What is IVF and how does it work?

May 8, 2017 by Basil C. Puglisi Leave a Comment

In-vitro fertilization (IVF) is a popular method for couples who suffer from fertility problems. While IVF is not for everybody because of certain standards, you should not rule out your chances. IVF can be very expensive and you should only consult professionals in the field, most likely on a recommendation from your obstetrician or gynecologist. Before choosing to do IVF, it is important to do research and explore all of your other options as IVF can be very expensive and there are no guarantees.

IVF can be a very expensive solution to a couple’s fertility problems. It is usually a good idea to get a recommendation from your OB-GYN for a doctor or clinic that has a good reputation for IVF. Be sure to do thorough research on the procedures and the possible clinics. Your choice of a clinic should not be based solely on cost. Some clinics are not well equipped for the procedures and only want to profit off of a couple’s fertility struggles. This has been an ongoing issue since the popularity of IVF rose. Things to take into consideration when researching a clinic or doctor are the amount of time the clinic or doctor has been around, prior success rate for the clinic and the variation of methods offered. While price is important, most clinics will work with you if they are genuine with their services.

In vitro fertilization is the process of having your eggs removed through a syringe and later implanted into the uterus to attach to the lining. The process of the egg removal is quite simple. The procedure takes place in the operating room under a light sedation. An ultrasound is used to guide the doctors to the ovaries and a needle is inserted to remove the eggs. Many eggs are usually taken at once to increase chances of a successful IVF procedure. Once removed, the eggs are injected with the sperm to fertilize the egg. The egg is then placed into the uterus a few short days later. If the egg attaches to the lining, a successful pregnancy occurs. If the egg does not take, the procedure will be done again. Once a successful pregnancy occurs, the eggs are then frozen and preserved for future pregnancies, if desired.

In vitro fertilization or IVF has become a popular method for couples struggling with fertility issues. You should obtain a recommendation through your OB-GYN for a clinic or doctor who specializes in IVF. Through the process, eggs are taken from a woman’s ovaries and injected with sperm in the lab. A few days after the eggs are fertilized, they are planted in the woman’s uterus with hopes of attaching to the lining and resulting in a successful pregnancy. While the treatment can be expensive, leftover eggs are frozen for future usage and the doctors are usually skilled in helping couples to achieve a good success rate.
