IVF (in vitro fertilisation) in Jeddah
IVF is a fertility treatment in which eggs are fertilised with sperm in the laboratory, and the embryo is then placed in the womb. At Aya, these steps take place in the hospital’s own embryology lab.
What IVF is
Eggs are collected from the ovaries and fertilised in the lab. Once the embryo has developed, it is transferred to the womb. It is a well-established treatment used around the world.
