IVF is a precise, multi-step process, and the laboratory is where a significant part of it happens. How eggs are handled after retrieval, how fertilization is carried out, how embryos are cultured and evaluated, and how the transfer environment is prepared all contribute to the outcome. At Kofinas, IVF is not separated from the diagnostic work that precedes it or the clinical follow-up that follows it. It is one part of a continuum.
IVF can feel like a leap into the unknown, especially after prior attempts that did not go as hoped. Understanding the process, what is happening in the lab, and what each stage means for your specific situation makes it possible to move forward with more clarity and less dread. We explain what we are doing and why, at every step.
