IVF is a comprehensive and advanced fertility treatment where an egg is fertilized by sperm outside the body, in a lab. This process involves monitoring and stimulating a woman’s ovulatory process, removing an ovum or ova from the ovaries, and letting sperm fertilize them in a liquid in a laboratory. The fertilized egg (embryo) is then transferred to the woman’s uterus with the goal of establishing a successful pregnancy. IVF is particularly effective for couples facing severe infertility issues or genetic problems.
