In Vitro Fertilization or ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI)) is an assisted reproductive technology (ART) commonly known as IVF. IVF is the process of fertilization by simply yanking eggs, regaining a sperm sample, then manually mixing an egg and sperm in a lab dish. The embryo(s) is subsequently moved into the uterus.
IVF can be used to treat infertility in the patients with:
- Blocked or damaged fallopian tubes
- Male factor infertility including decreased sperm count or sperm motility
- Women with ovulation disorders, premature ovarian failure, uterine fibroids
- Women who have had their fallopian tubes removed
- Individuals with a genetic disorder
- Unexplained infertility
More serious symptoms, normally from OHSS, comprise the following:
- Nausea or vomiting
- Decreased urinary frequency
- Shortness of breath
- Faintness
- Severe stomach pains and bloating
- Ten-pound weight gain within three to five days
If you notice any of these signs above, contact your health care provider straight away.
