How long the egg collection lasts?

The egg retrieval operation is a fairly quick procedure.

Unfortunately, the amount of time depends on the number of present follicles. Also, the ovaries accessibility (meaning how easy you can reach them by using an ultrasound probe) it will influence the procedure. When using the probe, they tend to move around. The average time is 20-30 minute.

Is the retrieval procedure painful?

This surgery is done under anesthesia, so the patient is anesthetized throughout the procedure.

Collecting the eggs can damage the ovaries?

Surely not.

There are many women who have undergone this procedure several times. The fact that they have responded to ovarian stimulation each time (they thus produced eggs) demonstrates that their ovaries were in perfect condition after the procedures.

Bleedings can occur after the procedure?

Vaginal bleeding may occur after the procedure.

Usually this bleeding occurs due to bites which are in the vaginal wall. The amount of blood is small, just a little. It resembles with the one produced after a blood collection from the vein.

Is it normal to sample one egg from each follicle?

Not necessarily.

There are taken only the mature eggs from the ovarian follicles.

Is the embryo transfer procedure painful?

Embryo transfer does not require anesthesia.

It is not painful and it is done with a special device.

After the procedure is it recommended staying in bed?

It is not necessary.

Normally, the embryo is swimming freely into the endometrial cavity a number of days after the transfer; this is how things go after IVF. Regular daily activities are not banned.

Which is the average number of transferred embryos?

The decision is taken considering the patient's age and her desire.

As a general rule, there are three embryos which are transferred to the women under 35 and more than 4 to the ones past 35. If embryos are of good quality, some couples prefer to be transferred only 2 from all.

Which are the chances of having twins?

Approximately 25-30% of pregnancies are multiple.

In most cases they are twins. The occurrence rate is 5% of triplets and regarding quadruplets is less than 1%.

What can be done to increase the quality of the embryos?

Nothing.

An embryo is poor quality for genetic reasons.

What happens to the embryos that were not transferred?

Embryos that were not used are kept in a freezer indefinitely, the freezing procedure being done the day after obtaining them. There are kept only those embryos that are normal and which show normal cell division. Embryos are thawed and used when the treatment had failed.
