February 17th, 2009In Vitro Fertilization Overview
IVF is a procedure designed to by-pass the natural environment where conception occurs – the fallopian tubes. High dose hormonal medications are given to promote the growth of a large number of eggs. The eggs are then retrieved from the ovaries and fertilized in a laboratory. After sufficient egg division, the fertilized eggs or zygotes are then transferred into the uterine cavity through the cervical opening. If they implant successfully, then conception has occurred.
