IVF offers couples their best chance at conceiving and can help overcome common causes of infertility. During IVF, your ovaries will be stimulated to produce eggs. The procedure to retrieve these eggs (oocyte pick up), usually takes just 10 to 15 minutes. Your fertility specialist will immediately collect the eggs and prepare them for fertilisaton with sperm in a laboratory. Once the fertilised embryos have grown, they are transferred to your uterus using a technique similar to a pap smear.
Before you leave the hospital, your specialist well let you know how many eggs were collected and the next steps. You may experience cramping and discomfort after the egg collection.
