MODEL RELEASE AVAILABLE. In vitro fertilisation (IVF): technician removing samples of frozen sperm from a flask of liquid nitrogen. In IVF,sperm and ova (eggs) meet in a petri dish,where fertilisation may take place. Fertility drugs given to potential mothers stimulate production of several ova rather than the usual one. Ova are usually harvested by laparoscopy,a surgical procedure using optical fibres linked to a collecting needle that are inserted through the abdominal wall. In successful cases,embryos are transferred back to the woman's uterus via a catheter through the cervix | |
