egg retrieval

How is Egg Retrieval Performed?

The process involves several steps:
Ovarian Stimulation: Hormonal medications are administered to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs.
Monitoring: Regular ultrasounds and blood tests are conducted to monitor the growth and development of the ovarian follicles.
Trigger Shot: Once the follicles are mature, a trigger shot of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is given to induce final maturation of the eggs.
Egg Retrieval: Approximately 36 hours after the trigger shot, the eggs are retrieved using a transvaginal ultrasound-guided needle aspiration.
