IVF (in vitro fertilization) - artificial insemination

What is IVF (in vitro fertilization)?

IVF (in vitro fertilization) is a modern method of assisted reproductive technology that helps couples with infertility problems conceive a child. In the IVF process, an egg is fertilized by a sperm outside the woman’s body, in the laboratory, and then the embryo is transferred to the uterus for further pregnancy development.

Artificial insemination: is this procedure right for you?

Artificial insemination, or IVF (in vitro fertilization), is a modern method of solving the problem of infertility that helps couples achieve pregnancy even in difficult cases. But is this procedure right for you? Let’s take a look at the main indications, contraindications, and factors that help determine the feasibility of IVF.

Indications for IVF

IVF is recommended in such cases:

  • Problems with the fallopian tubes: obstruction or lack thereof in a woman. This is one of the most common reasons for IVF.
  • Endometriosis: a disease that complicates the process of natural fertilization.
  • Ovulatory disorders: absence of ovulation or its irregularity.
  • Male factor of infertility: low sperm motility, insufficient sperm count or morphological abnormalities.
  • Infertility of unclear etiology: when the cause of pregnancy cannot be established.
  • Genetic (hereditary) diseases: if there is a risk of transmitting hereditary diseases, IVF with genetic testing of embryos helps to avoid this risk.
  • Age-related problems: women over 35 often face a decrease in ovarian reserve, which makes IVF an effective solution.
  • Unsuccessful attempts to treat infertility with other methods, such as intrauterine insemination.

Contraindications to the procedure

Unfortunately, IVF is not suitable for everyone. There are contraindications that must be taken into account:

  1. Oncological diseases: malignant tumors of any localization. However, before starting treatment with methods such as chemotherapy or radiation, it is possible to preserve oocytes or sperm. This issue should be discussed with an oncologist if you have reproductive plans.
  2. Serious mental disorders that impede the ability to care for a child.
  3. Severe chronic diseases that make it impossible to carry a pregnancy (for example, heart failure).
  4. Anatomical deformities of the uterus: pathologies that interfere with embryo implantation.
  5. Infectious diseases: acute infections require treatment before starting an IVF program.

Before the procedure, each patient undergoes a comprehensive examination that helps to exclude contraindications and determine the most effective treatment protocol.

Who is suitable for artificial insemination?

Artificial insemination can be an effective solution for:

  • Couples who have been unable to conceive naturally for a long time. According to medical recommendations, infertility is diagnosed if pregnancy does not occur after 12 months of regular sexual activity without contraception.
  • Women planning motherhood after the age of 35. With age, the number and quality of eggs decreases, so IVF becomes a more appropriate method.
  • People with genetic (hereditary) risks. Thanks to modern genetic testing technologies, the transmission of hereditary diseases can be avoided.
  • Couples who are unable to use their own eggs and use donor eggs, sperm, or embryos.
  • Those who want to preserve fertility for the future. Freezing eggs or embryos allows you to postpone pregnancy until a more favorable time.

How IVF works: the main stages of the procedure

The in vitro fertilization (IVF) procedure involves several key stages, each of which plays an important role in achieving a successful outcome. Below is a detailed description of each stage:

Preparation for the procedure

Preparation for IVF begins with a comprehensive examination of the couple. A woman needs to undergo pelvic ultrasound, hormonal screening, and blood tests to assess the state of her ovarian reserve. A man is usually prescribed a spermogram to analyze the quality of his sperm.

A reproductive specialist at this stage:

  • Collects anamnesis of the couple.
  • Prescribes additional tests (for example, checking for infections or genetic pathologies).
  • Develops an individualized treatment plan.

It is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle, eliminate bad habits, balance your diet and avoid stress. This stage helps to create the best conditions for successful IVF.

Ovarian stimulation

During a natural cycle, a woman usually produces only one egg. To increase the chances of success in an IVF cycle, hormonal stimulation is prescribed to help multiple eggs mature.

Key aspects of this stage:

  • The use of hormonal drugs (e.g., gonadotropins (Gonal F, Puregon, Rekovel, Humog, Menopur)) under strict medical supervision.
  • Regular monitoring through ultrasound and blood tests to assess the development of follicles.
  • The duration of stimulation is usually 10-12 days.

The doctor stops the stimulation when the follicles reach the required size and injects a drug for the final maturation of the eggs (Ovitrel or Differin, Decapeptil).

