Step-by-Step IVF Treatment Journey

Meet your fertility specialist. Review medical histories, complete pelvic exams, and discuss the overall roadmap. Your partner's consultation is scheduled here too.

Hormone blood panels, uterine assessments (SIS/hysteroscopy), and partner semen analysis are completed. This forms the foundation of your tailored stimulation protocol.

Self-administered subcutaneous hormone injections encourage multiple follicles to mature. Frequent clinic visits for blood draws and ultrasound checkups monitor growth.

Under light intravenous sedation, oocytes are aspirated from the ovaries using ultrasound guidance. The outpatient procedure takes only 20-30 minutes.

Retrieved eggs are cleaned and assessed. Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) introduces a single selected sperm into each mature egg to aid fertilization.

Fertilized embryos are incubated in climate-controlled dishes. On Day 3 (cleavage) and Day 5 (blastocyst), embryologists grade cell structure for viability.

A selected embryo is loaded into a catheter and guided through the cervix into the uterus under ultrasound. It is a quick, pain-free procedure resembling a pap smear.

A clinical blood draw measures Beta-HCG hormone levels to verify implantation. A repeat blood test 48 hours later checks if the hormone is doubling normally.
