In vitro fertilisation (IVF) is a technique in which egg cells are fertilised outside the woman's body. IVF is a major treatment in infertility where other methods of achieving conception have failed.
The process involves hormonally controlling the ovulatory process, removing ova (eggs) from the woman's ovaries and letting sperm fertilise them in a fluid medium. The fertilised egg (zygote) is then transferred to the patient's uterus with the intent to establish a successful pregnancy. "In vitro" is Latin for "in glass", referring to the test tubes, however neither glass nor test tubes are being used; the term is used generically for laboratory procedures. Babies that are the result of IVF have been called "test tube babies".
History
The technique was developed in the United Kingdom by Doctors Patrick Steptoe and Robert Edwards. The first so-called "test-tube baby", Louise Brown, was born in Oldham, England, as a result on July 25, 1978 amid intense controversy over the safety and morality of the procedure.
