What is IVF (In Vitro Fertilization)?
IVF is a process in which a woman’s eggs are removed and fertilized with a man’s sperm in a laboratory. Afterwards, the fertilized eggs are implanted into the female uterus to achieve pregnancy. Modern-day couples are struggling a lot with infertility issues. Wanting to become parents and failing multiple times does not just hurt emotionally but financially as well. Thankfully, modern-day medical science has a solution to such infertility problems called IVF or in vitro fertilisation. It’s one of the more widely known types of assisted reproductive technology (ART) which is done at IVF Centreand works by using a combination of medicines and surgical procedures. In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) is a complicated process that helps couples overcome infertility issues and become parents. Mature eggs are removed from the ovaries during the procedure in the IVF Centre, and the partner’s sperm is then added to the eggs in a lab outside of the uterus. The resultant embryo is then placed into the uterus. Extra embryos might be saved for later use if there are any.
Main Causes of Infertility
Ovulation issues are a common cause of infertility. Certain issues prevent the release of an egg entirely, while others only restrict the release of an egg during a particular cycle. Common causes of infertility are:
- Ovulation disorders
- Problems in the uterus
- Blocked or damaged Fallopian tube
- Endometriosis
- Primary ovarian insufficiency
- Pelvic adhesions
- Abnormal sperm function
- testicl*s
- Certain Cancers and their treatments
IVF Procedure At Victoria IVF Centre Nairobi, Kenya
- Ovulation
There are different stages in the IVF procedure and fertility medications are given to you in the first stage to increase your egg production. Several eggs are needed for the process since not all of the eggs that are removed from your ovaries will develop or get fertilised. Your hormone levels are tracked with blood tests, and your ovaries are examined with a transvagin*l ultrasound. - Collection of Eggs
Another name for the process is “follicular aspiration.” During this brief procedure, your doctor will use ultrasound imaging to insert a thin needle into your vagin* to remove your eggs from the follicles. You might be given medicine before the treatment to help you feel comfortable. You can have some cramping after the surgery, but they normally go away in a day or two. - Retrieving the Sperm
A sample of sperm is produced by the male partner and is ready to fuse with the eggs. - Insemination
In this procedure, the eggs and sperm are collected and then combined in an “in vitro” lab dish in the IVF Centre for in vitro fertilisation. Regular monitoring is done on the eggs to make sure that fertilisation or cell division is occurring. - Embryo Implantation
Typically, embryo transfer takes place a few days in the IVF Centre following egg retrieval. During the transfer, the doctor will implant a catheter which is a tube that goes through your vagin* and into your uterus. A syringe with one or more embryos suspended in a small amount of fluid is attached to the end of the catheter. As part of the IVF procedure, the doctor inserts one or more embryos into your uterus using a syringe.
After IVF Procedure
While most women can return to their regular activities the next day, some might be recommended to rest for the whole day at the IVF Centre following the embryo transfer. Women undergoing IVF therapy may need to take progesterone injections or pills daily for 7 to 9 weeks following the embryo transfer. This hormone promotes the growth of the embryo after implant and helps the uterine lining become ready for the embryo to attach. To prevent miscarriage, progesterone is usually given for 8 to 12 weeks following pregnancy. A pregnancy test will be performed at our fertility clinic in Nairobito determine whether there is a pregnancy 12 to 14 days following the embryo transfer.
