Everything You Need to Know About IVF

A couple must be considered infertile in order to receive IVF treatment, but what makes a couple infertile? If a woman is under 50 years old and has been trying to conceive for a year, then she is generally considered infertile.

It is rare for IVF to be a couple's first option for infertility treatment, as many cases can be treated without it. That being said, the following conditions often rely on IVF: blocked or damaged fallopian tubes, endometriosis, troubles with ovulation, and the sperms' inability to survive in cervical mucus.
