Understanding the IVF Process: A Step-by-Step Guide for Georgia Patients
Starting fertility treatment is a major step, and understanding what to expect can help you feel more confident and prepared. If you’re considering in vitro fertilization (IVF) and live in Georgia, this guide will walk you through the entire IVF process — from consultation to embryo transfer — and explain how Panama Fertility makes treatment accessible and supportive for U.S. patients.
What Is the IVF Process?
IVF (in vitro fertilization) is a fertility treatment where eggs are retrieved from the ovaries, fertilized with sperm in a lab, and then the resulting embryo is placed in the uterus.
This process can help overcome many causes of infertility, including:
- Blocked or damaged fallopian tubes
- Low sperm count or motility
- Hormonal or ovulatory disorders
- Endometriosis
- Unexplained infertility

Step-by-Step Breakdown of the IVF Process
1. Initial Consultation
At Panama Fertility, we begin with a virtual consultation for Georgia patients. Our specialists review your medical history, past treatments, and goals to build a personalized plan.
2. Fertility Testing
You and your partner (if applicable) will undergo testing to evaluate ovarian reserve, hormone levels, semen quality, and overall reproductive health. This helps tailor your protocol for the best results.
3. Ovarian Stimulation
Over 8–12 days, you’ll take hormonal medications to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple mature eggs.
- Regular ultrasounds and blood tests monitor follicle development.
- The goal is to maximize egg quantity while minimizing risks.
4. Egg Retrieval
Once follicles reach optimal size, a minor outpatient procedure is performed under sedation to collect the eggs.
- It takes about 20 minutes
- No incisions are made
- Most patients return to normal activities within 24–48 hours
5. Fertilization
Your eggs are combined with sperm in the lab. Depending on your case, traditional IVF or ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection) may be used.
- Embryos are monitored for 3–5 days
- The best quality embryos are selected for transfer or freezing
6. Embryo Transfer
A single embryo (or occasionally more) is transferred into the uterus through a simple, painless procedure.
- No anesthesia is needed
- You can resume light activity shortly afterward
- Extra embryos can be frozen for future use
7. Pregnancy Test
About 10–12 days later, you’ll take a blood test (beta hCG) to confirm whether implantation has occurred.
- A second test may follow to track hormone levels
- If positive, an early ultrasound is scheduled at 6–7 weeks

At Panama Fertility, we also offer:
- PGT-A (Preimplantation Genetic Testing): To select embryos with normal chromosomes
- Egg donation and sperm donation: For individuals or couples needing donor gametes
