There are primary five major steps in the In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) and embryo transfer process:

• Carefully administer and monitor the development of ripening of eggs in the ovaries.
• Blocked due to surgery
• Collection of eggs
• Obtain the sperm
• With the supervision of medical professionals, eggs and sperm are placed in the laboratory and given the condition for fertilization and early embryo growth.
• Transfer the embryos into the uterus

In order to control the timing of egg ripening and enhance the scope for collecting a substantial number of eggs, fertility medicines are prescribed depending on each case study. Prior to the determining of egg retrieval schedule, at Dr. Padmaja Fertility (IVF) Centre, ultrasound of the ovaries is performed to check the development of eggs and a blood / urine test to measure the hormone levels.

The Egg Retrieval and Embryo Transfer Procedure

The retrieval procedure to eggs is carried out trans-vaginally with the help of a hollow needle under the assistance of the ultrasound image (this procedure is completely safe and comfortable under adequate sedation and general anesthesia). Eggs are gently removed from the ovaries with the help of a needle and this procedure is called "follicular aspiration." Our embryologist in our special In Vitro Fertilization ( IVF) laboratory immediately identifies the eggs and they are placed with the sperm in incubators to further allow fertilization to take place. Further, the eggs are kept under close observation and examination carefully at intervals to ensure that fertilization and cell division takes place. The fertilized eggs are now called embryos. Embryos are generally placed in the wife's uterus 2 or 3 days after egg retrieval.

• A. Consider factors such as success rates, reputation, expertise of the doctors and staff, facilities, cost, and patient reviews when choosing an IVF center.
• 4. What steps are involved in the IVF process?
• A. The IVF process typically involves ovarian stimulation, egg retrieval, fertilization of eggs with sperm, embryo culture, embryo transfer, and pregnancy testing.
• 5. How long does the IVF treatment process take?
• A. The IVF treatment process can take several weeks to complete, depending on individual circumstances. It usually involves multiple appointments for monitoring, egg retrieval, embryo transfer, and follow-up.
