In Vitro Fertilization: The process in which an egg and sperm are combined in a laboratory dish where fertilization occurs. The fertilized and divided egg is transferred into the women's uterus.
in vitro fertilisation) Fertilisation of an egg (ovum) in a laboratory dish or test tube
Procedure that involves removing eggs from the ovaries and fertilizing them outside of the woman's body. The resulting embryos are then transferred into the woman's uterus through the cervix.
Assisted reproduction technique in which mature eggs from the woman's ovaries are mixed with partner's sperm cells, and incubated so that fertilization occurs. The embryos produced by fertilization may be transferred back to the womb or frozen for late transfer
This is a process of assisted conception that includes taking fertility drugs, collecting the eggs and mixing them with sperm. Embryos are placed in the womb or frozen.
In vitro fertilization. A woman takes hormones to ripen multiple eggs in her ovaries, which are then taken out with a needle placed through the top of the vagina. In a laboratory, the eggs and sperm are combined to create embryos. These embryos will then be transferred back into the woman's uterus.
In Vitro Fertilisation. The procedure by which eggs and sperm are mixed in the laboratory and the process of fertilisation occurs outside the body. Laparoscopy A surgical investigation using a telescope-like instrument to lokk at the pelvic organs, performed as part of an infertility investigation.

In vitro fertilisation. Eggs and sperm are collected and put together to acheive fertilisation outside the body. Up to three of the resulting embryos can be transferred into the woman's womb and a pregnancy may occur.
Procedure where an egg is removed from the ovary after which is fertilised with sperm. The egg and sperm that have fertilised will then be inserted back into the patient through the cervix.
In vitro fertilization. (Literally, “in glass”) fertilization outside of the female body in a laboratory; the term “test tube baby” is inaccurate since fertilization occurs in a small plastic circular dish, not a test tube.
In Vitro Fertilization. Eggs produced by administering fertility drugs are retrieved from a woman's body and fertilized by sperm in a laboratory. The resulting embryos are transferred by catheter to the uterus.
See in vitro fertilisation.
In Vitro Fertilization. a treatment for infertility in which a woman's egg and a suspension of sperm are incubated together in a culture dish (like a test tube), wherein fertilization occurs outside the female body. Once embryos are formed, they are placed back into the woman's uterus.
Acronym stands for in-vitro fertilisation. An ART procedure that involves removing eggs from a woman's ovaries and fertilising them in the laboratory. The resulting embryos are then transferred into the woman's uterus through the cervix.

The procedure where eggs are removed from the ovaries and mixed with sperm. Eggs that fertilize become embryos and are transferred to the uterus in hopes that a pregnancy will result. close window
In Vitro Fertilization. Literally means "in glass." Fertilization takes place outside the body in a small glass dish.
Also referred to as in vitro fertilization. A complicated process during which a woman is given medications to stimulate her ovaries to produce multiple eggs. The eggs are retrieved by aspiration and are then exposed to a man's sperm. Resulting embryos that develop may then be placed into the woman's uterus.
In vitro fertilization. A laboratory procedure in which fertilization is attempted by placing sperm cells in a special dish with unfertilized eggs. The resulting embryos can subsequently be transferred into the uterus or cryopreserved for future use.
In Vitro Fertilisation. A procedure whereby an egg or eggs are recovered by laparoscopy or vaginal ultrasound aspiration. This can be a natural or stimulated cycle, when drugs are used to make the ovaries produce more eggs. They are then placed with a specially prepared sperm sample – partners or donors – so that fertilisation can take place. The pre-embryo(s) is/are then transferred to the uterus when it/they may implant and develop.
In Vitro Fertilisation. IVF is the procedure by which the egg from a female partner and the sperm from a male partner are mixed in the laboratory. Provided fertilisation occurs in the laboratory and the resultant embryos look normal, they are transferred into the uterus (womb) of the female. In natural conception, the egg and sperm meet in the fallopian tube and fertilisation and early development occurs in the tube before implantation in the uterus.
in vitro fertilization. a method of assisted reproduction that involves removing an egg from the ovary, combining it with sperm in a petri dish and, if fertilized, replacing the resulting embryo back into the woman's uterus.

