The egg retrieval process is a quick, minimally invasive procedure performed under IV sedation, ensuring no harm to the eggs.

🔹 Procedure: Using an ultrasound-guided transvaginal probe, a fine needle punctures the follicles to aspirate the eggs. This needle system has two ports—one for gently aspirating follicular fluid and another for flushing follicles with a special medium. The system is connected to a low-power suction motor to ensure delicate handling.

🔹 Egg Handling: The retrieved fluid is sent to the IVF lab, where an embryologist identifies and separates the eggs under a stereozoom microscope. The eggs are then placed in a nutritious culture medium inside an incubator until fertilization.

🔹 Environment: The procedure is conducted in a sterile, temperature-controlled (37°C) laminar flow workstation with an ideal gas mixture to maintain egg viability.

⏳ Time: 30 minutes
