In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a complex series of procedures used to help with fertility or prevent genetic problems and assist with the conception of a child. During IVF, mature eggs are collected (retrieved) from ovaries and fertilized by sperm in a lab.
IVF lab process
The IVF laboratory is a critical part of the in vitro fertilization (IVF) process. The eggs that are harvested are placed into dishes where they will be counted and evaluated.
During IVF, mature eggs are collected (retrieved) from ovaries and fertilized by sperm in a lab. Then the fertilized egg (embryo) or eggs (embryos) are transferred to a uterus. One full cycle of IVF takes about three weeks. Sometimes these steps are split into different parts and the process can take longer. Under normal circumstances, the sperm fertilizes the egg in the woman's reproductive system. In the case of IVF, this process happens in an incubator that mimics the environmental conditions of the woman's womb. Every patient who walks into an IVF clinic interferes with the air quality.
