IVF Treatment
A fertility procedure, In Vitro Fertilization Pre-Embryo Transfer (IVF-ET) was first successfully tested in the year 1978 by Dr. Edwards (an embryologist) and Dr. Steptoe (a gynecologist) in England. Since then, this technology has been refined and developed by physicians as well as embryologists, with a record of over 20,000 babies born worldwide through this medical technique.The possibility of continuing pregnancy achieved using IVF technique has improved one chance in 4 to 6 from practically nil at IVF centers worldwide.
Comprising of joining of a woman’s egg and a man’s sperm in laboratory dish, In vitro means “outside the body” and Fertilization means sperm being attached to and entered the egg. A harmonically controlled process, the process includes removing eggs from woman’s ovaries and collection of the male sperm. This is allowed to fertilize eggs in a fluid medium and later the zygote or fertilized egg is returned to woman’s uterus for pregnancy to proceed.
There are five basic steps to IVF:
Stimulation, also called super ovulation
Egg retrieval
Insemination & Fertilization
Embryo culture
Embryo transfer
