In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a process by which egg cells are fertilised by sperm outside the body, 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.

How widespread is infertility? Is it usually a problem just of women?
An estimated one of every five American couples is infertile. But it is also a worldwide epidemic! For 40 percent of these couples, the inability to conceive stems from a problem with the man's sperm. In 20 percent of infertile couples, both the man and woman have reproductive difficulties, and in the remaining 40 percent the man is fully fertile but the woman is not.
