IN VITRO FERTILIZATION TREATMENT (IVF)

In vitro fertilization (IVF) is one of the treatment methods of assisted reproductive technology (ART) where an egg and sperm are fertilized outside of a woman’s body. It is a complex process that involves retrieving eggs from ovaries and manually combining them with sperm in a lab for fertilization. Several days after fertilization, the fertilized egg, which is now called an embryo) is placed inside the uterus. As soon as the embryo implants itself into the uterine wall, pregnancy occurs.

Couples with infertility issues or when one partner has an existing health condition choose IVF treatment. Some couples will try IVF after other fertility methods have failed or if they’re at an advanced maternal age.

As a complicated process with many steps IVF on average lasts four to six weeks. This includes the time before egg retrieval, when a woman takes fertility medication until they’re tested for pregnancy.

IVF is one of the most effective assisted reproductive technologies (ART’s) available and over 8 million babies have been born with IVF since 1978 when this technology was first introduced to people.
