Dr. Seth Derman answered

Specializes in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility

Eggs + sperm: IVF refers to a procedure in which they eggs are removed from the body and fertilized in a laboratory. Third party means that someone other than than the mother and father are involved. That can mean an egg donor, a sperm donor or a gestational carrier who will give birth to the baby.
