Evaluation of IVF and normal pregnancy
In vitro fertilization treatment processes include egg development, collection of eggs that are mature enough and fertilization of eggs with sperm, embryo development from fertilized eggs and embryo transfer stages. The woman does not need to stay in the hospital during the treatment. During these processes, blood tests and ultrasounds are usually performed every other day during the development of the eggs, and since these processes are kept short, the daily lives of the individuals are not disrupted.
Egg collection and embryo transfer are also performed without hospitalization. Couples who decide to undergo this treatment have not been able to satisfy their longing for a baby despite having unprotected sexual intercourse for a year. In other words, they have not been able to get pregnant naturally. Those who get pregnant naturally and those who get pregnant through in vitro fertilization should be evaluated only according to the pregnancy process.
What are the differences between IVF and normal pregnancy?
In order for couples to have children normally and for women to get pregnant, there must be no problems with the reproductive capacity of the man and the woman. In other words, the woman's fallopian tubes must be open, her egg reserve must be sufficient, she must have a uterus where the egg can settle after being fertilized, and she must have regular menstrual periods. In addition, the man must have a live sperm sample, a sufficient sperm count, and the sperm sample must pass out of the body. When all of these conditions are together, the woman's pregnancy rate is quite high when the couple has unprotected sexual intercourse.
It is possible to get pregnant within six months with regular sexual intercourse . If pregnancy is not achieved within a year, the couple should be evaluated medically. After all the conditions are evaluated, if pregnancy cannot be achieved with other treatment methods, in vitro fertilization treatment is considered. When pregnancy is achieved with in vitro fertilization treatment at this stage, there will be no difference between it and a normal pregnancy. In one pregnancy, an embryo is created with a spontaneously fertilized egg, in the other, an embryo is created with medical assistance and pregnancy is achieved in this way. After this stage, there will be no difference in both in the continuation of the pregnancy.
Is there a difference between babies born as a result of IVF treatment and normal babies?
The drugs and procedures used during IVF are only performed to ensure that the egg is fertilized by the sperm, to shelter the embryo and to remain in the mother's womb until birth. Babies born through IVF are born through the same processes as babies born through normal pregnancies. Therefore, there is no difference between babies born through both methods.
What to consider when IVF treatment fails?
When pregnancy is not achieved as a result of the procedures applied in IVF treatment, couples should not be pessimistic. On the contrary, IVF treatment can be tried again by trying methods that will help IVF treatment. These methods can help couples get the baby they are longing for.
