IVF Treatment

What is IVF Treatment?

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) or popularly called IVF Treatment in short is a technique of treating infertility using an assisted reproductive technology. It mainly involves combining the eggs and sperm artificially — outside the human body. In this process, using a natural selection of the egg usually allows only one sperm to enter. This then leads to a successful fertilization process in the laboratory itself.

After fertilization, the embryo is allowed to grow for a short span of time before getting implanted in the uterus. A successful ivf pregnancy is then confirmed nearly 2 weeks later.

IVF is one of the most common and successful techniques available for improving the chances of conception.

Why IVF Treatment is needed?

There are few medical conditions where the use of IVF can be a boom for couples wanting a conception. These are as listed below:

Blocked or damaged fallopian tubes(that could make it difficult for an egg to be fertilized or for an embryo to travel smoothly to the uterus)
Male infertility (men with a low sperm volume, weak movement of sperm i.e. poor mobility, or an abnormal sperm size and shape can make it difficult for the sperm to fertilize the egg)
Unexplained infertility (a condition where the cause of infertility remains unknown even after a detailed investigation)
Ovulation disorders (mainly a condition where ovulation fails to take place)
Premature ovarian failure (a condition medically called the ‘premature ovarian insufficiency’ (POI) that leads to a loss of the function of ovaries before the age of 40 years)
Endometriosis (when the lining of the uterus called the womb starts to grow outside of the uterus)

Procedure of IVF Treatment

So, what exactly is involved in the process of vitro fertilization?

Well, first the ovaries are prepared for stimulation. Then the eggs are collected and fertilized. Finally the embryo is transferred.

Steps of IVF Treatment

Ovary preparation for stimulation

Ovary preparation for stimulation
After that, she may be given ivf fertility drugs to activate the egg production
Multiple eggs are produced and used for fertilization later, as per the requirement
Trans-vaginal ultrasound is undertaken to study the ovaries
Blood test samples are taken to confirm hormone levels

Egg collection

Minor surgical procedure used involving ultrasound imaging
Inserting a needle through the vagina into each ovary
Eggs collected through the needle

Egg fertilization

A sample of sperm given by the male partner or donor
The sample combined with the eggs
The collected eggs mixed with partner (or donor) sperm, as the case maybe
Storage in a laboratory to encourage the fertilization process
In case the male partner has low sperm count, intracytoplasmic sperm injection or ICSI technique might be needed — here, a single sperm is injected into the egg in an attempt to attain fertilization.
The fertilized eggs or the embryosallowed to grow in the lab for few days before getting transferred to the uterus

Embryo transfer

Best appearing embryos selected for transfer
Physician passes a small tube through the cervix into the uterus for transferring the embryos
The female can usually leave the clinic after a short rest
A successful implantation generally takes place around six to ten days following an egg retrieval
