Understanding Fertility: What You Need to Know
Fertility is a complex process that involves both partners, and various factors can affect a couple’s ability to conceive. These factors can include age, lifestyle, underlying medical conditions, hormonal imbalances, and issues with reproductive organs. For women, common fertility concerns include irregular ovulation, blocked fallopian tubes, or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). For men, low sperm count or poor sperm quality may be contributing factors.
If you’ve been struggling to conceive for more than a year (or six months if you’re over 35), it’s advisable to consult with a fertility expert. Understanding the underlying cause of infertility is the first step toward exploring treatment options, which may include lifestyle changes, medication, or advanced fertility treatments like In Vitro Fertilization (IVF).
What is IVF (In Vitro Fertilization)?
IVF, or In Vitro Fertilization, is a medical procedure where an egg and sperm are combined outside of the body in a laboratory setting. Once an embryo forms, it’s then transferred into the woman’s uterus to establish a pregnancy. IVF has helped millions of couples around the world achieve successful pregnancies and is often recommended when other fertility treatments have not been successful or when specific conditions affect fertility.
At Sibakon Hospital, our IVF process is highly personalized, and we work closely with our patients to ensure that the treatment plan is right for them. Here’s an overview of the IVF process:
- Ovarian Stimulation
The first step of IVF is stimulating the ovaries to produce multiple eggs, which are needed to increase the chances of successful fertilization. This is done through hormone injections that encourage the ovaries to release more eggs. - Egg Retrieval
Once the eggs are mature, they are carefully retrieved from the ovaries using a minimally invasive procedure, typically under light sedation. - Fertilization
The retrieved eggs are combined with sperm in a laboratory. The fertilized eggs are monitored for growth and development over several days. In some cases, ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) may be used, where a single sperm is injected directly into the egg. - Embryo Transfer
After a few days of development, the best quality embryos are selected and transferred into the woman’s uterus. This is a relatively simple and painless procedure. - Pregnancy Test
About two weeks after the embryo transfer, a blood test is performed to check for pregnancy. If successful, an ultrasound will be scheduled to monitor the pregnancy’s progression.

IVF Success Rates and What to Expect
While IVF can be incredibly effective, it’s important to manage expectations. Success rates can vary depending on a variety of factors such as age, the cause of infertility, and the overall health of the patients involved. Generally, the younger the woman, the higher the success rates. However, advances in IVF technology have helped improve outcomes for people of all ages.
At Sibakon Hospital, we will provide you with a thorough understanding of your chances for success and discuss any potential challenges ahead. We believe that open communication is key to helping you make informed decisions about your treatment.
When Should You Consider IVF?
IVF may be recommended for a variety of reasons, including but not limited to:
- Blocked Fallopian Tubes
If your fallopian tubes are blocked or damaged, IVF can bypass this problem by combining the eggs and sperm directly in the lab. - Male Infertility
Low sperm count or poor sperm quality can affect natural conception, but IVF (often combined with ICSI) can help address this issue. - Endometriosis
For women with endometriosis, IVF can be an effective solution if other fertility treatments have not worked. - Unexplained Infertility
If no specific cause for infertility can be determined after extensive testing, IVF may be considered to increase the likelihood of pregnancy.
