Process of Natural IVF Cycle

The menstrual cycle is monitored through ultrasounds and blood tests to understand the time of ovulation. Prior to ovulation, the egg that is released every month is extracted and fertilized with the sperm in a laboratory. The fertilized egg is monitored before being implanted inside the woman’s uterus through a catheter.
