In vitro fertilization

In vitro fertilization

In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a reproductive technology that assists couples or individuals struggling with infertility in achieving pregnancy. The process involves fertilizing an egg with sperm outside the body in a laboratory setting, hence the term "in vitro," which means "in glass." IVF is typically recommended for individuals or couples who have difficulty conceiving naturally due to factors such as blocked fallopian tubes, low sperm count, ovulation disorders, or unexplained infertility. The procedure begins with ovarian stimulation using hormone medications to encourage the development of multiple eggs within the ovaries. These eggs are then retrieved through a minor surgical procedure and combined with sperm in a laboratory dish. After fertilization occurs, resulting embryos are cultured in the laboratory for a few days before one or more are transferred into the uterus to establish pregnancy.

While IVF offers hope for individuals struggling with infertility, it can be physically, emotionally, and financially demanding. The process involves multiple steps, frequent monitoring appointments, and the administration of hormone medications, which may lead to side effects such as bloating, mood swings, or ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). Additionally, IVF success rates vary depending on factors such as age, underlying cause of infertility, and the quality of eggs and sperm used. As a result, individuals undergoing IVF may experience significant stress, anxiety, and disappointment, particularly if multiple cycles are required to achieve a successful pregnancy. Despite the challenges, IVF has helped millions of individuals worldwide realize their dreams of parenthood and continues to be a valuable option for those facing infertility.
