Many couples who are struggling with fertility have opted for in vitro fertilization to help them get children.
In Vitro Fertilization is a process where mature eggs are retrieved from ovaries and fertilized by sperm in a lab. One full cycle of IVF takes about three weeks. The process involves monitoring and stimulating a female’s ovulatory process, removing an ovum or ova from their ovaries and letting sperm fertilize them in a culture medium in a laboratory. Then the fertilized egg (embryo) or eggs (embryos) are transferred to the uterus.
