IVF
In Vitro Fertilisation
For all those couples who have been trying in vain to conceive for a year or more, science has brought hope in the form of in vitro fertilisation or IVF. A procedure first successfully attempted in 1978 in England, IVF has now become a boon for couples all over the world who have constantly been under the physical and mental trauma of infertility.
In vitro fertilisation (IVF) is a process by which egg cells are fertilised by sperm outside the womb, in vitro. IVF is a major treatment in infertility when other methods of assisted reproductive technology have failed. The process involves hormonally controlling the ovulatory process, removing ova (eggs) from the woman's ovaries and letting sperm fertilise them in a fluid medium. The fertilised egg (zygote) is then transferred to the patient's uterus with the intent to establish a successful pregnancy

What is IVF?
In vitro literally means ‘in glass’. The dictionary explains it as a process made to occur outside the biological body, in an artificial environment. Thus, in vitro fertilisation simply means the fertilisation process that occurs under lab conditions and not inside the mother’s womb.
