Imagine this thought, there are two soul mates, they are happily married and trying to have children but can't. Yes, these people might adopt, but the feeling might not be the same. Well for many people this is the struggle that accompanies their life. Although people don't seem to recognize this as a big problem, according to Bradley Voorhis, an IVF specialist, about "10% of couples have difficulty conceiving a baby." To compensate for the feeling of being a biological child, there is a process called in vitro fertilization. In vitro fertilization, or in vitro fertilization, is defined as the union of a woman's embryo(s) and the man's sperm outside the body. IVF involves two main types of embryo transfers, elective single embryo transfer (eSET) and double embryo transfer (DET). ESET is defined as an embryo transfer where there is more than one high-quality embryo but a decision has been made to transfer only one embryo. The other, DET, is defined as an embryo transfer in which two (sometimes more) high-quality embryos, chosen from a larger number of embryos, are transferred. Of the two ethical types of embryo transfer in America, eSET is the one preferred by IVF specialists and patients due to the lower risk of multiple pregnancies, a higher rate of successful births, and fewer possible illnesses. In vitro fertilization or otherwise commonly known as IVF, is, as defined by Dr. Fauque, a fertility procedure in which IVF doctors remove eggs from a female's ovaries, fertilize them in a laboratory, and then exchange them again the embryos into the female's uterus where they implant and develop. IVF is a means to help couples who are unable to conceive their children and have tried... middle of paper... the preferred procedure. Through a study it has been shown that ESET has a 0% chance of multiple birth while DET has a 21.0% chance. Diseases and disorders are also more likely to occur, cerebral palsy is 5 times more likely to occur with DET than with eSET. Finally, the price of eSET is significantly lower than the price of DET over time. If you, as a reader, are unable to conceive your child, it is your duty to call your local infertility clinic or IVF specialist and ask the employees and doctors the necessary questions to perform this eSET procedure. Not only call your local infertility clinic, but, if you can, call the Colorado Center for Reproductive Medicine. This clinic uses only eSET and performs approximately 1000 transfers per year, it is considered number one in the United States.
