Ovum Pick-Up Or Egg Collection

Ovum pick-up or egg collection procedure at egg collection centers in Mahabubnagar comprises transvaginal aspiration of oocytes from the ovarian follicle utilizing an ultrasound probe. The oocytes are then fertilized in vitro around the same time as egg retrieval and reserved in the incubator.

Procedure

Ovum pickup at the IVF center in Mahabubnagar is a non-invasive procedure where the patient is advised not to eat anything for no less than 6 hours and not to drink anything for no less than 4 hours before the procedure.

Before the procedure, the patient is asked to empty her bladder. The ovum pick-up procedure is done under general or local intravenous sedation. During the procedure, a thin long needle is passed through the vaginal fornix under ultrasound guidance. The ultrasound guidance helps in picturing the ovaries and eggs containing follicles. The tip of the needle is placed into every follicle to suction follicular fluid containing oocytes. It normally requires 15-30 minutes for ovum pick up. The patient can return home after taking short rest.
