What is IVF: In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a medical procedure that helps individuals and couples conceive a child when traditional methods fail. Following a two-week wait, pregnancy tests are frequently used to confirm IVF success. In IVF, a sperm and an egg are fertilized outside the body of the female. In this video, Dr. Sonu Balhara will share many useful insights about IVF, its procedure and several other facts related to fertility.
The process of IVF consists of several key steps. First, hormonal medications are used to stimulate the ovary, resulting in multiple eggs. Next, these eggs are extracted from the ovaries using a minor surgical procedure. The eggs are then fertilized with sperm in a laboratory to produce embryos. Once fertilized, the embryos are cultured for a few days before being transferred to the uterus.
