Many couples enter IVF without truly understanding how the process works or what decisions they’ll face along the way.

In this episode of The Fertility Workshop, Marcus breaks down the science behind IVF in a clear and practical way so you can better navigate your fertility journey.

We explain how sperm and eggs develop, what actually happens inside the IVF lab, and how clinics select sperm for fertilization. You’ll also learn the differences between IUI, IVF and ICSI, how egg collection works, and why some couples choose fresh vs frozen embryo transfers.
