What is IVF (In Vitro Fertilization)?

IVF is the most common form of Assisted Reproductive Techniques (ART), and is the treatment of choice for a woman with blocked, severely damaged fallopian tube. The entire process of fertilization takes place outside a woman’s body. During the IVF process, women’s eggs are removed from the ovaries & fertilized with husband’s sperms in the laboratory. The fertilized egg (embryo) is later placed in the woman’s womb.

When is IVF needed?

IVF was originally developed for women with blocked tubes and it is still the procedure of choice for this situations. It is also used when other conditions are present, including endometriosis, male factor infertility and unexplained infertility in which no medical cause for infertility can be found. Our physicians will review your history and help to guide you to diagnostic procedures and the treatment that are most appropriate for you.

How much time does treatment require for IVF?

Most treatment cycles will require about 8-10 visits to the clinic for blood work and ultrasound starting on day 2 of your cycle. This may be every day, every other day or as requested by your physician.

The pregnancy test is done 14 days following your embryo transfer or insemination. Some patients may choose to take this time off from work, especially if they’ve had an embryo transfer.

We recommend minimizing stress and keeping a positive outlook during this time.

What to do when the treatment fails?

If the pregnancy test is still negative 15 to 17 days post-transfer, however, your doctor will ask you to stop taking the progesterone, and you’ll wait for your period to start. The next step will be decided among you, your partner and your doctor. Having a treatment cycle fail is never easy. It’s heartbreaking. It’s important; however, to keep in mind that having one cycle fail doesn’t mean you won’t be successful if you try again. You will have to discuss with your doctor what will be the best option.
