An informal expression for babies conceived as the result of IVF, is test tube babies, and that refers to the tube-like containers of glass or plastic called test tubes, that are frequently used in chemistry labs and biology labs. On the other hand, In vitro fertilization is usually performed in the shallower containers called Petri dishes. (Petri-dishes may also be made of plastic.) However, the IVF method is actually carried out on organic material, but is yet called in vitro. This is used when parents are having infertility problems or they want to have multiple births.
Here are a few things to know about In vitro fertilization Complications
The main complication of IVF is the danger of multiple births. This is directly associated to the practice of transferring multiple embryos at embryo transfer. Multiple births are related to bigger risk of pregnancy loss, obstetrical complications, and neonatal morbidity with the possibility for extensive damage. Limits on the quantity of embryos that may be transferred have been passed in some countries to decrease the risk of high-order multiples (triplets or more), but are not commonly used. Splitting of embryos at the same time in the womb after transfer can take place, but this is uncommon and would cause identical twins.
An additional risk of ovarian stimulation is the growth of ovarian hyper stimulation syndrome. If the infertility is connected to abnormalities in spermatogenesis, it is likely, but too early to examine that male child is at higher risk for sperm abnormalities.
There are many variations like PGD (preimplantation genetic diagnosis), ICSI (intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection), ZIFT (zygote infrafallopian transfer) and GIFT (Gamete intra fallopian transfer).
One should always consult a good doctor and if possible take two or three more opinions. This is a procedure from which one can benefit infinitely but the only thing to remember is to use it cautiously knowing the limitations of one’s body and consequences of the decision. If possible one can also go to a shrink to take a different opinion.
