With scar tissue blocking both oviducts, the eggs cannot be fertilized naturally. In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a process where eggs are extracted from the woman's ovaries and fertilized with sperm in a laboratory. The resulting embryos are then transferred to the woman's uterus. This procedure bypasses the oviducts and allows fertilization to occur outside the body.
