In vitro fertilization (IVF) involves fertilizing a woman’s eggs in a laboratory, then transferring the resulting embryos to the woman’s uterus.
Here are common reasons why a woman may turn to IVF to help her conceive, courtesy of the Duke University School of Medicine:
* Scar tissue on the reproductive organs.
* Damaged fallopian tubes.
* Endometriosis.
* Difficulty conceiving with other infertility treatments.
* Low or abnormal test of the male partner’s semen.
