Trophectoderm biopsy is the process of removing few cells from an in vitro fertilization embryo.

The cells removed from an in vitro fertilization embryo during the trophectoderm biopsy will be used to assess the mitochondrial DNA content as a viability indicator in the euploid embryos.

ICSI is an in vitro fertilization procedure in which a single sperm is injected directly into an oocyte.

Egg retrieval is a simple procedure. It is performed in an operating room for safety reasons. It is performed vaginally and involves aspirating the follicular fluid through a thin needle. Embryologists then retrieve from this fluid the eggs that have matured during stimulation. It lasts for 5 to 15 minutes, and a mild sedative is administered to prevent any kind of pain during the procedure.

The cells removed from an in vitro fertilization embryo during the trophectoderm biopsy will be tested for chromosomal normalcy before transferring the embryo to the uterus.

Embryo transfer refers to a step in the process of assisted reproduction in which embryos are placed into the uterus

A pregnancy test is used to determine whether a woman is pregnant.

Embryo freezing is a method for cryopreserving embryos.

Embryo thawing is the procedure to recover previously frozen embryos prior to an embryo transfer.
