DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TEST TUBE BABY AND IN-VITRO FERTILIZATION (IVF)

Are you confused about the difference between “Test Tube Baby” and “In-vitro Fertilization” (IVF)? Actually, there is no difference between the two terms. “Test Tube Baby” is a non-medical term that was commonly used in the past, but today it is medically referred to as IVF.

The term ‘test tube baby‘ was generally used because the embryo was formed outside of the body (in vitro) in a fertility laboratory, rather than inside the woman’s fallopian tube (in vivo).

The term “test tube baby” is usually used by laypeople due to a lack of knowledge about its scientific term. However, as technology has modernized, the common term is gradually diminishing, and the term “in vitro fertilization” is used today.

To clear up your confusion, please read and understand the elaborated definition, terms, and processes of IVF, also known as the earlier layman term “test-tube baby,” as mentioned below.

What is IVF in Fertility?

IVF is In-vitro Fertilization, in which a female egg is mixed with male sperm outside the body (in a petri dish in a fertility lab), and gets fertilized and transferred to the woman’s uterus to get pregnant.

The process of In-vitro Fertilization (IVF) is one of the most commonly used forms of assisted reproductive technology by intended parents, couples, LGBT partners, and individuals who are biologically infertile or face medical or health issues in conceiving a child. This technology helps these patients to get pregnant and conceive a baby with their own linked genes, fulfilling their dreams of parenthood.

IVF step-wise techniques and process:

Controlled Ovarian Hyperstimulation (COH): The initial cycle of IVF begins with ovarian stimulation. In this cycle, multiple protocols are utilized that include no stimulation to various levels of ovarian stimulation using Clomiphene citrate, letrozole, and exogenous gonadotropins, such as Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). One of the most commonly used protocols is gonadotropin-releasing Hormone (GnRH), where the secretion of gonadotropins is suppressed to prevent premature ovulation. After optimal suppression is achieved, multiple follicles are recruited by regular injections of gonadotropins. Follicular development is monitored using ultrasound imaging and hormone assessments. Once the lead follicles reach their required appropriate size, the final maturation of the egg is done by administration of HCG. The egg is retrieved 34-36 hours after HCG injection.

Oocyte/Egg retrieval:

Mature eggs are retrieved 34-36 hours after HCG administration. The procedure is performed in a surgical suite under ultrasound-guided transvaginal aspiration and intravenous sedation. The ovarian follicles are visualized using a vaginal ultrasound probe (Transvaginal ultrasonography). Embryologists scan the follicular fluids to locate all available mature eggs. The eggs are then placed in special media and cultured in an incubator until insemination with sperm.

Insemination :

If the sperm is normal, this transfer of sperm is called standard insemination, where 50,000 to 100,000 motile sperm are transferred to the culture dish containing the eggs.
