The process typically involves several steps over a few weeks:
Consultation: Meet with a fertility specialist to discuss the procedure, risks, and success rates. Ovarian Stimulation: Hormonal medications are administered to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs. Monitoring: Regular ultrasound and blood tests are conducted to monitor the development of the eggs. Egg Retrieval: Once the eggs are mature, they are retrieved through a minor surgical procedure. Freezing: The retrieved eggs are frozen and stored for future use.
