In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is the fertilization of an egg by a sperm outside the body. Once fertilization has occurred and normal embryo development is confirmed, it is transferred to the uterus. After implantation occurs, the remaining development of the embryo occurs naturally within the mother.
Atlanta Center for Reproductive Medicine (ACRM) employs state-of-the-art techniques for sperm preparation, ovarian stimulation, egg retrieval, cryopreservation (freezing), micromanipulation procedures including intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) and preimplantation genetic screening and diagnosis.
