What is IVF?
In vitro fertilization commonly known as (IVF) helps with fertilization, embryo development, and implantation, so one can get pregnant. It is one of the more widely known types of assisted reproductive technology (ART).
The most successful method of treating infertility involving the handling of eggs, embryos, and sperm is in vitro fertilization. This collection of medical procedures is referred to as assisted reproductive technology.
Why is IVF Done?
Genetic issues or infertility can be treated by in vitro fertilization. You and your partner may be able to explore other treatment options that entail fewer or no bodily procedures before undergoing IVF for infertility. Fertility medications, for instance, might stimulate the ovaries to produce more eggs. Close to the moment of ovulation, when an ovary produces an egg, sperm is directly inserted into the uterus through a process known as intrauterine insemination. IVF is occasionally recommended as the primary treatment for infertility in adults over 40. You can also do it if you have specific medical issues.
For example, IVF may be an option if you or your partner has:
- Fallopian tube damage or blockage.
- Ovulation disorders.
- Uterine fibroids
- Previous surgery to prevent pregnancy
- Issues with sperm
- Unexplained infertility.
- A genetic disorder
- A desire to preserve fertility due to cancer or other health conditions.
How does it work??
The procedure is done by combining medicines & surgical procedures to help sperm fertilize an egg& help the fertilized egg implant in your uterus. There is a medical procedure that needs to be taken into consideration. Firstly it is advised to take medication that will make several eggs mature and ready for the fertilisation process. Then the medical practioner will take the eggs out of the women’s body & mix them with sperm in a lab to help the sperm fertilize the eggs. Then one or more fertilized egg (embryos) is directly put into the uterus. There are chances of pregnancy if any of the embryos are implanted in the lining of the uterus.IVF has many steps & it will take several months to complete the entire procedure. For some people, it works on the first try but many have to try a second round of IVF to get pregnant. IVF will help in getting you pregnant but if you are having fertility problems then one cannot guarantee the IVF results as everyone’s body is different & IVF won’t work for everyone.

Certain individuals and couples may have better chances of getting pregnant with this medication. In perfect circumstances, only a few hundred sperm reach the egg during sexual activity
- ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection)– Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection, or ICSI, has shown to be very helpful for couples whose standard IVF treatment resulted in either poor or no fertilization, or in which the male partner’s sperm parameters were abnormal (e.g. low count, poor motility, a high percentage of abnormal sperms).
- Donor Egg Program– An anonymous or known donor’s eggs can be used for in vitro fertilization (IVF) with egg donation, an assisted reproductive technology that enables a recipient woman to become pregnant (if the donor is a family member or relative).
- Surrogacy– In surrogacy, a woman consents to give birth or undergo labor on behalf of another couple or individual who will raise the child after it is born. This arrangement is frequently backed by a legal contract.
- Platelet-rich-plasma- Before an embryo transfer, PRP can help the uterine lining’s endometrial receptivity. Usually, this is carried out 48 hours before the planned embryo transfer. Using an IUI catheter, roughly 3-5 mls are infused into the uterus during the procedure.
