How IVF Works
IVF treatment consists of four distinct stages:
1
Preparation
To help ensure the successful retrieval of multiple eggs, individuals undergoing IVF may receive fertility drugs to mimic the body’s natural hormones. Then, the ovaries and hormone levels will be carefully monitored to determine when it is time for egg retrieval.
2
On the day of retrieval, the patient is lightly sedated, and an ultrasound probe is inserted internally (in the vagina) to identify follicles. A thin needle is then inserted into an ultrasound guide, gently passing through the vagina and into the follicles to retrieve eggs.
Egg Retrieval

From the partner/donor sample, sperm are separated from semen in the Lab. One active sperm is then injected into each egg. Within under 24 hours, it can be determined whether the fertilization process worked.

To ensure they’re as strong and healthy as possible, viable embryos are first incubated and observed over the next couple of days. Finally, the embryos are transferred into the uterus, to continue developing. If the IVF treatment is successful, the pregnancy blood test will be positive.
