The IVF process step by step

An Indian fertility specialist walks through an IVF cycle: ovarian stimulation, monitoring scans and blood tests, egg collection, fertilisation in the laboratory, embryo culture and embryo transfer.

A clear orientation to what an IVF (test tube baby) cycle involves from start to finish, with Dr Ambika Devi.

Antega has not repeated the egg numbers by age or the success figures quoted in the original video description. Egg numbers, protocol choice and the decision between a fresh and a frozen transfer are individual and are set by your own registered ART clinic.

Key takeaways

  • An IVF cycle usually moves through stimulation, monitoring, egg collection, fertilisation, embryo culture and transfer.
  • Your protocol, scan schedule and transfer plan are individual to you.
  • Not every cycle reaches every stage; your clinic will explain any change of plan.
