After 34-38 hours after the introduction of the hormonal medicine for the final maturation of the eggs, the woman comes to the clinic with an empty stomach for the eggs aspiration.
- As this procedure is quite painful, it is performed under intravenous analgesia.
- Under careful ultrasonic control, a doctor punctures the vaginal wall with a thin long needle and, with the help of a syringe attached to the needle, sucks out all the fluid along with the eggs from the follicles, and then passes it to the embryologist, who confirms the presence of eggs under a microscope, counts their number and places them in a special environment for further fertilization.
- Depending on the number of follicles that need to be punctured, the procedure can take from 10 to 20 minutes.
