Understanding IVF Treatment

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is a complex fertility treatment that helps couples and individuals achieve pregnancy. The process involves several key stages:

  • Ovarian Stimulation

    Medication to stimulate egg production, with regular monitoring via blood tests and ultrasounds.

  • Egg Collection

    A minor surgical procedure to collect mature eggs under sedation or light anesthetic.

  • Fertilization

    Eggs are fertilized with sperm in the laboratory, either through standard IVF or ICSI.

  • Embryo Transfer

    Selected embryo(s) are transferred to the uterus, with spare embryos frozen for future use.

Is IVF Right for You?

IVF May Be Suitable For:

  • Couples who have been trying to conceive for 1-2 years without success
  • Women with blocked or damaged fallopian tubes
  • Cases of male factor infertility
  • Women with endometriosis or PCOS

Important Considerations:

  • Success rates vary significantly with age
  • Treatment can be physically and emotionally demanding
  • Multiple cycles may be needed
  • Financial implications and funding options
