Doctor's answer:

In vitro fertilization (IVF) is actually a very advanced assisted reproductive technology. Currently, IVF has developed into three generations: the first, second, and third generations. It is recommended that you undergo the procedure at a reputable and large hospital. However, IVF cannot be used to select the gender of the baby, as this is illegal in our country. Essentially, IVF is the same as extracorporeal fertilization and embryo transfer technology. The cost is very high, and the success rate is not very high. Patients should be mentally prepared.
