IVF at Santa Monica Fertility

Hi flor!

I’m so happy to hear that, it cheers me up. Could you explain me how an IVF looks like? Did you experience any side effects? I heard they have to perform a surgery to extract your eggs, is this true? I thought they would just inseminate you with your partner’s sperm.

No, what you mean is artificial insemination, that’s a different procedure. Maybe you don’t need IVF, what is your diagnosis?

Hi cassis

Just like Flor said, in artificial insemination, the doctor will insert the previously processed sperm of your husband, or if necessary from a sperm donor, into the patient’s uterus with a insemination cannula. This is the simplest assisted reproduction treatment and used for minor infertility issues.

In vitro fertilization (IVF), on the other hand, is a complex fertility treatment that involves the collection of eggs from the woman’s ovaries by means of a small surgery (follicle puncture). Then, they are fertilized at the laboratory using the husband’s or partner’s sperms. The development of the resulting embryos is monitored until the embryo or embryos selected are transferred back to the woman’s uterus. Read more about the differences between these two treatments here: Differences between artificial insemination and IVF.

Hope this helps,

Best regards
