As a Reproductive ocrinologist and Infertility Specialist REI, I am dedicated to guiding couples who are battling infertility in their quest to conceive. One of the most widely sought-after treatments offered at our clinic is In Vitro Fertilization, or IVF. This intricate medical procedure involves a series of carefully executed steps designed to maximize the chances of success.
The journey begins with an initial consultation, where we delve into your medical history and conduct necessary assessments to evaluate your fertility issues. We also address any questions you might have about IVF, ensuring that you are well-prepared for this pivotal part of your reproductive journey.
Following the consultation, progresses to ovarian stimulation - a crucial phase involving medication designed to encourage your ovaries to produce multiple eggs over an 8-14 day period. You will administer dly injections, carefully monitored by our medical team throughout this timeframe as we track your hormone levels and follicular growth.
The next step is egg retrievala minor surgical procedure typically conducted under sedation or general anesthesia. A needle is guided through the vaginal wall into your ovaries to retrieve mature eggs for laboratory processing.
Embryology enters the scene with fertilization, where the retrieved eggs are mixed with sperm in a lab setting. We employ Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection ICSI, injecting a single sperm into each egg to facilitate fertilization. The development of these embryos is closely monitored as they grow and mature over several days.
ing embryos undergo embryo culturea process that allows them ample time to develop without interference. Our team diligently oversees this phase, ensuring optimal conditions for quality assessment and viability.
As we near the final step, embryo transfer occurs in an outpatient setting using a thin catheter under minimal anesthesia. The transferred embryos are carefully placed into your uterus, marking the of this complex but critical procedure.
Post-transfer monitoring includes regular pregnancy tests to confirm success. Should you test positive, our team continues comprehensive care and support throughout your pregnancy journey.
Embarking on the IVF pathway can be a challenging yet rewarding experience for those eager to start their family. Our clinic is dedicated to providing compassionate care at every step of this process.
