1. 5STEPSOFTHEINVITRO FERTILIZATION(IVF)PROCESS Step1:Medication The woman is given injection hormones to stimulate healthy egg development. IVF helps her produce more eggs than she would in a normal month. Step2:HarvesttheEggs Eggs are then collected from the ovaries via a minor surgery during which the woman is sedated and the eggs are retrieved trans-vaginally. “We use a small needle guide to pass a needle over a trans-vaginal ultrasound to remove fluid from the follicles,” she explains. Step3:Fertilization The egg and sperm are then combined in a lab through varying technologies of fertilization, such as intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). Step4:EmbryoCulture “The embryologists will observe the embryos as they divide from two cells to four cells and then eight cells,” says Dr. Sushma Ved. “We watch as they have a growth, sometimes up to five days out at the blastocyst stage, where they have 100 or 125 cells.” Step5:EmbryoTransfer During an embryo transfer, a woman’s uterus is watched by ultrasound and a small catheter is placed into the uterine cavity through the cervix. The embryo(s) are then placed in the uterus. Ten days later, the woman returns to the clinic for a blood test to determine if she’s pregnant. www.mediworldfertility.com BOOK APPOINTMENT +91-9999-394-394
