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!
