Many women, for the first time faced with the concept of "IVF", do not know what it is and when it is used in gynecology. This method refers to assisted reproductive technology, which is often used to combat infertility.
What is the procedure?
The essence of the method of IVF is that the process of fertilization of a female egg occurs outside its body. As a rule, this happens in the laboratory.
For its implementation, a woman is taken a mature follicle, and a man sperm, which makes the fertilization of the egg . The process of IVF takes 5-7 minutes, which means that a woman can leave the clinic on the same day. However, the process of transplantation is preceded by a number of stages: examinations, puncture of the ovaries, fertilization and transplantation.
At the first stage, a woman is subjected to numerous examinations, ranging from simple blood tests to the study of reproductive organs by ultrasound.
If as a result of the examination, doctors conclude that a woman can become pregnant, then puncture the ovaries. In the course of this procedure, a woman takes a fence of mature eggs, under the supervision of ultrasound through the vagina.
After mature ovules are withdrawn, they are placed in a nutrient medium. After a certain period of time, they are fertilized, using the sperm collected from the man.
Efficiency
Pregnancy ends with only about a third of IVF procedures , which means that not always the procedure is successful. You can spend it repeatedly, which many women do, despite its high cost.
That is why, they often have a question: "And who does IVF for free?". Count on this can only those women who have direct evidence and who after the annual treatment did not become pregnant.
