What is IVF?

IVF or in vitro fertilization is an assisted reproductive technology (ART). It is a treatment for infertility. It is considered one of the most effective in fertility treatments.

How Does it Work?

The steps of IVF includes:

• Collecting mature eggs from ovaries

• Fertilizing eggs with sperm in a lab.

• Placing these embryos into the uterus.

More than one embryo is placed in the uterus to increase the chances of getting pregnant.

Usually, an IVF cycle takes 2-3 weeks. Sometimes the steps are split, making the process longer.

Factors on Successful IVFs

Sometimes people have to go through more than one IVF procedure before successfully getting pregnant.

There are many factors contributing to these success rate of IVFs: BOX

• Age

• Cause of infertility

• Quality of Egg and sperm

• Uterine receptivity etc

IVF Options

Some women will have their IVFs done with no or fewer fertility drugs. It can be either because of a personal choice or a medical condition.

The latter may be because of:

• Risk of Ovarian Hyperstimulation (OHSS)

• Cancer patients using certain drugs can increase chance of worsening symptoms

Fewer or no drugs is generally considered a safer option but the success rate drastically drops without these drugs. It is divided into three.

Natural cycle IVF- using no fertility drugs

• Since ovaries are not stimulated this method can be repeated more frequently than standard IVF

• Lesser chance for multiple pregnancy

Mild stimulated IVF - Lower dose of fertility drugs over a shorter time.

• Reduces your treatment time

In vitro Maturation (IVM) - No hormone treatment

• Unlike IVF the eggs are taken before maturation. It can only be combined if you are opting ICSI

• Newer method, lesser birth history
