How IVF Works
IVF is one of the most well-known fertility treatments, and for good reason. It gives sperm and egg the chance to meet in a carefully monitored laboratory environment, helping overcome many obstacles to conception. The process involves:
- Ovarian stimulation – Fertility medications help your ovaries develop multiple eggs.
- Egg retrieval – Eggs are collected using a gentle, minimally invasive procedure.
- Fertilization – Sperm is inserted into the egg in our state-of-the-art lab.
- Embryo development – Our team closely monitors embryo growth to identify the healthiest ones.
- Embryo transfer – A developing embryo is placed into your uterus with the hope of implantation.
Each stage of the IVF process is carefully designed to optimize outcomes. Our team provides ongoing updates and guidance, so you feel informed and supported throughout your cycle. Explore our IVF program to learn more about each step.
