Invitro fertilisation also known as IVF is a procedure whereby the egg is removed from the ovaries and fertilized by a sperm in a dish under lab conditions. After fertilisation, an embryo is formed which is then re-implanted into the uterus.
IVF can be used to treat:
- Women with blocked/damaged fallopian tubes
- Male infertility
- Women with ovulation disorders
- Women with their fallopian tubes removed
- Unexplained infertility
The Process:
- Administer fertility medication daily to increase production of more mature eggs
- A minor surgery is done to retrieve the eggs
- Sample of sperm taken from the male
- Insemination takes place where the sperm and eggs are mixed together in a dish for fertilisation
- Embryos (fertilized eggs) are formed
- After 3-5 days, the embryos are re-implanted into the female’s uterus
Side effects:
- Mild cramping
- Mild bloatness
- Constipation
- Breast tenderness
