🧬 IVF Process Overview
-
Ovarian Stimulation Hormonal medications are given to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs instead of the usual one per cycle.
-
Egg Retrieval Once the eggs are mature, they are collected from the ovaries using a minor surgical procedure guided by ultrasound.
-
Fertilization in the Lab The retrieved eggs are combined with sperm in a lab dish. If fertilization occurs, embryos begin to develop.
-
Embryo Culture and Selection Embryos are monitored for several days. The healthiest ones are selected for transfer.
-
Embryo Transfer One or more embryos are placed into the uterus. If successful, implantation occurs and pregnancy begins.
-
Pregnancy Test About 10–14 days after transfer, a blood test confirms whether implantation was successful.
