Motherhoood Made Possible Through IVF

Immediate medical intervention is a must for all childless couples who wish to welcome their baby but are not successful due to various reasons. Assisted Reproductive Technology, commonly known as ART, helps these couples start their own family. The most common type of ART is In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF). 

Who should opt for IVF?

Women with gynaecological disorders that include chronic form of occurrences such as endometriosis, tumors, inflammatory processes, etc, frequent miscarriages, weak immune system, hormonal imbalance, lack of ovulation, and infantile genitalia can try IVF treatment.

In some cases, the reason why the couple cannot conceive even after trying could also be the male partner when the man has less or no sperm to fertilise the egg. The sperm fails to reach the egg to fertilise it. The sperm could be deformed or its shape may be irregular preventing from fertilising the egg. Hence, the quality and the quantity of the sperm matters during reproduction. In such cases, these men can opt for IVF treatment. 

IVF Procedure

As per this procedure, a couple's sperms and eggs are collected in a Petri dish or a glass dish (which is called 'in vitro' in Latin). The entire process is non-surgical and painless. The sperm fertilises the egg under the supervision of an embryologist. The couple is then asked to visit again after three to five days. Meanwhile, the embryo undergoes fertilisation and becomes a zygote. This zygote is placed into the uterus through the cervix with the hope of a successful pregnancy.

Each and every stage of this treatment is closely monitored with precision. The Stages of IVF Treatment are:

• Ovarian Hyper Stimulation: In this stage, fertility medications are injected in the body through different protocols for the sole purpose of stimulating the development of multiple follicles of the ovaries, thus increasing chances of pregnancy.
• Egg Retrieval: This stage involves injecting HCG just before the follicles split. The egg is then recovered for the procedure only when they have been fully matured.
• Readying the Egg and Sperm: Sperm washing has to be done in order to remove inactive cells and seminal fluid. This sperm is then ready to fertilise the  best quality eggs with oocyte selection for optimal chances of a successful healthy pregnancy.
• Embryo Culture: In the blastocyst stage, the culture of embryos is performed either artificially or using the female's own uterine lining.
• Embryo Selection: In this stage, the morphological scoring system is used to pick the highest scoring Embryo for optimum pregnancy rate.
• Embryo Transfer: The final stage of the IVF procedure is the transferring of the best embryo based on the number of cells it contains, to the uterus.

The whole IVF process may sound simple but, if not done in a quality medical center, it can lead to several complications in the later stages of pregnancy.
