In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)
In Vitro Fertilization, commonly known as IVF, is a complex series of procedures used to help with fertility or prevent genetic problems and assist with the conception of a child. During IVF, mature eggs are retrieved from the ovaries and fertilized by sperm in a lab. The fertilized egg, or embryo, is then transferred to a uterus. One full cycle of IVF takes about two to three weeks. IVF is one of the most effective forms of assisted reproductive technology. The procedure can use a couple's own eggs and sperm, or it may involve eggs, sperm or embryos from a known or anonymous donor. In some cases, a gestational carrier — a woman who has an embryo implanted in her uterus — might be used.
The development of IVF has offered hope and options for countless individuals and couples facing infertility challenges globally. The field of reproductive medicine continues to advance, with ongoing research improving success rates and expanding access to these critical treatments. Discussions around IVF often include ethical considerations, accessibility, and the emotional and financial toll on those undergoing treatment.
