IVF or in vitro fertilization is a major treatment in resolving infertility problems, especially when other methods (usually the lesser expensive ones) like the assistive reproductive technology have failed. In vitro diagnostics suggest that a successful infertility treatment requires essentially- healthy ova, availability of a sperm that is able to fertilize and the availability of a uterus that can sustain a pregnancy.
The IVF process
IVF is an infertility treatment process that involves the fertilization of egg cells by sperm ‘in vitro’ i.e. outside the womb. The ovulatory process is controlled hormonally by removing the eggs (ova) from the female’s ovaries and letting their fertilization occur by a sperm in a fluid medium. The zygote or the fertilized egg is then transferred on to the patient’s uterus to facilitate a successful pregnancy.
The IVF process can be summarized systematically into the following five stages:
1.Ovarian stimulation.
2.Egg retrieval.
3.Fertilization.
4.Selection (of the most suitable embryo)
5.Embryo transfer.
