In vitro fertilisation

IVF is a process of fertilization where an egg is combined with sperm in a laboratory. The process involves monitoring and stimulating a woman's ovulatory process, removing an ovum from her ovaries, and fertilising it with sperm in a culture medium. A fertilised egg undergoes embryo culture for 2-6 days before being transferred into the uterus. IVF is used to treat infertility, enable gestational surrogacy, and avoid the transmission of abnormal genetic conditions. The first child successfully born after IVF treatment was Louise Brown in 1978. Since then, IVF has become a widely used treatment option, with an estimated 12 million children born worldwide using the technique as of 2023.learn more on wikipedia
