The lifestyle today doesn’t allow us time to even breathe properly. We are always on a run. This causes stress which has now started affecting fertility in young men and women. Though the issues of fertility are surfacing, so are new techniques of inducing fertility. One such very well renowned technique is In Vitro Fertilization also known as IVF.
There may be many causes of infertility like low sperm quantity or low quality of sperm in male, inability to conceive in female, problems with ovulation, problems with fallopian tube, or simply to avoid genetically inherited disorders. As the causes, there are also many techniques of fertilization. From getting a sperm donor, to fertility drugs, artificial insemination and IVF, new techniques are coming up making it easier for couples to choose.
Though IVF is time consuming and costly, it has a success rate of 45% amongst women under the age of 35 years. This makes it a preferred choice for many couples. In this technique the eggs from the woman are extracted and fertilized with the sperms from male in a lab under certain conditions. Once the eggs are fertilized, the embryo is implanted in the uterus of the woman and rests are stored.
So how do you know if IVF is the right choice for you!
Below are some points which may help you decide:
– For starters, when you are facing issues conceiving, you must visit a fertility specialist.
