IVF is a journey of hope, with medical marvel and emotional hurdles. Let us break down the process, but remember, the road to parenthood through IVF is unique for everyone. ​

Here's a simplified breakdown:​

Consultation & Testing: Discuss your goals with a fertility specialist. Tests assess your reproductive health.​

Stimulation & Monitoring: Medications increase mature eggs. Close monitoring tracks progress.​

Egg Retrieval & S***m Collection: Eggs are collected using a guided needle. Your partner provides a s***m sample (or donor s***m is used).​

Fertilisation & Development: S***m and eggs are combined for fertilisation (or ICSI is used). Embryo development is monitored.​

Embryo Transfer: The most suitable embryo(s) are transferred into your uterus.​

Pregnancy Test & Follow-Up: A test confirms pregnancy. Regular checkups follow a successful transfer.​

IVF is a multi-step process with varying success rates. Emotional support and communication are key.​

❄️ Social egg freezing refers to the practice of freezing a woman's eggs for non-medical reasons, typically for the purpose of preserving fertility and family planning. It allows individuals, particularly women, to delay childbearing and have the option to use their frozen eggs in the future when they are ready to start a family. Social egg freezing is often chosen by women who may not have a current partner, want to focus on their careers, or have other personal circumstances that make it difficult to conceive at the present time ❄️

The concept of social egg freezing gained prominence due to advancements in reproductive technology, specifically in the field of assisted reproductive techniques. By freezing eggs, women can preserve their fertility potential, as eggs are more viable at a younger age. When they decide to use the frozen eggs, they can be fertilised with s***m through in vitro fertilisation (IVF) and transferred to the uterus for pregnancy.
