What is IVF?

 

IVF or in vitro fertilization is a kind of Fertility treatment method (ART) This treatment involves several steps and can be a convenient choice for couples who are facing various fertility problems. IVF procedure means the Insemination of sperm into the egg outside the mother's body and in a laboratory environment. Then the embryo is transferred to the mother's womb for implantation and growth.
This method may be used to treat infertility due to various problems such as a mother’s blocked fallopian tubes, endometriosis, or very low sperm count and also may be used in cases where other fertility treatments have failed and have not resulted in pregnancy or childbirth. in vitro fertilization success rates depend on many factors. Some of the most important factors can be: the mom’s age, the number of embryos transferred, and the Doctor's diagnosis about the cause of infertility.

It is important to know that IVF is not often recommended as the first step in infertility treatment. In fact, it is only used when previous methods such as the use of fertility drugs, surgery, or artificial insemination (IUI) have failed. For couples in which one or both of them (husband and wife) have problems such as endometriosis, low sperm count, ovulation problems, antibody problems that damage sperm or eggs, or unknown fertility problems that ultimately lead to infertility, IVF may be a good option.
