TREATMENT IVF IUI INTRAUTERINE INSEMINATION IN VITRO FERTILIZATION The goal of IUI treatment is to stimulate the development of 1-3 follicles. Sperm is then placed directly in the uterus, closer to the eggs to increase the chances of fertilization. With IVF, injectable medications are used to stimulate the ovaries to produce more eggs than a normal menstrual cycle. Once the follicles are an appropriate size, the eggs are retrieved from the ovarjes and fertilized inside the embryology lab with the partners sperm. In each case, blood work and ultrasound appointments throughout the stimulation phase allow physicians to track the follicle number and size, as well as estrogen levels. 21 mm- 4mm l1mm 16mm E2 levels -In both IUI and IVF, as the number of follicles increase, so does the E2 level. The ideal size of follicles is between 16mm and 21mm. Follicle (estrogen) (eggs) INSIDE THE IVF LAB Eggs are retrieved from the follicles and Sperm is introduced to each egg, allowing fertilization Embryos are cultured in the lab 1-3 embryos (depending on prognosis) are transfered into the uterus assessed for maturity for 3-6 days.
