IVF Pregnancy Complications: Signs and Solutions
If you’ve been trying for a baby for quite some time now, and for several lifestyle reasons, you’ve been unsuccessful, IVF treatment is the best way out. IVF is a scientifically and technologically advanced procedure to help you become a mother.
The signs why you might need an IVF treatment
Before you’ve entered the IVF treatment for infertility, you and your partner may have to understand the reasons behind it: Your biological clock is ticking: You may be over 30, 35, or 40 years of age, when the eggs are declining, and your chances of getting pregnant are reducing. In that case, an IVF treatment is necessary.
Blockage or Damage of the Fallopian Tube
The fallopian tubes are essential for the reproductive process in women. They serve as the pathway for eggs to travel from the ovaries to the uterus, where they can be fertilized by sperm. If there are any issues such as blockages or damage to the fallopian tubes, it can hinder the natural process of conception. Seeking medical attention and advice for any concerns related to the fallopian tubes is crucial for ensuring optimal fertility. Therefore, over 30% of women are unable to become pregnant naturally, due to blocked or damaged fallopian tubes undergo IVF Treatment.
Ovulation disorders
Disturbances in egg production (also known as an oocyte or ovum) during the ovulation cycle result in infertility. IVF treatment can help during this phase.
Endometriosis
In this condition, the uterine lining grows outside the uterus; and this condition impacts the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries in a way that you can’t become a mother naturally.
Sometimes, there are unexplained reasons for infertility, undergoing a test, you can find out the reasons for it – like a miscarriage, genetic disorder, or any other health conditions.
The Solutions to Produce Mature Eggs
To start an IVF cycle, there are lab-made hormones to support the ovaries producing eggs. Multiple eggs can also be produced when the eggs won’t even be fertilised. You can also take medicines during the IVF procedure.
- These medicines help in
- Stimulating the ovaries
- Helping the eggs get mature
- Delaying the ovulation cycle
- Getting the uterine lining ready
So, during the IVF procedure, the healthy sperm and mature eggs come together and are kept in a controlled incubator. An embryo “hatches” after 5 to 6 days from the membrane and attaches to the uterine lining.
