Ivf Treatment

IVF Treatment An overview

IVF TREATMENT  In vitro fertilization literally translates to ‘fertilization in

glass’ which is one of the best ways to start a family for people who have been tested infertile.  This process involves an egg which is fertilized by a sperm outside the body.  The treatment requires monitoring and stimulating a woman's ovulatory process, removing of the ovum or ova i.e. egg or eggs from the woman's ovaries and letting the sperm fertilize them.

Fertilization is done in a lab in a fluid medium. The zygote or the fertilized egg is then cultured for 2 to 6 days in a medium and is then implaAnted in the same or another woman's uterus. .

The IVF treatment typically has four steps beginning with ovulation Induction. During this, fertility drugs are injected to stimulate a woman's ovaries. This is done in order to develop multiple mature eggs

These multiple eggs increase the chances for fertilization and ultimately pregnancy. This is followed by the next step called Egg Retrieval.  At this stage, the eggs reach maturation and are then retrieved by an ultrasound-guided procedure. This process includes a needle being placed through the vaginal opening and into the ovaries
