The IVF is a medical field called assisted reproduction. This method is very complex and demands special conditions such as a specific laboratory and equipment and a well trained team consisting of a gynaecologist, an embryologist, a micro-biologist and a medical nurse. Because of these requirements this method is very expensive.

It is reserved for those cases where none of the well known procedures has been successful and also where there is:

• Permanently damaged or surgically removed ovaries
• Reduced fertility in male
• Infertility of an unknown cause lasting for at least 5 years
• Other methods of treatment have been without any results
• Unsuccessful artificial insemination
• Immune disorders

Preparation of patients:

• Consultative examination of partners before placing them on the programme
• Gynaecological examination
• Investigation of the semen or the existing results
• X-rays of the uterus and ovaries
• Colposcopy and PA
• Microbiological examination of the genital organs of both partners

The age, as well as the environment, has a significant influence on the rate of fertilisation and the development of pregnancy. The optimal age is up to the age of 35. With the advancement of one’s age, the chances of fertilisation are reduced and after the age of 40 they are minimal.

• Unsuccessful stimulation is also caused by the weak ovarian response to applied hormonal therapy
• There is a possibility of a premature maturing of the egg cell
• Existence of an ‘empty egg cell’ which means that there is no egg cell in the egg membrane
• Inability of sperm to penetrate the egg cell
• Mucous membrane of the uterus is insufficiently and inadequately prepared for embryo attachment
