Important Safety Information You Should Know During IVF Treatment During assisted reproductive treatments, some patients may hear the term Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS) and feel concerned. In fact, OHSS is a treatment-related complication that is preventable, monitorable, and usually manageable. Not every patient undergoing ovarian stimulation will experience it.

Egg Retrieval Surgery Egg retrieval is a key step in assisted reproductive treatments (egg freezing and IVF) and is usually performed approximately 10–14 days after ovarian stimulation injections.

PGT-A (Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy) PGT-A (Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy) is primarily used in in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatments to assess whether embryos have numerical chromosomal abnormalities (aneuploidy). This helps clinicians select embryos with higher developmental potential for transfer.

Preparation Before Egg Freezing Preparation for egg freezing should begin 2–3 months in advance to optimize egg quality. The key steps are maintaining a regular lifestyle, following a balanced diet (such as the Mediterranean diet), and taking supplements like folic acid, CoQ10, and vitamin D3.
