IVF Process: 1. Follicle Stimulation - Ovaries are stimulated with hormones to produce eggs (7-14 days)

2. Egg Retrieval - eggs are removed from ovary under anesthesia

3. Fertilization A. Microdroplet inseminationsperm are selected and mixed with egg to allow for fertilization.B. ICSI - some eggs are inseminated by microinjection of sperm

5. Embyo Transfer - embryos are transferred into the uterus by using a narrow catheter

6. Cryopreservation - remaining embryos can be saved for future use

IUI Process: 1. Egg production and ovulation is stimulated through medications

2. Sperm is collected via masterbation, washed and prepared into a small volume

3. Sperm is deposited into the uterus through the cervix with a narrow catheter. *bypassing the cervix increases the number of sperm that eventually reach the egg(s) in the fallopian tube(s).

Follicle Stimulation - Ovaries are stimulated with hormones to produce eggs (7-14 days)

Egg Retrieval - eggs are removed from the ovaries under anesthesia

Fertilization -

A) Microdroplet insemination-sperm are selected and mixed with eggs to allow for fertilization

B) ICSI - eggs are inseminated by microinjection of sperm

Embryo Transfer - embryo(s) are transferred into the uterus by using a narrow catheter

Cryopreservation - remaining embryo(s) can be saved for future use

IVF AND IUI INFOGRAPHICS Attached are some graphics with notes to inspire your design. Here it the content we need to include:

IVF Process: 1. Follicle Stimulation - Ovaries are stimulated with hormones to produce eggs (10 days) 2. Egg Retrieval - eggs are removed from ovary under anesthesia 3. Fertilization - sperm are selected and mixed with egg to allow fertilization.4. ICSI - some eggs are inseminated by microinjection of sperm in the laboratory 5. Embyo Transfer - embryos are transferred to the uterus through a catheter 6. Cryopreservation - remaining embryos can be saved for future use

IUI Process: 1. Egg production and ovulation is stimulated through medication 2. Sperm is collected, prepared and enhanced 3. Sperm is deposited into the cervix through a catheter.

*bypassing the cervix increases the number of sperm that reach the egg(s) in the fallopian tube.
