    The IVF process typically includes the following steps:<\/span><\/p>

    1. Ovarian stimulation<\/b> \u2013 Hormonal medications stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple mature eggs.<\/span>

      <\/span><\/li>
    2. Egg retrieval<\/b> \u2013 Eggs are collected through a minor outpatient procedure.<\/span>

      <\/span><\/li>
    3. Fertilization<\/b> \u2013 Eggs are combined with sperm in a lab. If needed, intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is used.<\/span>

      <\/span><\/li>
    4. Embryo development<\/b> \u2013 The fertilized eggs are monitored for several days as they develop into embryos.<\/span>

      <\/span><\/li>
    5. Embryo transfer<\/b> \u2013 One healthy embryo is placed in the uterus. Additional embryos can be frozen for future use.<\/span>

      <\/span><\/li>
    6. Pregnancy test<\/b> \u2013 A blood test confirms whether implantation was successful, usually 10\u201312 days after the transfer.<\/span>
