In the process of IVF, ovulation induction is an indispensable step. This procedure involves doctors using a series of medications and regimens to stimulate a woman’s ovaries to encourage the development and maturation of multiple follicles. These mature eggs will be retrieved for fertilization and embryo culture. However, a question arises: Do all mature eggs need to be retrieved?

During IVF egg retrieval, do I need to remove all mature eggs?

During the IVF process, in order to obtain more available eggs, doctors will ask women to take a certain amount of birth control pills when basal follicles appear on both ovaries at the beginning of menstruation to inhibit the secretion of gonadotropins and the growth of strong follicles. , increase the uniformity of follicular development and the number of mature eggs, and can obtain multiple mature eggs with relatively good quality at the same time, so as to obtain more embryos in the same test tube cycle. Then, the doctor will use ovulation induction drugs to make all the basic follicles grow and develop at the same time until they mature, so that more follicles can be monitored through B-ultrasound. When retrieving eggs, doctors usually remove all mature and high-quality eggs at one time. Even if they are not removed, these eggs will not be stored in the body and will be excreted from the body on their own. To a certain extent, the more eggs are retrieved while ensuring quality, the more eggs are retrieved. The more, the higher the test tube success rate. When the number of healthy eggs is around 15, the success rate can reach the highest value. Therefore, experts will not waste precious mature and high-quality eggs in vain.

But it should be noted that the more eggs you retrieve, the better. If you can retrieve qualified and usable eggs at one time, there is no need to accumulate them multiple times. As long as the egg quality is good, even if there are only one or two eggs, the success rate can be guaranteed. When a woman retrieves eggs for IVF, if a large number of eggs are retrieved, experts will preserve the remaining eggs to avoid damage to the body caused by repeated egg retrieval.
