In vitro fertilization is a method in which the wife's egg is fertilized with the husband's sperm in a test tube (outside the body). When the embryo is formed and developed, it will be transferred back to the wife's uterus to nest and develop into a fetus. Both husband and wife need to undergo a health check and fertility assessment, in particular, they need to comply with the regulations prescribed by the doctor to prepare for the egg retrieval and embryo transfer process to go smoothly.

Although the procedure of egg retrieval from the ovary sounds scary, this is actually a fairly common procedure in the process of in vitro fertilization with side effects always kept to a minimum. Accordingly, for this process to take place with the highest level of success, women need to know and understand how egg retrieval is done to prepare their health, spirit and ability to cooperate.
