IVF
What Is IVF?
In vitro fertilization, or IVF, is a form of assisted reproductive technology (ART). During IVF, an egg is fertilized in the lab with a single sperm. The fertilized egg is given time to mature in the lab and the resulting embryo is then transferred to the uterus of the mother or surrogate.
Who Can Benefit from IVF?
In vitro fertilization is an assisted reproductive technology recommended to patients struggling with issues such as:
- Ovulation problems
- PCOS
- Endometriosis
- Male factor infertility
- Unexplained infertility
- Fallopian tube problems
- Recurrent miscarriage
- Failed fertility treatment

Before beginning IVF, there are several factors your doctors will consider to determine if it is the right infertility treatment for you. These include:
The older a patient is, the lower the chances of success. However, age will not necessarily preclude you from IVF treatment.
Patients under 35 who have been unsuccessful at conceiving after six to twelve months, or patients over 35 who have been unsuccessful after four to six months, may benefit from IVF.
A fertility evaluation is performed to determine the root cause of your infertility. This will help your doctor personalize your fertility treatment.
If you have been unsuccessful with other infertility solutions, such as IUI or medicated cycles, you may be a candidate for IVF.
Your fertility doctors will also discuss your medical history to determine if you are healthy enough to safely undergo IVF.

What Is the Success Rate of IVF?
Advancements in assisted reproductive technology mean more people than ever can achieve their dreams of a successful pregnancy. However, your chances of success depend on a number of factors, including your age, your health, the cause of infertility, previous pregnancies, and more. The CDC has developed a success rate estimator that can give you an idea of your chances of conception using IVF.

My wife and I had trouble getting and staying pregnant. We had been through two other doctors before a friend recommended Dr. Manara. Now, we are expecting twins—and we didn’t even have to go through IVF at this practice. The results speak for themselves.

- Before the procedure begins at our New Jersey fertility clinic, you will be given a mild sedative by our licensed nurse anesthetists (CRNAs), and your vitals are monitored throughout the procedure.
- Using intra-vaginal ultrasound to guide him, your doctor will pass a needle through the vaginal wall and into the ovary to complete the egg retrieval. Each of the follicles containing the eggs may be aspirated using gentle, carefully monitored suction.
- The entire egg removal procedure takes approximately 15 minutes. You will be monitored for about an hour as the medication wears off.
- You will then be discharged to rest at home. Most patients return to normal activities the following day. Using traditional methods or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), your eggs will be fertilized and monitored for growth.
In Vitro Fertilization Glossary
Fallopian Tubes
Fallopian tubes are the tubes that connect the ovaries to the uterus. The fallopian tubes allow the egg to travel from the ovaries to the uterus.
ICSI
ICSI is short for intracytoplasmic sperm injection, the process of directly injecting a healthy sperm into the egg.
Embryo
The embryonic stage is the first stage of development of a fertilized egg. A healthy embryo is transferred during the IVF cycle where, if successful, it will implant into the mother or surrogate's uterus.
Implantation
The process in which an embryo implants into the uterus during the earliest stages of pregnancy.
