Advancing Fertility Care Through Sharing Innovative Research and Thought
META IVF stands for Most Effective Tactics Available for In Vitro Fertilization. In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) means combining eggs and sperm in a laboratory to make embryos which are later transferred to the uterus.
This site is for healthcare providers and patients interested in researching and using the most effective fertility care possible. This includes decreasing costs associated with diagnosis and treatment of infertility as well as increasing the success of fertility treatments. A big important part of effective fertility care is avoiding use of costly products and services that have no actual benefit.
You might be wondering what is the need for a site like this? The main need is to provide accurate information in an unbiased fashion. Much of the information on fertility testing, treatment, and research is driven by for-profit companies that are financially invested in selling a product or service.
