IVF Process In vitro fertilisation (IVF) involves numerous steps to help a couple in their family expansion plan. The treatment starts with initial consultation with a respective doctor. However, the primary and valuable steps are as follows: • Ovary stimulation • Egg retrieval • Sperm extraction • Egg fertilisation • Embryo transfer • Pregnancy test
Ovary stimulation This process involves the prescription and administration of fertility drugs to stimulate the ovaries of a female for the production of multiple eggs at a time. Usually, a female’s ovaries release one egg in a menstrual cycle.
Ovary stimulation For ovary stimulation, doctors ask the patients to take: • Injectable hormones containing FSH and LH for multiple egg production • Medicines containing HCG hormone for egg maturation after 8-14 days • Medications to prevent premature ovulation and prepare the uterine lining for implantation
Egg retrieval Egg retrieval After 34-36 hours of the final injection or before ovulation, the doctor retrieves eggs from a female’s ovaries through the catheter. Before the process starts, the doctor will advise you to take pain killers.
Egg retrieval Egg retrieval The doctor uses the following tricks/steps to retrieve eggs: • Transvaginal ultrasound aspiration • A fine needle, catheter • Abdominal ultrasound if the transvaginal ultrasound does not guide and offer the requisite help during egg retrieval process • Egg removal happens within 20 minutes • Classification of eggs and placement of mature eggs in a nutritive liquid
Sperm extraction Sperm extraction To move ahead for egg fertilisation, the doctor needs sperm that you can get from your male partner. If your male partner’s sperm is not healthy, the doctor advises you to opt for a sperm donor program. For sperm extraction, the following steps can be taken: • • Masterbation Testicular aspiration
Egg fertilisation After the collection of eggs and sperm, the doctor will move ahead for the fertilisation process. To fertilise your egg with your male partner’s or a donor’s sperm, the doctor can use two common methods - conventional insemination or ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection).
Egg fertilisation In certain cases, your doctor may recommend you for the following procedures before transferring the eggs into your uterus: • Assisted hatching • PGT (preimplantation genetic testing)
Embryo transfer Embryo transfer At the clinic or hospital, the doctor performs embryo transfer after tw-5 days of egg retrieval. The embryo transfer process includes the following steps: • Administration of sedative • Insertion of the catheter into your vagina through the cervix and into the uterus • The syringe attached with the catheter contains fluid and embryo/s
Pregnancy test Pregnancy test Your doctor will conduct a urine or blood test to detect the presence of HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) that indicates the occurrence of a conception. This pregnancy test is done usually after two weeks of embryo transfer. The doctor can advise and conduct another test if the first one produces a negative result.
