The sperm are then put through a high-speed wash and spin cycle in order to find the healthiest ones. Now comes the part of IVF that everyone's the most familiar with — combining the best sperm with your best eggs. This stage is called insemination. It usually takes a few hours for a sperm to fertilize an egg.
Your doctor may also inject the sperm directly into the egg instead, a process known as intracytoplasmic sperm injection ICSI. Once your eggs have been collected you'll receive yet another medication. This one is meant to prep the lining of your uterus to receive the embryos that will be transferred back into you. About three to five days after fertilization, your doctor will place the embryos in your uterus using a catheter.
Like step number three, this part of IVF is performed in your doctor's office while you are awake. You can use a panty liner to protect underwear.
In rare cases you could be allergic to these substances. Progesterone pessaries should be refrigerated to maintain their effectiveness. Crinone does not require refrigeration. Progynova is a synthetic oestrogen replacement. It is used to build up the lining of the uterus to prepare for embryo transfer during a frozen embryo transfer cycle.
Progynova is usually taken daily starting on day 1 of the menstrual cycle. We will give you dosage instruction before you start your cycle. The medication is taken until the day of your pregnancy test and, if the test confirms you are pregnant, you should continue to take the tablets for another six weeks. If the test is negative, you can stop the tablets and a period will start within a few days. Side effects are uncommon, but breast tenderness, gastric upset, nausea, headaches and an increase in weight have been reported.
The friendly and professional team at Life Fertility Clinic are happy to answer any other questions you may have about medications used in fertility treatment.
This fact sheet provides an overview of the medications that may be prescribed during fertility or IVF treatment, including an explanation of how and why they are used and some of the potential side effects. Administration These agents are taken orally, usually on days of the menstrual cycle and work by sending a message to the pituitary gland, telling it that it needs to start secreting, or to secrete more, follicle stimulating hormone FSH.
Your specialist or Nurse Coordinator will advise you on your particular dose and timing. Side effects of anti-oestrogens Normally any side effects of anti-oestrogens are mild.
Administration GnRH drugs are usually prescribed in combination with ovulation stimulation medications. GnRH antagonists Orgalutran and Cetrotide Orgalutran and Cetrotide are also used to prevent premature ovulation and are used in combination with follicle stimulating hormone FSH.
Administration These drugs should be injected under the skin once daily, usually starting on day 8 of FSH administration, or when follicles grow to approximately mm in size. Your specialist or Nurse Coordinator will advise you on your dose and timing.
Side effects of Orgalutran and Cetrotide Common side effects of these drugs include: Headaches Nausea Swelling or itching Redness at the site of injection Orgalutran may cause abdominal discomfort.
Storage Store below 25 degrees and protect from light. Administration FSH is delivered as pen injections under the skin. Side effects of Puregon and Gonal F Most common side effects include: Slight abdominal distension Mild abdominal discomfort Breast tenderness Bruising and irritation at the injection site Tiredness, especially on higher doses Multiple pregnancy The most severe side effect is: Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome OHSS.

Our lead nurses will discuss the benefits, the process and the reasons why you should consider donating your eggs. Typically, the semen sample is collected through masturbation. Other methods, such as testicular aspiration — the use of a needle or surgical procedure to extract sperm directly from the testicle — are sometimes required. Donor sperm also can be used. Sperm are separated from the semen fluid in the lab.
Typically, transvaginal ultrasound aspiration is used to retrieve eggs. During this procedure, an ultrasound probe is inserted into your vagina to identify follicles, and a needle is guided through the vagina and into the follicles.
The eggs are removed from the follicles through the needle, which is connected to a suction device. In intracytoplasmic sperm injection ICSI , a single healthy sperm is injected directly into each mature egg.
ICSI is often used when semen quality or number is a problem or if fertilization attempts during prior in vitro fertilization cycles failed. Three days after fertilization, a normally developing embryo will contain about six to 10 cells. By the fifth or sixth day, the fertilized egg is known as a blastocyst — a rapidly dividing ball of cells. The inner group of cells will become the embryo. The outer group will become the cells that nourish and protect it. Embryo transfer is done at your doctor's office or a clinic and usually takes place two to five days after egg retrieval.
If successful, an embryo will implant in the lining of your uterus about six to 10 days after egg retrieval. After the embryo transfer, you can resume your usual daily activities. However, your ovaries may still be enlarged.
Consider avoiding vigorous activity, which could cause discomfort. If you develop moderate or severe pain after the embryo transfer, contact your doctor. He or she will evaluate you for complications such as infection, twisting of an ovary ovarian torsion and severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. About 12 days to two weeks after egg retrieval, your doctor will test a sample of your blood to detect whether you're pregnant. The chances of giving birth to a healthy baby after using IVF depend on various factors, including:.
Talk with your doctor about any factors that apply to you and how they may affect your chances of a successful pregnancy.
