Oocyte Pickup
About Oocyte Pickup
Oocyte Pickup, also known as egg retrieval, is a key step in IVF treatment. It involves collecting mature eggs from a woman’s ovaries using a minimally invasive procedure under sedation. These eggs are then fertilized in the lab. It’s a safe, quick process essential for successful assisted reproduction.
