IVF, or In Vitro Fertilization, is a widely used assisted reproductive technology (ART) that helps individuals and couples conceive a child when they face fertility challenges. IVF is often recommended when other fertility treatments have failed or in cases of blocked fallopian tubes, low sperm count, unexplained infertility, or certain genetic conditions. It has helped millions of people worldwide to conceive, and ongoing advancements continue to improve its success rates and accessibility.
