Basic Overview: IVF is a method of assisted reproduction in which a man's sperm and a woman's egg are combined outside of the body in a laboratory dish. Then, one or more fertilized egg(s) can be implanted back into the woman's uterine lining and allow it to develop. Excess embryos may be cryopreserved (frozen) for future use. Ultimately, the couples decide if they wish to use this procress of freezing. Today, IVF is used to treat many different cases of infertility. The basic steps to IVF include ovarian stimulation, egg retrieval, fertilization, embryo culture, and embryo transfer.
About the Authors:
Jacob Perovski:
Currently attends Dakota Highschool as a Medical Academy Student. I have done excessive research on the Pros of In-Vitro-Fertilization. I have completed that page of this website with a tremendous amount of knowledge on the topic. In the future, I plan to attend a medical/science based school and, later on, advance to Medical school. I desire to pursue a career that involves the brain. However, I am still undecided on the type of career in that field. Eventually, I would love to work in a hospital and assist people in the care they require. Another dream of mine would be to open up my own practice so I can use and teach my unique techniques and methods that i pick up along the way.
