    GlossaryIn Vitro Fertilization (Infertility Treatments)

    process where egg fertilized by sperm outside the body

    In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is a medical procedure where an egg is fertilized by sperm outside the body, typically in a laboratory dish. This process involves stimulating a woman's ovulatory process, retrieving eggs from her ovaries, and allowing sperm to fertilize them in a controlled environment. The resulting embryo is then transferred to the woman's uterus with the aim of establishing a successful pregnancy.

      Stopping hair loss treatments like finasteride and minoxidil can result in losing regrown hair, highlighting the importance of consistent use. Restarting these treatments may cause temporary shedding, but hair can regrow with continued use.
