In this article, we will explain what In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is and how it works.

What is IVF?

In Vitro Fertilization, commonly known as IVF, is an assisted reproductive technology (ART) that helps couples who are struggling with infertility to conceive. IVF involves fertilizing an egg outside the body and then implanting it into the uterus to achieve pregnancy. It has been a groundbreaking advancement in the field of fertility treatment.

How Does IVF Work?

The IVF process consists of several key steps:

Ovulation Stimulation: The woman undergoes hormonal therapy to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs. Regular monitoring and ultrasounds are performed to track egg development.

Egg Retrieval:Once the eggs are mature, a minor surgical procedure called egg retrieval is performed. A thin needle is used to collect the eggs from the ovaries.

Sperm Collection:A sperm sample is collected from the male partner or a sperm donor.

Fertilization:In the laboratory, the collected eggs and sperm are combined to facilitate fertilization. The fertilized eggs, now called embryos, are closely monitored for development.

Embryo Culture:The embryos are cultured in a controlled environment for a few days to allow them to grow and develop.

Embryo Transfer:One or more healthy embryos are selected for transfer into the woman's uterus. This is a relatively simple and painless procedure.

Pregnancy Test:A pregnancy test is conducted approximately 10-14 days after the embryo transfer to determine if the procedure was successful.

When is IVF Recommended?

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) may be recommended as a fertility treatment option for couples or individuals facing certain reproductive challenges. IVF is typically considered when other less invasive fertility treatments have not been successful or are not suitable for the specific circumstances.

Here are common situations in which IVF may be recommended:

Blocked or Damaged Fallopian Tubes: A woman's age is one of the most significant factors influencing IVF success. Younger women typically have a higher chance of success because they tend to produce healthier eggs with better developmental potential. As women age, the quality and quantity of their eggs decline, which can reduce IVF success rates.

Male Infertility: When male infertility factors, such as low sperm count, poor sperm motility, or abnormal sperm morphology, are contributing to fertility problems, IVF with intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) may be suggested. ICSI involves injecting a single sperm directly into an egg to facilitate fertilization.

Unexplained Infertility: In cases where the cause of infertility cannot be identified despite thorough testing, IVF may be recommended as it can overcome various undiagnosed fertility issues.

Advanced Maternal Age: As women age, their ovarian reserve (number and quality of eggs) decreases, and the chances of natural conception decline. IVF can be recommended for women over the age of 35 or those with diminished ovarian reserve.
