In Vitro Fertilization
In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is a medical procedure used to help individuals or couples conceive a child. It involves retrieving eggs from a woman's ovaries and fertilizing them with sperm in a laboratory dish. Once embryos form, one or more are implanted into the woman's uterus. IVF is often used when there are problems with natural conception, such as infertility or certain medical conditions. The procedure can involve multiple cycles, and success rates vary based on factors like age and specific health conditions. IVF has helped many people become parents when other methods have not worked.
