For more than 20 years, millions of women have successfully utilized In vitro fertilization (IVF) as a reproductive treatment. Doctors advise women to consider IVF if all other attempts at conception have failed if they have endometriosis, polycystic ovarian syndrome, blocked or absent fallopian tubes, or if they suffer from any other condition that affects fertility. Hormones that encourage the creation of several eggs rather than just one are injected by doctors to begin the IVF procedure. When more than one egg is found, the eggs are collected and mixed with sperm in a lab dish. An embryo is delivered to a woman's uterus when it reaches the mature blastocyst stage, at which point a typical pregnancy is anticipated to begin.

There are many strategies and tactics available for attempting to conceive that guarantee to increase the likelihood of conception.
