Steps to IVF Procedure
Preparation for IVF
Controlled Ovarian stimulation
Egg Retrieval
Preparation for IVF
To start the IVF process at our San Diego IVF clinic, the male and female partner will undergo diagnostic fertility testing. The results will help Dr. Hosseinzadeh determine the best way to proceed with treatment using IVF.
Controlled Ovarian stimulation
The female patient will then begin taking injectable fertility medications. During this time, she will be carefully monitored with blood work and ultrasounds. When her eggs mature, Dr. Hosseinzadeh will retrieve them from the ovaries during an outpatient procedure.
Egg Retrieval
The egg retrieval is performed under transvaginal ultrasound guidance in our own fully accredited surgical suites located in our office.
Our anesthesia team is also present to administer intravenous sedation and in rare circumstances general anesthesia may be required. This will be discussed with you on a case-by-case basis.
In Vitro Fertilization and
Embryo Culture
Our embryologist will then fertilize the eggs using sperm from the woman’s partner or sperm donor. If the patients are interested in preimplantation genetic testing (PGT), our team can perform it for them after fertilization and before embryo transfer.
Embryo Transfer
Once we have at least one genetically normal embryo, you will then be prepared for a frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycle. This will require injections and the embryo transfer is usually performed under ultrasound guidance. About 9 to 11 days after the embryo transfer, you will take a blood pregnancy test.
Hormonal Support of
Uterine Lining
You will be required to take progesterone and estrogen hormones to maintain the pregnancy until the placenta starts to produce hormones. Once this occurs, you will be slowly weaned off the hormones you are taking. You will be monitored with ultrasound and blood levels during this time.

The final two steps involve an embryo transfer and taking hormonal medications to support the uterine lining. About 10 days after the embryo transfer, the patient will take a pregnancy test to confirm whether the IVF cycle was a success.
