IVF (In Vitro Fertilization): Process, Success Rates, and Important Details

IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) is one of the most common assisted reproductive techniques used to help couples who struggle with infertility. This advanced medical procedure allows fertilization to take place outside the body in a laboratory, followed by embryo transfer into the uterus.

IVF mimics the natural fertilization process and has given hope to many couples worldwide.

Who Can Benefit from IVF Treatment?
✔ Couples with unexplained infertility
✔ Women with ovulation disorders (such as PCOS – Polycystic Ovary Syndrome)
✔ Women with blocked fallopian tubes
✔ Men with low sperm quality
✔ Patients with endometriosis
✔ Couples with genetic disorders
✔ Women seeking pregnancy at an advanced age

IVF treatment provides a high chance of conception for many of these conditions.

How is IVF Treatment Performed?
IVF consists of 5 main stages:

1️⃣ Ovarian Stimulation and Monitoring
Hormone treatment stimulates the ovaries to produce multiple eggs.

2️⃣ Egg Retrieval (OPU – Oocyte Pick-Up)
Mature eggs are collected under mild anesthesia. Sperm is also collected from the male partner on the same day for fertilization.

3️⃣ Fertilization and Embryo Development
Eggs and sperm are combined in a laboratory to create embryos. These embryos are monitored for several days.

4️⃣ Embryo Transfer
The best-quality embryos are selected and transferred into the woman’s uterus without the need for anesthesia.

5️⃣ Pregnancy Test and Follow-Up
After approximately 12 days, a blood test confirms whether pregnancy has been achieved.

Success Rates of IVF
IVF success rates depend on several factors:

📌 Maternal age (Success rates decline with age.)
📌 Quality of eggs and sperm
📌 Uterine lining health (endometrial thickness)
📌 Embryo quality
📌 Overall health of the couple

📊 Success rates can reach 50-60% for younger patients, while for women over 40, the success rate drops to around 20-30%.

Key Factors to Consider During IVF Treatment
✔ Maintain a healthy and balanced diet
✔ Avoid smoking and alcohol
✔ Manage stress effectively
✔ Follow the doctor’s recommendations carefully
✔ Engage in moderate physical activity

Following these guidelines can significantly improve the chances of success.
