What is a Test Tube Baby?
A "Test Tube Baby" refers to a child conceived through IVF, a process where an egg is fertilized by sperm outside the body, in a laboratory setting. The resulting embryo is then transferred to the uterus, leading to pregnancy. This technique has revolutionized fertility treatment since the birth of the first IVF baby, Louise Joy Brown, in 1978 .
🧬 Our IVF Process at God's Grace IVF Center
We follow a comprehensive, step-by-step approach to IVF, ensuring personalized care at every stage:
1. Initial Consultation and Assessment
Our fertility specialists conduct a thorough evaluation,
Medical history review
Hormonal profiling
Pelvic ultrasound
Semen analysis
This helps identify the underlying causes of infertility and tailor a treatment plan accordingly .
2. Ovarian Stimulation
We administer fertility medications to stimulate the ovaries, encouraging the production of multiple eggs. Regular monitoring ensures optimal response to the stimulation.
3. Egg Retrieval
Once the eggs mature, they are retrieved through a minor surgical procedure under sedation. This typically occurs 36 hours after a trigger injection.
4. Sperm Collection and Fertilization
On the same day as egg retrieval, a sperm sample is collected. The eggs and sperm are then combined in our laboratory to facilitate fertilization. In cases of male infertility, Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) may be employed.
5. Embryo Culture
Fertilized eggs develop into embryos over 3-5 days. Our embryologists monitor their growth, selecting the healthiest embryos for transfer.
6. Embryo Transfer
A selected embryo is gently transferred into the uterus. This is a painless procedure that doesn't require anesthesia. A pregnancy test follows after about two weeks.
