In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF)
What is In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF)?
In Vitro Fertilisation, commonly known as IVF, is a complex series of procedures used to help with the conception of a child. It includes retrieving mature eggs from a woman's ovaries, fertilizing them with already preserved sperm in a lab, and then implanting the fertilized egg (embryo) into the uterus.
What is the process of IVF?
Ovarian Stimulation
Fertility medications are given to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs.
Egg Retrieval
Mature and good eggs are retrieved from the ovaries through a minor surgery.
Fertilization
The retrieved eggs are fertilized with sperm in a lab, either through conventional fertilization or ICSI.
Embryo Transfer
Selected healthy embryos are transferred into the uterus through a small catheter.
Why Should One Consider IVF?
Blocked Fallopian Tubes
Bypasses tubal issues completely
Male Infertility
ICSI helps with low sperm count/motility
Endometriosis
Helps achieve pregnancy despite condition
Genetic Screening
PGT available for genetic disorders
