Everything You Need to Know About IVF Treatment

If you're looking to start a family, IVF treatment is something you want to consider. However, knowing all the ins and outs of this artificial insemination process can be overwhelming. Let's take a look at everything you need to know about IVF treatment. 

Infertility is a very common condition in couples who are not willing or able to have children in their own lifetime. The most effective way of dealing with this situation, currently being used by millions all over the world, is to go for In Vitro Fertilizations (IVF). 

IVF requires your partner's egg and/or sperm to be fertilized in the laboratory under sterile conditions. This technique has saved so many lives and helped tens of thousands couples who were unable to have a baby naturally.

What is IVF treatment?

IVF (in vitro fertilizations) is a process that involves the use of a controlled laboratory environment to achieve pregnancy. It involves harvesting eggs from a woman, fertilising them with sperm and then placing the resulting embryos in her uterus.

IVF treatment normally involves two cycles of treatment. During the first cycle, an egg is removed from the woman's ovaries, fertilised with sperm in a lab and inserted into her uterus. The embryo is nurtured for about three days before it is transferred to the woman's uterus. If all goes well, one or more embryos will implant and begin developing into a baby.

The second cycle proceeds much as in the first cycle except that after transferring embryos to the uterus, only one or more will implant and continue developing into a baby.

Why IVF treatment works

IVF is a very expensive process, but it can be very effective. The success rate of IVF is usually around 60%, but that number varies depending on how many eggs and how many embryos are transferred.

A woman's fertility starts to decline after age 35. Because of this, some women who have been diagnosed with low egg reserves may decide to undergo IVF treatment when they reach their late 30s or early 40s. Women who have never had children before can also use IVF treatment to achieve their dream of becoming a parent.

IVF is a fertility treatment that involves fertilising an egg with sperm outside the body. It’s often used to treat infertility caused by problems with the woman’s Fallopian tubes or ovaries.

Does IVF work for every woman?

IVF is a relatively new technology and there are still many unknowns about how it works. It's possible that some women may have a hard time getting pregnant using IVF and that their bodies simply don't respond as well as those of other women.

It's also possible that some women will have fewer problems getting pregnant with IVF than they would with other methods. This is because most IVF cycles do not require any medication or surgery, which means that the woman's body doesn't need to fight against her own natural hormones, but instead can focus on building the embryo inside her womb.

IVF is an effective treatment for women who have failed to conceive after 12 months of unprotected intercourse. It can also be used to treat some causes of infertility caused by problems with the fallopian tubes (tubal disease) or ovaries (ovarian disease

Who can benefit from IVF?

If you're turned off by the long odds, don't be. Statistics say that more than half of all IVF cycles result in a live birth and many more give couples a chance at having children they might not otherwise have had. If you're one of the millions who, with this increased success rate, will be able to say: "We did it!" then maybe it's time to get started on IVF with your partner.
