Infertility Treatment (IVF Test Tube Baby)
IVF is an acronym for in vitro fertilization ('in vitro' meaning 'in glass'). Simply put IVF is adding a man's sperm to his female partners eggs in the laboratory to produce embryos. In vitro fertilization is an option for many couples who cannot conceive through conventional therapies. These embryos are put back into the female partner's uterus (womb) after 3 to 5 days of being in the incubator, hopefully they will then grow into a baby. The reasons IVF is done include - poor sperm quality and/or quantity, obstructions between the egg and sperm, ovulation problems, and sperm-egg interaction problems. These problems can prevent couples having a baby naturally, and IVF helps to solve this.
Specific conditions that might require IVF include:
- Tubal blockage or failed tubal reversal
- Endometriosis
- Cervical factor
- Pelvic adhesions
- Male factor
- Unexplained infertility/ failed conventional therapy
- Genetic testing (PGD) for inheritable diseases
- Genetic testing (PGD) for possible reasons for multiple miscarriages
The first IVF baby was Louise Brown, born at 11:47 p.m. on July 25, 1978 at Oldham General Hospital, Oldham, England through a planned caesarean section. She weighed 5 pounds, 12 ounces (2.608 kg) at birth. Dr. Patrick Steptoe, a gynecologist at Oldham General Hospital, and Dr. Robert Edwards, a physiologist at Cambridge University, had been actively working on finding an alternative solution for conception since 1966
In Vitro fertilization can be divided into 5 basic steps:
1. Stimulation of the eggs with drugs: Fertility medications are used to stimulate ovarian production and there is an attempt to obtain multiple eggs to increase the patient's chance of getting pregnant by fertilizing numerous eggs for embryo development. At this stage, the eggs developing in the ovaries are monitored with ultrasound and hormone testing and retrieved before they are released.
2. Retrieval of the eggs: The eggs are retrieved by inserting a special aspiration needle guided by ultrasound into the vagina. The patient is given light anesthesia. Once retrieved the eggs are placed in special receptacles in a laboratory environment. Special methods are used to fertilize the eggs with sperm taken that same day from the woman's husband.
3. Fertilization of the eggs and embryo development: The eggs are fertilized in the laboratory with sperm using the microinjection method. Then the embryo is allowed to develop for a period of time, after which the highest grade embryos are chosen for placement in the mother's womb.
4. Transfer of the embryo to the mother's womb: The chosen embryos are transferred to the mother's womb with a special catheter, after which one must wait and see if they attach to the womb and pregnancy develops.
5. Luteal follow-up: In order to assist pregnancy development, the patient will be given medications containing progesterone after the embryo transfer. Ultrasound and hormone tests will be administered once a week. Whether or not pregnancy has occurred will be determined by testing for the bHCG hormone in the blood on the 12th day after the embryo transfer.
