Introduction
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is one of the most effective fertility treatments available today. This guide provides a physician-led overview of how IVF works, expected success rates, and what you can anticipate.
What Is IVF?
IVF involves retrieving eggs, fertilizing them in a lab, and transferring embryos into the uterus. It bypasses natural conception challenges, offering higher chances of success.
Step-by-Step: How IVF Works
1. Ovarian Stimulation – Fertility medications produce multiple eggs.
2. Egg Retrieval – Eggs are collected in an outpatient procedure.
3. Fertilization – Eggs meet sperm in the lab (standard insemination or ICSI).
4. Embryo Development – Embryologists monitor growth until Day 3 or Day 5.
5. Embryo Transfer – One or more embryos placed in uterus.
6. Pregnancy Test – Bloodwork confirms success.
IVF Success Rates
Success rates vary by age:
– Under 35: ~50%
– Age 35–37: ~40%
– Age 38–40: ~25%
– Over 40: ~10–15%
Lab quality and embryo testing also impact outcomes.
What to Expect During IVF
IVF is physically and emotionally demanding. Expect injections, ultrasounds, and bloodwork. Support from physicians and counselors makes it manageable.
Emotional and Financial Considerations
IVF is a major investment. Costs range $15,000–$25,000 per cycle in the U.S. Insurance may help, and Surrogacy4All offers affordable pathways with support.
