	In vitro fertilisation - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		IVF is a major treatment in infertility where other methods of achieving conception have failed.
		The fertilized egg (zygote) is then transferred to the patient's uterus with the intent to establish a successful pregnancy.
		The first in-vitro fertilization (to produce test tube baby "Durga") in India (and second in the world) was performed by a Calcutta based doctor Dr. Subhash Mukhopadhyay on October 3, 1978.

	In vitro fertilisation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Initially 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.
		Thus, for IVF to be successful it may be easier to say that it requires healthy ova, sperm that can fertilise, and a uterus that can maintain a pregnancy.
		The Roman Catholic Church is opposed to in vitro fertilisation in all instances and advocates that infertility is a call from God to adopt children.

	CRM -- Services -- In vitro fertilisation (IVF-ET)
		IVF is the fertilisation outside the body of an egg by the sperm, followed by the replacement of a fertilised egg (embryo) back inside the uterine cavity (embryo transfer-ET).
		IVF was first carried out at Walsgrave Hospital in September 1990 and has since undertaken hormonal treatments and is currently carrying out between 400 and 500 IVF/ICSI cyles per year.
		IVF was originally used in cases where the Fallopian tubes were blocked, absent or damaged, but may also be used for a number of other, different reasons such as endometriosis, unexplained infertility, male factor infertility, ovulation problems that are difficult to treat by simpler means, or a combination of infertility factors.

	Ethical debate: In vitro fertilisation
		Modern fertility treatments became the focus of much media attention in 1993 after the widely publicised case in which a 59 year old woman was enabled to give birth to twins by means of in vitro fertilisation with donated eggs and her partner's sperm.
		The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 1991 states that "centres considering treatment must take into account the welfare of any child who may be born." Robert Winston, professor of fertility studies at the Hammersmith Hospital, argued that it is wrong to offer in vitro fertilisation to most postmenopausal women.(i).
		If the success rates of in vitro fertilisation improve, and it is shown that a higher age is not a high personal risk and that old parents are not very damaging then risk-benefit objections to treating older women must be dropped.

	In Vitro Fertilisation
		For IVF is rejected not in favour of conception through one-night stands, or other forms of uncommitted sex, but in favour of another, very different approach to having children.
		Most IVF embryos are not implanted, much less carried to term, but are discarded if 'surplus' or damaged, frozen, with the risk of their dying in the process, or used in destructive experimentation.
		For many, their choice to refuse IVF will be an expression of their wish to have children in a way which accords with respect for the child, and for the dignity of human procreation, or else not at all.

	Seasons India :: Test Tube Baby - In Vitro Fertilisation(IVF)
		Test tube baby (In vitro fertilization IVF) is a revolutionary treatment for those couples who can't have a baby on their own because of various types of infertility.
		I.V.F. can also be the treatment of last resort in the case of problems like oligospermia, major cervical mucus hostility factors and certain cases of unexplained infertility.
		Again, IVF may be the only option these men have to father their own biological child, and, therefore, there is no " magic" number of sperm, which a man must have before considering IVF for him.

	IVF (IN VITRO FERTILISATION) AND GIFT (GAMETE INTRA FALLOPIAN TRANSFER)
		IVF and ET (in vitro fertilisation and embryo transfer) were developed as a technique to bypass damaged tubes by doing the things normally done within the tube (egg collection, fertilisation and early embryo development) in the laboratory.
		IVF can also be used for several types of infertility in which normal egg collection, fertilisation or embryo transfer to the uterus are somehow impaired.
		IVF has also been found to be useful for couples in which the cause of infertility cannot be diagnosed.

	Fertility treatments - in vitro fertilisation (IVF)
		In vitro means "in glass" and that is where conception takes place — in a petri dish, using sperm which have been obtained by masturbation and ripe eggs, surgically removed from the ovaries.
		IVF is the only medical resort for women with irreparably damaged or blocked fallopian tubes.
		Embryos conceived in the body take four or five days for their journey along the fallopian tube; IVF embryos usually are considered ready for transfer into the uterus after about 48 hours.

	Jamaica Gleaner - In vitro fertilisation - Wednesday \| July 26, 2000
		IVF involves the collection of eggs from the woman and spermatozoa from her partner and uniting them in a petri dish in the laboratory.
		When fertilisation takes place in the dish and an embryo is created, it is transferred to the woman's womb.
		Frederick said the UHWI in vitro fertility laboratory will be transferring three eggs to each woman.

