What is in vitro fertilization? Literally, in vitro fertilization means ‘fertilization in glass’. IVF comprises several steps: the woman is given fertility drugs that stimulate her ovaries to produce a number of mature eggs; at the proper time, the eggs are retrieved through a needle that has been inserted into her ovaries; the eggs are fertilized in a Petri dish with the sperm; and subsequently the embryos are transferred into the uterus. At PFC our goal is to guide you through a successful cycle of in vitro fertilization, and assist with the emotional ups and downs which are an inevitable part of this process. We also provide you with a carefully compiled list of support resources which can be accessed from our website at www.InfertilityDoctor.com.
