Stages involved in the IVF Treatment at Jehangir Hospital:
IVF is a complex process that helps couples with infertility conceive. It involves several steps, including:
1. Initial Consultation: The first step is to meet with a fertility specialist to discuss your medical history, undergo a physical exam, and have blood tests and other diagnostic tests performed. After evaluation and with shared decision-making between the couple and the doctor, IVF will be suggested for indicated cases. Before starting doctors discuss what are the positive points for success and what negative factors we shall work on before embarking IVF to improve success.
2. Ovarian Stimulation: The next step is to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs. This is done by taking fertility medications as per the requirement.
3. Egg Retrieval: Once the eggs are mature, they are retrieved from the ovaries using a procedure called ovum pick up (Transvaginal Ultrasound-guided)
4. Fertilisation: The retrieved eggs are then fertilised in a laboratory with sperm from the male partner. The process is called Intra cytoplasmic sperm injection.
5. Embryo Culture: The fertilised eggs, called embryos, are then cultured in a laboratory for 3 or 5 days.
6. Embryo Transfer: One or more embryos are then transferred into the woman's uterus using a procedure called embryo transfer. The decision of fresh or frozen embryo transfer is individual based.
7. Pregnancy Test: After the embryo transfer, the woman will take a pregnancy test about two weeks later.
8. Continued Care: If the pregnancy test is positive, the woman will continue to see her doctor for prenatal care.
