IVF involves retrieving eggs from the ovaries, fertilizing them with sperm in a laboratory, and transferring one or two resulting embryos back into the uterus. It is the most established and widely-used assisted reproductive technology globally.
A standard cycle takes 4-6 weeks from the start of ovarian stimulation to pregnancy test, though full treatment including consultations and follow-up may span several months. Patients typically require 1-3 cycles to achieve a successful pregnancy.
