Transfer
The day after hatching, the embryo is transferred to the uterus where it will hopefully implant and result in a successful pregnancy.

Thinning or Rupture
The embryo is held with a specialized holding pipette. A very delicate, hollow needle is used to expel the acidic solution against the outer “shell” (zona pellucida) of the embryo. The acidic solution creates a small hole in the shell.

Egg Retrieval
A transvaginal ultrasound aspiration is used to retrieve eggs from the ovaries. The procedure is a minimally invasive, non-surgical and always conducted under sedation. The procedure itself lasts 10-20 minutes.
