Oocyte Retrieval

At Bangkok IVF Clinic (BIC), we offer over 29 years of experience in reproductive medicine. Our specialized physicians, certified IVF laboratories, and advanced technologies ensure a high-standard process to increase your chances of a successful pregnancy when you are ready.

What is Oocyte Retrieval?

Oocyte Retrieval is a medical procedure to collect mature eggs from the ovaries. These eggs can be used immediately for fertilization in a lab or cryopreserved (frozen) for future use. The retrieved eggs are essential for procedures like IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) or ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection).

Who Should Consider Egg Retrieval?

This option is ideal for women looking to protect their future fertility, particularly:

๐ Women aged 27–35: This is the peak period for high-quality eggs.

๐ Women not yet ready for children: To increase the likelihood of success in later years.

๐ Medical Patients: Those undergoing chemotherapy or radiation, which can impact ovarian function.

๐ Family History: Women with a history of early menopause.

๐ Diminished Ovarian Reserve: Women over 35 or those with low AMH levels (an indicator of egg supply).

๐ Couples in Treatment: Those currently undergoing IVF or ICSI cycles.

The Process at Bangkok IVF Clinic

Our procedure is designed to be safe, efficient, and meticulous:

1.Consultation & Evaluation: A specialist will review your medical history and perform a physical exam. Blood tests (hormone levels) and ultrasounds are used to assess the follicles (the sacs in the ovaries containing the eggs).

2.Ovarian Stimulation: Hormonal medications are administered to stimulate the production of multiple eggs. Progress is monitored via ultrasound and blood work until the follicles reach the optimal size for maturation.

3.The Retrieval Procedure: Performed under mild sedation or anesthesia. Using ultrasound guidance, the physician uses a thin needle to retrieve eggs through the vaginal wall. The process takes approximately 20–30 minutes.

4.Recovery: Patients rest in a recovery room for 1–2 hours. Minor cramping or bloating may occur but typically subsides within a few days. Most patients return to normal activities within 48 hours.

Preparation Tips

To ensure the best results and your safety, please follow these guidelines:

๐ Fast: No food or water for at least 8 hours prior to the procedure (for anesthesia safety).

๐ Lifestyle: Avoid alcohol and caffeine leading up to the retrieval day.

๐ Medication: Inform your doctor about all medications, especially blood thinners, which may need to be paused.

๐ Documentation: Have your latest blood tests and ultrasound results ready.
