For couples who want to become parents, the inability to conceive can be devastating. One option for couples having trouble getting pregnant is in vitro fertilization (IVF). In vitro fertilization is the process of combining the woman’s eggs with the man’s sperm outside of the body and then placing them back into the woman’s uterus for pregnancy.
There are many reasons that a couple may face infertility, including low sperm count, endometriosis, blocked fallopian tubes and advanced maternal age. In vitro fertilization makes it possible to overcome fertility obstacles and become parents.
There are several steps to successful in vitro fertilization. They are:
Once the embryo or embryos are in place, your doctor will do blood tests to be sure that the pregnancy is in progress. Later, you will have ultrasounds to check on the progress of the pregnancy. With successful in vitro fertilization, you will have a baby in about nine months!
