The whole process of egg retrieval surgery

In vitro fertilization generally involves several steps: ovulation induction, egg retrieval, transplantation, and progesterone application. In vitro fertilization egg retrieval is a surgical procedure during the in vitro fertilization cycle. About 36 hours after the injection of the egg-breaking needle, under the guidance of B-ultrasound, the egg retrieval needle is passed through the vagina to reach the uterus and ovaries to extract the egg cells. The operation usually takes 10-20 minutes.
