In Vitro Fertilization



In Vitro Fertilization: New Hope for Overcoming Infertility Infertility is defined as not being able to conceive a child despite trying for at least a year. 

According to the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, infertility affects 6.1 million American women and their partners, about 10 percent of the reproductive age population.

Though this issue concerns most women, it is a myth that infertility is always a woman's problem. 

Experts say that 80 percent of cases which was diagnosed with infertility are due to male problems. 

Infertility may be due to a single cause in either a woman or her partner, or a combination of factors that may prevent a pregnancy from continuing or occurring.

According to the NWHRC (National Women's Health Resource Center), most women in their late 30s are 30 percent less fertile than they were in their early 20s. About 20 percent of infertility cases are the result of fallopian tube disease. 

 It also added that between 30 and 40 percent of women with endometriosis are infertile.

In 85 to 90 percent of all cases, infertility is treated with either medication or surgery. 

However, recent improvements and innovations in medications such as microsurgery, and Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) such as In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), make pregnancy possible. 

Thank you for that, there are now more than 45, 000 babies that were born using IVF.
