GlossaryIn Vitro Fertilization (IVF)

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.
