Who discovered IVF?

Let us tell you that IVF started in 1978. The world's first test tube baby, Louise Brown, was born on 25 July 1978 in England. The credit for making this technology successful goes to scientists Robert Edwards and Dr. Patrick Steptoe. Robert Edwards was also awarded the Nobel Prize in 2010 for this work.

What is IVF?

IVF is a process in which a woman's egg and a man's sperm are mixed in a lab outside the body. When the egg forms an embryo, it is transferred to the woman's uterus so that it can develop normally.

Who needs IVF?

IVF treatment is for those couples who have been trying to become parents for a long time but have not been successful. IVF is especially needed for women whose fallopian tubes are blocked, men whose sperm count is low or the quality is not good, and conditions like endometriosis also require IVF. At the same time, it is resorted to when the woman's fertility decreases due to old age. Apart from this, this method can also be useful in case of repeated miscarriage.

How many times can an IVF procedure be done?
Everyone's condition is different. Sometimes success is achieved in the first attempt itself, and in many cases, IVF has to be done two to three times. The woman's age, health, and the quality of the embryo play a big role in this.

Is IVF safe or not?
Let us tell you that IVF is a safe process, but it requires some preparation mentally, physically, and financially. It is considered a tiring process, but with the right care and doctor's advice, it can give good success.
