How to plan for and have a child by using IVF

Step by step

1) The couple visit a reproduction clinic. Each clinic has its own IPS (intra cyto plasmic sperm) specialist or reproductive endocrinologist, whom they consult with first.

2) If all goes well, the potential mother takes hormone injections for two weeks.

3) For the collection process a simple injection is inserted inside the ovary for suction of follicular fluid which contains the eggs.

4) The fluid is taken to the lab to collect the eggs, they are kept in special media to be washed with nutrients.

5) The eggs stay there with many eggs around them to be cleaned and to be ready to be injected with the sperm.

6) Then the intra cyto plasmic sperm injection is conducted where each egg is injected with a sperm.

7) The next day fertilization of eggs is checked.

8) Then the media is changed and the eggs are put in a different incubator for two more days, sometimes transfer is made by day 3.

9) Once the embryos are to be taken back to the womb, the doctor checks the mother’s womb using an ultra sound and uses speculum to load the embryos.
