Pregnancy is always a matter of chance. A normal couple attempting pregnancy in their 20s has about a 25% chance of getting pregnant in any one month and couples in their 30s have about 15% per month. If pregnancy has not happened within a year or two then it’s likely that the monthly chance of pregnancy is less than 5% and tests are recommended.
IVF, or In-Vitro-Fertilization, is a medical process aimed at solving infertility disorders. The treatment involves three main stages: ovarian stimulation set to increase the number of eggs, egg retrieval and fertilization using sperm in a lab environment, and finally embryo transfer into the uterus which will hopefully result in pregnancy.
