IVF Guide – Everything You Want to Know About IVF

In Vitro Fertilization, or IVF, is a procedure in which a woman’s eggs are combined with a man’s sperm inside a laboratory dish. The eggs and sperm are placed inside a dish along with a special culture that allows the eggs and sperm to survive outside the woman’s body. The dish is kept in an incubator and monitored closely by laboratory personnel to watch for fertilization and cell division to occur. Once the eggs have developed into 2-8 cell embryos, the embryos can then be transferred back into the woman’s body. This process can take up to five days depending on the clinic you use.
