Since the procedure is non-surgical, how are the eggs retrieved?
A. The egg retrieval process is an outpatient procedure similar to that of a pap smear. However, prior to the procedure you will be sedated or general anesthesia will be administered. A vaginal probe is placed into the vagina and fluid from the follicles is collected. This procedure will take approximately 30 minutes with a one to two hour recovery time. It is required that someone drive you home after the retrieval.
