A short explanation of what in vitro fertilisation is, why it may be recommended and how a cycle is organised.

A concise starting point if IVF has just been suggested to you.

Antega has not reproduced the prevalence figures or commercial claims in the original description. Whether IVF is the right next step depends on your own assessment.

Key takeaways

  • IVF fertilises eggs outside the body and transfers an embryo to the uterus.
  • It is one option among several, not the automatic first step.
  • Your assessment results decide whether IVF is appropriate.