	In Vitro Fertilisation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		When sperm and eggs are mixed together in IVF relatively few sperm are used, therefore it can also be used when the male partner's sperm quality is less than ideal, although in cases of severe male factor infertility, ICSI is recommended.
		IVF may also now be recommended for some couples where endometriosis or anovulation is a problem, and for some in whom no definite cause for failure to conceive has been identified, and other less invasive forms of fertility treatment have failed.
		Embryos resulting from IVF (fertilised eggs) are allowed to develop in the laboratory, and then two, or occasionally three embryos, are placed in the woman's womb (uterus).

	Question of in vitro fertilisation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		In Vitro Fertilization and Embryo Transfer is used primarily to overcome female infertility due to the absence or gross disease of the Fallopian Tubes, down which the egg.
		The concept of IVF is simple; a ripe human egg is extracted from the ovary shortly before it would have been released by nature, Next, the egg is mixed with the semen of the husband or partner, so that fertilization can occur.
		When human ova have been obtained and fertilized in vitro for a therapeutic purpose and are no longer required for that purpose it would be ethical to use them for soundly based research provided that the informed consent of both donors was obtained.

	In-Vitro Fertilisation - A Scientific Sham
		The propaganda with which the In-Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) program is sold to the general public relies on its alleged usefulness in the treatment of infertility.
		In IVF scientists are also trying to master the fertilisation of the human egg and the growth of the human embryo without the use of a women's body.
		IVF is yet another instance in the grim history of medicine where the vivisectionists have achieved their ultimate goal of experimentation upon living human beings.

	IVF (in vitro fertilization) embryo freezing, assisted reproductive technology for female infertility
		IVF (in vitro fertilization) is the most common form of ART (Assisted Reproductive Technology) today.
		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.

	In vitro fertilisation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The practice of IVF assumes that our offspring may be produced in the laboratory, and that the role of the natural mother, in safeguarding with her own body the welfare of the embryo from conception, may legitimately be transferred to other people.
		We consider that it is an affront to the dignity of the child when he or she is conceived in a surrogacy arrangement, whether this involves IVF or other means of conception (such as artificial insemination).
		We have opposed moves to undermine the legal principle of consent to the use of gametes, since the removal of a person's sperm or ova without their consent is an abuse of their bodily integrity, and could facilitate the production of large numbers of embryos for experimentation.

		IVF with intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) may be indicated for some of these couples depending on the severity of the problem.
		In an IVF cycle, sperm are capacitated in the laboratory prior to inseminating the eggs.
		Even with in vitro fertilization, men with very low concentrations of sperm and/or low motilities may be at risk for impaired fertilization of their partner's eggs.

		IVF was originally devised to overcome infertility caused by blocked or absent fallopian tubes.
		With IVF, the goal is to keep the level of FSH constant, and thus to encourage more of the recruits to develop mature eggs, which are collected surgically under vaginal ultrasound guidance.

	Thinking Twice: Cloning and In Vitro Fertilisation - Ethics & Medicine
		Human cloning and in vitro fertilisation may seem very different procedures; certainly, they are regarded very differently by many people at the present time.
		IVF is seen as a mainstream procedure raising few ethical problems, while cloning, or 'reproductive' cloning, is widely regarded as beyond the moral pale.
		In IVF, the 'producer' mentality can be seen in the way in which IVF embryos are, in practice, dealt with by parents and clinicians.

	In Vitro Fertilization (IVF-ET)
		In Vitro Fertilization Pre-Embryo Transfer (IVF-ET) is a fertility procedure which first succeeded as recently as 1978 by Dr. Edwards (an embryologist) and Dr. Steptoe (a gynecologist) in England.
		This will include hormonal therapy with "fertility drugs." Blood tests and ultrasound scans of the ovaries are used to determine the optimal time to retrieve the eggs from the ovary.

		In vitro fertilisation could be causing genetic errors in embryo
		The conditions in which embryos are cultured in the laboratory during in vitro fertilisation could be causing genetic errors that are associated with certain developmental syndromes and other abnormalities in growth and development, such as low birth weight.
		Researchers told the 22nd annual conference of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology that preliminary work investigating genetic imprinting in mouse embryos had shown that certain culture media and concentrations of oxygen altered the expression of several imprinted genes.
