In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)<\/h1>\n
In vitro Fertilization (IVF) is part of the assisted reproductive methods. It has been carried out for 40 years all over the world. The first child, born with this method was Louise Brown<\/a>. She was born in 1978. In Greece, the first IVF procedure took place on 20 January 1982. Stella Iordanidou, who was entitled to the first IVF procedure, Gave birth to Christina Iordanidou<\/strong> with c-section. This birth was the 13th with the IVF procedure worldwide.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>![\"What](\"https:\/\/www.gyn-care.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/ivf-gyn-care-1.jpg\" "\\"ivf-gyn-care\\"")

<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>What does IVF mean?<\/h6><\/div>We call this procedure IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) because it is based on the fertilization of the woman\u2019s eggs by the man\u2019s spermatozoon in the laboratory and not in the woman\u2019s body.<\/p>\n<\/div>
Why do I need IVF?<\/h5><\/div>When does a couple ends up choosing this method? How does the doctor decide to suggest this procedure? A lot of women wonder: \u201cwhen do I follow an IVF procedure?\u201d<\/p>\n
The In Vitro Fertilization is not the first option of any couple. In addition, it is not the first option of the specialists either.<\/p>\n
If a woman hasn\u2019t conceived after a year of intercourse without protections, we start investigating infertility matters. After a woman turns 35 years old, this time period decreases to 6 months. This happens because a woman\u2019s fertility is diminished year by year. According to the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE)<\/a> 1 out of 6 couples worldwide face infertility matters.<\/p>\nOur gynecologist<\/a> specialized in IVF, after having analyzed the specialized examinations, analyzes the reasons of the couple\u2019s infertility. He also analyses the causes and the medical profile of both the man and the woman, so he can come to a conclusion.