In vitro fertilisation. Laboratory fertilisation of an egg by a sperm. The fertilised egg is then implanted in the female reproductive tract
In vitro fertilization. An ART procedure that involves aspirating eggs from a woman's ovary and combining them in a petri dish with sperm that has been ejaculated into a container and prepared in the laboratory. The resulting embryos are then transferred back into the woman's body, either through her cervix or through the fallopian tube.
In Vitro Fertilization. Assisted reproductive technology involving stimulation of multiple follicular development with drugs such as gonadotrophins. Mature oocytes obtained following stimulation are retrieved from the ovary and immediately mixed with the partner's sperm or with donor sperm. To enable cell division, the fertilized oocytes are then placed in a protected environment for 24 to 48 hours. The embryos obtained are subsequently replaced in the patient's uterus where they may implant. It is now common practice not to replace more than three embryos. Additional embryos can be frozen for future implantation.
in vitro fertilization. a procedure in which the genetic parents' egg and sperm are mixed in a Petri dish to fertilize. Variations include AID (artificial insemination by donor sperm) and AIH (artificial insemination by the husband).
In Vitro Fertilization. An assisted reproductive technique that involves removing sperm and eggs, fertilizing them in a laboratory, then placing a fertilized egg in the uterus.
In vitro fertilization, a method of artificial insemination. With this method, an egg is removed from a woman, joined with a sperm cell in a test tube ( in vitro, from Latin vitrium=glass, as opposed to in vivo=live, from Latin vìvus=a living body). The cells fuse to form a single cell called a zygote. The zygote begins dividing, becoming an embryo. When the zygote/embryo is only a few cells large, it is implanted in the woman's uterus, and, if successful, will develop as a normal embryo.
In Vitro Fertilization. The most common ART procedure, it is used to circumvent a variety of fertility problems. This procedure involves the injection of a stimulant to develop multiple follicles. Once the eggs are mature, they are retrieved from the ovaries and transferred to a laboratory dish. At this time, they are fertilized by sperm from the male partner and developing embryos are inserted back into the uterus.
IN VITRO FERTILIZATION. The procedure during which an egg is removed from the ovary and fertilized by a sperm outside the human body.
In vitro fertilization. This is a method of assisted reproduction that involves combining an egg with a sperm in a laboratory dish. If the egg fertilizes and begins to divide, the resulting embryo is transferred back into the woman's uterus where it will hopefully implant and develop. IVF may be performed in conjunction with medications that stimulate the ovaries to produce many eggs in order to increase the chances of successful fertilization and implantation. IVF bypasses the fallopian tubes and is often the treatment needed by women whose tubes are surgically removed or tied.
In Vitro Fertilization. An assisted reproductive technology procedure in which the female is superovulated in order to produce multiple eggs in a single cycle. The eggs are retrieved just prior to natural ovulation and are fertilized by adding the male's sperm into the same petri dish in the laboratory. The resulting embryos are cultured until they reach a certain cell stage and then a number of the best embryos are transferred back into the uterus. Remaining embryos not transferred can be frozen for future cycles.
In vitro fertilization. A procedure, used to treat infertility, in which an egg and sperm are combined outside the womb to cause fertilization, and then implanted in a woman's uterus.
In Vitro Fertilisation. A fertility treatment where the eggs removed from the woman's ovaries are fertilised by partner or donor sperm outside the womb in a glass petri dish. Two days later the fertilized eggs are placed in the woman's womb.
In Vitro Fertilization) - Fertilization of an oocyte that takes place outside the body in a laboratory culture dish.
In vitro fertilization. A method of assisted reproduction that involves combining an egg with sperm in a laboratory dish. If the egg fertilizes and begins cell division, the resulting embryo is transferred into the woman's uterus where it will hopefully implant in the uterine lining and further develop. IVF may be performed in conjunction with medications that stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs in order to increase the chances of successful fertilization and implantation. IVF bypasses the fallopian tubes and is often the treatment choice for women who have badly damaged or absent tubes. l J l l N l l Q l l l X l Y l
The procedure in which an egg and sperm are mixed outside the body. The fertilised egg(embryo) is allowed to grow in a protected environment for some days before being placed back(transferred) into the uterus.
In vitro fertilization. A procedure where an egg cell (the oocyte) and sperm cells are brought together in a dish (i.e. in vitro), so that a sperm cell can fertilize the egg. The resulting fertilized egg, called a zygote, will start dividing and after a several divisions, forms the embryo that can be implanted into the womb of a woman and give rise to pregnancy.
In Vitro Fertilization: Performed in the laboratory, in vitro (in glass) fertilization involves the removal of eggs from ripe follicles and their fertilization by sperm cells outside the human body.
In Vitro Fertilization. A procedure in which eggs are removed from a woman's body and fertilized. After the embryos have reached the blastocyst stage of development, they are introduced into the woman's uterus. Fertility drugs and hormone treatments are normally used in conjunction with in vitro fertilization.
In vitro fertilization. An assisted reproduction technique in which fertilization is accomplished outside the body.
