About ovarian stimulation
IVF + ICSI
Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is a powerful assisted reproductive technology (ART) that is usually performed in cases of male infertility.
IUI | Ovarian Stimulation
IUI
IUI is most often prescribed as an infertility treatment in cases where couples have been unsuccessfully attempting to have a baby for at least a year and other causes of infertility have been ruled out.
Ovarian stimulation | Mini IVF
Mini IVF
Minimal stimulation IVF, also referred to as mini IVF, uses lower doses of fertility medication than traditional IVF during the egg stimulation process and sometimes at egg retrieval.
Ovarian Stimulation | Natural cycle IVF
Natural Cycle IVF
Natural Cycle IVF is an IVF treatment without the use of stimulation drugs. During the Natural Cycle IVF, only the follicles naturally formed during the menstrual cycle are used for treatment.
The IVF + ICSI Process
Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is a powerful assisted reproductive technology (ART) that is usually performed in cases of male infertility. It is a major advance in modern fertility treatment because it enables fertility specialists to directly address the problem of male factor infertility. The procedure directly introduces an individual sperm cell into each of the eggs obtained during the IVF process. The resulting embryo is then transferred to the uterus to initiate pregnancy. ICSI has proven to be a truly revolutionary technology, giving new hope to many couples who had previously been unable to conceive.
An IVF-ICSI procedure includes several steps that may vary per patient, according to the prescribed treatment plan.
At First IVF, our process commonly involves:
Step 1
Ovarian Stimulation
Women usually produce one egg from their ovaries during normal ovulation. In order to increase the chances of fertilization, we give the patient fertility medication at the start of her menstrual cycle to encourage the release of multiple eggs through ovarian stimulation.
Step 2
Egg Retrieval
Eggs are retrieved through a minor surgical procedure that uses ultrasound imaging to guide a hollow needle through the pelvic cavity to remove the eggs. Medication is provided to reduce and remove potential discomfort.
Step 3
Sperm Collection & ICSI
On the day of egg retrieval, a semen sample is taken to fertilize the retrieved eggs. To increase chances of fertilization, a single sperm is injected into each egg using a precision needle.
Step 4
Embryo Transfer
Finally, we transfer the embryo in a minor procedure that does not require sedation.

Ovarian Stimulation

The process of stimulating the ovaries to produce multiple mature eggs in a single cycle is a crucial step in the IVF process. There will be a higher chance of successful fertilization and embryo growth due to this significant increase in the number of eggs.

How It Works:
  • Fertility Medications: Patients receive hormonal injections to stimulate the ovaries, encouraging the growth of multiple follicles, each potentially containing an egg.
  • Monitoring Progress: Throughout the stimulation phase, regular blood tests and ultrasound examinations monitor hormone levels and follicle development to ensure optimal response and adjust medication dosages as needed.
  • Triggering Ovulation: Once the follicles reach the desired size, a trigger injection induces final egg maturation, preparing them for retrieval.

At First IVF, our experienced team tailors ovarian stimulation protocols to each individual’s needs, maximizing the potential for a successful outcome while minimizing risks. Our top priorities are the comfort and safety of our patients, and we offer complete assistance all along the way.
