IVF Basics: All you need to know

Hindustan Times  

World IVF Day is celebrated on July 25 each year to commemorate the birth of the first In Vitro Fertilization baby, Louise Joy Brown, in the United Kingdom. Many years earlier, tubes were used in IVF labs giving IVF babies the nickname ‘test tube baby’. The embryos thus created are frozen and transferred into the womb of the woman in the next ovulation cycle, a process which is called Frozen Embryo Transfer. The preparation process for IVF includes a thorough examination of a couple, optimising body weight to reach the normal BMI of 18-24 by adopting a healthy lifestyle. This technique involves taking one or more cells from the developing embryo to check for a specific genetic defect in the parents and transferring only healthy embryos into the womb.
