Vanderbilt's Soupart gives least three reasons for failure: 1) difficulties in the tiny egg the culture chamber into the uterus, 2) undetected chromosomal abnormalities that doom the egg before it has a chance to implant itself, and 3) interference in the acceptance of the egg by the very hormones that were used to encourage ovulation...
Under normal circumstances, pregnancy occurs when an ovum, or egg cell, released by a woman's ovary during ovulation is fertilized as it passes through the fallopian tube, successfully penetrated by just a single sperm that has traveled through the uterus. After the fertilized egg undergoes a number of cell divisions, the tiny clump of cells enters the uterus, where it burrows into the wall and develops for nine months or so until birth...

Details of what Steptoe and Edwards did to help the Browns are still sketchy. But published reports on their previous work indicate that they probably took the following course: sometime last November, Lesley Brown was given hormonal injections to stimulate maturation of her egg cells. Then, through a small incision in her abdomen, the doctors removed one or more eggs from the ovary, placed them in a laboratory culture medium and exposed them to her husband's sperm.

He was wrong. Until last week, that was one of the very few times that lacocca came close to having egg on his face. After 32 years with Ford, the plain-spoken son of an Italian immigrant was a Horatio...
