In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is a process where egg is fertilized outside the body in a laboratory. IVF involves hormonal stimulation of the ovaries to develop multiple eggs, retrieval of eggs and sperm, fertilization of the eggs in vitro, and embryo transfer into the uterus. IVF can help couples with infertility issues like blocked or damaged fallopian tubes, low sperm count or motility, endometriosis, or ovulation disorders. The first successful IVF birth was in 1978 and has since helped many couples struggling with infertility problems have children.
