How long does the In vitro process take?

In vitro fertilization is one of the most popular ways to help women who have difficulty getting pregnant. This process involves supporting egg development in the patient through hormonal therapy, extracting eggs for external insemination and implantation of fertilized egg into the patient's uterus. The length of the in vitro process is variable depending on the patient's ability to conceive. After about 40 days to two months of preparation, the only in vitro fertilization cycle takes about three to four weeks. Some patients may have to undergo several cycles before successful pregnancy, so the In vitro process takes several months. This can take anywhere from 20 to 36 days, due to normal cycles. During this time, the patient may undergo medical and psychological testing to see if fertilization is in vitro viable options.

After the initial cycle, the patient will have to undergo hormonal therapy during another menstrual cycle. This in vitro process includes medicines that increase productionEgg cells in women. Depending on the drug used and the patient's body chemistry, this may result in one to seven or more healthy eggs. This will take another 20 to 36 days, provided the patient has relatively regular cycles.

Then doctors test the patient's blood to determine whether the egg cells are prepared. If the results are favorable, the eggs can be extracted from the patient's ovaries. The whole procedure, from preparation to completion, can take several hours. Freshly extracted eggs will be tested for viability, the best sample will be used for the next phase of the In vitro and MDPopel process; fertilization. Patients may sometimes decide to be frozen for the later use of other viable samples.

The fertilization of the extracted egg is carried out in the laboratory and can take about an hour for several minutes. If artificial insemination is successful, fertilized eggs will be maintained in BezpStorage for about three to four weeks. This ensures that eggs develop in a viable zygot sufficiently healthy to survive the implantation during the next part of the in vitro process. About two weeks after the implantation, the patient will be examined to see if the pregnancy has been successful. If pregnancy fails at any moment, the patient will have to undergo the entire in vitro process again.
