Who needs IVF- In Vitro Fertilization

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) can instill hope in parents struggling with fertility issues and help them conceive children.

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is an effective assisted reproductive technological procedure in which an egg is retrieved and fertilized with a sperm in a lab. In IVF, the mature eggs are retrieved from the ovaries and fertilized by intracytoplasmic sperm injection. The embryo is inserted back into the uterus and implants into the uterine wall leading to pregnancy.
