Laboratory

Between retrieval and transfer

What the laboratory is doing in the days you are not in the procedure room.

After eggs are collected, the work moves to the laboratory. Eggs are identified, sperm are prepared, and fertilization is either conventional IVF or ICSI, as the plan agreed. Embryos are cultured for the days your physician set.

What you hear back The numbers — eggs, fertilization, embryos — come to you through the clinical team, not as a raw laboratory sheet left unexplained. Freezing is arranged for embryos that are not transferred, when there are embryos to store.

The photograph This picture stands in for the laboratory until photographs of the actual room are uploaded. It is not a claim about the benches or the incubators in Amman.
