IVF Procedure: Step-by-Step

1. Ovarian Stimulation

Fertility medications stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs. Ultrasound and blood tests monitor follicle growth.

2. Egg Retrieval

Mature eggs are collected through a minimally invasive procedure under medical supervision.

3. Fertilization in the Laboratory

Eggs are fertilized with sperm using conventional IVF or ICSI, depending on the case.

4. Embryo Culture

Fertilized eggs (embryos) are cultured in the laboratory for 3–5 days.

5. Embryo Transfer

A healthy embryo is transferred into the uterus using a thin catheter. This procedure is painless.
