IVF involves fertilising a woman’s eggs with sperm in the laboratory, then growing those embryos in an incubator for five days before the best one is selected to be transferred to the woman’s uterus.
This involves daily hormone injections to firstly mature the eggs, then an egg collection procedure under local anaesthetic to remove the eggs from the ovaries.
After transferring the best embryo if there are excess embryos suitable for freezing we will freeze them for use at a later date.
