Question

explain the concept of IVF

Answer 1

Definition. In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a procedure in which eggs (ova) from a woman's ovary are removed. They are fertilized with sperm in a laboratory procedure, and then the fertilized egg (embryo) is returned to the woman's uterus

process

In Vitro Fertilization is an assisted reproductive technology (ART) commonly referred to as IVF. IVF is the process of fertilization by extracting eggs, retrieving a sperm sample, and then manually combining an egg and sperm in a laboratory dish. The embryo(s) is then transferred to the uterus

Answer 2

IVF - Invitro fertilization occurs outside the body.  It is not growing a baby in a test tube.

Let me explain the 'Test tube baby' method:

Ova from the donor female or wife and the sperm from the donor male or husband are allowed to fuse under proper simulated condition in the laboratory. It is called as IVF or invitro fertilization. (In vitro means outside the body).

 

The formed zygote is then transferred to the fallopian tube or uterus of the female donar or the original mother  for further development. This is called ET orEmbryo Transfer. After the embryo transfer, the baby grows normally like other babies in  the human female uterus.

 

ET can be done in two methods.

ZIFT – Zygote Intra fallopian Transfer

IUT  - Intra uterine Transfer.

 

The zygote upto 8 blastomeres transferred to Fallopian tube and it is called ZIFT method.

The zygote with more than 8 blastomeres transferred to uterus and is called IUT.
