The IVF Process

1. Ovarian Stimulation: The first step involves stimulating the ovaries using hormonal medications to produce multiple mature eggs instead of the single egg typically released during a menstrual cycle.
2. Egg Retrieval: Once the eggs are mature, they are retrieved from the ovaries through a minor surgical procedure performed under sedation or anesthesia.
3. Sperm Collection: A sperm sample is collected from the male partner or a sperm donor on the same day as egg retrieval.
4. Fertilization: The retrieved eggs are fertilized with sperm in a laboratory setting. This can be done through conventional insemination or Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI), where a single sperm is injected directly into an egg.
5. Embryo Culture: The fertilized eggs (embryos) are cultured for several days (usually 3 to 5 days) to allow them to develop before transfer.
6. Embryo Transfer: One or more healthy embryos are selected and transferred into the woman's uterus using a thin catheter.
7. Luteal Phase Support: Hormonal support is often provided after embryo transfer to help prepare the uterine lining for implantation.
8. Pregnancy Test: About two weeks after embryo transfer, a blood test is conducted to determine if implantation has occurred and if pregnancy has been achieved.
