What Is In Vitro Fertilization?
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is one of the most common and effective techniques available for improving your chances for a pregnancy. It involves fertilizing an egg outside the body, in a laboratory dish, and then implanting it in a woman's uterus.
In order for successful in vitro fertilization (IVF) to occur, your participation and that of your physician (reproductive endocrinologist), nurses and embryologists require close coordination. Precise timing of medications is critical, and close monitoring with ultrasound is required. This reproductive journey is detailed and involved, but we are here to guide you and help ease as many of the complexities that may occur along the way. Please feel free to ask our nurses and physicians any questions you may have.
