Embryo creation is a vital stage of IVF where advanced science meets personalized care. At Shivam IVF, under Dr Bhavana Mittal’s expertise and known for the Best IVF Treatment in Delhi, eggs are fertilized in a state-of-the-art lab to create healthy embryos. Each step is carefully monitored to maximize pregnancy success.
Hormonal stimulation
The woman is given fertility medications to stimulate the ovaries.
These medicines help produce multiple mature eggs rather than just one.
Monitoring
Ultrasounds and blood tests track the development of the egg.
Egg retrieval
Mature eggs are collected through a minor procedure under anesthesia.
Sperm collection
A semen sample is collected from the male partner or donor.
Sperm processing
Healthy, motile sperm are selected in the laboratory.
Poor-quality or abnormal sperm are removed.
Conventional IVF
Eggs and sperm are placed together in a culture dish.
Fertilization occurs naturally under lab conditions.
ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection)
A single healthy sperm is injected directly into an egg.
Recommended in cases of low sperm count or poor sperm quality.
Initial cell division
Once fertilized, the egg becomes a zygote.
The zygote starts dividing into multiple cells.
Embryo development
Day 2–3: Embryo divides into 4–8 cells.
Day 5: Embryo reaches the blastocyst stage, which has higher implantation potential.
Grading of embryos
Embryos are evaluated based on cell division and structure.
Selection of the best embryo
The healthiest embryo is selected for transfer.
Genetic testing (if required)
Embryos may be screened for genetic abnormalities in certain cases.
Fresh embryo transfer
The selected embryo is transferred into the uterus.
Embryo freezing
Extra healthy embryos are frozen for future use.
Frozen embryos maintain high survival and success rates.
