analysis and other reproductive health services. Every couple's situation …

How much does IVF cost in Tashkent?

You receive the exact amount as a single list before treatment starts — we do not add items during the cycle.

The cost depends on the protocol and on whether ICSI, genetic screening or embryo freezing are needed.

How long does one cycle take?

About three weeks from the start of stimulation to the hCG test. You come to the clinic 4–5 times.

You do not need to stop working, and no hospital stay is required — all procedures are outpatient.

No sperm was found in my husband's sample. Is that the end?

No. In azoospermia sperm can often be retrieved surgically — micro-TESE under an operating microscope.

A hormone profile and genetic testing come first; the plan depends on those results.

I was told my ovarian reserve is low. Is it too late?

A low AMH means there is less time — not that there is no time.

The protocol is chosen differently, and the decision is made after your first ultrasound and blood tests.

What is your success rate?

We do not publish a single overall percentage — it says nothing about your own case.

An overall figure mixes patients of different ages and diagnoses. At the consultation your doctor gives a realistic outlook based on your own results and explains what it is based on.

What should I bring to my first consultation?

Bring previous examination results, test reports and a list of current medicines, if available.

When is a treatment plan decided?

A personal plan is made after reviewing history, examination and any necessary tests.

Can treatment be prescribed remotely?

No. Messaging provides preliminary information; diagnosis and treatment require physician assessment.
