Generally, the process involves the fertilization of an egg derived from ovarian follicles with embryos within the suitable condition of a laboratory. The IVF and embryo transfer process requires five basic steps. Each successful implantation of retrieved eggs typically occurs after six to ten days which is termed as IVF cycle.
The first successful childbirth from an in vitro fertilization was reported in the year 1978. According to the Global statistics, approximately seven million fruitful pregnancies have been achieved through the IVF technique since then.

In Vitro Fertilization is an expensive process. As a result, generally, it has been the last option to choose after attempting other less costly procedures.
There are certain medical conditions responsible for why IVF is done under the expert observation of IVF doctors.
The major reasons considered for the IVF treatment are:
As a first initiative, doctors prescribe fertility medicines to accelerate egg production as the process requires multiple numbers of eggs. At this stage, an ovary examination is recommended through transvaginal ultrasound and blood test samples are taken for hormone level check.
The indication for IVF treatment is very important. It plays a vital role in increasing the chances of childbirth.
In the next step, a minor surgical procedure is conducted to restore the eggs. This might cause slight discomfort to the patient. However, proper medication can reduce and remove such irritations.
In the third step, sperm is prepared to combine with the egg under certain conditions in the laboratory.
In the fourth stage, the fertilization, a process called insemination, takes place at the lab that involves the mixing of sperm and eggs. An Intra Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is used in case of a lesser possibility of fertilization to make sure the attempt turns into a successful process. The eggs are kept under constant observation at the lab and once the fertilization takes place the eggs are considered embryos.
In the last stage, the embryos are transferred to the woman’s uterus after three to five days of retrieving and fertilization of eggs. The whole process generally doesn’t cause any complications, though; at times some patients may experience mild cramping.
