Getting pregnant through In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)- the fertilization of eggs with sperms in lab conditions- is a route women take after exhausting all other normal methods.

IVF is thus mostly picked by older women with fertility issues like damaged or blocked fallopian tubes, those whose male partners have low sperm count and women suffering from endometriosis- a painful condition in which uterine tissue grow outside the womb.

But lately, Kenyan women who delay marriage to advance career and educational pursuits are becoming common in fertility clinics, a trend Dr Sikolia Wanyonyi, a gynaecologist, has noticed.
