IVF or In-vitro Fertilization is an ART solution which is routinely used to help couples facing fertility issues. It is more commonly known as the ‘Test-tube baby’ procedure.
It is the procedure by which the prepared sperm and ovum are made to fertilise under laboratory conditions; the embryo is then transferred back to the uterus of the female partner for further development.
IVF is offered as a primary treatment for infertility in women over age 40. IVF can also be done if you have certain health conditions. For example, IVF may be an option if you or your partner has:
Couple visits Prevoir IVF centre for consultation and tests.
Fertility Doctors explain the reason for infertility & discuss treatment options.
Female partner is provided with medications to stimulate ovaries for egg growth.
Couple visits Prevoir IVF centre for ultrasound monitoring of egg size.
A final trigger shot is given for maturation of eggs once the egg reach 16-18mm size.
Eggs are collected from the female ovary & given to embryology lab.
Sperm sample from male partner is retrieved through ejaculation or through TESA/PESA procedure.
Eggs and Sperm are brought in contact in controlled lab environment for Fertilisation to occur. Embryos are formed as a result of Fertilisation.
After 3 to 5 days of Fertilisation, embryo(s) is/are implanted to female's uterus where it attaches itself to the uterine lining for pregnancy to occur.
After 2 weeks of embryo transfer, blood test is done to check if embryos have implanted.
