California InVitro Fertilization
In Vitro provides many people with the opportunity to attempt pregnancy in the face of one or more factors that may otherwise decrease their chances.
Over the last two decades IVF success rates have dramatically risen. With lab improvement and culture media changes, the rates have increased to over 50% in women under 37. The first in vitro fertilization or ‘test tube” baby was born in 1978 and in 1981 the delivery of the first IVF pregnancy in the United States was announced by Howard and Georgianna Seegar
In Vitro fertilization is a procedure in which the sperm and embryo are united in the lab. It was developed as a way of bypassing the fallopian tubes in order for a fertilized oocyte (egg) to gain access to the uterus.
The possibility of continuing pregnancy being achieved by IVF has improved from practically zero to one in 4 to 6 at IVF centers worldwide. However, the possibility of continuing pregnancy cannot be predicted for any one patient as it depends on many variables-age, reproductive health of both parents, etc.
At what point does a person become concerned with his/her inability to conceive or maintain a pregnancy? While most women’s first discussion regarding infertility happens in their OB/GYN’s office, many OB/GYNs may not specialize in fertility issues or are up to date on the latest in reproductive medicine. It is a good idea to begin research the services of fertility specialists, including California area specialists.
You can begin testing for issues that you may want to discuss with a California fertility clinic specialist. For example, if you’ve been trying for several months to conceive, you night want to consider fertility calendars.
Using a fertility calculator may help couples to decide whether or not it is time to seek the help of a fertility specialist.
