Starting from the second day, regular injections are given for follicle growth. Ultrasound scans help in monitoring the growth and also in evaluating the uterine lining. The combination of medications and injections provide stimulation to the ovary. Blood tests are also performed to examine the level of hormones.
What is In Vitro Fertilization ?
Do you remember Louise Brown, born in England, in 1978? Yes, she was the first test tube baby. She was conceived outside her mother's womb. During those days it was considered something mysterious, but now, IVF is a household name. In vitro means outside the body. IVF is a form of Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART). It is a treatment for infertility as a result of which you can conceive a child even after other medical interventions have failed.
When to consider IVF
IVF is an option for women above 40, because both egg quantity and quality decline with aging.
If you or your partner is suffering from the following ailments, you must go for IVF treatment:
- Damage or blockage of fallopian tube
- Ovulation disorders - Patients with disorders like PCOS, hypothalamic amenorrhoea or ovarian failure may require IVF.
- Endometriosis - It affects the functioning of ovaries, uterus, and fallopian tubes.
- Uterine fibroids - Benign tumours in the uterus, called fibroids can interfere with the implantation of fertilized eggs.
- Multiple miscarriages - In such cases,IVF treatment is a hope.
- Unsuccessful fertility treatments - When non-invasive treatments like fertility medicines and IUI have failed, IVF can be chosen.
- Previous tubal sterilization, or tubal ligation.
- Impaired sperm production, abnormal size, shape, or function.
- Fertility Preservation for Cancer or other health conditions.

Workflow
The IVF procedure involves the following steps:
When the follicles attain an optimum size of 18-20 mm, an injection called trigger is administered for the maturation of the egg.
Egg retrieval is carried out 34-36 hours after the administration of the trigger. Multiple eggs can be retrieved in just 20 minutes
On the day of egg retrieval, the partner's sperm is collected from their semen sample, in the lab
The semen sample and the eggs are mixed together in a petri dish.
The retrieved eggs can be fertilized with the sperm either by overnight incubation or injection of the healthy sperm directly into the egg.
Depending on the quality, the embryo is cultivated for up to five days in the laboratory.
Embryo is transferred into the uterus 2-5 days after the egg retrieval. On the fifth day, the embryo is a blastocyst and when blastocyst is transferred, pregnancy chances are improved.
A blood test is performed for pregnancy two weeks after the date of embryo transfer.

An IVF treatment begins on the first day of your menstrual cycle.
Overall, for women starting IVF, 33% have a baby as a result of their first cycle increasing to 54-77% by the 8th cycle.
Multiple births may occur, causing early labor and low birth weight. Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome ( swollen and painful ovaries) is another potential risk. In 2-3% cases, ectopic pregnancy occurs, which is the implantation of the embryo, outside the uterus, usually in the fallopian tube. Stress and emotional problems may result if IVF is unsuccessful.
