IVF: SAY GOOD-BYE TO INFERTILITY

IVF Treatment

IVF or In Vitro Fertilization is a time-tested, highly safe and hassle-free medical procedure which  has proved to be a boon for childless couples who have problems having a child due to conception related issues.
What exactly does IVF procedure entail?
The IVF process is carried out in three phases: 

Pre-IVF Preparation

a) Pre-IVF Preparation - Physical and Emotional: During this phase, we make sure that the couple, especially the mother-to-be is emotionally and physically fit for the IVF process. The procedure is explained in detail to the couple and all their queries are answered so as to provide maximum knowledge and satisfaction to the couple related to IVF procedure. Following this, tests are carried out to rule out any medical or physical problems that might hinder the IVF process. Once the tests are all positive, we will go ahead with the actual IVF procedure
 

Actual IVF Procedure

b)The Actual IVF Procedure: IVF is a simple and pain-free reproductive method. The standard IVF process involves inducing follicle development and oocyte maturity through injections and medications. In about two weeks, the follicle is ready and we go ahead with the egg collection process. This process is done under Anaesthesia and hence is absolutely painless. After recovering the eggs, the patient is free to leave after spending 3-4 hours in the recovery room. The retrieved eggs are fertilized in the lab in a fluid medium. In case the sperms do not have strong motility, the sperms are injected individually into the eggs so as to fertilize them ( known as ICSI process). After approx 48 hours, these fertilized eggs are implanted into the uterus of the patient for normal growth.

Care

c) Follow-up and After-care:  At all times throughout the procedure, the health of the fetus is kept in check using ultrasounds and other check-up techniques, normally till the detection of foetal heart beat. Our prime concern is to make sure that the whole experience is hassle-free and not emotionally taxing on the patient. Hence, medical support and follow-up and counselling at all stages is provided to ensure patient’s smooth sailing through the IVF process.
In rare cases if the conception does not happen, the reasons are looked into and the procedure is repeated to ensure success.

Risk

Risks: The IVF procedure is considered fairly safe since normally no side-effects are involved. In rare cases, minor issues ,including but not limited to ovarian swelling may occur in case the ovaries are over-stimulated while readying them for the IVF procedure. This can lead to minor side effects like nausea or decreased appetite but these effects are temporary and easily taken care of in the after-care phase. Other after-effects may include slight vaginal bleeding for a few days after the procedure is done with but that is totally normal.

Finances

Finances: IVF is a fairly costly treatment compared to other infertility treatments but definitely worth the investment. The couple should seek estimated expense information from the doctor and plan the finances accordingly for smooth delivery of the procedure.
