What is IVF?

In vitro fertilisation (IVF) is currently the most common fertility treatment. IVF involves collecting a patient’s eggs and fertilising them with sperm in a laboratory to create embryos. The embryo is then transferred to a uterus to make a baby. Often several embryos will be created through fertilising the eggs and those not transferred can be frozen for patients to use in later treatment cycles.
