Reproductive medical care has truly brought about a revolution in modern India, and IVF, or In Vitro Fertilization happens to be one of its biggest examples. IVF has helped a considerable number of couples for whom conceiving was seemingly impossible, to have their own children.

When Does IVF As A Procedure Come In Handy?

In Vitro Fertilization is helpful for couples where either partner who forms the couple is unable to partake in the conception process owing to some form of infertility or the other. It is also a helpful procedure for couples where both partners belong to the same gender, or for budding single parents.

IVF is also useful in case the couple wants to opt for a gestational carrier, that is a surrogate mother who will carry the child in her body for a certain period of time. Women who have issues with carrying the child due to having crossed a certain age, or having already crossed menopause can opt for this procedure too. 

As mentioned earlier, IVF works amazingly in cases of male infertility as well. Common male factor infertility includes low sperm count, an abnormality in sperm size, immotile sperm, lack of semen production, or low-quality semen production. All of these lead to a man being incapable of carrying a child. In such cases, sperm donation can also be considered to be an option for the external fertilization process.

IVF involves a very simple process of obtaining eggs from a woman's ovaries when she is in her most fertile phase of the month and obtaining semen from the man's body. Post this, the eggs and the semen are made to fertilize externally by combining them in a petri dish in the laboratory. This procedure is conducted by experts working in laboratories who have immense knowledge about the matter and have conducted several successful IVF procedures in the past.

The external fertilization process in IVF takes place within a time frame of two to three weeks (maximum). Post fertilization, one of the fertilized eggs is placed inside the mother's uterus.

Why Mental Preparation Is A Must

Mentally bracing yourself is essential for having a proper successful IVF procedure other than the technicalities, because it is something that is completely new and it might certainly scare you, beyond doubt. Therefore, having a certain amount of mental preparation before undergoing the IVF procedure is needed.

Many couples may experience anxiety during the period of fertilization. In case they have opted for a gestational carrier, the entire period remains a trying time for both parents. For single parents who have opted for the IVF procedure, the pressure takes a toll because they are handling two people's role in one and it is certainly not an easy task.

Being mentally prepared for IVF is therefore essential. Having a successful childbirth through in vitro fertilization is very much possible since doctors in India have conducted several IVF procedures successfully in the past. You can only manifest the best for yourself and build a happy family for yourself through IVF.
