In vitro fertilisation (IVF) is a process of fertilisation in which an egg is combined with sperm in vitro ("in glass"). The process involves monitoring and stimulating a woman's ovulatory process, then removing an ovum or ova (egg or eggs) from her ovaries and enabling a man's sperm to fertilise them in a culture medium in a laboratory.

[58] [59] [60] By day 13 the penetration site in the endometrium has usually been closed by a ...
The average time to birth has been estimated to be 268 days (38 weeks and two days) from ovulation, with a standard deviation of 10 days or coefficient of variation of 3.7%. [33] Fertilization age is sometimes used postnatally (after birth) as well to estimate various risk factors.
Freezing embryos for IVF became standard practice after the development of vitrification, a fast-freezing process that is safer for the embryo. While there’s still a risk of damage during the ...

A study published in February 2018 found a 60% live birth rate in a group of 120 lesbian couples who underwent reciprocal IVF. [20] The subject of the research are European patients only. The success rate of reciprocal IVF heavily depends on the age of the birth mother. For women under age 35, there is a 41-43% success rate.
