In Vitro Fertilization, or IVF is a kind of fertilization where the eggs combine with sperm for fertilization outside the body. This IVF procedure takes place in glass (in vitro). The process involves removing an ovum (egg or eggs) from the ovaries and letting the sperm fertilize them in a liquid. This process involves stimulating and monitoring in a laboratory. For the next 2-6 days, the fertilized eggs undergo embryo culture also. Later on, it is implantation that takes place in the same or another woman’s uterus. This process intends to establish a successful pregnancy. IVF is a process appropriate for gestational surrogacy and infertility treatment.

In the case of PCOS, IVF is resulting to be very successful as well.
- Endometriosis
Endometriosis causes the lining of the uterus to grow outside the uterus, resulting in a painful condition. The lining involves that of the ovaries, pelvis, and fallopian tube. In some cases, it also spread beyond the pelvis.
IVF is also a better choice for women with endometriosis scarring.
- Tubal factor infertility
Difficulty in pregnancy can also occur from scarred, damaged, missing, or even blocked Fallopian tubes. In the process of IVF, the implantation bypasses the Fallopian tube. Therefore, women with tubal factor infertility can opt for IVF. It therefore far better than surgical solutions.

Low sperm count, no sperm count, or even decreased motility of sperm are also some of the reasons for male factor infertility. Most of the infertility cases are due to this reason as well. IVF can help couples conceive with these factors also.
- Pregnancy on demand
LGBT couples or single women wish to have a baby as well. IVF is a good choice for them. They can become pregnant following their terms and timescale.
