#1
Egg
Retrieval
Our laboratory is a vital part of the IVF procedure. We first place harvested and collected eggs into a petri dish where they will be counted and evaluated by our very experienced embryology team.
#2
Egg Count & Evaluation
Hours after the egg retrieval, fertilization begins by placing a concentrated amount of sperm with the egg or by ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection). Several hours later the fertilized eggs are further evaluated.
#3
Parent DNA
The fertilized eggs contain half of the female’s DNA and half of the male’s DNA. The genetic material is united to form the DNA that will become an embryo.
#4
Embryo Maintenance
The embryos grow in our high-tech incubators for 5-6 days with an ambiance similar to that of a female’s fallopian tube. Our embryology team maintains the ideal pH balance of carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and other nutrients that promote the healthiest embryo growth.
