Everything You Need To Know About In Vitro Fertilization

Fertility Treatment Options

Before deciding on whether IVF is the best option for you, it is important to get yourself and your partner assessed. It may be a matter of making simple lifestyle changes, or if a medical exam determines more serious issues such as polycystic ovarian syndrome, then it would be important to address treatment right away. There is also the option of trying fertility drugs before undergoing the full IVF process. Fertility medications such as clomiphene and gonadotropin can stimulate egg production and can be prescribed to women who might be having irregular periods.

Laparoscopy and laparotomy surgeries can be performed to remove scar tissue or other abnormalities if they may be impeding the ability to get pregnant. If the above options have been exhausted, then doctors may recommend IVF. If there are health issues for the female or male partner, then a donor egg, sperm donor or surrogate pregnancy can be an option. Just ensure that whatever choices are being considered, they are all done under the care of an experienced team of fertility specialists and doctors.
