So, first, let’s know,
Oocyte retrieval is the process of extracting eggs from a woman’s ovaries. It is a crucial step in the in-vitro fertilization (IVF) procedure. Typically, the procedure is carried out through the vaginal canal. The doctor will closely examine the woman’s ovaries in the weeks leading up to the egg retrieval date to track the growth of her follicles and eggs.
The woman will be instructed for the HCG trigger injection once the IVF doctor has confirmed that the follicles are mature. The HCG – human chorionic gonadotropin hormone aids in the ultimate egg development. It also triggers egg release from the follicles.
Since egg retrieval is scheduled during the peak fertile period following ovulation, which is usually 35-36 hours after the HCG trigger shot, it is critical to give the shot within the recommended timeframe.
Let’s discuss,
The doctor will administer sedatives to the woman to assist her in falling asleep during the procedure. Then, the doctor will sanitize the vaginal area and use an ultrasound to examine the ovaries. Next, the doctor inserts a needle into one of the ovaries.
A suction device and a test tube are linked to the needle. Then, the doctor will place the needle into an egg-containing follicle and extract the egg and surrounding fluid into the needle.
From the needle to the test tube, the eggs will travel. This process is repeated in the other ovary and with other follicles. It takes roughly 30 to 60 minutes to complete the procedure. After that, the woman is escorted to the recovery room to relax for a few hours.
The doctor transfers the retrieved eggs to the IVF lab to achieve fertilization of the egg by the sperm. The fertilized egg develops into an embryo. The resulting embryo is implanted into the woman’s uterus to achieve pregnancy.
Now, let’s know,
After the egg retrieval procedure, the patient can experience:
For many patients, egg retrieval can be a highly emotional day, and both hormones and anaesthetics can amplify the day’s feelings. Ensure you consult an experienced IVF doctor in Ahmedabad to receive a safe, comfortable, and result-oriented IVF treatment.
FET is one of the most sought-after fertility treatments at our IVF centre in Ahmedabad for its high success rate and low cost. It involves thawing the embryos from the previous IVF cycle and transferring them to the uterus. The women do not have to undergo ovarian stimulation or egg retrieval during this procedure.
ICSI is an advanced version of IVF, wherein the sperm is directly injected into the egg to ensure fertilization. Our fertility specialist recommends it to couples suffering from male infertility or recurrent IVF failure.
IVF is one of our centre’s most popular fertility treatments. It is a boon for people who cannot conceive naturally. In this procedure, the eggs and the sperm are fertilized outside the body in the lab, and the resultant embryo is transferred to the woman’s uterus.
Now it is possible to preserve your sperm and eggs for later use. With the help of cryopreservation, the eggs and sperm are stored at low temperatures to maintain their viability. This advanced technique is a blessing for people who have to delay having children due to medical or other reasons.
