IVF - In Vitro Fertilization Treatment

IVF may be suggested for couples who are having difficulty developing owing to a variety of problems like:

• • Ovulation disorders–
    it happens if no reason of infertility can be found, even complete testing.

• • Unresolved infertility–
    These conditions, such as polycystic ovarian syndrome, also known as PCOS or not normal hormone levels, may affect egg release, reducing fertility.

• • Male factor infertility–
    occurs when a male’s number of sperm, motility, or shape becomes abnormal.

Procedure of IVF

• Stimulation: The healthcare provider administers hormones to stimulate egg production in the ovaries.
• Egg Retrieval: During a minor surgical procedure, healthcare providers collect mature eggs from the ovaries.
• Sperm Collection: Sperm sample is collected from the male partner or a donor.
• Fertilization: Eggs and sperm are linked up in a laboratory dish for fertilization.
• Embryo Culture: The healthcare provider transfers one or more healthy embryos to the uterus.
• Embryo Transfer: One or more healthy embryos are transferred to the uterus.
• Implantation: Successfully implanted embryos may result in pregnancy.
  
   
   
   

Causes of IVF :-

• Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS): Overstimulation of ovaries can lead to swelling and discomfort.
• Multiple Pregnancies: Increased chance of having twins, triplets, etc., with risks.
• Ectopic Pregnancy: Embryo implants outside the uterus, requiring immediate medical attention.
• Miscarriage: Slightly higher risk compared to natural conception.
• Birth Defects: Small increase in the likelihood of certain birth abnormalities.
