Superovulation

You'll be given fertility drugs that will begin a process called stimulation or superovulation. In other words, the drugs which contain Follicle Stimulating Hormone will tell your body to produce more than just the normal one egg per month

Egg Removal

A little more than a day before your eggs are scheduled to be retrieved from your body, you'll receive a hormone injection that will help your eggs mature quickly. Then, you'll have a minor surgical procedure called follicular aspiration to remove the eggs.

Sperm Collection

While your eggs are being removed, your partner will provide a sperm sample. You also may choose to use donor sperm. The sperm are then put through a high-speed wash and spin cycle in order to find the healthiest ones

Sperm and Eggs

Now comes the part of IVF that everyone's the most familiar with — combining the best sperm with your best eggs. This stage is called insemination. It usually takes a few hours for a sperm to fertilize an egg. Your doctor may also inject the sperm directly into the egg instead, a process known as intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI)

Embryo Transfer Into Uterus

Once your eggs have been collected you'll receive yet another medication. This one is meant to prep the lining of your uterus to receive the embryos that will be transferred back into you. About three to five days after fertilization, your doctor will place the embryos in your uterus using a catheter.

Final Step

The IVF process basically replicates natural reproduction. The next step after the IVF process determines whether the procedure worked — the pregnancy test
