Inside the IVF Lab: A Step-by-Step Guide to What Happens Behind the Scenes

What happens behind closed doors in an IVF lab might seem like a mystery. But understanding the process can empower you as a patient.

At Dr. Jasmine Kaur’s IVF centre, here’s what typically happens:

1. Egg Retrieval: Eggs are collected from the ovaries under sedation.

2. Sperm Collection: Either from the partner or a donor.

3. Fertilization: Eggs and sperm are combined to create embryos.

4. Embryo Culture: Embryos are monitored for growth and quality for 3-5 days.

5. Embryo Transfer: One or more embryos are transferred to the uterus.

6. Cryopreservation: Extra embryos can be frozen for future use.

Each step is handled in a sterile, high-tech lab under expert supervision. Transparency, safety, and care are top priorities at Dr. Jasmine’s IVF center.
