About In Vitreo Fertilisation (IVF)
IVF involves retrieval of one or more eggs from the ovaries prior to release. Most IVF clinics usually recommend that the woman takes drugs, which cause the ovaries to mature several eggs in one cycle. This procedure is called controlled ovarian hyperstimulation. It increases the chances of producing several embryos. The eggs are collected or retrieved under anesthesia with the help of ultrasound. After collection, the eggs are mixed with the man’s sperm in a dish and placed in an incubator to be fertilized and so produce one or more embryos. These embryos are then replaced in the woman’s womb 48 hours after retrieval. If one or more embryo implants, a pregnancy begins. A pregnancy rate of 30- 35% per treatment cycle is expected.
IVF using donated eggs, sperm or embryos: IVF treatment in Delhi, India may be available using donated sperm if the male partner is infertile or using donated eggs if, for example, the woman has no eggs or responds poorly to ovarian stimulation. Donation might also be used if one of the couple is at risk of passing on a serious inherited disease.
Due to IVF women around the world have experienced the joy of being mother. Every woman can now enjoy the freedom of motherhood.
