One of the methods available to help people with fertility issues conceive a baby is in vitro fertilization (IVF). IVF involves taking an egg out of the woman's ovaries and fertilizing it with sperm in a lab. A woman's womb is where the fertilized egg, also known as an embryo, is placed to continue growing and developing.

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is a type of assisted reproductive technology (ART) used for fertility treatment in Portugal. The process involves fertilizing an egg with sperm outside the body, followed by embryo culture and transfer. Success rates depend on factors like age, infertility cause, and quality of eggs and sperm.
Portugal's healthcare system is universal and covers IVF treatments for residents. Couples can have up to three attempts funded. The waiting time ranges from 1-3 months.
