Stage 1: Ovulation stimulation, starting from the 2nd or 3rd day of the cycle. Modern methods allow for the use of "soft" stimulation protocols tailored to each individual.
Stage 2: Follicle aspiration is performed on the 13th to 15th day of the cycle. The choice of the day depends on the stimulation protocol and the degree of egg maturation.
Stage 3: Fertilization. The most motile and healthy sperm are placed in a special container with the egg, where self-fertilization occurs.
Stage 4: Embryo culture. The fertilized egg is placed in a special nutrient medium and transferred to an incubator, where the embryo develops, while an integrated monitoring system observes its development continuously.
Stage 5: Transfer of embryos into the uterus. This process is completely painless and takes no more than one minute. Anesthesia is not required.

In the IVF procedure, sperm and eggs are mixed in a dish, where fertilization occurs naturally. In ICSI, the embryologist selects the best sperm and injects it into the egg using a micropipette.

Yes, moreover, IVF can even increase the chances of achieving pregnancy shortly after an unsuccessful attempt. Natural conception after an unsuccessful IVF cycle becomes more likely because a woman undergoing IVF preparation receives treatment, which can temporarily improve her reproductive health. During IVF, the woman receives hormonal stimulation. The effects of the hormones last for several months after stopping the medication.

Usually it takes 15-17 days from the beginning of stimulation to embryo transfer. Ovulation stimulation takes 10 days and another 5 days for the embryos to develop in the incubator to the blastocyst stage

Hormonal stimulation during IVF is conducted over a short period and does not disrupt hormone balance in the long term, thus not affecting the woman’s health.

Generally, from the start of stimulation to the embryo transfer takes 15-17 days. The stimulation lasts 10 days, and the embryos develop in the incubator for another 5 days until the blastocyst stage.

The probability of twins during IVF is due to the fact that not one embryo, but two, can be transferred to a woman's uterus. Transferring two embryos increases the risk of developing multiple pregnancies, so in most cases, one embryo is now transferred. Single embryo transfer does not reduce the chances of a successful pregnancy and does not exclude the possibility of embryo separation after transfer. The issue of the number of transferred embryos is decided individually.

 In fact, the probability of pregnancy using a frozen embryo is higher than with a fresh one. This is because there is no ovulation stimulation prior to such a transfer, meaning that the endometrium thickness remains unchanged.

 Diabetes does not impact IVF, but it is important to manage diabetes before the procedure to minimize complications during pregnancy.

With your written consent, the clinic places the embryos in a cryopreservation store so that you can use them whenever you wish, or dispose of them. The contract with the clinic is signed for a certain period, after which you must extend or complete it.
