In-Vitro-Fertilization is one of the most common and widely known Assisted Reproductive Technology. In-Vitro Fertilization assists with fertilization, development and implantation and is one of the most common infertility treatments.
Initially in In-Vitro-Fertilization, mature eggs are collected from the ovaries and fertilized by cells in the lab. The formed embryo is then inserted into the uterus. In normal pregnancy an egg and cell fertilize inside the women’s body. If the egg fertilizes it gets attached to the lining of the uterus and grows into a baby.
In-Vitro Fertilization is an option when you or your partner are suffering from:
- Low Cell Count
- Endometriosis
- Problem in Fallopian Tube
- Poor Egg Quality
- Unexplained Fertility Problem
- Ovulation Problem
- Genetic Condition
The stimulation of ovaries is done through hormone therapy and a few drugs are prescribed to women to increase the production of eggs. This procedure is monitored by running a few blood tests and ultrasound of the ovaries to help you track the entire response.
Egg Retrieval
In this stage a minor surgical procedure is performed called “Follicular Aspiration” under mild sedation. In this process the eggs are retrieved with help of a hollow needle which is attached to the ultrasound probe. After retrieving the eggs, the woman is under medication that helps to form a lining within the womb for embryo transfer.
Insemination and Fertilization
Your partner is asked to collect the cell and is put together with the best quality eggs. Then the eggs and cell are incubated in the laboratory.
Embryo Culture
The retrieved eggs are fertilized by conventional insemination in culture containing dishes. The eggs are monitored regularly to confirm the fertilization.
Embryo Transfer
Embryos are transferred in the uterus 3-5 days after egg retrieval and fertilization. Transfer of embryos is done by inserting a thin tube called a catheter that is inserted into the uterus. The woman will become pregnant when the embryo implants itself into the uterine wall and this complete process can take 15 days. A blood test will help you determine whether you’re pregnant.
In-Vitro Fertilization involves the usage of fertility drugs that alter the hormone levels that help control a woman’s cycle. One of the most common side effects experienced by most women is fatigue during ivf treatment.
Fatigue during IVF treatment is the result of high levels of progesterone and when a woman conceives the levels of progesterone increases naturally. The extra progesterone in the body can create and sustain a healthy embryo lining. While undergoing IVF treatment, you will be given various fertility drugs and these drugs in return increase a few hormone levels that includes progesterone also. Progesterone will prepare your body for pregnancy. Unusual progesterone levels cause fatigue during IVF treatment.

Most Pronounced Fatigue During IVF Treatment
Embryo Transfer: Fertility drugs are given to IVF seekers before embryo transfer. These drugs help in increasing the progesterone levels which inturn thicken the uterine lining so that the embryo can be transferred easily
Ovarian Stimulation: In-Vitro Fertilization starts with ovarian stimulation. Patients are given fertility drugs to encourage the release of mature eggs. When a woman starts using fertility medication there will be a change in hormone levels that causes fatigue.
Early stage of Pregnancy: Women experience high levels of fatigue after a few weeks of embryo transfer.
