In-vitro fertilisation also known as IVF, is a common infertility treatment that involve using fertility medicine to stimulate development of multiple eggs. Eggs are then been transfer and fertilised with sperm in a laboratory dish. If the fertilisation is successful, embryo will be formed and grow for 3 to 5 days and then to be transfer to mother’s womb.
When to consider IVF?
Since IVF is a infertility treatment, it’s best suit when you and your partner has specific conditions:-
- Problem with fallopian tube (damage or blockage)
- Ovulation disorder like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
- Low sperm count
- Endometriosis
- Sterilisation has been done before
- Uterine fibroids
- Genetics disorder
- Unexplained infertility
However, women who do not have functional uterus or incapable of implanting and carrying a pregnancy, IVF cannot solve that problem.
