The first stage involves stimulating the ovaries with medication to achieve the maturation of multiple eggs, instead of just one, as occurs in a natural cycle. This multiple maturation process lasts approximately 10 to 12 days. The process can begin in the patient’s own clinic in in their country of residence and end in the fertility center.
The second phase of the treatment is the egg retrieval, a procedure that is performed in the operating room under sedation, with an approximate duration of 10 to 15 minutes with a rapid recovery period. The eggs are extracted vaginally, and simultaneously the partner provides a semen sample. This continues with the union of the gametes in the laboratory to achieve fertilization. After 3 to 5 days of incubation, the embryos will have grown and can be transferred into the uterus. This is an outpatient procedure that does not require anesthesia.
Furthermore, at the end of the treatment cycle, embryos can be obtained that are not transferred during the first attempt, but can be cryopreserved for use in other transfers as a second opportunity to become pregnant.

An IVF cycle ends here, however, if pregnancy is not achieved in the first cycle. This treatment program allows for three more attempts at IVF. Each treatment cycle may result in additional embryos that are not transferred in the first attempt but can be cryopreserved for use in other transfers as a new opportunity to become pregnant.
This procedure requires the use of medication to prepare the future mother, which helps with the growth of the inner layer of the uterus (endometrium). The aim is to ensure that the embryos produced in the laboratory with the sperm of the partner (or of a donor) are received in the best conditions. The eggs of the donor have been selected previously through the Center for Assisted Reproduction, under strict criteria and take into account the preferences of the recipient couple.
When the laboratory has successfully obtained the embryos, which are a product of the donated egg and sperm, the embryos are transferred on their third or fifth day of development to the uterus of the future mother. This is an outpatient procedure that does not require anesthesia and lasts a maximum of 15 minutes.

Egg cryopreservation begins with an evaluation by the treating physician on the first day of the menstrual period. The first stage involves stimulating the ovaries with medication to achieve the maturation of multiple eggs, instead of just one, as occurs in a natural cycle. This multiple maturation process lasts approximately 10 to 12 days. The process can begin in the patient’s own clinic in their home country/ in their country of residence and end in the fertility center.
The second phase of the treatment is egg retrieval, a procedure that is performed in the operating room under sedation, lasting approximately 10 to 15 minutes and with a short recovery period. The eggs are extracted vaginally and delivered to the laboratory where those that are in a suitable state of maturity are selected for cryopreservation.
In some cases, several ovarian stimulations may be necessary to accumulate a sufficient number of eggs to be able to offer a genuine opportunity for future fertility.
