Okur-Chung Neurodevelopmental Syndrome
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a medical procedure that helps some people have babies when they have difficulty doing so naturally. Instead of the baby forming inside the mother's body, like in a natural pregnancy, IVF happens outside the body.
Here's how it works: Eggs are taken from a woman's ovaries and sperm from a man, and they are combined in a lab dish. When the egg and sperm meet and create an embryo, the doctors put that embryo back into the woman's uterus. If everything goes well, the embryo can grow into a baby inside the mother, just like a regular pregnancy.
