According to the World Health Organization, 1 in 6 adults across the globe experience infertility at some point in their lifetime. There are a variety of treatments to address this issue from medications to surgery to assisted conception options like intrauterine insemination or in vitro fertilization, or IVF.
IVF is the process of retrieving an egg from the ovaries and fertilizing it with sperm outside of the body. That viable fertilized egg is then placed in the womb to develop.
