Many times, after trying for several years, couples are advised by the fertility experts to go for IVF treatment which is an assisted reproductive technique. Considering IVF for conception will impact you in different ways such as emotionally and financially. Here’s what you need to know before you go for the IVF treatment. This treatment involves multiple steps during the entire cycle. These steps include:
- ovarian stimulation
- egg harvest (oocyte pickup)
- in vitro fertilization (IVF)
- embryo culture
All these steps will be performed to artificially increase the number of mature eggs for fertilization. This is all about the IVF process but its success rate is dependent on a number of factors including the age of the woman, previous medical history and fertility issues. Age is considered an important factor in the success of the treatment as there is a requirement of the quality of eggs. Quality and quantity of eggs get decreased with the passage of time. The cost of the cycle varies from clinics to clinics. For improving the chances of success of the treatment, you need to have a better and balanced diet that is rich in iron.
