The egg retrieval starts with the preparation stage when the ovaries are stimulated to produce eggs and then monitored. Once the eggs reached the correct size, a dose of hCG(human chorionic gonadotropin) hormone is administered to trigger final maturation. 36 hours after this the eggs are retrieved. Normally the eggs retrieval is performed under moderate sedation and the donor sleeps right through the process.

The actual process of egg collection is known as ultrasound-guided transvaginal aspiration. An ultrasound probe projects the images of the ovary and other organs while a fine needle is inserted into the ovary. Viewing the magnified image via the ultrasound probe, the physician locates each individual follicle and gently sucks in the egg via the needle. This process is known as aspiration. The fluid and the egg are collected from each ovary and are taken to the lab for preparation before fertilization. The process takes up to 15 minutes. The donor is kept under observation for a couple of hours and can then go home.

The donor might experience little uneasiness, soreness or cramps after the process. Rest is advised. The patients are examined for signs and advised on a one to one basis. The medicines and sedatives might cause dizziness for some time. Hence it is advisable that the patient does not involve in any driving or any other strenuous activity.

The egg transfer happens three to five days after the egg retrieval process.

The egg retrieval process at Raipur IVF happens under the supervision of highly experienced physicians and gynecologists. The doctors have experience of success in several cases and thus have the confidence and vision to guide you through the process.

The entire procedure happens in the observation of highly trained staff and under the most stringent procedures.

Once the eggs are retrieved they are prepared clinically and then transferred back after 3-5 days. During this process, doctors will ensure that you receive good care and required medication so that your uterus is prepared for receiving the egg. After transferring the egg, pregnancy tests will be done to monitor the growth of the embryo and ensure that the pregnancy is proceeding normally.

Success rate at Raipur IVF

At Raipur IVF we ensure that the highest standards of medicine are upheld and all guidelines are followed. It is very difficult to predict the success rate for the egg retrieval process as the outcome depends on several factors like an individual patient medical characteristics, treatment approaches etc. Hence it would be unhealthy to give an exact success rate or compare with other clinics.

However, we will be definitely proud to discuss with you several cases that we have successfully assisted in this line of treatment.

The one golden rule that is applicable here is that success rate is most dependent on the age of the woman. So whereas a woman at 35 has a 50 % chance of becoming pregnant after the procedure for a woman aged 42 and above the rates are as low as 17-18%.
