IVF/ET is an ART [assisted reproductive technology] technique during which human eggs are fertilized in the laboratory ("in vitro") rather than in the fallopian tube ("in vivo"). For this purpose, the eggs are removed from the woman's ovaries with a fine needle; after maturing in the laboratory, they are fertilized with the husband's sperm; and after fertilization, the dividing embryos are transferred into the wife's reproductive system. 1, record 1, English, - in%20vitro%20fertilization%20and%20embryo%20transfer
