In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) can be a reliable fertility option to assist in conception if you and your partner are appropriate candidates. There are many variables involved in IVF, and it’s important you understand what the process entails.
What is IVF?
In Vitro Fertilization is the most effective form of Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART). This complex procedure involves combining sperm and eggs outside the body in a laboratory to cause fertilization. Once an embryo or embryos form, then the embryo is placed into a woman’s uterus to grow inside the body naturally.
Who is the ideal IVF candidate?
IVF can be an ideal treatment option for women who have been diagnosed with endometriosis, antibody difficulties that could harm sperm or eggs, or problems related to the uterus, fallopian tubes or ovulation. IVF is usually a prospective option for women over the age of 35 wanting to conceive and can also assist when there is decreased sperm count in men. This is also a solution for a variety of fertility issues including: absent or blocked fallopian tubes, poor sperm counts, endometriosis and immunological fertility.
