The process involves monitoring and stimulating a woman's ovulatory process, then removing an ovum or ova (egg or eggs) from her ovaries and enabling a man's sperm to fertilise them in a culture medium in a laboratory.
Autologous Endometrial Coculture is a technique of assisted reproductive technology.It involves placing a patient’s fertilized eggs on top of a layer of cells from her own uterine lining, creating a more natural environment for embryo development and maximizing the chance for an in vitro fertilization (IVF) pregnancy.
AA eggs have the thickest whites, while Grade B offers the thinnest. Size: Eggs are divided into Extra Large, Large, and Medium sizes; these sizes are based on weight.
Older eggs may be made suitable for IVF. As women age, the quality of their eggs decreases and they become less useful for in vitro fertilization. But it may someday be possible to "rejuvenate ...
