5 steps of the in vitro fertilization (IVF)
process Infertility is a really large problem in
the United States and all over the world, says 
Dr Priya Nanda, M.D., Shreya Hospital. In fact,
approximately one in eight couples who attempt
pregnancy has difficulty conceiving a child. With
the help of modern fertility treatment,
particularly in vitro fertilization (IVF),
couples are realizing their dreams of becoming
parents. In vitro fertilization is a great
technology to help couples conceive, says Dr
Priya Nanda. The process consists of five steps
3
Step 1 Medication The woman is given injection
hormones to stimulate healthy egg development.
IVF helps her produce more eggs than she would in
a normal month. In a typical ovulatory month, we
recruit and ovulate one egg, explains Dr. Priya
Nanda. With IVF, our goal is to make 10 or 15
eggs.

Step 2 Harvest the eggs Eggs are then collected
from the ovaries via a minor surgery during which
the woman is sedated and the eggs are retrieved
trans-vaginally. We use a small needle guide to
pass a needle over a trans-vaginal ultrasound to
remove fluid from the follicles, she
explains. On the same day, sperm is collected
from the male partner.

Step 3 Fertilization The egg and sperm are then
combined in a lab through varying technologies of
fertilization, such as intracytoplasmic sperm
injection (ICSI).

Step 4 Embryo culture The embryologists will
observe the embryos as they divide from two cells
to four cells and then eight cells, says Dr.
Priya Nanda. We watch as they have a growth,
sometimes up to five days out at the blastocyst
stage, where they have 100 or 125 cells.
7
Step 5 Embryo transfer During an embryo
transfer, a womans uterus is watched by
ultrasound and a small catheter is placed into
the uterine cavity through the cervix. The
embryo(s) are then placed in the uterus. Ten days
later, the woman returns to the clinic for a
blood test to determine if shes pregnant.

Going through IVF is a process that we endure
together, says Dr. Priya Nanda. A really
exciting moment is getting to make a phone call
to a patient giving her the great news that it
has worked and her pregnancy test is positive.
Its one of the most exciting phone calls I get
to make.
