With in vitro fertilization, the number of eggs tranferred can depend on the woman's age. A younger woman will typically have about 3 to 4 eggs, while an older woman will have 5 or more because her body is less likely to accept the eggs.

Choosing In Vitro Fertilization?

In vitro fertilization offers the chance for women who are having a difficult time getting pregnant the chance to have their own baby. When dealing with infertility issues, it can be an emotional draining process. Generally there are several courses of treatment done before opting for in vitro fertilization because of the high cost of the process. Insurance may not pay for the entire cost, which may make it difficult for many women to afford.Dealing With InfertilityIf you have had a difficult time getting pregnant for more than six months, you should consider visiting a fertility specialist to identify why you may have a difficult time getting pregnant. Generally a series of tests will be done on both people in the relationship. This will allow the doctor to determine the best course of treatment. If you are having a difficult time ovulating regularly, the drug Clomid may be administered to help you ovulate. Other treatments may be done as well. Often these are successful and you will not need to do in vitro fertilization.Completing In Vitro FertilizationThe in vitro fertilization process takes time. First the doctor will harvest your eggs and then he will fertilize in a lab. After the eggs are fertilized he will insert the eggs in the hopes that they will implant. At each stage of the process you will determine how many eggs the doctor will use. Generally they will fertilize more eggs than they will insert, because you can freeze the remaining eggs and use them if you want to become pregnant again. There is an increased chance of multiple births with in vitro fertilization, so you will need to determine how many eggs you will insert, and consider the possibility of aborting one or more fetuses to insure that the majority of them will make it to full term.Paying for In Vitro FertilizationThe laws surrounding the insurance coverage of in vitro fertilization vary, and so you should check your insurance policy carefully to see if any portion of it may be covered. Once you become pregnant, your maternity insurance will pay for the prenatal care and delivery. You may need to save up money to pay for the in vitro fertilization.


Should frozen embryos created through in vitro fertilization be used to create stem cells?

Most scientists agree that frozen embryos created through in vitro fertilization should be used to create stem cells, although many people are against it because of their religious views.


Why do women who take fertility drugs often have multiple births?

This occurs more likely when in vitro fertilization occurs (IVF). The term means fertilization is preformed in vitro (glass),in a glass dish or glass test tube. More than one egg is used and all are implanted into the uterus. Sometimes all develop and sometimes only one. Also the drugs used make the ovaries produce many eggs.

What is in vitro development?

When you see the phrase "in vitro" it means 'in glass'. This is in contrast to "in vivo" which means 'in the living system'.Thus organic chemistry began when a German chemist made urea 'in vitro' - in the laboratory. Prior to this discovery, it was thought that chemicals/compounds found in living systems, like urea, could ONLY be made by living systems.In other usage, you may have seen "in vitro fertilization", which means that an egg was fertilized with sperm in a laboratory, rather than in the bodies of living organisms. An important example is the Panda. Apparently these bears have trouble getting pregnant and so many recent baby pandas are the result of "in vitro fertilization", and then implantation of the fertilized egg into the mother panda.P.S. Laboratory experiments do not always involve the use of glass now, so technicallysome "in vitro" work is really "in plastic".
