What is IVF?

In Vitro Fertilization (commonly referred to as IVF) is a process in which eggs are removed from a woman’s ovaries and are fertilized by sperm in a laboratory. If the egg fertilizes, it is called an embryo. Embryos are grown in the lab for three to five days, and then the healthiest looking embryos are either:

• Transferred into the woman’s uterus
• Transferred into a surrogate
• Frozen for later use

When embryos are placed into the uterus, they will hopefully implant in the uterine lining and further develop into a fetus – resulting in a successful pregnancy.

When to Consider IVF

IVF may be an option for you if:

• You have problems with ovulation due to conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome
• Your fallopian tubes are scarred or blocked
• You have endometriosis
• You have had several failed IUIs
