In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) in My Situation?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by ShariahBoard.org

Alhumdulilah I have three children (a boy and two girls). I always wanted more children but unfortunately we are unable to have any more children. My husband and I have been trying for more than 10 years now, we have also seen doctors and they performed all the tests but they did not find any issue with me or with my husband. It is unexplained infertility. The doctors are advising us to use In Vitro Fertilization. Is it okay for us to get this procedure done in the light of sharia in these circumstances?
