What is Test Tube Baby? What are facts about it?
If you are wondering what is test tube baby and IVF, whether both the terms are related, let us try to understand them in detail. Test tube baby is a term that refers to a child that is conceived outside the women’s body by a scientific process known as In-Vitro fertilization or IVF treatment. This entire process is done in a laboratory. In this process the eggs are taken from the mother’s ovary and fertilised by the sperms from the father as explained by Dr Rama Sofat.
The fertilised egg is cultured for 2–6 days and allowed to divided 2-4 times inside a test tube (hence the name test tube baby) These eggs are then returned back to the mother’s uterus where it can be developed normally, this is done with the intention to establish a successful pregnancy.
Dr Rama Sofat provides information that test tube baby procedure has greatly helped women having infertility problems that are untreatable to give birth to healthy babies.
The first Test tube baby
Louise Brown
The test tube baby procedure was made possible by scientist Robert Edwards and gynecologist Patrick Steptoe in 1978 when the first test tube baby, Louise Brown was born in England.
What is IVF (In-Vitro Fertilisation) ?
In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is the process of fertilising an egg outside the woman's body. The ovum or the ova eggs of a woman are removed during the menstrual cycle, then placed in a dish with the sperm of a donor. The sperm fertilises the eggs naturally in fluids, which is placed into the womb of the woman for continuing the pregnancy.
When is IVF required?
IVF requires following cases, but it is not considered to be the last hope
1) Problem with sperm: When male partner sperm is not in adequate quantity then IVF is required with ICSI, and IVF procedure is helpful to them, who need their sperm to be penetrated in the egg for fertilization
2) Problem with ovulation: For releasing the healthy eggs IVF is required, when ovary is not working properly
3) Problems with Fallopian tube: through uterus, egg travels in the fallopian tube, in some cases if the fallopian tubes gets blocked due to any disease, then the only option left with the couple is IVF
4) Uterine problems: ART can be used to overcome uterine problems, and problems related to conceiving
5) Cervix problem: Sexual intercourse can be affected if the cervix response abnormally. In this case IUI (Intra-uterine Insemination) or IVF is required for a mother to get pregnant
6) Genetic Testing: suppose a partner is suffering from certain disease, and if they have fear that the disease can be passed to the new born baby, then IVF technique is needed
