The IVF therapy starts with a hormonal ovarian stimulation aiming at ripenning several follicles within the ovaries. Through this procedure, chances to obtain a pregnancy increase considerably. The Doctor then removes the oocytes from the vagina using a fine needle under ultrasound control in the ART Viollier laboratory (Assisted Reproductive Technology). This procedure takes place in presence of an anesthesiologist whose task is to make sure that the patient doesn't feel any pain. However, this is not a narcosis. Later, the oocytes are being brought to the sperms in a test tube. The inseminated oocytes will then be introduced into the womb. This method is particularly wise when the fallopian tubes are blocked.
