What Is IVF Treatment and How Does It Work?
IVF, or In Vitro Fertilization, is an assisted reproductive technique in which an egg and sperm are fertilized outside the body in a specialized laboratory. The resulting embryo is then transferred into the uterus to achieve pregnancy
Doctors usually suggest IVF for couples facing female infertility, male infertility, or cases where the cause of infertility is unclear. It is also helpful when other treatments, like inducing ovulation or intrauterine insemination (IUI), have not worked
A standard IVF cycle includes ovarian stimulation, egg retrieval, fertilization, embryo development, and embryo transfer. The entire process, from starting medications to transferring the embryo, generally takes 10 to 15 days, followed by a pregnancy test two weeks later
