In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF)
Treatment in which eggs are fertilised with sperm in the laboratory.
From assessment to egg retrieval
Drawing on her experience in obstetrics, gynaecology and IVF, Dr Ulviyye Agamirova reviews previous treatment, ultrasound findings, ovarian reserve and semen results. When appropriate, medication stimulates the ovaries. The team monitors follicle development and schedules egg retrieval.
Laboratory, transfer and follow-up
The laboratory monitors embryos after fertilisation. The team assesses when an embryo can be transferred and whether suitable embryos can be frozen for later use. A pregnancy test follows transfer. The consultation covers ovarian overstimulation and the risk of multiple pregnancy when more than one embryo is transferred.
