IVF, or in vitro fertilization, is a fertility treatment in which eggs are collected from the ovaries and fertilized with sperm in a laboratory. The resulting embryo may then be transferred into the uterus.
IVF may be used for a variety of fertility challenges and may also be considered when other fertility treatments have not been successful.
The recommended approach depends on factors such as age, fertility history, ovarian reserve, sperm quality, medical history, and previous treatment.
IVF may be considered for individuals or couples experiencing different fertility challenges, including:
IVF may also be used when donor eggs, donor sperm, or previously frozen embryos are part of the treatment plan.
A fertility specialist can determine whether IVF is appropriate based on an individual medical evaluation.
The exact IVF protocol varies between patients, but treatment commonly involves several stages.
Fertility preservation may allow eggs to be collected and frozen for potential future use.
Egg freezing may be considered for different personal or medical reasons, including certain medical treatments that may affect fertility.
A fertility specialist can discuss whether fertility preservation is appropriate based on your individual circumstances.
In certain situations, embryos may undergo genetic testing before transfer.
Preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) may be considered in specific circumstances to assess embryos for certain genetic or chromosomal conditions.
Whether genetic testing is appropriate depends on the patient’s medical history, reproductive goals, and specialist evaluation.
Traveling abroad for fertility treatment involves both medical and practical planning.
