What is IVF?

IVF, or in vitro fertilization, is a form of infertility treatment in which the egg is fertilized by the sperm outside of the body. Once an embryo is formed, it's placed in the uterus in hopes of creating a baby.

Many confuse IVF with artificial insemination, a procedure in which the sperm is placed directly in the uterus.
