What is an Egg Retrieval Mexico?

It is the process in which one of our specialists, after about 12-13 days of ovarian stimulation, collects the patient’s eggs using a special needle guided by a transvaginal ultrasound. Of course, the patient will be under sedation during the entire procedure, so she will not feel pain after the puncture.

How long does the Egg Retrieval process take?

The time needed to retrieve the Eggs from the Follicles will depend on how many follicles developed, and if the Ovaries are in an accessible position. The higher the number of mature follicles, the longer the time invested in the process. This can take around 30 minutes. There is a recovery period so please schedule the entire day around this process.  

Ovarian Stimulation Process

The Egg Retrieval, for any female performing an IVF Mexico, will be performed when the Medical Specialist has determined that the Follicular Development has reached maturity. There is a specific size the follicle must grow for it to be considered mature and be able to be retrieved. An important fact to consider is that even though there are maturing Follicles, does not necessarily mean that there is an actual Egg within the Follicle. A lot of the time the Follicle will respond to the Stimulation Medication but will not produce or create an Egg.

There are important quality factors that must be considered when performing an Ovarian Stimulation.

No response to the Stimulation Medication:

It is very common that women do not respond to the hormone treatments that are meant to create Eggs, this can be caused by a specific identifiable fertility issue that would have been encountered prior to the IVF Mexico.

Low Response to the Stimulation Medication:

When the body is not able to process the medication correctly, the result is seen in the Ovaries or the Eggs that are retrieved.

Good response but low-quality Eggs:

When there is a good stimulation and a good Egg Retrieval, the Eggs are then fertilized via ICSI Fertilization, this is the moment of truth, where we see the development of the Embryos and the quality of the baby being created.

There will be abnormalities identified that will cause for the Embryos to be discarded due to non-compatibility to life or other health issues they may have. Our Embryologist will make the decision of continuing the development or discarding of the Bad Quality Embryos.

Hyperstimulation:

Not only can the Ovaries underperform, but they can also overperform. When the Ovaries respond too much to the Stimulation Medication, this can cause a process known as Hyperstimulation. This is when the Ovaries are stretched to their limits and there are too many Follicles developing.

All IVF Mexico or Egg Donation IVF Mexico treatments progress in stages, each stage will give the indications for the next one. Depending on the results of the stages will the progress be identified.

 We have become experts in anticipating the negative issues that are likely to arise when performing a fertility treatment. All we ask is that you place your trust in LIV Fertility Center so that we can show you that we are the best and well equipped to handle anything that life throws our way.
