In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) is a type of assisted reproductive treatment designed to help you become pregnant. In simple terms, it involves bringing eggs and sperm together in a carefully controlled laboratory environment to support fertilisation and early embryo development.
IVF works by gently recreating what would normally happen in the fallopian tube, but in away that gives us more visibility and control. Instead of releasing just one egg, as happens in a natural cycle, IVF allows us to collect several eggs at once. This gives you a greater chance of developing a healthy embryo and can help reduce the overall time to achieving a pregnancy.
Once the eggs are collected, a semen sample (fresh or frozen) is carefully prepared in the laboratory. This process removes less active sperm and any debris, allowing us to select the healthiest, most motile sperm. Our embryology team then combines the eggs and sperm in precise conditions to give fertilisation the best possible chance of success.
Overnight, the sperm begin their natural journey towards the eggs, just as they would in the body. The following day, our embryologists check each egg for signs of fertilisation, a milestone that shows the DNA from both egg and sperm has come together and early embryo development has begun.
After insemination, your eggs are carefully placed into our incubators, where they are kept in a highly controlled and supportive environment overnight. This allows time for the sperm to naturally find and fertilise the eggs.
The following day, our embryology team gently assesses each egg to see whether fertilisation has occurred. From there, your embryos are placed into our advanced time-lapse incubators, which allow us to monitor their development continuously without disturbing their environment.
We know this stage can feel both exciting and emotional, so keeping you informed is an important part of our care. You will receive a call from your embryologist the day after your egg collection to share your fertilisation results. After that, we will stay in touch every couple of days with updates on how your embryos are developing.
Your embryos will usually be cultured in the laboratory for up to 6 days, giving them time to grow and develop before a decision is made about transfer or freezing. Throughout this process, our team is here to guide you, answer your questions, and support you every step of the way.
While IVF is a safe and widely used treatment, like any medical procedure, there are some risks to be aware of. Our team will always discuss these with you in detail and support you throughout your journey.Some of the potential risks include:
Multiple pregnancy – If more than one embryo is transferred, there is a higher chance of twins or multiples, which can increase the risk of complications such as early delivery and low birth weight.
OHSS (Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome) – In response to fertility medications, the ovaries can occasionally become swollen and uncomfortable. Symptoms are usually mild and short-lived, but in rare cases may be more serious.
Miscarriage – The risk of miscarriage with IVF is similar to natural conception and increases with age.
Procedure-related risks – Egg collection is a minimally invasive procedure, but as with any procedure, there is a small risk of bleeding, infection, or reaction to sedation.
Ectopic pregnancy – A small number of pregnancies may implant outside the uterus and cannot continue normally.
Emotional impact – IVF can be physically and emotionally demanding. We encourage patients to access support, and we are here to guide you every step of the way.Research does not show a significant increase in cancer risk from IVF treatment, and most babies conceived through IVF are born healthy.At Oasis, your safety and wellbeing are at the centre of everything we do. We will take the time to explain your individual risks and tailor your treatment to give you the best possible outcome.
Before beginning IVF, there are a few important decisions to think about. Your specialist will guide you through these, so you feel informed and supported at every step.
How many embryos to transfer – This is carefully considered based on your individual circumstances, including age and embryo quality, to balance success rates and safety.
What happens to extra embryos – Any additional embryos may be frozen for future use, which can make future treatment simpler and less invasive. Some patients also choose to donate or not keep unused embryos, depending on their personal preferences.At Oasis, we take the time to talk through these options with you, so you can make choices that feel right for you and your family.
IVF is a structured process that happens over a couple of weeks. While every journey is unique, most IVF cycles follow these five key steps. Our team will guide you through each stage so you always know what to expect.
Step 1: Ovarian stimulation and monitoring
Your IVF journey begins with medications to gently stimulate your ovaries to produce more than one egg. This gives you a greater chance of developing viable embryos.During this time, we’ll monitor your progress closely with blood tests and ultrasound scans to see how your follicles (which contain the eggs) are developing. When the timing is right, you’ll have a “trigger” injection to help the eggs mature and prepare for collection.
Step 2: Egg retrieval
Egg collection is a short, minimally invasive procedure performed under sedation for your comfort.Using ultrasound guidance, your doctor will collect the eggs from your ovaries. The procedure usually takes around 15–20 minutes, and most patients go home the same day. It’s normal to feel some mild cramping or bloating afterwards.Your eggs are then carefully assessed and placed into our laboratory to begin the next stage.
Step 3: Sperm collection
On the same day as egg collection, a sperm sample is prepared. This may be from a partner or a donor, depending on your treatment plan. In some cases, sperm can be collected surgically if needed.Our laboratory team carefully prepares the sample to select the healthiest sperm for fertilisation.
Step 4: Fertilisation
Fertilisation is where eggs and sperm are brought together to create embryos. This can happen in two ways:
• Standard IVF - where the eggs and sperm are combined and left to fertilise naturally
• ICSI - where a single sperm is carefully injected into each egg (often used when there are sperm-related factors)Your embryologist will select the best approach to give you the highest chance of success.
Step 5: Embryo development and transfer
Once fertilised, your embryos are monitored closely in our laboratory as they grow for up to 6 days.Usually on day 5, an embryo may then be transferred into your uterus using a gentle, straightforward procedure that usually doesn’t require sedation. Additional suitable embryos can be frozen for future use.After your embryo transfer, you can continue with most normal daily activities, although we recommend taking things gently.
Waiting for your result
Around 2 weeks after your egg collection, a blood test will confirm whether you are pregnant.We understand this waiting period can feel emotional and our team is here to support you throughout. Whatever the outcome, we will guide you on the next steps and continue working with you towards your goal.
Every fertility journey is different. Factors such as age, embryo quality, medical history and underlying fertility conditions can influence success rates. At Oasis, we take the time to understand your individual circumstances and tailor your treatment plan to give you the best possible chance of a healthy pregnancy.
Starting or continuing your fertility journey can feel uncertain, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. Here, you’ll find thoughtful care, clear guidance, and a team that genuinely listens. Whatever your next step looks like, we’ll meet you there - with honesty, compassion, and the time you need to move forward with confidence.
