IVF is "in vitro fertilization" In layman language it is known as "Test tube baby" In IVF, fertilization occur outside the body (in lab. But not in test tube. And then embryos are formed. Day 2/3/5 embryos are transferred inside the uterus and then pregnancy is expected. In patients whom uterus is absent or there is problem in uterus or they can't carry pregnancy then other lady's uterus is used/hired and IVF is done. This known as surrogacy.
