Other than the adoption process, undergoing the ivf or in vitro fertilization process can also be taken into consideration especially by those couples or women who want to conceive a child that comes from their own egg, bear a child that has the same genetic make-up that they have, and those who want to experience the pregnancy process.
During the ivf process, the woman undergoes stimulation by taking prescribed medications that can help enhance and increase the number of eggs that her ovaries produce and then egg retrieval or follicular aspiration is done once the ultrasound and other blood test results show that the eggs are ready to be removed. This process is considered as a minor surgery and would need the woman to take in some medications to help reduce the pain that she will feel during the procedure. The eggs are then placed in a test tube together with the sperm to allow insemination to happen, and just after a few hours the egg becomes fertilized and then becomes an embryo in about five days. The embryo is then implanted to the woman uterus three to five days after. Follow-up check-ups after 12 – 14 days and careful monitoring is then done to confirm positive results of the procedure.
Ivf, ART (assisted reproductive technology), or sometimes referred to as test-tube baby procedure is usually performed and done to help those women who want to become pregnant but have a hard time due to prevailing medical conditions such as blocked or damaged fallopian tubes, which is usually caused by PID or pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis, fertility problems, and those women whose age are already quite advanced. The success of the procedure will usually depend on the individual's reproductive health and the woman's age and statistics have shown that there is 41-43% ivf success rate for those women less than 35 years of age, and 23-27% success rate in women whose age is already 38-40. But with the new advances in technology, there is greater probability to conceive a child even at any age.
Although ivf is one good option, the process is quite costly or expensive and will require the couple or the woman to spend a lot of time. Fertility medications taken during this process will cause physical strain and sometimes emotional stress to the woman because some side effects of these pills are abdominal pains, headaches, and mood swings. Always report or see your health care provider as soon as possible when there is fever, blood in the urine, or increased vaginal bleeding because the risks of bleeding, damage to the bowel and bladder, and infection can occur during the retrieval of the egg.
