How IVF Treatment Works
IVF is often recommended for those who have not had success with other treatments or for those with specific fertility challenges such as blocked fallopian tubes, male infertility, or age-related factors.
Here’s how IVF treatment in LA Jolla works:
- Ovarian Stimulation: The first step in IVF is to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs. This is done using fertility medications, and the response is monitored with regular ultrasound and blood tests.Â
- Egg Retrieval: Once the eggs are ready, they are carefully retrieved from the ovaries using a minimally invasive procedure under sedation. This step typically takes about 20 minutes.Â
- Fertilization: The retrieved eggs are combined with sperm in the laboratory to allow fertilization. In some cases, ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection) may be used if there are concerns about sperm quality.Â
- Embryo Culture: The fertilized embryos are monitored as they grow in the lab. Our embryologists select the best quality embryos for transfer.Â
- Embryo Transfer: The final step is the transfer of one or more embryos into the uterus. This is a simple, outpatient procedure that doesn’t require anesthesia.Â
- Pregnancy Test: About 10-14 days after the transfer, a blood test is performed to determine if pregnancy has occurred. If successful, we will continue to monitor your pregnancy closely with ultrasounds and other tests.Â
Frequently Asked Questions
Proper preparation for IVF treatment is essential to increase the likelihood of success. This includes:Â
- Health assessment: Undergoing a full medical evaluation to assess fertility health and identify any underlying conditions.Â
- Lifestyle adjustments: Maintaining a healthy diet, avoiding alcohol and tobacco, and reducing stress can help optimize your fertility.Â
- Understanding the process: Familiarizing yourself with the IVF process and potential side effects.Â
The best time to start fertility treatment varies depending on the individual. Generally, it’s recommended to seek help if:Â
- You’ve been trying to conceive for over a year without success (6 months if over 35).Â
- You have irregular periods, severe menstrual pain, or any other signs of infertility.Â
- You or your partner have known fertility issues.Â
Moderate exercise can be beneficial during IVF treatment to maintain your overall health and reduce stress. However, vigorous exercise or activities that may cause injury, such as contact sports, should be avoided. After egg retrieval, you may need to rest for a few days. We will provide personalized recommendations on exercise during treatment.
The medications used in IVF to stimulate the ovaries and prepare the uterus can have some side effects, which may include:Â
- Bloating and discomfort due to ovarian stimulation.Â
- Mood swings due to hormonal changes.Â
- Headaches or fatigue from medication.Â
- Bruising or soreness at injection sites. Â
These side effects are generally temporary and subside after treatment.
Yes, IVF can help address male infertility in cases where sperm quality or quantity is a factor. Techniques such as intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) can be used to inject a single sperm directly into an egg, improving fertilization success when sperm count, or motility is low. Our team will create a customized treatment plan that suits your unique needs.Â
