Ivf In vitro fertilisation - Ivf In vitro fertilisation information

"In vitro fertilisation (IVF) is the process used to conceive a child outside the body. A woman's eggs and man's sperm are placed together in a plastic dish for fertilisation. Once fertilised, the resulting embryos are placed back in the woman's uterus in the hope that a successful pregnancy will follow. The woman may develop a condition called ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) which may include abdominal swelling, nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea, lower abdominal pain and shortness of breath."
