IVF support in Melbourne is generally suggested for women who had issues with conceiving naturally. It is a complex process that involves a set of procedures, to assist the couple or the single woman in overcoming genetic problems or with the conception of a child.
During the process, the women's health specialist would collect mature eggs from ovaries and fertilise them in a lab, with the help of sperm. The next step would be to transfer the fertilised egg (embryo) or embryos into the uterus. The complete process would take three weeks. In some instances, the health expert would conduct the process in multiple parts, which would then take a longer time.
Studies have shown that IVF is the most effective form of assisted reproductive technology. The professionals would take the egg and sperm from the couple seeking the treatment. If the couple has issues with egg or sperm, they could seek an anonymous donor or from someone they trust. The choice would be left entirely to the couple.
Experts believe that the success of the procedure and health of the baby would indeed depend on various factors, such as age and cause of infertility. In most cases, the process is time taking, expensive and invasive. If the health expert decides for multiple embryo transfer, then it could result in multiple pregnancies.
The procedure is suggested for women over the age of forty. It could work for younger women if they face specific health issues. The health issues that could call for the artificial form of conceiving are:
• Fallopian tube damage or blockage: Damage to the tube would make it impossible for the egg to reach the uterus, thus reducing the chance of fertilisation.
• Ovulation disorders: If a woman faces issues with ovulation, then the number of health eggs would be reduced, thus lessening the chance of healthy fertilisation.
• Endometriosis: This condition occurs when uterine tissue implants grow outside the uterus; hence, affecting the function of ovaries, uterus and fallopian tubes.
• Uterine fibroids: Fibroids are benign tumours over the wall of the uterus, a common problem with women in the age group of 30-40.
• Impaired sperm production: Below-average sperm concentration, weak movement or other abnormalities could make it difficult for fertilisation.
• Unexplained infertility: In such conditions, both partners could be healthy and could not have any issue with their health; but conceiving could be a problem.
The health expert would be able to decide the correct time for the procedure.
