What is IVF baby?

In Vitro Fertilisation, the literal meaning indicates that the baby is being fertilised outside the mother's body in the lab on a Petri dish. This method of fertility treatment has helped many distraught couples to become parents. An egg is removed from the female's ovary and is fused with the sperm. This is done outside the female's body by the fertility specialists. The specialists then store the fused egg by freezing them for future uses or by directly transferring them into the mother's uterus.
