In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF)
IVF, otherwise known as In Vitro Fertilisation, is a method of getting pregnant where an egg is fertilised by sperm outside of the body, in vitro (embryo laboratory). The resulting embryos can then be transferred to the woman's uterus with the intention of establishing a successful pregnancy. The process is undertaken by couples struggling to conceive, same-sex couples or single women wishing to have a baby through sperm donation.
