The egg retrieval is then scheduled during this time period so that it is sure to take place before ovulation.<\/p>    <p><strong>Oocyte extraction is performed vaginally using an aspiration needle that is guided by ultrasound<\/strong> and it is always performed in an operating room under sedation. The specialist locates the follicles and punctures them one by one using this special needle. Then, using the aspiration system, the follicular liquid containing the oocytes is collected in a tube. These tubes are then sent to an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ginefiv.com\/en\/assisted-reproduction\/in-vitro-fertilization\/\">in vitro fertilisation<\/a> lab where the specialists recover the oocytes and prepare them for use.<\/p>    <p>If any of the oocytes have not reached sufficient maturity, the stimulation phase can be extended, and if they are very immature or have degenerated, they may even be ruled out as being unsuitable for fertilisation.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"numbers\">The number of eggs obtained by egg retrieval<\/h3>    <p>The extraction of eggs varies based on the characteristics of each woman, her response to treatment and any possible pathologies. The most common number obtained is between 6 and 9 eggs per cycle, but 1 or 2 eggs may be obtained from women who are less responsive to treatment, and it can rise to over 20 in young women with no sterility problems.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>    <div class=\"wp-block-columns alignfull has-turquoise-teal-background-color has-background is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493
