In Vitro Fertilization

What is in vitro fertilization?

In vitro fertilization (IVF) is an assisted reproductive technique in which eggs are fertilized with sperm in a laboratory. One or more resulting embryos may then be transferred to the uterus to attempt pregnancy.

How is IVF performed?

The process generally includes ovarian stimulation, egg retrieval, sperm collection and preparation, fertilization in the laboratory, embryo culture, and embryo transfer. The treatment protocol is adapted to each patient or couple.

When may IVF be recommended?

IVF may be considered for different causes of infertility, fallopian tube problems, certain male fertility factors, endometriosis, or when other fertility treatments have not resulted in pregnancy. The appropriate option depends on an individual fertility evaluation.
