In vitro fertilisation, or IVF, is a fertility treatment that has helped many couples fulfil their dream of having a baby when natural conception seems impossible. Since the first IVF birth, science and medicine have come a long way, with more successful births every year. Yet, there is a lot of uncertainty surrounding this treatment, mainly because of the many myths perpetuated regarding it. Some enter it with too much expectation while knowing too little.

It’s the dream of many parents to conceive a child, but sometimes conception is hard due to problems regarding infertility. Fortunately, for many couples, reproductive medicine has advanced to help fertility concerns and achieve pregnancies. One such advancement is IVF or In Vitro Fertilisation.

IVF has a lot of success stories, which is why couples tend to jump into treatment without being entirely prepared or having done proper research.
