In vitro fertilization is actually a method of conception and pregnancy when the old way is not effective for no matter what reason. Maybe the woman is not as fertile as she formerly was and possibly the man’s sperm tally is declining. Whichever way, in vitro fertilization process takes the egg and the sperm externally to use in a lab where a scientist could get them together in a much more effectual way. The egg is fertilized by the sperm. Once this process takes place, the egg is entrenched into the woman’s uterus. Around 9 months later and you should be happily playing with your baby.
I know this has painted a rosy picture, but we also have to consider the success rates of hospitals who undertake such processes, the success rates vary from region to region and many other factors contribute to the success rate of any clinic performing the procedure of in vitro fertilization, many clinics claim to have a perfect or near perfect success rate, but this has to be questioned further and research has to be done, my personal opinion says that most of these claims are just marketing pitches and has nothing to do with the reality, if you see the success rate of IVF in the clinics performing such operations in the last ten years, you will notice that this is not a straight forward process but a process that involves the physical states of the patients involved, all that we do think of while performing such operations is whether achieve our goal, that is get a baby biologically.
Akin to all other man made system, IVF has its own share of confines and unfavorable effects. The achievement rate of the process and the danger of suffering an ectopic pregnancy are still at large; a pregnancy that implants and develops external to the uterine cavity and approximately always ends up with ruptured uterine tube, are there are two of such issues.
In addition, with IVF, pregnancy does not for all time promise birth. Miscarriages and other ectopic pregnancy tend to be still at large with this modus operandi compared to the others in the general population. Losing a pregnancy from an in vitro fertilization process is quite common, even though no facts are available to prove it, whilst ectopic pregnancy rate is thought to be around five to ten percent of all in vitro fertilization procedures.
These above mentioned factors make the process vulnerable to many kinds of failures and some of those are out of even the most professional hands, doctors can only predict the outcome, but the end result is still a gamble, which we all are ready to take for the sake of the common good, having said that, there are a large number of people who are skeptical about the process, I have to say that this is probably the best bet for people who are sterile, the process is quite the natural thing only with a tinge of science involved and for most part is devoid of any major side effects, you can be cautious but you should not be pessimistic, so if you have decided to go in for a in vitro fertilization procedure, go ahead and get one done.
