IVF, also known as In Vitro Fertilization, is an assisted reproductive technology. It’s the process of fertilization where eggs are extracted, and sperm samples are retrieved; they are then combined in a laboratory dish. Once the embryo begins to form, they are then transferred to the uterus. Other forms of assisted reproductive technology include gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT) and zygote intrafallopian transfer (ZIFT). If you want to go through IVF, ensure that you select a reputed hospital.
