In vitro fertilization

Obstetrician Gynecologist

In vitro fertilization (or IVF) is a technique of medically assisted procreation (AMP). It aims to ensure the meeting of the oocyte and the spermatozoon outside the body of the woman (in vitro). In practice, the sperm is collected and prepared in the laboratory while the collection of oocytes is done by puncture of the ovaries after ovarian stimulation. In the laboratory, the gametes (oocytes and spermatozoa) are then fertilized, in vitro (in a container) by conventional technique or by ICSI. The fertilized oocyte then becomes an embryo, which is transferred to the uterus.
