Ovarian Stimulation
Fertility medications stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple mature eggs. Regular ultrasounds and hormone tests monitor growth.

Egg Retrieval (Ovum Pick-Up)
The eggs are collected from the ovaries through a short, ultrasound-guided procedure under mild anesthesia.

Sperm Collection and Preparation
A semen sample is collected and processed to select healthy, motile sperm.

Fertilization
The sperm and eggs are combined in the lab. Sometimes, ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) is used, where a single sperm is injected directly into an egg.

Embryo Culture
The fertilized eggs (embryos) are cultured for 3–5 days under controlled lab conditions.

Embryo Transfer
One or more healthy embryos are transferred into the uterus using a thin catheter. The process is simple and painless.

Pregnancy Test
About two weeks later, a blood test checks for pregnancy.
