'Which IVF method is right for me?' is a question every couple considering IVF treatment must consider carefully.
The best way to determine which IVF method will work best for you is by consulting a fertility doctor. You may be a woman who is fertile, but cannot carry out a pregnancy to full term because of a surgical operation, or because of the shape of your uterus causes miscarriages. If a woman is infertile it is still possible for her to have a successful pregnancy using IVF and egg donation.
For many couples, male infertility requires treatment. Your husband may have azoospermia, a low level of sperm in his semen, which makes natural conception difficult. To help you conceive, IVF with sperm donation may be the most suitable assisted reproductive method.
IVF without a gamete donation, simply by extracting the female’s egg and the male’s sperm and fertilizing them outside of the womb (in vitro fertilization), would hopefully result in an embryo that would then be transplanted back into the same female’s uterus.
To increase the chance of IVF treatment being successful in the first cycle, IVF is often combined with ICSI. IVF with ICSI is often recommended for couples who have undergone an unsuccessful IVF cycle previously.
A fertility clinic can explain all the treatment options available for in vitro fertilization to help you make the best treatment choice for you and your partner.
