IVF Treatment

In-vitro fertilization (IVF) is a fertility treatment in which eggs are collected from the ovaries and fertilized with sperm in the laboratory. The resulting embryo is monitored and a suitable embryo may be transferred to the uterus.

IVF may be recommended for blocked fallopian tubes, severe male factor infertility, endometriosis, unexplained infertility, low ovarian reserve, advanced maternal age, failed IUI cycles, or when previous treatment has not resulted in pregnancy.

A typical IVF cycle includes consultation, ovarian stimulation, ultrasound monitoring, egg retrieval, fertilization in the laboratory, embryo culture, embryo transfer and pregnancy testing. Some embryos may be frozen for later use when suitable.

At Iswarya IVF & PGD, Colombo, Sri Lanka, IVF planning is individualised after reviewing test results, treatment history and the couple's goals.
