IVF (in vitro fertilization) - assisted fertilization and involuntary childlessness.

In Vitro Fertilization, or IVF, is a medical procedure that involves fertilizing eggs outside the woman's body and then inserting embryos into the uterus to have a pregnancy. It is the most common form of assisted fertilization used to treat infertility.

IVF procedures help patients get pregnant and are an effective for treating involuntary childlessness. Patients who need help getting pregnant are advised to contact us at Klinikk Hausken. We offer this treatment and help both single women and couples to have the child they want.

What is IVF?

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is a medical procedure used to treat infertility. It involves fertilizing eggs and sperm outside the woman's body, then placing the embryos into the uterus. The IVF procedure is relatively complex, but has proven to be very successful in treating infertility.

The method singles women and couples the opportunity to have children they otherwise would not have had. There are also a number of extra steps that can be taken to increase the chances of pregnancy, like using donor sperm or freezing more eggs.

More about IVF treatment.

The procedure involves several steps. First, the woman must take hormones to stimulate the ovaries to produce eggs. The eggs are then collected using a procedure called egg collection. After the eggs have been collected, they are fertilized with sperm cells in a laboratory procedure called insemination.

After the eggs have been fertilized, they develop into embryos. The embryos are then monitored to ensure they are developing normally. Around three to five days after collection, the embryos are then transplanted into the uterus.

Your doctor at Klinikk Hausken will be able to recommend whether there will be either one or two embryos to be returned. Once the embryo is set back, the woman's uterus will take over the natural development of the fetus. In most cases, the woman will be told to return to the clinic to undergo ultrasound 14 days after the embryo is put back. The doctor will be able to confirm whether the embryo has attached itself to the uterus.

IVF treatment course.

After the embryos are inserted into the uterus, it will take several weeks before one can know for sure whether the treatment was successful. It is important to understand that it may take several attempts before pregnancy is achieved. The doctor can decide when a pregnancy test should be done, but this is normally around two weeks after the transplant.

It is also important to note that some people need several rounds of assisted fertilization before they are successful. However, most people who receive assisted fertilization can achieve pregnancy within one or two years.

We have a separate page with a detailed overview of each step.

IVF attempts — experience.

The results and experiences vary from person to person. Some women do not experience any side effects, while others may experience side effects such as nausea, bloating, headaches, and fatigue. It is important to understand that this is completely normal and that it usually passes after treatment. It is also important to follow the recommendations of the doctor to ensure that the treatment is successful.

IVF success rate.

The success rate is quite high, although it is difficult to give an exact digit. There are several factors that can affect the success rate, such as the woman's age and health, and the amount of eggs collected and fertilized. In general, the success rate is higher in younger females and when more eggs are collected and fertilized.

A man's age and sperm quality have a big influence on IVF and its success rate. Younger men generally have better sperm quality, which increases the chances that the egg will be fertilized. Poor sperm quality can reduce the chances that the egg will be fertilized, as there may not be enough sperm to fertilize the egg. As men age, sperm quality often deteriorates, which can cause it to take longer to achieve pregnancy.

IVF — age limit.

A woman cannot receive assisted fertilization treatment after she is 46 years old. The time is counted from insemination or insertion of a fertilized egg. A woman's age and health can reduce her chances of achieving pregnancy with IVF. It is therefore important to discuss the possibilities with your doctor before starting IVF treatment.

One should not wait too long before starting IVF because the age of the woman has a great influence on the success rate. The younger the woman, the greater the chances that she will achieve pregnancy. It is also important to remember that egg quality also decreases with age, which can cause it to take longer to achieve pregnancy.

IVF treatment price.

The price for IVF treatment may vary depending on your situation and your needs. Most people who come to us start with a fertility check. This examination gives the doctor a good starting point for recommending a customized treatment regimen. Sometimes a fertility test will show that no comprehensive treatment is required. Sometimes nature just needs a little extra help.

IVF treatment risks.

This type of treatment is very safe, but there are still some risks involved. These include, among other things, allergic reactions, infections, hemorrhages and damage to organ systems. There is also a small risk of developing multiples (multiple babies) when multiple embryos are transplanted. Our doctors will always evaluate your treatment, prognosis and possible risks before starting treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions.

Below we have collected some of the questions that patients often ask us. Please contact us if you do not find the answers you are looking for.

What is the difference between IVF and assisted fertilization?

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is a medical procedure that involves fertilizing eggs and sperm outside the woman's body, then placing the embryos into the uterus.

Assisted fertilization includes all forms of fertility treatments that involve assistance from outside the body, such as egg donation, sperm donation or artificial insemination. Assisted fertilization can be used in combination with IVF to increase the chances of achieving pregnancy.

Can two women get assisted fertilization in Norway?

Yes, two women can get IVF treatment in Norway. Assisted fertilization is available for women who are involuntarily childless, and it is possible for two women to have the treatment together. IVF treatment with partner donation follows a set of medical procedures that require both women to receive the necessary medical examinations to ensure they are suitable for the treatment.

What does in vitro fertilization mean?

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is a technique used to treat infertility. It involves fertilising the woman's eggs and sperm outside the body, before the embryos are inserted into the womb. IVF has proven to be successful in treating infertility and giving both couples and singles the opportunity to have a child they otherwise would not have had.

Are there big differences in the quality of sperm and eggs as you get older?

Yes, there is a big difference between the quality of sperm and eggs as you get older. For women, the risk of miscarriage and genetic abnormalities increase with age, while men often produce fewer sperm and lower quality sperm after the age of 40. This can lead to lower chances of getting pregnant, but even older couples have the opportunity to have children with assisted fertilization.
