What is IVF?

• In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a process by
  which an egg is fertilized by sperm outside the
  body.
• IVF is a major treatment for infertility when
  other methods of assisted reproductive
  technology have failed.
• The process involves monitoring a woman's
  ovulatory process, removing ovum or ova (egg or
  eggs) from the woman's ovaries and
  letting sperm fertilize them in a fluid medium in
  a laboratory.
• When a woman's natural cycle is monitored to
  collect a naturally selected ovum (egg) for
  fertilization, it is known as natural cycle IVF.

Why IVF?

• IVF is used to overcome female infertility in the
  woman due to problems of the fallopian tube,
  making fertilization in vivo difficult.
• It may also assist in male infertility, where
  there is a defect in sperm quality, and in such
  cases intra cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI)
  may be used, where a sperm cell is injected
  directly into the egg cell. This is used when
  sperm have difficulty penetrating the egg, and in
  these cases the partner's or a donor's sperm may
  be used. ICSI is also used when sperm numbers are
  very low.

METHOD

• Ovarian hyper stimulation
• Natural and mild IVF
• Final maturation and egg retrieval
• Egg and sperm preparation
• Fertilization
• Embryo culture
• Embryo selection
• Embryo transfer

Risks in IVF

• There may be a failure to recover an egg
  because- follicles that contain mature eggs may
  not develop in the treatment cycle
• - ovulation has occurred before time of egg
  recovery- one or more eggs cannot be recovered-
  pre-existing pelvic scarring and/or technical
  difficulties prevent safe egg recovery
• The eggs that are recovered may not be normal
