In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) describes a technique where a woman’s eggs and man’s sperm are combined in a special laboratory in order to create an embryo(s). Depending on the diagnosis and age of the woman, an embryo or embryos are transferred to the woman’s uterus through her cervix to enhance the chances of pregnancy. The first birth resulting from IVF was in 1978 in England. When this technology was first introduced, IVF was only recommended to women with blocked fallopian tubes. Currently, IVF success rates have improved dramatically, and IVF is used for heterosexual and same sex couples experiencing infertility and even single women pursuing parenthood.<\/p>\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t The IVF process can be explained in these 4 steps; however to really understand how IVF can work for you, please consult with a reproductive endocrinologist or fertility doctor.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t There are many assisted reproductive technology (ART) myths and misconceptions.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t There are five options for IVF patients to consider when it comes to their remaining frozen embryos.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t We started a thought-provoking conversation with 3 panelists who shared with us “what they wish they had known about IVF.” We also talked candidly about the burning questions they had and the obstacles they faced in undergoing an IVF treatment.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t What happens in an embryology lab? How have cryo management protocols and technology changed how we track, store, and care for frozen eggs and embryos? What is the future of embryology? We had a conversation with two panelists who share their knowledge and experience behind the scenes of an embryology lab, the challenges embryologists face, and more.
