Revise: Hormonal Infertility TreatmentsSeveral eggs provide more opportunities for successful fertilisation and embryo development.
For an IVF description, give the stages in order: FSH and LH → several mature eggs → egg collection → fertilisation in the laboratory → embryo development → transfer of one or two embryos into the uterus.
Distinguish embryo transfer from implantation: doctors insert the embryo into the uterus; it must then implant in the uterine lining.
