What is IVF?

IVF – In Vitro Fertilisation – is the process of bringing eggs and sperm together in a carefully controlled environment to generate high-quality embryos.

In natural conception, the sperm and egg meet in the fallopian tube and begin the process of fertilisation. Physical, endocrine, and immune problems can prevent fertilisation from happening this way. Using IVF to introduce the sperm to the eggs in a carefully controlled environment can overcome these problems to create an embryo.
