In vitro fertilisation or IVF is a series of
fertility treatment procedures to help
infertile couples conceive and give birth to a

experts stimulate a female s ovaries for egg
production, retrieve eggs, fertilise the egg with
the extracted sperm from a male s semen and
transfer embryo into the female s uterus.

some cases, it can last for more than four
weeks. The process take more time when a female
faces a miscarriage. In vitro fertilisation is
an effective form of ART ( assisted reproductive
technology). Doctors carry out it with the use
of a couple s eggs and sperm. Or they suggest
opting for an egg or sperm donor program if they
find that the egg/ sperm of a couple is not
healthy for conception.
