In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a medical procedure that helps couples conceive a child. It involves fertilizing an egg with sperm outside of the womb, then implanting the resulting embryo into the uterus. IVF can be used to treat a variety of fertility problems, including:
- Blocked fallopian tubes
- Male infertility
- Endometriosis
- Unexplained infertility
IVF is a complex process that requires multiple steps, but it can be a very successful way to achieve pregnancy. In 2023, the success rate for a single IVF cycle is about 35% for women under the age of 35.
