In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is a form of Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) involving:  stimulation of  a woman's egg production by  hormones or oral medications;  extraction of  multiple eggs at the optimal time (using  ultrasound-guided equipment or a tiny abdominal  incision);  fertilization of the eggs by sperm in a laboratory ; and  implantation of the fertilized eggs (embryos) into the woman's uterus.
