	Fertility treatment: In vitro fertilization (IVF) - BabyCenter
		IVF is far and away the most common of the high-tech fertility treatments, accounting for more than 99 percent of all assisted reproductive technology procedures.
		IVF can help you conceive if you have ovulation problems or blocked fallopian tubes, if your partner has a low sperm count, or if other methods of treatment have been unsuccessful.
		In just over 30 percent of IVF pregnancies, more than one embryo implants and women give birth to multiples.) You'll be able to take a pregnancy test about two weeks after your embryos are placed in your uterus.

	ART Fertility Treatment: IVF (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a procedure that involves retrieving eggs and sperm from the bodies of the male and female partners and placing them together in a laboratory dish to enhance the likelihood of fertilization.
		IVF should only be performed by physicians specializing in reproductive medicine with additional education and training in the evaluation and treatment of male and female infertility.
		IVF was originally developed in the early 1970s to treat infertility caused by blocked or damaged fallopian tubes.

	In vitro fertilisation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		IVF is a major treatment in infertility where other methods of achieving conception have failed.
		Initially the IVF was developed to overcome infertility due to problems of the fallopian tube, but it turned out that it was successful in most other infertility situations as well.
		IVF programmes generally publish their pregnancy rates, however comparisons between clinics are difficult as many variables determine outcome.

	Causes of male and female infertility at The Bridge Centre
		IVF is a technique involving the fertilisation of eggs by sperm outside the body.
		IVF was developed as a treatment for women who have blocked or badly damaged Fallopian tubes which prevent the egg and sperm from meeting.
		However, unlike conventional IVF a single sperm is picked up from a prepared sperm sample in a very fine glass needle and injected through the zona pellucida and the egg membrane directly into the centre of the egg.

	American Pregnancy Association: Infertility: In Vitro Fertilization
		IVF is the process of fertilization by manually combining an egg and sperm in a laboratory dish.
		When the IVF procedure is successful, the process is combined with a procedure known as embryo transfer, which is used to physically place the embryo in your uterus.
		IVF may be done with a couple’s own eggs and sperm or with donor eggs, sperm, or embryos.

	BBC NEWS \| Health \| Medical notes \| IVF
		IVF is only successful in 15% of cases and a recent report from the College of Health shows that success rates vary widely across the country.
		Opponents of IVF argue that it falsely raises would-be parents' hopes that they will be able to have a baby when the chances are not that high.
		Another possible drawback is the fact that IVF treatment increases the chance of having multiple births which the couple may not have planned for.

	IVF
		IVF is a major breakthrough that gives new hope to couples who otherwise could not produce genetically related children.
		IVF is considered a first line treatment in selected conditions such as severe tubal disease, moderate to severe male factor, ovarian failure (using donor eggs) and some cases of endometriosis.
		Some eggs are damaged in the IVF process and enough must survive to produce an adequate number of embryos.

	RRC
		There are several subjects related to IVF and assisted reproductive technology that should be of interest to this patient category.
		IVF was the first known assisted reproductive technology made available for couples experiencing infertility caused by absent, obstructed or damaged fallopian tubes.
		IVF requires ovarian stimulation, monitoring of egg maturation, egg retrieval, fertilization of the eggs within a laboratory setting, and embryo transfer to the uterine cavity.

	IVF (in vitro fertilization) embryo freezing, assisted reproductive technology for female infertility
		However, with IVF, you just leave the hospital directly from the operating room, with no pain, and come back three days later to have the embryo (or embryos) placed very simply into the uterus through the cervix with a tiny catheter.
		Whenever IVF or ICSI is performed, embryos may be cultured for either one day, two days, or even five days, before transferring them back into the woman.
		One theory to explain the perplexing phenomenon that most IVF embryos do not result in a pregnancy has been that this thinning of the zona and hatching of the embryo may be defective and some way impeded in embryos that have been cultured in vitro.

	IVF & Assisted Reproductive Technologies
		Originally, IVF was designed to treat women with blocked tubes, but its use has expanded to include the treatment of infertility resulting from of other conditions, such as endometriosis, male factor infertility and unexplained infertility.
		Before IVF is recommended, tests are performed to ensure that the ovaries are capable of producing eggs and that the male’s sperm can fertilize them.
		Until recently, eggs fertilized by IVF or ICSI were transferred to the uterus after two or three days, when the embryos were at the two-to-eight cell stage.

