Test Tube Fertilization

What is in vitro fertilization (IVF) and how does it work?

In vitro fertilization, also known as in vitro fertilization (IVF), is a technique used to help couples conceive. It involves extracting eggs from the woman's ovaries and fertilizing them in a laboratory with sperm from the man. A fertilized egg is called an embryo and this is then transferred to the woman's uterus, where it can attach and result in pregnancy. In vitro fertilization has a high success rate at our clinics.

Test tube fertilization step by step:

• The woman is stimulated with hormones to make more eggs mature in the ovaries.
• The eggs are collected from the woman's ovaries. This is done with the help of a needle that is passed through the wall of the vagina and into the ovary.
• The sperm is obtained from the man's sperm.
• The eggs and sperm are combined in a laboratory dish, where fertilization occurs.
• The embryos are transferred to the woman's uterus using a small tube.

In vitro fertilization is a safe and effective procedure that can help both couples and singles to have children. Thanks to the expertise of our doctors, this procedure is available to many couples who would otherwise have difficulty conceiving.

In vitro fertilization - who can benefit from treatment?

In vitro fertilization is a process in which an embryo is formed in a laboratory outside a woman's body. This technique can be used to help couples who struggle to conceive naturally, or to treat women who have experienced multiple miscarriages. In vitro fertilization has helped countless couples conceive.

Success rates of test-tube and fertility treatments.

The chance of getting pregnant after one cycle of fertility treatment is over 50% for women under 35 years of age. But it is important to know that there are large individual variations that can affect the results. The chance of success decreases with age. Again, there are large individual differences, but the natural fertility of women gradually decreases from the age of 36-37 years. Some people have to go through several rounds of treatment before they are successful, but it is important to be aware of the statistics and individual variations when considering fertility treatment. Besides age, important factors that influence the chances of success with IVF are the woman's ovarian reserves, how long one has been trying to conceive and whether the woman has had children in the past. You may want to not wait too long before seeking help.

If you're considering fertility treatment, it's a good idea to talk to one of our doctors about your options. That way, you can make an informed decision about which treatment is right for you.

There are several different treatments available, and your success rate will depend on the type of treatment you receive. For example, in vitro fertilization (IVF) has a higher success rate than drug treatment or intrauterine insemination (IUI).

Frequently Asked Questions.

• When do you start with test tubes? Most people start with test tubes when they have been trying to conceive on their own for a year without success, but often you may want to reach out for a check-up as early as six months. Since age is such an important factor, it is especially important not to wait too long for women who are in their late 30s or have passed 40.
• EAre IVF and test tubes the same? In vitro fertilization and IVF are the same thing. It refers to the treatment in which one extracts eggs from the woman's ovaries and fertilizes them in the laboratory in a small petri dish.
• Are test tubes painful? Some may feel a little bloated and tender in the stomach during the period when the ovaries are stimulated with hormones, but for most people this is very well tolerated and one can live more or less completely as normal. On the day of egg extraction, pain relievers are given in tablet form, in addition to placing local anesthetics at the top of the vagina. The egg withdrawal itself is described by the vast majority more as a discomfort than outright painful. There are individual differences, but most people tolerate an egg withdrawal very well. For those who find an egg withdrawal more painful, they may be offered egg withdrawal under general anesthesia.
• Can one choose gender by test tube? You do not have the opportunity to choose your gender through test-tube treatment in Norway.
• How many test tube trials do you get? You can receive treatment until you reach the age of 46. Beyond this, there are no restrictions, but the doctor will give you guidance and advice along the way whether it makes sense to make another attempt or not.
• How long does test tube processing take? It may vary slightly depending on the plan or protocol your doctor makes for you. The most common is that the woman is stimulated with hormones from the first day of her menstruation. She then arrives for an ultrasound check with a doctor on days 8-9. On this control, the day of egg extraction is determined, which is usually around day 11-14. The embryos (the fertilized eggs) are grown in the laboratory for 2-5 days before one of them is inserted back into the woman's uterus. Take a pregnancy test at the time of expecting your next menstrual period.
• Who can get test-tube treatment? Single women or couples. The couple should either be married or cohabiting in marriage-like relationships. The relationship should be stable and the relationship should be in order for a child to be cared for in a safe and good manner. There is no absolute lower age limit. Absolute upper age limit is 46 years for the woman. For the man, the upper age limit is 65 years, but here there is room for individual assessments.
