In the realm of assisted reproductive technologies, In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) emerges as a beacon of optimism for couples grappling with infertility, presenting novel avenues to achieve conception.

Understanding IVF

In Vitro Fertilization is a medical procedure entailing the fusion of eggs and sperm beyond the body, within a laboratory environment. The process unfolds across distinct phases, each meticulously orchestrated. Initiated with fertility medications to stimulate ovaries and induce multiple egg production, mature eggs are gently retrieved through minimally invasive surgery. These eggs are then paired with sperm in a controlled setting to facilitate fertilization. Upon confirming fertilization, resulting embryos are vigilantly cultured before one or more are selected for uterine transfer. Roughly two weeks post- embryo transfer, a pregnancy test determines the procedure’s success.

IVF’s Relevance

IVF offers hope in varied medical conditions like blocked fallopian tubes, endometriosis, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), male infertility, unexplained fertility, or genetic disorders.
