In vitro fertilisation is a fertility process where the sperm fertilises the egg outside of the womb. Once they become embryos they are placed inside the woman's uterus. IVF can be very complex and emotionally draining for both the female and the male.
IVF is a very costly form of fertility treatment and the results are not guaranteed. It often takes many attempts for a successful pregnancy with each treatment costing thousands of dollars and it is rarely covered by your medical insurance.
This fertility treatment can be good for fertility problems such as low sperm count, ovulation problems, endometriosis or problems with the fallopian tubes. There are many factors that may be causing infertility so be sure to find out what yours is.
