My second IVF transfer is next week and I am so anxious. My mother wants me to ask an astrologer whether the date is good. Should I change it?
Please do not change a date your doctor has set; the clinic times it to your body. I am happy to look at your chart with you. Share your birth details and we can talk about this week, one step at a time.
Short answer
During IVF, IUI or other fertility treatment, follow your doctor: the clinic sets the cycle, the transfer day and every medicine. In Vedic astrology an astrologer can read your 5th house and running period, and talk through the stress of waiting. No chart should move a medical date or replace a step of treatment. On Kismo, verified astrologers listen by chat or call, online from anywhere, between clinic visits.

What does an astrologer look at during fertility treatment?
An astrologer looks at a narrow set of things during fertility treatment, because the doctor already holds the plan. Kismo is an app where you talk to verified Vedic astrologers by chat or call, in 16 languages.
- The 5th house and its lord, as for any question about children, read once and not every cycle 5.
- The period running now. Phaladeepika 12.25 to 12.29 links the birth of a child with the periods of the 5th lord and Jupiter 5.
- The conception chart, which the texts read but treatment cannot follow. Phaladeepika 12.30 and 12.31 time a birth from the nisheka and adhana lagnas, the moment of conception 5.
- The simple practices the text itself suggests. Phaladeepika 12.23 names japa, gifts and good deeds, none of which needs a fee or touches treatment 5.
What changes the answer when you are already in treatment?
- The stage you are in. Before a cycle, during stimulation, after a transfer or after a failed cycle each call for a different kind of talk, not a different chart.
- Your age. Live birth rates per embryo transferred fall sharply with age in clinic data, which a chart reading cannot change 1.
- Fresh or frozen transfer. Clinics plan each differently, and the date belongs to the clinic either way 1.
- How you are coping. If the wait is too heavy, a counsellor or Tele-MANAS on 14416 comes before any reading 6.
How likely is IVF to work, and what does treatment cost people?
IVF success depends most on age. In the UK regulator's 2024 data, the average birth rate per embryo transferred was 30%: 38% for patients aged 18 to 34 and 8% for those aged 43 to 44 1. Multiple births fell to 3.2% 1.
Treatment is often repeated. In 2024, 64,000 UK patients went through more than 100,000 treatment and freezing cycles, and frozen transfers were 48% of IVF cycles 1. One failed cycle is common and is not a verdict.
Cost is a barrier in most countries. The WHO says fertility care is rarely in national health coverage packages, and high costs of medicines block access 3. In one Indian survey, only 33% of district hospitals used gonadotropins to induce ovulation, and 8% offered hysteroscopy 4.
| Fact | Figure | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Average IVF birth rate per embryo transferred, UK 2024 | 30% | 1 |
| Age 18 to 34 / age 43 to 44 | 38% / 8% | 1 |
| District hospitals using gonadotropin induction, India | 33% | 4 |
| Penalty for advertising sex-selective ART, India | 5 to 10 years, ₹10 to 25 lakh, or both | 2 |
India's ART Act forbids clinics from advertising sex-selective services, with 5 to 10 years in prison, a fine of ₹10 to 25 lakh, or both 2. A Kismo astrologer can listen and read your chart between visits. A Kismo astrologer cannot raise your odds, pick a transfer day or judge a clinic's advice.
What does a careful astrology session during IVF look like?
A careful astrology session during IVF starts with the treatment plan and stays inside it. This is an example of how such a session can run, not a real client's chat.
- The astrologer asks where you are in the cycle, and says early that the doctor's dates stay as they are.
- The astrologer reads the 5th house and the running period once, in plain words, without a forecast for this cycle.
- Most of the time goes to the wait: what you fear, who supports you, how to get through the two weeks after a transfer.
- If a free practice helps you, such as a short prayer or charity, the astrologer suggests it and asks for nothing more.
- The session ends with the next step being the clinic's, and a note that a counsellor is there if the stress grows.
What do people get wrong about this?
Belief: An astrologer should pick the embryo transfer date.
The transfer day is part of your fertility doctor's treatment plan, and only the doctor can change it. Phaladeepika's own remedies for children, japa, gifts and good deeds, need no special date 5.
Belief: A failed IVF cycle means the chart has no child in it.
Even for patients under 35, most embryos transferred do not lead to a birth, about 62% in UK 2024 data 1. Doctors adjust the next cycle; the chart has not changed.

Questions people ask
Can astrology tell me if my IVF will be successful?
No, astrology cannot tell you whether an IVF cycle will succeed. Success depends mostly on age, the embryos and the clinic, and doctors can give you real odds from your own tests. An astrologer can read your chart and the period you are running, and help you through the wait. Treat anyone who promises a positive result as a red flag.
Should I choose my embryo transfer date by muhurta?
No, keep the embryo transfer date your doctor sets. The clinic times it to your body, your medicines and the embryo, and shifting it can cost the cycle. If your family wants a muhurta, a prayer on the day the doctor chose keeps both. Your doctor's plan comes first in every step.
Which mantra or remedy can I do during IVF treatment?
A simple prayer, japa or charity you do yourself can sit beside IVF, and Phaladeepika names exactly these practices. Avoid anything that touches your body or medicines, such as herbal mixtures, fasting or gemstone powders, without asking your doctor. Never pay for a costly ritual under pressure.
My IVF failed twice. Does my kundli show I can never have a baby?
No, a failed IVF cycle says nothing final about your chart or your future. Even in the youngest age group, most single embryo transfers do not lead to a birth, and doctors change the plan for the next cycle. An astrologer can read your chart with you, but your clinic decides what to try next.
Can I talk to an astrologer during IVF without leaving home?
Yes, you can talk to an astrologer during IVF from home on Kismo, by chat or call, at your own pace between clinic visits. The rate starts from ₹15 a minute, and the first session carries 5 free minutes with no card needed. Only the minutes you use are charged from your wallet.
What are the red flags of an astrologer during fertility treatment?
The red flags are advice to stop or delay treatment, a promised positive test, a son promised through a puja, or medicines sold outside your doctor's plan. A careful astrologer stays out of medical choices. On Kismo, pressure or asking for money outside the app counts as misconduct and is handled by a person.
