In vitro fertilization (IVF) is one of the assisted reproductive techniques (ART) in which a man’s sperm and the woman’s egg are combined in a laboratory dish, where fertilization occurs. When the egg is fertilized, the primary cell begins to divide and form the embryo. The resulting embryo or embryos is/are then transferred to the woman’s uterus to implant and develop naturally.
Nowadays, IVF can be used to treat infertility with various causes:
Two weeks after the IVF procedure, if the pregnancy test was positive, it shows the process is successful. The study shows that the female under 35 years old, has over 40% chance of pregnancy. By increasing age, the chance of pregnancy will be reduced. The success rates are generally reported accordingly to the woman’s age since as a woman gets older, the IVF success rates go down. In spite of the female age, the couple’s lifestyle is an important factor in IVF success. Also, smoking and a stressful lifestyle are other negative factors affecting IVF outcomes. learn more about the most effective and helpful IVF success tips: Ways to Increase Your Chances of IVF Success
Can you select the sex of the embryo in the IVF process?
The advantage of using IVF is that you can use complementary techniques such as pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) and Micro sorting for sex selection. The PGD technique helps couples who have a genetic disorder and gives them an opportunity to have a normal baby.
In IVF and ICSI, it is possible to determine the sex of the fetus before transferring the fetus to the uterus by using the PGD technique. In this method, screening is usually performed before the transfer of the embryo to the mother’s uterus, and after the necessary examinations and tests, the sex is determined.
After embryo formations in IVF, a cell is isolated from the dividing embryo and subjected to genetic and chromosomal analysis. After determining the sex of the embryos, the embryo with the desired gender is transferred to the mother’s uterus. (Learn more about Gender Selection)
