In vitro fertilization is generally used in couples who have failed to conceive after at least one year of trying who also have one or more of the following fertility issues:

Blocked fallopian tubes or pelvic adhesions with distorted pelvic anatomy.

Severe male factor infertility (low sperm count or low motility).

Failed 2-4 cycles of ovarian stimulation with intrauterine insemination.

Advanced female age - over 38 years old.

Reduced ovarian reserve, which means having a low egg supply. A day 3 fsh, ovarian antral follicle counts and amh blood levels are often used as screening tests for egg quantity.

Severe endometriosis.
