In vitro fertilisation stimulates the ovaries to produce multiple eggs, retrieves them, fertilises them with sperm in a laboratory (often via ICSI, where a single sperm is injected into each egg), and transfers a resulting embryo into the uterus. It is the cornerstone treatment for many causes of infertility and is sought abroad both for cost and for access to options — such as donor eggs — that may be restricted or expensive at home.
Success rates depend heavily on the woman's age, the underlying diagnosis, and the laboratory's quality, and published 'success rates' are easy to misread. Cross-border fertility care also raises legal and ethical questions — around donor anonymity, embryo storage and parentage — that vary sharply by country and must be checked before treatment.
