This is the science of helping women have a successful pregnancy. One technique is In Vitro Fertilization, used among patients with tubal disease, endometriosis, husband with oligospermia (low count) and/or sperm antibodies, and unexplained infertility. The procedure involves drug stimulation of the ovaries to produce oocytes (eggs), retrieval of the oocyte by Ultrasound-guided needle biopsy of the follicle transvaginally, fertilization of the oocyte in the "test tube" with washed sperm, culturing the embryos for about 40 hours, after which 3 to 4 embryos are transferred to the uterine cavity (womb). The rest of the embryos may be frozen in liquid nitrogen for future transfer in subsequent natural cycle, if needed.

What is the success rate of this technique?

Although multiple embryos are transferred into the uterus, the average term pregnancy with In Vitro Fertilization is only about one in five (20%) to one in four (25%) at best per attempt.

What are the other "surgical" assisted means?

GIFT or Gamete Intra Fallopian Tube transfer , where the in vitro fertilized embryos are transferred to the distal fallopian tubes laparoscopically or transvaginally guided by Ultrasound. When other techniques have not succeeded, Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection is done , where the sperm is injected directly to the oocyte, to ensure sperm penetration and attachment.

Assisted reproduction refers to a number of advanced techniques that aid fertilization. These techniques are often used for women who have irreversible damage to their fallopian tubes or cervical mucous problems. It can also benefit couples with unexplained infertility.

Assisted reproductive technology (ART) is a general term referring to methods used to achieve pregnancy by artificial or partially artificial means. It is reproductive technology used primarily in infertility treatments.

what is the most well known of assisted reproduction techniques?

sweet_daisy - February 11th, 2011 4:48 AM

IVF is the most well known of assisted reproduction techniques. In this method, the woman takes fertility drugs to stimulate her ovaries to produce more eggs.

yeah! i also heard that IVF Is the most well known technique in ART.

to prove.. there are an estimated 45,000 children in the U.S. have been born as a result of in vitro fertilization since 1983.
