The IVF Process
The IVF process involves carefully combining eggs and sperm in a laboratory setting to facilitate fertilization and increase the chances of a successful pregnancy.
Ovarian Stimulation
To maximize the chances of success, we begin with ovarian stimulation. This involves the administration of medication to encourage the development of multiple mature eggs within your ovaries.
Egg Retrieval
Once the eggs have reached the optimal stage of development, we perform a minor surgical procedure to retrieve them from the ovaries.
Sperm Collection
On the same day as egg retrieval, we collect a sperm sample from the male partner or a sperm donor, depending on your specific situation.
Fertilization
In the laboratory, we carefully combine the collected eggs and sperm to facilitate fertilization. This can occur through traditional insemination or through the highly precise method known as Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI).
Embryo Culture
Embryos are cultured and monitored for several days, allowing us to select the healthiest ones for transfer.
Embryo Transfer
Once the embryos have developed, one or more of them are transferred into the woman’s uterus, with the hope that they will implant and lead to a successful pregnancy.
Support and Monitoring
We provide comprehensive support and monitoring throughout the IVF cycle, including hormonal support and careful observation of the developing pregnancy.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Success rates can vary based on age, underlying causes of infertility, and other factors. Your fertility specialist can provide personalized success rate estimates during the consultation.
IVF carries some risks, such as multiple pregnancies, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), and the possibility of failed cycles. Your doctor will discuss these risks and potential side effects in detail.
Insurance coverage for IVF varies widely and depends on your provider and policy. It’s essential to check with your insurance company to understand your specific coverage.
The number of embryos transferred varies based on your age, embryo quality, and specific circumstances. Doctors aim to minimize the risk of multiple pregnancies while maximizing the chances of success.
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet, regular exercise, and stress management can positively impact IVF outcomes. Your doctor may provide specific recommendations.
