What is In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)?
In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is one of the most effective assisted reproductive technologies (ART) where mature eggs are retrieved from ovaries and fertilized by sperm in a specialized laboratory. The resulting embryos are grown and then transferred to the uterus.
Who May Benefit?
IVF is recommended for couples facing bilateral blocked fallopian tubes, severe endometriosis, PCOS, unexplained infertility, or advanced maternal age.
When is it Considered?
Typically considered after first-line treatments like ovulation induction or IUI have not resulted in a pregnancy, or directly as primary therapy.
