In simple terms, IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) is the process of fertilization that happens outside the body. The egg and the sperm are fertilized in a laboratory and once the fertilization happens, the embryo is transferred to the uterus. This cycle involves the following steps:

• Ovarian Stimulation: To stimulate the ovaries, gonadotrophins are given to produce multiple eggs so that the success rate can be enhanced.
• Egg Collection: A suction device is inserted in the vagina to draw the fluid out of every follicle.
• Sperm Collection: A Semen sample is taken from the male partner and it is then prepared in the laboratory and the healthiest sperm is used for IVF.
• Insemination: For the fertilization to happen the eggs and sperm are placed together and this process takes 18 hours. Approximately 12 hours post this step, the embryo begins to divide.
• Embryo Development: At this stage of the process, the embryo turns into a blastocyst and later the embryo transfer happens.
• Pregnancy: Once the embryo is transferred and it attaches to the inside of the uterus, pregnancy gets confirmed.

The role of age in IVF treatment cannot be undermined. Women in their early 20s and 30s have the brightest chances of getting pregnant through IVF treatment. As per a report, the percentage of live births per egg retrieval is:

• For women less than 35 years: 54.5%
• The age group of 35-37: 41.1%
• The age group of 38-40: 26.7%
• The age group of 41-42: 13.8%
• The age group 43 and above: 4.2%

The risks associated with pregnancy after 40 years are premature delivery, genetic abnormalities, complications in pregnancy, fetal mortality and life-threatening complications, chances of diabetes, preeclampsia, and miscarriage. The age of a woman is a big determinant for IVF to give the best results.

Embryo transfer is not painful and it takes 5-10 minutes does not require anesthesia or recovery time.

To be able to conceive through IVF, the egg and the sperm needs to be healthy. In this, the age of the woman, condition of the fallopian tubes, ovarian reserve, and lifestyle play an important role. It takes around two months for one cycle of IVF to get completed and women who are 35 years or less will be able to conceive with the first egg retrieval and embryo transfer It doesn't mean that women who are not able to conceive in the first go should get disheartened. A second or third cycle can help in successful conception for such females. The success rate of getting pregnant with every cycle is 25-30% and upon having three IVF cycles, the chances increase to 45-53%.
