A large
range of fertility issues can be overcome with the help of in vitro
fertilisation or IVF. In this procedure sperm and an egg are fused together
outside the body, in a laboratory with the help of specialised equipment and
modern technology. The fertilised egg or the embryo is kept in a protected
environment for a few days to grow to a certain point before transferring it
into the woman’s uterus. This increases the chances of attaining pregnancy. In
vitro fertilisation has helped a lot of couples with fertility issues and
helped them get a baby of their own.
Most kinds
of fertility problems are handled by this technique. You fertility specialist
accompanied with a group of experienced nurses, scientist and counsellors. You
will receive a high quality treatment as it is quite expensive and your chances
of getting pregnant are more on your first time. An egg from the woman is
collected and a sperm from her husband is taken. They are fertilised together
in an artificial medium to form the zygote. This is kept in a growth medium to
allow it to grow till the blastocyst stage. This embryo is then transferred
into the woman’s uterus to implant on its own to the uterine wall to cause
pregnancy. When the sperm quality of the male is compromised, the Intracytoplasmic
sperm injection technique is used. In this one sperm gets inserted into each of
the eggs.
A lot of
hormone regulation takes place artificially for the woman to produce the egg on
time and make her most suited to attain pregnancy. Hormone injections will be
given to you from before the treatment even begins. The follicle stimulating
hormone or FSH is administered at the correct moment of the menstrual cycle to
produce the eggs effectively and in the correct moment for the process to
begin.
