What is in vitro fertilization (IVF)?
Literally it means "fertilization in glass". IVF treatment is comprised of several basic steps: the woman is given fertility drugs that stimulate her ovaries to produce a number of mature eggs; at the proper time, the eggs are retrieved by suction through a needle that has been inserted into her ovaries; the eggs are fertilized in a Petri dish in the laboratory with her partner's or donor sperm; and subsequently the embryos are transferred into the uterus.
Our IVF Tour has been developed to help you understand the basic process of moving through a full "cycle" of IVF treatment from pre-cycle preparation to pregnancy testing and beyond. If a question or concern is not answered during the tour please do not hesitate to contact our IVF treatment centter staff.
Enjoy the IVF tour!
