IVF treatment. Technician injecting human sperm directly into a human egg cell using a technique known as intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). This technique is used for in vitro fertilisation (IVF). In IVF,fertility drugs are given to potential mothers to stimulate the production of egg cells. These are then harvested,and fertilised in a petri dish. If fertilisation is successful,the embryos are incubated and then transferred back into the woman's uterus. 3-4 embryos are often introduced to increase the probability that one will implant.
