What is IVF?

In Vitro Fertilization, IVF for short, is the process where sperm are allowed to fertilize eggs inside a petri dish within a micro-culture environment in a laboratory.

The fertilized eggs are then grown for 2-6 days in an embryo incubator before they are ready to be transferred to the mother's uterus. This allows correction and bypassing of certain causes of infertility such as blocked fallopian tubes or severe endometriosis. Many IVF labs do not have the equipment to support the early embryo until the blastocyst stage that occurs on day 5, when it usually arrives in the uterus from the fallopian tube. The science of simulating the functions of the human fallopian tube inside of an incubator has been a work in process for more than 30 years.
