Who
doesn't want to be parents after getting married? Unfortunately, some
couples are not lucky like others because they are unable to
conceive. Today, infertility is common in men and women. Some
fertility issues are more simply treated than others. Generally, as a
female ages, particularly after age 35, her possibilities of getting
conceive go down. But the chances of miscarriage goes up. No need to
worry, when IVF treatment is available to sort out your infertility
issues.
Nowadays,
In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is a common household term. But
previously, it was a mysterious method for getting pregnant that
produced “test-tube babies.” Louise Brown,
born in England in 1978, was the first such baby to be conceived
outside her mother's womb. It is
such a complex procedure, but actually successful and new hope for
various infertile couples.
Unlike
the simpler procedure of artificial insemination in which sperm is
arranged in the uterus. IVF treatment includes combining sperm and
eggs outside the body in a lab. Once an embryo form, then they are
arranged into the uterus. The treatment is a complicated and costly
method; only about 5 percent of couples with infertility look for
this treatment. U.S. is the first country where it has introduced in
1981. The treatment and other similar procedures have resulted in
over 2,00,000 babies.
What Significant Reasons of Infertility Can IVF Treat?
When
we talk about infertility, In Vitro Fertilization may be an
alternative if woman or man has been diagnosed with:
- Endometriosis
- Fallopian tubes or issues with the uterus
- Low sperm counts
- Difficulties in ovulation
- Inability of sperm to survive or penetrate in the cervical mucus
- Antibody issues that hurt eggs or sperms
- Unexplained fertility issue
It
is never the basic step in the infertility treatment. Instead, it is
booked for cases in which some other producers such as surgery,
fertility drugs, and artificial insemination have not worked.
The treatment
is actually helpful you conceive if you have blocked fallopian tubes
or ovulation problems. In case, your male partner has a low sperm
count, or if other treatment methods have been given disappoint.
Length of treatment:
The
treatment takes maximum 4 to 6 weeks to complete a cycle of IVF. A
couple has to wait for some few weeks for the eggs to mature. Then a
couple will spend half a day at physician's clinic or hospital having
the eggs fertilized and retrieved. A couple will need to go back once
again 2-5 days later to have them placed into the womb, but a couple
will be able to go back house that same day.
