IVF conceiving: is it a safe method?

The IVF method is an effective tool for creating new life in the womb of the mother. The procedure involves a complex of manipulations and therapy, such as:

• Fertilization of the woman’s reproductive system is stimulated with the help of hormone-containing medications;
• follicular puncture is performed during ovulation to extract oocytes (egg cells);
• the sperm is attached to the egg, and a new life appears “in vitro”;
• the embryo moves into the uterus and pregnancy occurs.

The effectiveness of the method depends on the state of health of both woman and man. Before doing this procedure, it is worth studying some aspects of the protocol, assessing the pros and cons of IVF.
