Definition:
What is In Vitro Fertilization ?
In Vitro Fertilization in Egypt, commonly know as IVF, is a fertility
treatment to help couples who are having difficulties to conceive babies.
This medical
procedure is currently considered the most effective fertility treatment for most patients. The
In Vitro Fertilization procedure combines different medical techniques and takes place over a
period of several weeks or even months. The doctors will basically extract eggs, from the
woman's ovaries, and then fertilize them with the man's sperm in a Petri dish. The embryos will
then be preserved in the laboratory for 3 to 5 days before they can be transferred into the
woman's uterus to continue their natural course of development like in any standard pregnancy.

how is a beard transplant performed?
A beard transplant is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that is similar to a hair transplant. It is usually performed under local anesthesia. There are different techniques that can be performed depending on the needs of each patient.
Follicular
Unit Extraction : FUE
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is the most common procedure for beard transplant so
far. It doesn’t cause a major discomfort for the patient and has a relatively short recovery time while
providing satisfying results.
To start the beard transplant, hair follicles are removed separately from the
back of the head, which is the area that presents the thickest hair. After that, the doctor will place the hair
follicles, one by one, in the areas where there is no hair in the face or little hair, such as the beard and the
mustache.

Procedure:
how is In Vitro Fertilization performed ?
To increase the chances of a successful In Vitro Fertilization, the doctor will
usually start by preparing the patient for the procedure first. He will prescribe specific medication to
stimulate the ovaries to improve the quality of the eggs and increase their numbers.
Once that result is
achieved, he will then start the first actual step of the IVF, which is the retrieval of the eggs. This
procedure is done under local anesthesia to prevent any discomfort for the woman and takes about 15 min. The
doctor will extract the eggs from the woman's ovaries using very precise instruments. A thin needle will be
inserted in the uterus's wall, to collect a liquid that contains the eggs. In a separate room, the sperms
will be collected from the man in a different container. In the laboratory, a specialist will separate the
eggs from the rest of the fluids to prepare them for Fertilization.
The eggs and the sperm will then be
joined together in a petri dish in the laboratory. The Fertilization process can be done naturally or can be
medically induced.
The embryo will start developing in the laboratory for 3 to 5 days.
Once the embryo
has reached a blastocyst stage, the doctor can perform the last step of the IVF procedure, which is the
embryo transfer. The embryos will be inserted into the woman’s uterus to continue their
development.
During the next couple of weeks, the patient might take some hormones and medications to
help the uterine lining become thicker which would increase the chances of success of the IVF treatment.
Recovery: What should the
patient expect after an In Vitro
Fertilization procedure?
After the procedure, you can resume daily activities, but you should avoid making any physical effort because that would cause a feeling of discomfort. If you develop any kind of pain, call your doctor to make sure there are no complications.
Results: what are the results of In Vitro Fertilization?
After 12 to 14 days, you can check the results of your In Vitro
Fertilization. You will do a blood test to check whether you are pregnant or not. If you are, that will
mean that the IVF procedure was a success. In that case, you need to continue the follow up with a
gynecologist for the next 9 months of your pregnancy.
If the results of the blood test came back
negative, you will stop taking hormones and you will get your period shortly after that. You can try In
Vitro Fertilization again after a certain time that will be determined by your doctor.
Price in Egypt: how much does it cost to get an In Vitro Fertilization?
In Vitro Fertilization treatments contain several steps, that’s why they are relatively expensive, especially in European countries. The prices are usually between $10,000 and $12,000. However, you can get IVF at a much lower price in other countries such as Egypt, for less than $4,000. You will be treated by high level doctors in prestigious hospitals and receive quality health care.
