What is IVF? In vitro fertilization, commonly referred to as IVF, is a treatment for fertility or genetic issues. Process: Several eggs are extracted from a woman’s ovary and merged with collected sperm in a laboratory. Outcome: Fertilized eggs grow to become embryos, which are then transferred into the uterus for implantation. When Should You Consider IVF Treatment? • Infertility causes: Blocked or nonfunctional fallopian tubes, decreased ovarian reserve, low sperm count, or advanced reproductive age. • Other scenarios: Possibility of genetic mutation, need for a surrogate, individuals wanting to have a family without a partner, or same-sex couples ready to have a baby.
The IVF Process STEP 1: Birth Control Pills/Estrogen Purpose: Controlling the menstrual cycle and reducing the risk of ovarian cysts. Medication: Birth control pills or estrogen medication may be prescribed based on consultation and test results. STEP 2: Ovarian Stimulation Duration: Over 10 to 14 days. Process: Hormone injections stimulate egg maturation. Monitoring: Blood tests and ultrasounds to monitor hormone levels and follicle growth. Maturity: Follicles more than 14 millimeters suggest matured eggs.
IVF Process STEP 3: Egg Retrieval and Fertilization Technique: Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) involves injecting sperm into the eggs. Success rate: Average success rate is 70% for fertilization. Outcome: Fertilized eggs become embryos. STEP 4: Embryo Development and Transfer Monitoring: Ongoing monitoring of embryo development. Grading: Embryo grading helps select viable embryos for transfer. Cleavage stage (Day 3): Viable embryos with uniform-sized cells. Blastocysts (Day 5): More complex grading based on appearance and expansion. Wait for blood test results 9 to 14 days after embryo transfer for the result.
IVF Risks You Need to Know Multiple pregnancies: Risk of premature labor and low birth weight. Ectopic pregnancy: Life-threatening condition when a fertilized egg implants outside the uterus. Surgical risks: Organ damage, infection, and bleeding. Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS): Rare condition with symptoms like rapid weight gain, bloating, nausea, abdominal pain, etc.
IVF Funding Cost reduction: Government-funded IVF funding available in certain cities in Ontario. Eligibility: Ontario residents with a valid provincial health card (OHIP). Inclusivity: Open to anyone receiving funded IVF services, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, or family status.
