In an In Vitro Fertilization( IVF) Procedure, the doctor : -
* Prescribes hormonal medications to stimulate the ovaries.
* Gathers the eggs.
* Fertilizes the eggs in vitro (outside the body).
* Transfers the resulting embryos through the cervix into the uterus..
Follicular Stimulation and Monitoring
At the start of the woman's cycle, the physician prescribes hormones or other medications. These control the timing of the cycle and stimulate the development of multiple follicles, sacs of fluid in the ovary that may contain an egg. Usually, the patient can take these medications at home.

More than one visit may be required...
