IVF stands for in vitro fertilization. In vitro fertilization (IVF) helps with
fertilization, embryo development, and implantation, so one can get pregnant. It
is a complex series of procedures used to help with fertility or prevent genetic
problems and assist with the conception of a child.
(2)
During IVF, mature eggs are collected (retrieved) from ovaries and fertilized by
sperm in a lab. Then the fertilized egg (embryo) or eggs (embryos) are
transferred to a uterus. This fertilized egg is known as an embryo. The embryo
can then be frozen for storage or transferred to a woman’s uterus. One full cycle
of IVF takes about three weeks. Sometimes these steps are split into different
parts and the process can take longer.
(3)
IVF is the most effective form of assisted reproductive technology. The
procedure can be done using your own eggs and your partner's sperm.
Or IVF may involve eggs, sperm or embryos from a known or anonymous donor.

The success rate of IVF varies. According to the American Pregnancy
Association, the live birth rate for women under age 35 undergoing IVF is 41 to
43 percent. This rate falls to 13 to 18 percent for women over the age of 40.
