How IVF works and what to know about it
Viewing time: 6m 42s
What you’ll learn:
- IVF (In Vitro Fertilisation) is common place now and the demand is growing
- In the natural way of making a baby, the first step occurs in the brain
- Follicles, containing eggs, of the ovary are stimulated by a hormone and one becomes mature
- As the egg grows and when the oestrogen level is high enough, ovulation occurs and the egg releases
- IVF mimics this reproduction process by helping the body produce the eggs needed to create a baby and by fertilising them in the lab
- Better testing, decreasing costs and technological advances are making IVF more accessible
- It’s possible that IVF could overtake natural reproduction…but where’s the fun in that!
