Next step is super ovulation this includes developing more than one egg. This is also known as embryo culture, embryo transfer or egg harvesting.
Test tube babies-
The test tube baby is a child who is conceived outside the mother’s body. The procedure is generally removing the egg from ovary of the mother and is fused with the sperm. After this fertilization takes place, these eggs are put in some test tubes with some labels on. They are stored in the test tubes for a limited time and then transferred in the mother’s uterus for a normal development. Many women around the world who had infertility problem have successfully conceived and gave birth without any troubles.
