Understanding IVF: The Essence

In Vitro Fertilization IVF is a highly effective fertility technique that has been instrumental in helping countless individuals achieve their dreams of parenthood. At its core, IVF involves fertilizing an egg with sperm outside the body, typically within a laboratory setting, and transferring ing embryos back into the uterus.

Step-by-Step Guide Through Your IVF Journey

1. Planning Your Cycle

   • Selecting the right time for your IVF cycle is crucial. Opt for a month when you can dedicate yourself fully to this process without work or travel interruptions.

2. Ovulation Suppression

   • To control natural cycles, start with birth control pills. This step prevents spontaneous ovulation from disrupting your IVF journey. In some cases, dly injections are also employed for additional suppression.

3. Stimulating the Ovaries

   • After suppression, stimulate your ovaries using injectable fertility medications to encourage multiple follicle growth each follicle contning a potential egg.

4. Triggering and Egg Retrieval

   • A trigger shot of hCG is administered 36 hours before the scheduled egg retrieval under sedation. The eggs are then collected by our expert team for subsequent fertilization.

5. Fertilization and Embryo Development

   • Eggs are fertilized with sperm, monitored over days to grow into blastocysts embryos holding great promise for development.

6. Preimplantation Genetic Testing PGT if elected

   • PGT involves biopsying a few cells from the embryos, testing them for genetic abnormalities and ensuring you are advancing toward a genetically normal embryo before transfer.

7. Embryo Transfer

   • The best-quality embryos isare selected based on your circumstances, then transferred into your uterus with the m of successful implantation leading to pregnancy.
