IVF Treatment
In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) literally means that fertilisation of the egg by the sperm takes place in an incubator outside the body.
The female IVF treatment cycle generally follows these stages:
• IVF Treatment Information and discussion
• Pre treatment tests and preparation
• Preparation of ovaries and uterus by intranasal spray
• Follicle growth treatment (stimulation by injection)
• Ovulation timing (based on blood tests and ultrasound scans)
• Egg collection using ultrasound scan
• Insemination treatment of eggs with sperm
• Assessment of fertilisation
• Embryo transfer to the uterus
• Pregnancy test (blood test)
• Ultrasound if pregnant
IVF Treatment
In vitro fertilisation (IVF), which literally means "fertilisation in glass", is a treatment for infertility that has failed to respond to other medical and surgical interventions. The world's first IVF baby, Louise Brown, was born in 1978 in England. Since then, approximately 1,000,000 babies have
been born as a result of IVF.
