Infertlity and In Vitro Fertilization

In vitro fertilisation (IVF) is a sort of assisted reproductive technology (ART). Taking eggs from a woman's ovaries and fertilising them with sperm constitutes the procedure. Embryo is the name for this fertilised egg. The embryo may subsequently be implanted in a woman's uterus or placed in a freezer for later use. The quantity of eggs collected and the age of the mother both affect how many embryos are transferred. More eggs may be implanted based on age to increase the likelihood of implantation since the rate of implantation declines as women age. But the likelihood of getting pregnant with multiples rises with more eggs being transplanted. Be important to discuss how many embryos to implant with your doctor before the operation so that you both agree on the number.