Egg collection

This procedure, known as follicle puncture, is performed under intravenous anesthesia and ultrasound guidance. The doctor inserts a thin needle through the vagina into the ovary to draw out the fluid from the follicles that contains the eggs.

  • The procedure lasts 20-30 minutes.
  • After being taken, the woman remains under observation for several hours.
  • The resulting eggs are transferred to embryologists for further fertilization.

In vitro fertilization

At this stage, the eggs are combined with sperm in the laboratory. Depending on the quality of the sperm, two methods can be used:

  1. Traditional in vitro fertilization (IVF) – eggs are placed in a medium with sperm for natural fertilization.
  2. ICSI – one best sperm is injected directly into the egg.

16-18 hours after the procedure, embryologists check whether fertilization has occurred.

Cultivation of embryos

The fertilized eggs (zygotes) are transferred to special incubators, where conditions similar to natural ones are created. During this period, the embryos are actively developing, and doctors assess their quality.

  • Cultivation lasts from 2 to 6 days.
  • The best embryos are selected for transfer to the uterus or cryopreservation.

At this stage, genetic testing of embryos can be performed to identify possible chromosomal abnormalities.

Embryo transfer

Embryo transfer is a simple procedure that is performed without anesthesia. The embryo is inserted into the uterine cavity using a thin catheter under ultrasound guidance.

  • Usually, 1-2 embryos are transferred to minimize the risk of multiple pregnancy.
  • The procedure takes no more than 15 minutes.

After the transfer, the doctor may prescribe hormonal support to facilitate the implantation of the embryo.

What to do after embryo transfer?

After the procedure, it is important for a woman to follow the doctor’s recommendations:

  • Avoid physical activity and stress.
  • Continue taking the prescribed medications.
  • Monitor your health and inform your doctor of any changes.

10-14 days after the transfer, a blood test for HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) is performed to confirm pregnancy.

What problems does IVF solve?

IVF as a solution for infertility

In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a leading technique that allows you to overcome various forms of infertility. IVF provides a chance for pregnancy even in difficult cases when other methods are ineffective. The main problems that IVF solves:

  • Female infertility: obstruction or absence of fallopian tubes, endometriosis, ovulation disorders, polycystic ovaries.
  • Male infertility: low sperm quality, reduced sperm motility.
  • Infertility of unclear genesis: cases when the cause of the inability to get pregnant is not established.
  • Genetic diseases: the possibility of using preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) to avoid the transmission of hereditary diseases.

Artificial insemination and reproductive health

IVF not only helps to get pregnant, but also helps to improve reproductive health due to:

  • Comprehensive examination before the procedure, which allows you to identify hidden diseases.
  • Developing individualized treatment programs that take into account the health status of patients.
  • The use of modern technologies to restore fertility, such as in vitro egg maturation and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), embryoscopy, visualization of the division spindles, etc.

How does IVF help to achieve pregnancy?

IVF significantly increases the chances of pregnancy, even if natural conception is not possible. The main advantages:

  • Use of hormonal stimulation to produce more than one egg.
  • Fertilization of eggs in the laboratory ensures control over the quality of embryos.
  • Possibility to freeze embryos for subsequent attempts.
  • Transfer of one or more quality embryos into the uterus, which minimizes the risk of multiple pregnancy.

Possible complications of IVF

Risks and side effects

IVF is a safe procedure, but it can be accompanied by the following complications:

  • Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS): occurs due to an excessive ovarian response to stimulation.
  • Multiple pregnancy: transferring multiple embryos can increase the risk of complications during pregnancy.
  • Ectopic pregnancy: in rare cases, the embryo can implant outside the uterus.
  • Embryological risks: stopping the development of embryos in the early stages.

How to minimize the risks of IVF

Modern IVF methods minimize the risk of complications:

  • Use of mild stimulation protocols to reduce the risk of SUI.
  • Application of the trigger for final oocyte maturation, aGnRH.
  • Selective embryo transfer: transfer of one high-quality embryo reduces the risk of multiple pregnancy.
  • Monitoring the health status of patients at all stages of the procedure.
  • Application of preimplantation diagnostics to exclude genetic pathologies.

Careful preparation for the procedure and choosing a qualified clinic ensure safety and increase the chances of success.
