Each month, the ovaries naturally only produce one egg. However, the likelihood of becoming pregnant is considerably decreased if you are undergoing IVF therapy and there is only one egg accessible. Some hormone drugs allow us to manage the ovaries and encourage them to produce many eggs at once. Ovarian stimulation is the name given to this action.
The follicles, or tiny sacs packed with fluid on the ovary, are where the eggs grow. The follicles expand as the eggs develop and mature to the point at which they are prepared to be ovulated into the body in response to the daily medication you are taking. Using ultrasound, we monitor the follicles’ growth, and when they reach the proper size.

A little needle is used to extract the eggs from the ovaries, and it is directed into the follicles on their surface using an ultrasound probe. The treatment is carried out while being sedated by an anesthetist, which allows for the rapid and painless collection of the eggs. It usually takes fifteen to twenty minutes to collect the eggs. The embryologists in the lab gather the eggs, which are then swiftly transferred to an incubator that nearly exactly replicates the conditions found in nature for the eggs.

In the event that you are receiving treatment with a male partner, they will go with you to the facility where the sperm must be created. If you are utilizing frozen or donor sperm, the samples will be defrosted the morning of the procedure.

Three to five days after the day of egg collection, the embryos are reinserted into the uterus. Similar to having a cervical smear test, the embryo transfer is typically a completely painless process. In younger women with healthy embryos, just one embryo that has reached day 5 of development will often be advised for transfer back to the womb.



Three embryos at most may be implanted in older women who are having treatment using their own eggs. Depending on the quality of the embryos and your personal medical history, the Aria team will offer advice to each patient individually.

The middle of the cavity of the body is where the embryos are positioned when they are reintroduced into the body.
