IVF
What is IVF?
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a medical procedure used to assist individuals or couples struggling with infertility in conceiving a child. During IVF, a woman’s eggs are retrieved from her ovaries and combined with sperm in a laboratory dish. This allows fertilization to occur outside the body, “in vitro,” which means “in glass.” The resulting embryos are monitored for a few days before one or more healthy embryos are selected for transfer into the woman’s uterus. If successful, the implanted embryo(s) can develop into a pregnancy. IVF may involve various techniques, such as intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), where a single sperm is directly injected into an egg, and preimplantation genetic testing (PGT), which screens embryos for genetic disorders before implantation. IVF has provided a pathway to parenthood for many couples facing fertility challenges,
| How is the procedures performed? |
| Ovarian Stimulation: Ovarian stimulation is a crucial step in the in vitro fertilization (IVF) process. It involves the administration of hormonal medications to a woman to encourage her ovaries to produce multiple mature eggs instead of the usual single egg that develops during a natural menstrual cycle. This increased egg production improves the chances of obtaining viable embryos for fertilization. |
| Egg Retrieval: Egg retrieval, also known as oocyte retrieval, is a minimally invasive surgical procedure performed under sedation. Using ultrasound guidance, a thin needle is inserted through the vaginal wall and into the ovaries to collect the mature eggs. These eggs are then taken to the laboratory for fertilization with sperm. |
| Sperm Retrieval: Sperm retrieval techniques are used when the male partner has difficulties producing sperm or has undergone a vasectomy. There are various methods, including testicular sperm aspiration (TESA), testicular sperm extraction (TESE), and percutaneous epididymal sperm aspiration (PESA). These procedures involve obtaining sperm directly from the testes or epididymis for later use in IVF or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) procedures. |
