IVF Support and Fertility

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is a widely used assisted reproductive technology (ART) that helps individuals and couples achieve pregnancy. The IVF process involves several key steps:

  1. Ovarian Stimulation: Medications are used to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs.

  2. Egg Retrieval: Mature eggs are collected from the ovaries using a minor surgical procedure.

  3. Fertilization: The retrieved eggs are combined with sperm in a laboratory to facilitate fertilization.

  4. Embryo Culture: Fertilized eggs (embryos) are cultured in the lab for several days.

  5. Embryo Transfer: One or more healthy embryos are transferred into the uterus.

IVF can be an effective option for individuals with various fertility challenges, including blocked fallopian tubes, male factor infertility, and unexplained infertility. Pre IVF nutrition and lifestyle support will enhance the success of your treatment.
