IVF
This term is a medical abbreviation used across both professional clinical settings and casual conversation. While it describes a complex scientific process, it is commonly used as a shorthand noun to refer to the entire treatment cycle or the resulting pregnancy.
Because it is an acronym for a specific medical procedure, it is treated as an uncountable noun. One does not typically refer to "an IVF" or "multiple IVFs" in a general sense, but rather refers to "IVF treatment," "an IVF cycle," or "undergoing IVF."
