Understanding the IVF Process
- Ovarian Stimulation: The female partner is given fertility medications to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs. Our experienced fertility specialists monitor the patient's response to medication closely through ultrasound and blood tests.
- Egg Retrieval: Once the eggs are mature, they are retrieved through a minor procedure performed under anesthesia. Our skilled and experienced fertility specialists use ultrasound guidance to retrieve the eggs from the ovaries safely. The retrieved eggs are then observed under a microscope.
- Sperm Collection: The male partner provides a semen sample on the same day as the egg retrieval procedure. In cases where there are issues with the male partner's sperm quality or quantity, ICSI may inject a single sperm directly into the egg to increase the chances of successful fertilization.
- Fertilization: The eggs are combined with the sperm in our state-of-the-art laboratory and are monitored for fertilization.
- Embryo Culture: The resulting embryos are cultured in the laboratory for several days, and our skilled embryologists carefully monitor their development.
- Pregnancy Test: Approximately two weeks after the embryo transfer, our patients return to the clinic for a pregnancy test.
