World IVF Day: Separating Fact from Fiction in In-Vitro Fertilisation

On World IVF Day, celebrated on July 25, IVF or in-vitro fertilization is highlighted as a groundbreaking fertility treatment that has brought hope and joy to millions of couples facing infertility challenges globally.

Dr. Gurpreet Kaur Nagi, a senior embryologist, explains that IVF involves collecting eggs from a woman's ovaries and fertilizing them with sperm in a laboratory dish to create embryos. The carefully selected embryos are then reinserted into the woman's uterus to develop into a fetus. Dr. Nagi emphasizes that IVF can be a viable option for couples with various fertility issues, and she addresses common misconceptions surrounding the procedure, including its safety, pain level, and timeline. IVF is considered a well-established and safe medical procedure that offers hope and an opportunity for parenthood to those struggling with fertility challenges.
