There are a number of reasons why one might choose IVF as the correct treatment options. It might be that the fallopian tubes, the tubes that connect the ovaries to the womb, are blocked, and therefore, they need to be bypassed with IVF. It might be that there is a problem with the sperm concentration count or normal forms in the ejaculate, which means, then, IVF is required in order to be able to compensate for that. There might be a problem with ovulation. Or, sometimes, simply we just don't know why somebody cannot achieve a pregnancy, in which case, IVF, again, can be used.
