What is IVF? It is the process whereby a man's sperm and a woman's egg are brought together and fertilized outside of the body. The process use to take in lab under doctors observation. The treatment can be performed in several steps over an interval of 4-6 weeks. It is an easy to understand and describe the process where as it is not easy to succeed with.

Lots of steps involved to start with IVF treatment. The process starts with regulating your cycle by taking birth pills on regular basis. The next step is taking fertility drugs which help to stimulate ovary egg production. In next step doctor would remove eggs out of your ovary and combine them with your partner sperm at the same time will enhance the combination with nutrients to improve the chance of fertilization. Once an embryo or embryos form, they are then placed in the uterus. If all goes well, one egg will attach to the lining of the womb and start growing. At this stage it is same as getting pregnant. There is lot of chances of conceiving more than one baby. However, they would not be twins as they are from different eggs.




While going through IVF, there may be two options. Either you can fertilize a donated egg or sperm to try to conceive a baby. The main difference here is that you would be using another woman's eggs to be fertilized with your partner's sperm vice-versa. Again, the fertilized eggs would be implanted into your womb, and you would hopefully get pregnant with a boy or girl, but the baby would not be your biological child. Or you can receive donor eggs from a family member such as a sister who shares similar DNA. In this way, you will at least have some biological connection. It's fairly your choice.

It is not hundred percent result oriented or guaranteed as it involves many things but you can have always look for a Hope. IVF treatment is milestone in history of modern science as well as in human kind. Now childless couples can dream about having their own child and to have a complete family.
