In-vitro fertilization (IVF) is one of the most effective methods to help intended parents achieve their dreams of parenthood. At SurroCare, we guide you through each step of the IVF journey, ensuring you have the support, information, and care you need. Here’s how the IVF process works:
- Ovarian Stimulation: Hormonal medications are given to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs, as opposed to the single egg produced during a regular menstrual cycle. Monitoring is done via blood tests and ultrasounds.
- Egg Retrieval: Once the eggs have matured, a minor surgical procedure is performed to retrieve them. This is a short, outpatient procedure done under mild anesthesia.
- Sperm Collection and Fertilization: After the eggs are collected, sperm is either provided by the intended father or a donor. The sperm and eggs are combined in the lab to create embryos.
- Embryo Development: The fertilized eggs, now embryos, are monitored for several days. The healthiest embryos are selected for transfer.
- Embryo Transfer: A selected embryo is transferred into the uterus of either the intended mother or a surrogate. This is a quick and painless procedure.
- Pregnancy Testing: After 10–14 days, a blood test is performed to confirm pregnancy.
