What is In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)?

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is an assisted reproductive technology aimed at helping individuals and couples conceive. This process involves combining eggs and sperm outside the body in a laboratory. Here’s a brief overview of how it works:

The IVF Process

Ovulation Induction: Medications stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs.

Egg Retrieval: Eggs are collected through a minor surgical procedure.

Fertilization: Eggs and sperm are combined in the lab, where fertilization occurs.

Embryo Culture: Embryos develop in the lab for a few days.

Embryo Transfer: Embryos are transferred to the uterus, hoping for implantation and pregnancy.

Why Choose IVF?

IVF is suitable for various fertility issues, including blocked fallopian tubes, low sperm count, and unexplained infertility. It's also beneficial for those who want to perform genetic testing on embryos before pregnancy.

Considerations

IVF is an emotional and physical journey that requires commitment. The success of the procedure varies, and it’s important to consult with a fertility specialist.
