In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a process in which an egg and sperm are combined in a laboratory dish, and the resulting embryo is transferred to the uterus. IVF can be used to treat infertility when other methods of fertility treatments have failed.
IVF is a treatment for infertility when all other options have failed. It is also called a “test-tube baby” because it involves fertilizing an egg with sperm outside the body.
What are the Steps in an IVF Procedure?
IVF is a medical procedure where an egg is fertilized by sperm outside of the body. This process is followed by transferring the embryo to the woman’s uterus. The IVF procedure has three steps:
Step 1: Stimulation of ovaries
Step 2: Egg retrieval
Step 3: Embryo transfer
How Does It Feel to Carry a Baby after Successful IVF?
The feeling of carrying a baby after a successful IVF is indescribable. It is not just the joy of being pregnant, but also the feeling of accomplishment. IVF pregnancy symptoms are different from a natural pregnancy. The most common post ivef side effects are bloating, weight gain, and fatigue.
According to a study published in “The Journal of Human Reproduction”, IVF/ICSI pregnancy complications have been associated with an increased risk for low-birth-weight babies and neonatal mortality. In addition to these risks, there is an association between the use of assisted reproductive technology and congenital malformations.
