In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a type of assisted reproductive technology (ART) in which a woman's egg is fertilized with a man's sperm outside of the body. This process typically involves the following steps: <br><br>1. Ovulation induction: The woman is given medication to stimulate her ovaries to release multiple eggs.<br>2. Egg retrieval: The doctor extracts the eggs from the woman's ovaries using a hollow needle inserted through the vagina.<br>3. Fertilization: The retrieved eggs are mixed with the man's sperm in a laboratory dish.<br>4. Embryo culture: The fertilized eggs are then allowed to develop into embryos for 3-5 days.<br>5. Embryo transfer: One or more embryos are transferred into the woman's uterus through the vagina.<br>6. Pregnancy testing: To confirm pregnancy, the woman is tested for the presence of hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) in her urine or blood.<br><br>IVF is often used to help individuals with certain fertility issues, such as blocked fallopian tubes, low sperm count, or unexplained infertility, to conceive.
