IVF, or In Vitro Fertilization, is a medical procedure used to help people with fertility issues have a baby. It involves several steps.

IVF (In Vitro Fertilization)

The woman is given hormones to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs.

Once the eggs are mature, a doctor removes them from the ovaries using a thin needle.

In a laboratory, the eggs are combined with sperm from the partner or a donor to create embryos.

3. Fertilization

The best-quality embryos are selected and transferred into the woman's uterus, where they can hopefully implant and develop into a pregnancy.

5. Embryo Transfer

IVF refers to the entire process of fertilizing eggs outside the body and transferring embryos into the uterus. It is a medical procedure performed in a controlled laboratory environment.
