Embryo Transfer
Following harvesting of your eggs (egg retrieval), eggs will be fertilized either through conventional IVF or through intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). Your fertilized eggs will be kept in the laboratory and observed over the next 3 to 5 days. During this time, you fertilized eggs (embryos) will be splitting and growing. Embryo transfer will be performed on day 3 or 5 depending on the number of the embryos you have and their progress in the laboratory. Our Team will be in contact with you to inform you about the progress of your embryos.
