What Is In Vitro Fertilization?

In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a type of assistive reproductive technology (ART). It

involves retrieving eggs from a woman’s ovaries and fertilizing them with sperm. This
fertilized egg is known as an embryo. The embryo can then be frozen for storage or
transferred to a woman’s uterus.
 
Depending on your situation, IVF can use:

 your eggs and your partner’s sperm

 your eggs and donor sperm

 donor eggs and your partner’s sperm

 donor eggs and donor sperm

 donated embryos

Male Factor –    Very low count.

Female Factor –    Tubal – Blockage
Ovarian – Decreased Ovarian reserve /POF
Combination / Un-explained
How Do I Prepare for In Vitro Fertilization?

Before beginning IVF, women will first undergo ovarian reserve testing. This involves
taking a blood sample and testing it for the level of follicle stimulating hormone
(FSH). The results of this test will give your doctor information about the size and
quality of your eggs.
This may involve doing an ultrasound, which uses high-frequency sound waves to
create an image of your uterus. Your doctor may also insert a scope through your
vagina and into your uterus. These tests can reveal the health of your uterus and
help the doctor determine the best way to implant the embryos.
Men will need to have sperm testing. This involves giving a semen sample, which a
lab will analyze for the number, size, and shape of the sperm. If the sperm are weak
or damaged, a procedure called intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) may be
necessary. During ICSI, a technician injects sperm directly into the egg. ICSI can be
part of the IVF process.
Step 1: Ovulation Induction

Step 2: Egg Retrieval

Step 3: Fertilization

Step 4: Embryo Transfer and Implantation

Before and during the in vitro fertilization process, your fertility specialist will monitor
your ovaries and the timing of the egg release. The doctor will make sure that your
ovaries are producing eggs, and that your hormone levels are normal, among other
procedures.
Most women take fertility medicines or hormones at this time to stimulate the ovaries
to produce one or more eggs. Having several eggs available for IVF will increase the
chances that you will get pregnant.
After Embryo transfer Pregnancy is detected after 9 days of embryo transfer.
