    What is IVF treatment? 

    • IVF is the abbreviation for In Vitro fertilization. 

    • The treatment is one of the well-known Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART). 

    • IVF is a blend of surgical procedures and medicines that assist sperm in fertilizing an egg. 

    • In an IVF treatment, the collection of mature eggs from ovaries starts. Fertilization of these eggs with sperm in a lab is the next step. 

    • The relocation of fertilized eggs to the uterus is the next step. 

    • It takes about three weeks for a complete cycle of IVF. 

    Who needs an IVF?

    Couples experiencing the following complications opt for an IVF treatment.

    • Male factor infertility, to a severe extent, needs an IVF. Such factors include low sperm motility, low sperm count, necessity to extract sperm surgically from testicles. 

    • Blocked or absent fallopian tubes.

    • Couples whose conception rate is critical and pregnancy rates are low. These cases fall under the advanced reproductive age. 

    • To avoid inherited genetic disease passing to the children, IVF is a superior choice. With the assistance of pre-implantation genetic diagnosis, the embryos are diagnosed for diseases. These embryos, without the disorder, are ready to set into the uterus.
