What is IVF?
The initials IVF stand for in vitro fertilisation, with “in vitro” being Latin for “in glass” – a reference to the glass test tubes used in the laboratory. This is where the phrase ‘test tube baby’, often used in the media, stems from.
IVF treatment – in summary – involves administration of fertility drugs to stimulate your ovaries to produce a number of eggs and then, using a minor surgical procedure, we collect your eggs and place them in a culture dish (rather than a test tube) with prepared sperm, for fertilisation.
Who needs IVF?
IVF treatment may be appropriate in cases of male factor infertility or unexplained infertility, if you have blocked fallopian tubes, or have experienced a lack of success with other fertility treatments such as ovulation induction or IUI (Intrauterine Insemination).
