In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) Program
Many couples willing to have their own child are unable to get pregnant after first line therapy such as ovulation induction, intrauterine insemination (IUI), or reproductive surgery. For these couples, the next logical step is to explore the Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) like In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) popularly known as Test Tube Baby.
What is in Vitro Fertilization (IVF)?
In Vitro Fertilization is a specialized process wherein an egg and sperm are combined in vitro – a Latin word which means “in glass” or outside the human body. IVF can help in fertilization, embryo development, and implantation. It involves the patient taking medicines (oral and injections) and certain surgical procedures that help to fertilize an egg and sperm.
First you will be given medication that make your eggs mature and ready for fertilization. The doctor will extract some of the eggs from your body. Some of these eggs can be frozen and stored for later use, if needed. An egg is mixed with the sperm so that an embryo is formed. One or more embryos are then inserted into the uterus. When any of the embryos implant in the lining of the uterine wall, pregnancy takes place!
IVF is a complex process and one cycle can take several months to complete. Depending on age and other factors, more than one cycle may be needed for IVF pregnancy success. For couples having difficulty getting pregnant, IVF can definitely increase chances of pregnancy, but there are no 100% guarantees any fertility clinic can give you.

What kind of IVF Medications are given?
It is necessary to take certain medications during the IVF cycle in order to prepare the body for the treatment. Medication is the primary treatment for women with ovulatory disorders and for IVF treatment. Injectable medication is given to stimulate the ovaries and to develop mature eggs. These drugs work to help release hormones that trigger or regulate ovulation. IVF medications may be used to prepare the uterus.
The instructions for each medication vary from patient to patient. The medical team at Xenith will analyze your case closely to determine which medications to use, what dosage to take, when to administer the medications and how long to take them.
