What is IVF?
IVF (In vitro fertilisation) is a process of fertilisation where an egg is combined with sperm outside the body, in vitro (“in glass”).
The process involves monitoring and stimulating a woman’s ovulatory process, removing an ovum or ova from the woman’s ovaries and letting sperm fertilise them in a liquid in a laboratory.
The fertilised egg is then cultured for 2–6 days in a growth medium, an embryo culture. It is then transferred to the same or another woman’s uterus, with the intention of establishing a successful pregnancy.