	Genetics & IVF Institute: IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) Program
		The Genetics and IVF Institute has pioneered important improvements in IVF technology, and was the first center in the U.S. to introduce non-surgical egg retrieval for IVF.
		IVF is of great value for patients with absence of both fallopian tubes or irreversible tubal blockage, infertility related to lowered sperm count, motility, or function (in association with ICSI), and many other causes of infertility, including endometriosis and unexplained infertility.
		Evaluation for IVF may be done in person or by telephone consultation with a Genetics and IVF Institute physician.

	IVF In vitro fertilization Chicago Illinois
		IVF involves taking eggs from the woman, fertilizing them in the laboratory with her partner's sperm and transferring the resulting embryos back to her uterus 2-6 (usually 3 or 5) days later.
		IVF takes multiple eggs and after careful culture for 3-5 days of those eggs that fertilize, we transfer one or more of the "prettiest" embryos back to the uterus.
		By tracking implantation rates the IVF program can have a sort of early warning system that triggers a careful and thorough investigation of their system in order to rectify the weakness as soon as possible.

	Crosswalk.com - Britain Moves Closer to Free IVF Treatment
		Couples diagnosed as infertile would be eligible for up to three cycles of IVF treatment, and embryos created during those cycles could also be frozen for future use.
		Advocates of free IVF say women are currently subjected to a "postcode lottery," meaning covered treatments vary depending upon where a couple lives.
		When parts of the draft guidelines were leaked to the press earlier this month, CORE estimated that if all couples currently undergoing private IVF treatment in Britain turned to the National Health Service, the additional bill to taxpayers would amount to about $650 million a year.

		IVF: In vitro fertilization, a laboratory procedure in which sperm are placed with an unfertilized egg in a Petri dish to achieve fertilization.
		IVF was originally devised to permit women with damaged or absent Fallopian tubes to have a baby.
		Normally a mature egg is released from the ovary (ovulated), then enters the Fallopian tube, and waits in the neck of the tube for a sperm to fertilize it.

	How Do IVF Babies Turn Out? - Fertility specialists confront disturbing evidence. By Liza Mundy
		Created as a way of enabling women with blocked fallopian tubes to bear children, IVF is now sought by women suffering from everything from polycystic ovaries to aging egg reserves, not to mention an equally large cohort of infertile men, as well as cancer patients, single parents, and gay and lesbian partners.
		As one doctor pointed out, women undergoing IVF "are not the normal population; they may not have a normal uterus or vascular supply." Moreover, Hudson's group agreed that existing studies suggest that IVF may interfere with the delicate process of genetic expression that takes place during the early days of embryonic development.
		She also confirmed what has now become accepted truth: that, puzzlingly, even singleton IVF babies are born at a lower birth weight than naturally conceived ones and are more likely to be premature and to have perinatal complications.

		In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), is an assisted reproductive technique otherwise known as (ART).
		The eggs are retrieved by one of two methods: sonographic egg recovery, the more common of the two, which uses ultrasound guidance to retrieve the eggs, or oocytes; or laparoscopic egg recovery, in which retrieval is made through a small incision in the abdomen.
		Gamete Intrafallopian transfer (GIFT), is similar to IVF, but here the harvested eggs and sperm are placed directly into the fallopian tubes, with fertilisation occurring in the woman's body.

		In IVF, eggs are gathered from the woman’s ovaries and mixed with the man’s sperm outside the body, usually in a glass dish in a laboratory.
		Appropriate patients are offered IVF, after some initial testing such as a sperm count, a few hormone tests and an evaluation of the uterine cavity to establish the cause of infertility.
		Normally, a woman produces one egg in each menstrual cycle, but with IVF, many ovarian follicles are produced by hormone stimulation and several eggs are obtained (usually 7-15) and a number of embryos are produced after oocyte fertilization.

		It is important to note that there are two types of transfers that can occur in an IVF procedure: the standard 3-day transfer or a blastocyst transfer.
		Since many eggs are retrieved and fertilized during IVF, you may be wondering what happen to those embryos that are not transfered back to you.
		A common procedure for numerous couples is to have the extra embryos cryo-preserved so that they can be used in future IVF cycles if necessary.
