IVF Treatment

IVF (In Vitro Fertilisation) is a highly effective fertility treatment that involves fertilising an egg with sperm outside the body before transferring the embryo into the uterus.

What is IVF?

IVF is a type of assisted reproductive treatment designed to help individuals and couples conceive.

It may be recommended where natural conception is difficult or has not been successful, including in cases of unexplained infertility or known medical conditions affecting fertility.

The treatment allows fertilisation to take place in a controlled laboratory environment, increasing the chances of pregnancy in suitable patients.

Who may benefit from IVF?

IVF may be appropriate for:

  • Blocked or damaged fallopian tubes

  • Male factor infertility

  • Unexplained infertility

  • Endometriosis

  • Reduced ovarian reserve

  • Previous unsuccessful fertility treatments

What does the process involve?

IVF treatment typically involves several stages:

1. Ovarian stimulation
Medication is used to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs.

2. Egg collection
Eggs are retrieved from the ovaries using a minor procedure under ultrasound guidance.

3. Fertilisation
The eggs are fertilised with sperm in a laboratory. In some cases, ICSI may be used.

4. Embryo transfer
One or more embryos are transferred into the uterus.

Success rates and expectations

Success rates vary depending on age, medical history, and individual circumstances.

A personalised consultation will provide a clearer understanding of the likelihood of success and the most appropriate treatment approach.
