Egg retrieval:

   The follicle development drugs are applied for about 10 days, and the follicles mature. At this time, the eggs can be retrieved through the vaginal vault puncture under the guidance of B-ultrasound. The egg retrieval is a small operation, which can be performed under general anesthesia or under local anesthesia. Under the guidance of a vaginal ultrasound system, the egg retrieval needle was passed through the vagina and reached the ovary to suck the egg. The laboratory staff immediately moved the sucked egg under the microscope to a petri dish containing embryo culture medium, and placed it in an incubator at 37°C. In the cultivation. Because intravaginal ultrasonic inhalation is a minor operation, some doctors only use painkillers instead of general anesthesia in order to save patients' costs. Generally, the egg retrieval time is within 30 minutes. After the egg retrieval, the patient has only slight pain and a very small amount of bleeding, and can go home after resting for 1-2 hours, which will not affect daily work and life.

  Embryo Transfer:

   One of the most important operations in IVF treatment is embryo transfer, which means that the embryo is loaded into a special tube and sent to the main uterine cavity. There are three types of embryos: fresh embryos, blastocysts and frozen embryos. Generally, fresh embryo transfer is preferred, and the fertilized egg is cultured for three days for transplantation; according to the patient’s wishes or needs, the culture time will be extended to five days, that is, blastocyst transplantation; generally in fresh embryos or blastocysts After the transfer, the remaining embryos are frozen and stored as frozen embryos. However, if necessary, the fresh embryos can be frozen at the beginning and wait for the appropriate time before embryo transfer. Usually two to three embryos are transferred at the same time. Embryo transfer is generally a process in which embryos are transferred to the uterus through the vagina with an embryo transfer tube by an embryologist under the guidance of ultrasound. This process is usually completed in a few minutes, and rest in bed for 2-4 hours after the transfer. The whole process is very painful and generally does not require hospitalization.
