In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) is a trusted medical procedure where the egg and sperm are fertilised outside the body in a carefully controlled laboratory setting.
If fertilisation is successful, the embryo is transferred to the woman’s uterus to support implantation and pregnancy, helping individuals and couples with infertility. It's a standard assisted reproductive technology (ART) used for various reasons, such as blocked fallopian tubes, male infertility, or unexplained infertility. It involves steps such as ovarian stimulation, egg retrieval, fertilisation, and embryo transfer.
IVF (In Vitro Fertilisation) is often recommended when a couple has been trying to conceive naturally for quite some time without success. While some fertility issues can be addressed with medications or less invasive procedures like IUI (Intrauterine Insemination), IVF tends to be the preferred choice when natural chances are slim or other treatments haven't worked out.
If you’re wondering, "When should I consider IVF?" it really depends on personal factors such as your age, medical history, fertility test results, and how long you’ve been trying to conceive. Remember, every situation is unique, and your healthcare provider is the best person to guide you through this process.
