Why You Should Consider Undergoing The IVF Procedure

By Valerie Donovan


In vitro fertilization or IVF is an assisted reproduction procedure that involves fertilizing an egg in a laboratory dish. This is procedure is a good option if you not able to conceive naturally. To perform this procedure, your doctor will first inject hormones in our body to ensure that you produce multiple ova each month, instead of one.

Prior to retrieving ova from your ovaries, your doctor will prescribe an injection of a medicine that ripens developing ova and starts the ovulation process. The right timing is essential for this procedure to succeed. Your doctor will carry out a blood test or perform an ultrasound to ensure that your eggs are at the right growth stage prior to retrieving them.

During the in vitro fertilization procedure, the physician performing it will locate the follicles in your ovary using an ultrasound and use a hollow needle to remove the ova. This procedure can take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour to complete. Immediately after your ova are retrieved, they will be placed in a Petri dish that contains organic material. Sperm from your partner or a donor will then be introduced artificially.

Fertilized eggs are cultured for three to five days. If these eggs, which are referred to as embryos after demonstrating at least six to eight cell reproduction cycles, one or a number of them will be implanted into your uterus. This procedure is completed easily and faster than retrieving eggs. Your doctor will insert a catheter through your birth canal and cervix and into your womb, to deposit the embryos.

Your physician may implant 3 to 4 embryos into your uterus to raise your chances of getting pregnant although this can also increase your chances of having twins or triplets. Once the procedure is completed, you will be asked to remain in bed for a number of hours. You will then be allowed to leave the hospital 4 to 6 hours later. Doctors usually carry out a pregnancy test two weeks after this assisted reproduction procedure.

When married people use in vitro fertilization, they can be sure that one of them will become a biological parent of their child. If both partners are infertile, this technique is still a great means of helping them have a baby. This technique is also ideal for women who are suffering from a gynecological problem such as endometriosis.

You can also opt for in vitro fertilization if you have problems with ovulation or a condition that affects the fallopian tubes. It is also a good option if your partner has a low sperm count and if his sperms are not able to penetrate your cervical mucus. Using this conception assistance technique is also ideal if you have tried using other techniques like tubal reversal surgery and fertility drugs unsuccessfully.

It is advisable for you to visit an IVF clinic that has achieved high success rates. Ensure that you get to know about the birth rate of patients who have undergone the procedure at the treatment centre and how many of them gave birth to twins. You should also inquire about service fees and if the clinic allows patients to donate their eggs
