Additional Notes



IVF is a fertility procedure where eggs are removed from the ovaries and mixed with sperm in a laboratory culture dish. Fertilisation takes place in the dish, "in vitro", which means "in glass" before being placed into the female body to develop in the usual way. Thousands of IVF babies have been born since the first in 1978
