IVF<\/h1><\/div>

IVF, known internationally as IVF from the term in vitro fertilization, is one of the most important and effective methods of assisted reproduction. For many couples facing fertility problems, it can be the most appropriate option to achieve pregnancy.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t

IVF can be applied to different cases of infertility, such as tubal factor, endometriosis, ovulation disorders, mild or more severe sperm problems, unexplained infertility, as well as in cases where previous simpler treatments did not have the desired effect.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>

During the process of IVF, the fertilization of the egg by the sperm is carried out in the laboratory and not inside the fallopian tubes of the woman, as is the case with natural conception. Depending on the history and needs of the couple, fertilization can be done either with the classic IVF method or by microinsemination, i.e. as referred to by the English term, ICSI.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n\n\t

The decision to have IVF is important and often accompanied by stress, questions and practical difficulties. For this reason, proper information and step-by-step guidance are essential. The goal is for the couple to know what the process includes, what are the real possibilities, what factors affect the result and what are the next steps.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n\n\t

IVF is a process in which the eggs are collected from the ovaries and fertilized in the laboratory with the partner's sperm or, where necessary, with donor sperm.<\/p>\n

The fertilized eggs are monitored in the embryological laboratory and develop into embryos. Then one or more embryos are transferred to the uterus, with the goal of implantation and achieving pregnancy.<\/p>\n

The method can be adapted to the needs of each couple. In some cases, classic IVF is applied, where the eggs and sperm are placed together in plates in the laboratory, and are expected to achieve fertilization on their own. In other cases, microinsemination is applied, where a sperm is injected directly into each mature egg.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t

IVF can be suggested when there are factors that make it difficult or make natural conception impossible, as well as when previous efforts with simpler methods have not led to pregnancy.<\/p>\n

Indicatively, it can be applied in cases such as:<\/p>\n
