IVF is a method of artificial fertilization by taking cell eggs to be fertilized by sperm in the laboratory. t cellThe fertilized egg is then implanted in the uterus, so that happen pregnancy. Currently, The chances of IVF success are getting higher, so this method is worth trying for couples who have difficulty getting offspring.
IVF or In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is the most effective method of artificial reproduction. This method is increasingly popular in Indonesia, as evidenced by the high number of IVF procedures that are carried out.
The success rate of IVF method is quite high
In 2016, there were more than 7000 IVF cycles in Indonesia. From 6092 new cycles (fresh), the success rate is 28% or 1701 cycles. This figure is obtained without taking into account the factors of age, infertility problems, and IVF procedures used.
While from 1551 freeze cycles (frozen), successful pregnancy reached 478 cycles or about 30%. The percentage obtained without involving the factors of age, infertility problems, and the thickness of the endometrium when transferred into the uterus.
From these data, it can be concluded that the chance of IVF success is 1:3. This opportunity increases when the age factor is taken into account. The younger the age, the higher the chance of getting pregnant through IVF. The chance of success in the age group under 35 years is 35.1%, compared to the age group above 42 years which is only 6.7%.
Chances of Getting Twins Through IVF
IVF method is also suitable for those of you who want twins. In the IVF process, some eggs will be taken to be fertilized by sperm. The goal is that at least one egg develops into an embryo.
If more than one embryo is found, all of them can be implanted into the uterus to increase the chances of multiple pregnancies. Eggs that are not transferred to the uterus can be stored by freezing.
When two or more embryos attach to the uterine wall, multiple pregnancies occur. However, don't expect the babies to be born to be identical twins. In IVF, the chances of non-identical twins are greater than identical twins.
In Indonesia, the average number of embryos implanted into the uterus is two, with the incidence of multiple pregnancies resulting from IVF reaching 12.92% in 2016. Through IVF, women under 35 years of age have a higher potential for conceiving twins than those over 35 years of age.

The IVF program is highly recommended for married couples who crave children, especially those who have the following conditions:
- Having reproductive problems so that natural pregnancy is difficult.
- Aged 35 years or older, not yet pregnant, despite having regular sex for six months without using contraception.
- Are in their early 20s or early 30s, have not become pregnant even though they have had regular sex for a year or more without using contraception.
If there are conditions above, it would not hurt you to consult a gynecologist further to consider the IVF program.
For the record, currently the cost of IVF is quite expensive. In addition, the IVF program has not been covered by BPJS Health or private insurance. The high cost of IVF is caused by the use of advanced technology and the regular consumption of drugs. This cost does not include the cost of drugs outside the program, multivitamin supplements for pregnancy, and routine control is also needed to support the success of IVF.
It should also be understood that IVF does not guarantee a successful pregnancy. The IVF cycle can be canceled if the ovaries do not respond to the drug, causing the egg to not develop. The percentage of canceled cycles was greater in the group of women over 35 years of age.
Although it seems promising, many couples have to undergo more than one cycle until they are finally declared successful in getting pregnant. This means that you and your partner must be prepared mentally and financially before undergoing the IVF program. However, the IVF method is still worth considering considering its high percentage of success. You can consult an obstetrician to get more information about the IVF program if you are interested in undergoing the program.
