How do they do egg retrieval for ivf, do you need to be cut open?

Ivf: My wife had this done. Egg retrieval is intravaginal. You take a bunch of meds like braville and menopur. Then you get a shot of Pregnyl for maturation on of the follices.

No, transvaginally.: Transvaginal ultrasound is used to access your ovaries in the most physiologic and minimally invasive route possible. Your rei specialist will explain all this in detail. Take folic acie 1-5 mg daily and good luck!
