in Vitro Fertilization
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a medical procedure in which eggs and sperm are combined outside of the body in a laboratory dish to create embryos that can be transferred to a uterus for implantation and pregnancy. IVF is a successful treatment for infertility when other methods have failed. This procedure has helped many couples overcome infertility and start their families. IVF is a safe, reliable and effective means of achieving pregnancy. It has allowed couples to have children in cases when it would not have been possible without medical intervention. IVF has allowed for the possibility of parents selecting their embryo to enhance the chances of a successful pregnancy, as well as the screening of embryos for genetic defects. With advances in medical science, IVF is becoming more successful and efficient, allowing more and more couples to have children of their own.
