- Egg Collection
A minor surgical procedure to collect mature eggs under sedation or light anesthetic.
- Fertilization
Eggs are fertilized with sperm in the laboratory, either through standard IVF or ICSI.
- Embryo Transfer
Selected embryo(s) are transferred to the uterus, with spare embryos frozen for future use.
