Fortunately, nothing is impossible for modern medicine. Thanks to IVF, thousands of couples were able to experience the happiness of motherhood and fatherhood.
IVF is a complex and serious method for which the couple must prepare in advance. The initial stage of preparation for artificial insemination involves the delivery of tests. In vitro fertilization is done after preliminary diagnosis.
Why do couples need examinations before IVF?
