What should I expect during my IVF treatment?

During your IVF treatment, you will go through the following main stages:

• • Ovarian Stimulation: Hormonal medications are used to stimulate your ovaries to produce multiple eggs.
  • Egg Retrieval: The mature eggs are retrieved from your ovaries in a minor surgical procedure.
  • Fertilization: Eggs are fertilized in the lab with sperm.
  • Embryo Transfer: The healthiest embryos are selected and transferred into your uterus.
  • Pregnancy Test: About 10-14 days after the transfer, a blood test will determine if pregnancy has occurred.
