IVF is done to help a woman become pregnant. Many women at time are unable to conceive depriving them of motherhood. This procedure is used to treat a variety of infertility issues, such as advanced age of the woman (advanced maternal age), defective or obstructed fallopian tubes (can be caused by pelvic inflammatory disease or prior reproductive surgery). IVF, also referred to as in vitro fertilisation, is a procedure used to help you get pregnant. In IVF, human eggs are fertilised in a lab using sperm and then implanted into uteruses. Pregnancy will happen if the fertilised egg (embryo) successfully implants in the uterus.
