Understanding IVF: Key Information

What is IVF?

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is an assisted reproductive technology where eggs are retrieved from ovaries and fertilized with sperm in a laboratory. The resulting embryos are then transferred to the uterus. IVF is used to treat various fertility issues and help individuals and couples achieve pregnancy.

Typical IVF Timeline

  • Weeks 1-2: Ovarian suppression (birth control pills or Lupron)
  • Days 1-3: Baseline ultrasound and bloodwork
  • Days 4-12: Ovarian stimulation with daily injections
  • Days 10-14: Monitoring appointments every 1-2 days
  • Day 14-16: Trigger shot when follicles are ready
  • Day 16-18: Egg retrieval (36 hours after trigger)
  • Days 16-21: Fertilization and embryo development
  • Day 21 or 23: Fresh embryo transfer (Day 3 or 5)
  • Day 30-32: Beta HCG pregnancy test

Important Factors Affecting IVF Success

  • Age (particularly maternal age)
  • Ovarian reserve (AMH, FSH levels)
  • Cause of infertility
