The difference between an in vitro pregnancy and a normal pregnancy is that the place of fertilization is different and the stages of gestational development are the same.
In vitro pregnancy is a process in which the man and woman are unable to conceive naturally due to various reasons, such as ovulation disorders, blocked fallopian tubes, abnormal semen in the man and other infertility factors, and the egg is removed through assisted reproduction techniques, fertilized with sperm outside the body, and the embryo is cultured in vitro for three to five days and then transplanted into the uterine cavity.
Normal pregnancy is a process in which a man and a woman have sex, and the sperm and egg are fertilized in the peritoneum of the fallopian tube, developing into a blastocyst, which is then deposited in the uterine cavity, where the embryo grows and develops further.
The difference between an in vitro pregnancy and a normal pregnancy is the location of fertilization, but the entire gestation period is the same, and there are usually no mental or physical abnormalities.
