What is IVF?
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is an advanced reproductive technology offered to couples who are unable to conceive naturally. This method, known as “In Vitro Fertilization” (IVF), involves the fertilization of an egg and sperm outside the body in a laboratory setting. Once the embryo is created, it is placed in the uterus, and the pregnancy process begins. IVF treatment is widely used around the world as a successful solution to infertility problems.

Who is IVF Treatment Suitable For?
IVF treatment is generally recommended for the following situations:

  • Blocked Fallopian Tubes: When the fallopian tubes are blocked or damaged, natural fertilization can be difficult.
  • Male Factor Infertility: In cases where sperm count or quality is low, IVF can help achieve fertilization.
  • Endometriosis: For women with endometriosis, IVF treatment can increase the chances of pregnancy.
  • Unexplained Infertility: In cases of unexplained infertility, IVF is an effective treatment option.

Stages of IVF Treatment

  1. Ovarian Stimulation
    The ovaries are stimulated with various hormone medications to encourage the production of multiple eggs.
  2. Egg Retrieval
    Once the eggs mature, they are collected through a minor surgical procedure from the ovaries.
  3. Fertilization
    The retrieved eggs are fertilized in the laboratory by combining them with sperm. Embryos are formed at this stage.
  4. Embryo Transfer
    The healthiest embryo is selected and transferred to the woman’s uterus. A pregnancy test is typically performed 12-14 days later.

Success Rates of IVF Treatment
The success rates of IVF treatment depend on various factors such as the patient’s age, the cause of infertility, and the quality of the embryos. Success rates are generally higher in younger patients, but they may decrease with age. IVF offers high success rates for suitable candidates and helps thousands of couples conceive every year.

Benefits of IVF Treatment

  • Higher Chance of Pregnancy: One of the most effective methods for infertility treatment.
  • Repeatability: If the treatment is unsuccessful, it can be repeated.
  • Embryo Freezing: Excess embryos can be frozen and used in future cycles.
