WHAT IS THE PROCESS?
- First we start with a consultation and run tests to check your Ovarian Reserve “Egg Health” through Ultrasound and laboratory evaluation.
- You will then follow a hormone regime to stimulate the development and growth of your eggs.
- We will then schedule the Egg Retrieval procedure, which is where we take the eggs out of the ovary and put them in the lab.
