Why is it necessary? of IVF

Infertility in one third of cases can be attributed to factors affecting women, such as problems connected to egg release, blockages in the fallopian tubes, or structural defects (congenital abnormalities) of the uterus.  Another third of cases involve factors affecting men, which may include a low sperm count (oligospermia), poor sperm motility and/or lifespan, or azoospermia where no sperm cells are produced.  The remaining third of infertility cases can be attributed to fertility issues in both partners, or to reasons unknown.
