In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)
IVF is a fertility treatment where eggs are fertilized with sperm outside the body, then transferred into the uterus for implantation.
What is IVF?
IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) is an advanced reproductive technology that allows fertilization outside the body. A female egg and male sperm are combined in a lab, and the best embryo is transferred into the uterus.
IVF Step-by-Step Process
- Pre-treatment evaluation: Blood tests, ultrasound, semen analysis
- Ovarian stimulation: Hormonal injections to grow multiple eggs
- Egg retrieval: Minor procedure to collect eggs
- Fertilization (usually via ICSI): Eggs fertilized in lab
- Embryo culture: Monitoring embryo growth in incubator
- Embryo transfer: Painless transfer into uterus
- Pregnancy test: Beta-hCG blood test after 12-14 days
Advantages of IVF
- Ability to select and transfer best embryos
- Option to freeze extra embryos
- Advanced techniques like ICSI, PGT available
- Useful for male infertility and tubal issues
Natural IVF Option
In natural IVF, no stimulation drugs are used. A single naturally matured egg is collected, fertilized, and transferred. This suits women with hormone sensitivity or poor response to stimulation.
Prevent Genetic Disorders with IVF
IVF makes it possible to conduct Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT-A, PGT-M) to screen embryos for genetic diseases before transfer.
Risks of IVF
- Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS)
- Multiple pregnancies (twins, triplets)
- Ectopic pregnancy
- Emotional stress and financial burden
