IN VITRO FERTILIZATION
IVF
The word “in vitro” means in glass. In contrast, the word “in vivo” means inside living organism. IVF stands for In-vitro Fertilisation. Many people have heard of it but a few are aware of the process. The process of IVF involves the fertilisation of eggs outside the body of living organisms. It takes place in laboratory petri dishes. Later on, the fertilised egg (embryo) is transferred back to female’s uterus.
IVF Cycle
In some cases, pregnancy is achieved just after one IVF cycle but it differs from case to case. It takes 3 weeks for one IVF cycle to be completed. An IVF cycle requires some imperative steps to be done before it can begun. From beginning to the end, an IVF cycle involves the following steps:
1: At first when you visit an infertility centre, a number of tests are performed on both male and female. Such as, female’s ovarian condition is analysed on the other hand, male’s semen analysis takes place. Both undergo, diagnostic testing for the doctors to be sure whether they are prepared to for IVF
2: After the testing is done and doctors are sure that the couple can proceed with IVF the next step begins. It involves female’s ovarian stimulation. Through ovarian stimulation, the woman produces more than one egg per month. It is done through hormone injections. The injections are to be administered daily (as recommended by doctor) by the female herself with other medicines.
3: After her final injection, the eggs will be retrieved at the IVF centre. The process is done in about 20 minutes. Eggs are ready for fertilisation after they have matured.
4: The sperm retrieved from male is combined with the eggs in laboratory. The sperm fertilizes the eggs overnight.
5: The fertilized eggs are called embryo. Embryo are transferred back to female uterus aiming for her to achieve pregnancy.
Sometimes, infertility can be treated by using proper fertility medication as prescribed by the doctors.
