A doctor fertilizing a woman's eggs
Many of us who are dealing with infertility or have dealt with infertility, after exploring all treatment optionswith no success, will find that invitro-fertilization will be our only solution to having children.
I myself, have explored this option and got only to the counselling section, but soon after, had to abandon the process because of how exorbitant the costs were. As a result of me not having much knowledge about IVF, my blog does not include any posts about the subject.
I was doing some research the other day for appropriate material to write about, and came across this article in Medical News Today, advising that it is recommended that 15 eggs be retrieved from a woman’s ovaries, in one cycle for the invitro=fertilization process, to ensure a greater success rate of a live birth resulting.
Anyone one finding this information of particular interest, can visit the link below for more on this subject.
From the article
“Fertility doctors should retrieve about 15 eggs from a female's ovaries in one cycle if they want her to have the best chance of giving birth to a child after assisted reproduction technoloqy, researchers at the University of Birmingham, England wrote in the journal Human Reproduction. The authors found there is a strong link between live birth rates and the number of eggs that need to be recovered in one cycle.
The live birth rate peaked when approximately 15 eggs were retrieved, and remained about the same at between 15 and 20 eggs, and then dropped.”
