IVFmenetelmällä

IVFmenetelmällä, which translates to "by IVF method" in Finnish, refers to the process of conception through in vitro fertilization. This medical procedure involves fertilizing an egg with sperm outside the body, in a laboratory setting, and then transferring the resulting embryo or embryos into the uterus.

The IVF process typically begins with ovarian stimulation, where medications are used to encourage the ovaries to produce multiple eggs. These eggs are then retrieved through a minor surgical procedure. In parallel, sperm is collected from the male partner or a donor. The eggs and sperm are combined in a laboratory dish for fertilization. Once fertilization occurs and embryos begin to develop, one or more are selected for transfer into the woman's uterus.

The success rates of IVF can vary depending on several factors, including the age of the woman, the cause of infertility, and the specific protocols used by the fertility clinic. It is a complex and often emotionally charged journey for individuals and couples seeking to overcome infertility. IVFmenetelmällä highlights the specific application of this assisted reproductive technology.
