IVF the concept

One of the saddest things for a couple is the
inability to conceive. Thanks to advances in
medical technology, an infertile couple can now
hope to conceive. IVF or In-Vitro fertilization
is a boon that can help infertile couples to
conceive. They can avail of IVF treatment at
the best IVF center in Gurgaon. IVF is an ideal
procedure for those suffering from low sperm
count, uterus problems, endometriosis, and other
such major problems that lead to infertility. IVF
is a procedure where the ovum and the sperm are
removed from the body and fertilized in the lab.
How it is done? When you visit the best IVF
center for treatment, many tests would be carried
out. These include ovarian reserve testing,
uterine examination, semen analysis, and a mock
embryo transfer would also be done. All these
help the doctor to determine if IVF is suitable
or not. Once the viability of the process is
determined, the procedure would then be started.
The procedure at any of the IVF center in
Gurgaon would involve the following steps

1)     Ovulation induction This stage involves
stimulating the ovaries with hormones to create
multiple eggs. This is different from the normal
ovulation where a single egg is produced.
Multiple eggs are needed as there are
probabilities of failure. Depending on the type
of problems faced, different types of hormones
may be administered. Regular monitoring at this
stage is very important to ensure ovulation
happens and the eggs needed for IVF are
produced.2)     Egg retrieval At the best IVF
center in Gurgaon, this is the key stage.
Aspiration using ultrasound is used to retrieve
eggs. The woman undergoing treatment would need
to get admitted to the clinic before ovulation.
It takes less than half an hour to remove eggs
from the follicles. Once the eggs are removed,
they are then placed in a culture medium and the
process of incubation is carried out. The eggs
are tested and only the healthy ones are used for
fertilization. 3)     Sperm retrieval Once the
egg is retrieved, the next step is to retrieve
the sperm. This is done by the partner at the
clinic. If the partners sperm is not suitable,
then a donor may be used to get a viable sperm.
In some cases, the sperm can be directly obtained
from the testicle through fine needle
aspiration. 4)     Fertilization This is the
stage where the sperm and eggs are mixed in the
lab to obtain the embryo. Depending on the type
of problem the couple face, different procedures
may need to be carried out for this. Genetic
testing is done to ensure that there are no
genetic diseases.5)     Embryo transfer This is
the final step in the procedure. The doctors at
the IVF clinic in Gurgaon would insert a catheter
and inject the embryo into the uterus. Usually,
embryo transfer happens around 5- 10 days after
egg retrieval. The embryo is finally implanted in
the uterus.

Procedure results The results depend on many
factors including the type of problems faced and
the age of the couple. Studies have shown that
29.4 of all IVF procedures led to pregnancy.
22.4 of procedures led to successful births. The
low rates are mainly because IVF is used as a
last resort, when all other attempts fail. Age is
a key factor with women less than 35 years age
being able to conceive around 40 of the time.
Women over 40 have a very less chance of
conceiving at around 11. There are various
procedures for assisted reproduction. Of these,
IVF is the most effective and popular
procedure.Contact InfoBlock G, Greenwood
