IVF i.e. In Vitro Fertilization or commonly known as Test-Tube Baby process is considered as the revolution in the field of infertility management. Since the birth of the first IVF baby Louise Brown on 25 July 1978, the field of IVF is expanding rapidly with newer techniques to the extent that 80% of infertility cases are now treatable.
The IVF Process
IVF is an advanced ART method where fertilization of egg and sperm followed by early embryonic development, takes place outside the human body through combination of medication and surgical intervention.
In IVF, the woman is given hormonal injections for 8 to 12 days to produce more number of eggs (10-15) and the monitoring is done with trans-vaginal ultrasound. When we get the desired response, the woman is given ovulatory trigger and after 34-36 hours of this injection, the eggs are taken out from the ovaries through ultrasound guided special needle under short anesthesia. These eggs are then incubated with washed sperms in a petri dish. The sperm penetrate the egg and fertilization happens. The embryos thus formed are cultured under controlled conditions in the incubators. After 3-5 days of culture, 1-2 best embryos are selected and transferred back in the uterus of woman with the help of a special catheter. The woman is prescribed medications for 2 weeks and then the pregnancy test is done.
IVF is the most suitable option for couples facing infertility challenges. Success rate in IVF depends upon multiple factors:
- First and foremost is the age of the woman,
- Underlying cause & duration of infertility,
- Knowledge, training and expertise of the IVF specialist
- Last but not the least is the quality control inside the IVF lab.
On an average 50-60 % couples get pregnancy in their first IVF cycle and after 3 cycles up to 80 % of them conceive. IVF is an absolutely safe procedure. Neither the woman undergoing IVF nor the baby conceived through it, are at any type of risk.
