The first ever baby who was created in the lab ( i.e. IVF ) is “Louise Brown” in
1978 by P. C. Steptoe and R. G. Edwards. IVF (In vitro fertilization) is a technological
process where several eggs are retrieved from a woman’s ovaries and then fertilized
by the husband’s sperm outside the body in a controlled environment of the laboratory.
The fertilized eggs then develop into embryos and these are returned to the woman’s
uterus, by a procedure called embryo transfer. Fallopian tubes are the host for
the union of egg and sperm to create an embryo. Blockage of the tube leads to loss
of fertility potential in spite having good eggs and a healthy uterine cavity.
Though the first procedure was carried out for blocked fallopian tubes, subsequently
it was found that other problems such as endometriosis, oligospermia also can be
effectively treated by this innovative treatment modality. Over the past 30 years,
In Vitro Fertilization has seen many changes that include continuous refinement
techniques, development of patient selection criteria, and patient preparation to
improve success rate
