In Vitro Fertilization
In vitro fertilization (IVF) involves combining an egg and sperm within a laboratory setting to create an embryo. After a brief incubation period, the embryo is placed into the uterus, where it may implant and initiate a pregnancy. As a solution for infertility, IVF serves as a successful alternative for numerous individuals who struggle to conceive naturally.
