The egg retrieval procedure, known as puncture, refers to the collection of mature eggs from the ovaries. During the IVF cycle, the ovaries are stimulated with ovulation-inducing medications, causing the follicles to grow. When the follicles reach a size of about 16 to 18 mm, under the guidance of Dr. Pegah Keramati, the patient is instructed to take a follicle-releasing trigger shot. Approximately 36 hours later, the patient is ready for the egg retrieval procedure.
A light and mild anesthesia is administered, and the dominant follicles are retrieved through the vagina. The eggs are then combined with sperm in the laboratory, and the resulting embryos are frozen for future use.
Egg retrieval (puncture) is one of the critical stages in assisted reproductive treatments like in vitro fertilization (IVF). This procedure involves collecting eggs from a woman’s ovaries so they can be fertilized with sperm in the lab to create embryos. Puncture is a minor and simple procedure, usually performed under local anesthesia or mild sedation.
