FAQ

What is In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) and how does it work?

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is a medical procedure that assists in the conception of a child by fertilizing eggs with sperm outside of the body in a laboratory setting. The process involves stimulating the ovaries to produce multiple eggs, retrieving these eggs, and then combining them with sperm. Once the eggs are fertilized and develop into embryos, one or more are transferred into the uterus. IVF can be used by individuals and couples facing fertility challenges, and is also a valuable option for members of the LGBTQIA+ community looking to build families through assisted reproductive technology.

What factors affect the success rate of IVF?

The success rate of IVF can be influenced by several factors including age, the quality of eggs and sperm, the health of the uterus, and lifestyle factors such as smoking and weight. Additionally, the cause of infertility and the quality of the IVF laboratory can play significant roles. It is important to have an open conversation with your healthcare provider to understand how these factors might influence your individual chances of success through IVF.

What is the difference between conventional IVF and ICSI?

Conventional IVF involves combining multiple sperm and eggs in a dish and allowing fertilization to occur naturally. In contrast, Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is a technique where a single sperm is injected directly into an egg. ICSI is often used when there are concerns about sperm quality or quantity, or if previous attempts at conventional IVF have not resulted in fertilization. Both methods are designed to assist with fertilization and can be used according to the specific needs and circumstances of the individuals involved.

What should I consider when deciding whether to pursue IVF?

When considering IVF, it’s important to weigh various aspects including your physical and emotional health, financial considerations, and the potential impact on your life and relationships. It’s also crucial to understand the success rates and potential risks involved. Speaking with a healthcare provider, considering counseling or support groups, and researching reliable sources can be invaluable. Keep in mind that IVF is just one of many fertility treatment options, and it’s important to explore what’s best for your unique family-building journey, regardless of your family structure or identity.
