In vitro fertilization is a highly complex assisted reproduction treatment. It consists of the union of the ovum with a sperm in the laboratory –in vitro–, in order to obtain good quality embryos that can, after transfer to the mother's uterus, give rise to a pregnancy.

To carry out this procedure it is necessary to hormonally stimulate the patient in a controlled way and obtain her eggs, which are then fertilized in vitro in the laboratory, where they are cultured for a few days. One of these embryos is transferred back to the uterine cavity and the rest are cryopreserved for future use.

In which cases is it indicated?

In vitro fertilization can be performed with donor or partner sperm and allows us to facilitate the fertilization process when there are other causes that make it difficult. This treatment is recommended for:

• Women after several unsuccessful artificial inseminations.
• Women with advanced endometriosis, with probable affection in the tubes and oocyte quality.
• Older women with poor quality eggs.
• Women with tubal injury or absence thereof.
• Women with hydrosalpinx.
• Couples in which a preimplantation genetic study is necessary.
• Couples in which the man has poor sperm quality (moderate or severe male factor).

The  IVF is a therapeutic method of assisted reproduction in which fertilization (the union of egg and sperm) occurs in a specialized laboratory, instead of taking place in the fallopian tubes.
