In vitro fertilization (IVF) is one of the assisted reproduction technology techniques. It allows couples to overcome fertility problems. Male and female infertility are among the major barriers for couples that want children. Depending on the definition of infertility, the number of infertile couples worldwide may vary from 48.5 million to 72.4 million (Mascarenhas et al. 9). Among other assisted reproduction technology techniques aimed at reaching pregnancy, IVF shows the highest effectiveness rate. According to Van Voorhis, in 2003 there were more than 100,000 IVF cycles in the USA, almost half of which were successful (379). Although the IVF procedure has some disadvantages, it is a major step in overcoming some fertility problems.…

Female infertility can be a result of multiple distinct factors. Of the many factors, three of the most common types of infertility in women are Endometriosis, Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and Ovulation Disorders. Endometriosis is a condition where segments of the uterine lining grow on the outside of the uterus resulting in inflammation, scarring, cysts and infertility.…
Endometriosis is a gynecological medical condition in which cells from the lining of the uterus (endometrium) appear and flourish outside the uterine cavity, most commonly on the membrane which lines the abdominal cavity. The uterine cavity is lined with endometrial cells, which are under the influence of female hormones. Endometrial-like cells in areas outside the uterus (endometriosis) are influenced by hormonal changes and respond in a way that is similar to the cells found inside the uterus. Symptoms often worsen with the menstrual cycle.…
• Because of its similarity to LH, hCG can also be used clinically to induce ovulation in the ovaries as well as testosterone production in the testes.…
The injection contains medroxyprogesterone, a progestin. This prevents pregnancy by preventing ovulation and thickening the mucus layer on the cervical lining. The patient will receive the injections every 3 months making it a more convenient procedure. However prolonged use can result in “temporary loss of bone density” (Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, 2012). Injectable birth control has the benefit of supposedly reducing chances of ectopic pregnancies (University of Michigan, 2014) which are fatal. The downside is constant use can result in irreversible loss of bone density (University of Michigan,…
