Checking on the new artifical method of pregnancy to occur between a couple requires both approval of the couple . Once this has been started, the attending doctor should  take  each day a check on the woman to monitor the hormones growth and its development.  

IVF is defined as an In Vitro Fertilization. This is another protocol in the medical practice. when a woman starts to produce eggs ready to mature and a progesterone  timing  in the process to retrieve the eggs from the body and getting ready for the fertilization.  Timing the retrieval is   the most concern of the doctor. when the egg signal its production then the patient is require to see the doctor on a daily basis. For a possible higher rate of prenancy,  a prescribed estrogen is given  to maintain  and prepare the endometium lining when the eggcell will be put back  after the embryo begins to grow.

The process of retieval of the mature egg cell is surgically done. It shall be kept in the laboratory in a few days until the growing embryo becomes stable and when about to  be implanted again in the uterus to let it grow naturally like the other natural prenancies.  However in the process several eggs are awaiting to get mature until it reaches the level of its maturity.

Cycle begin like a natural egg development, if retrieved from the woman's body , estrogen and progesterone level is maintained. Then an ultra sound is done often times to measure the growth in the uterus. It also measures the lining of the uterine and the ovarian follicles.  These folllicles are little socks which contain the eggs. 

A suppressive medications  compose of Lupron (leuprolide) and Antagon (genirelex acetate) and microdone lupron, that are injectables. They are injected into the fatty tissue just below the skin. These medicines are stimuli to make ovaries grow all the eggs that will soon be retrieve for his monitoring and eventually possible pregnancy.  But when the mature eggs are removed temporarily, the patient is given  supplemental estrogen and progesterone  to prepare the uterus for the implantation of an embryo.

The ivf success rates has now become higher , base on the number of pregnancies that came possible.  Couples having difficult times to make a family has an alternative like  a natural pregnancy.  The process make take time to assure the patient of its success.  The doctor will do as much as he can in the process to monitor mature egg cell for its fertilization timing procedure, the patient's cooperation and willingness to follow as directed by  her physician relies the success. 

This follows that it is kind a expensive ina row.  Many would like to go in the process but I think the cost of having it done is a fortune.  Others decided on  different ways of having a child, like adoption.  However having your own flesh and blood  are what other couple prefer to have, no matter how much it cost.
