In-House IVF

What is IVF or In-Vitro Fertilization?

In-Vitro fertilization or IVF is the most powerful and successful assisted reproductive technology procedure with maximum clinical pregnancy rate in a month. From the years when it was just a buzzing word and also a curious process – something which gave birth to squeaking test tube babies; IVF has come such a long way.

IVF is different from the more straightforward of intracytoplasmic sperm injection — the here’s-a-little-concentrated-sperm-in-your-uterus, you-pretty-much-know-how-this-works approach because in IVF eggs and sperm are combined outside of the body in a laboratory.

After fertilisation an embryo is developed and this is placed in the uterus. The process could be performed using the egg or sperm of one of the parents, or a donor. In case of inability to carry an embryo in the uterus, a gestational carrier(someone who has the embryo implanted inside their uterus) is used.

The main situations where IVF treatment is used are:-

IVF treatment is used mainly in following cases:-

Tubal disease.
Endometriosis (When tissue like that lining the inside of your uterus — the endometrium — grows outside your uterus)
Low sperm count
Ovulation problems
Unexplained infertility- This is a situation when there is nothing wrong with the body as possible cause of infertility.
Cervical mucus that is not receptive- This type of mucus surrounding the cervix blocks sperm from entering your uterus and fallopian tubes.

In all other infertility scenarios, IVF (in-vitro fertilization) is not the initial mode of treatment unless there is absolute blockage of both fallopian tubes. This is a resorted option used when other approaches like fertility drugs, surgery and artificial insemination are not effective.)

So the first step is that they inject hormones so you have dozens of eggs instead of just one each month. They are fetched just after the process of ovulation begins. On the same day, sperm from your partner be collected and your eggs will be fertilised

This takes a couple of days before your embryo has developed and then it is inserted directly into your uterus or the carriers’ in a catheter. Typically, one or two embryos are implanted but some experts maintain that no fewer than three embryos should be transferred for a better success rate. However, it may bring the side effect of multiple pregnancy and this is really dangerous for both, you as well as your baby

Complications and Side effects:-

The complexity of In-Vitro Fertilization and the use of hormone injections and medications can result in some complications such as:
Multiple pregnancies- As discussed earlier, this occurs when two or more embryos are implanted in the uterus. Though there had been advances like the use of blastocyst culture and Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidies (PGT-A), wherein the efficacy of single embryo transfer is increased;
Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome-OHSS-is due to excess secretion of hormones due to hormonal injections made an integral part of the IVF procedure. This causes the ovary to enlarge and to leak fluids.
Miscarriage
Ectopic Pregnancy-Ectopic pregnancy occurs when the embryo is implanted in the fallopian tube rather than the uterine lining. It can result in severe complications, such as heavy internal bleeding.
