When IVF helps
In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is a complex series of procedures used to help couples with fertility, prevention of genetic problems and assistance with the conception of a child. Insemination and IVF techniques can be directed in a variety of situations. Dr. Caroline Osman will explain to you the technique and the protocols of In-Vitro fertilization.
How the process works
It is a process by which an egg is fertilized by sperm outside the body. The process involves monitoring and stimulating a woman's ovulatory process, removing eggs from the woman's ovaries, and letting sperm fertilize them in a fluid medium in a laboratory. The fertilized egg (zygote) is cultured for 2–6 days in a growth medium and is then implanted in the woman's uterus, with the intention of establishing a successful pregnancy.
