Best IVF Treatment Centre in HSR Layout, Bangalore
Usually a women produces one egg (oocyte) every month. This egg is released from the ovary at the time of ovulation and transported to the Fallopian tube, where it meets the sperm and gets fertilized. This fertilized egg grows into an embryo , which travels to the uterus to attach and grow.
In IVF, the ovaries are stimulated to develop multiple eggs. These eggs are collected directly from the ovary before ovulation (under anaesthesia ) and are fertilized with male partners sperm in the laboratory. The fertilized eggs ( embryos) are incubated for a period of 3 to 5 days. 1 or 2 of these embryos are selected and transferred into the uterus of the female partner through a thin embryotransfer catheter. A couple's own eggs and sperm can be used for the procedure. Alternatively, IVF can be performed with eggs or sperms from donors.
