How are mature eggs used in ivf treatment?

In IVF treatment, mature eggs are retrieved from a woman's ovaries after hormonal stimulation. These eggs are then combined with sperm in a laboratory setting to facilitate fertilization. Once fertilized, the resulting embryos are monitored for development before being transferred to the woman's uterus, with the hope of achieving a successful pregnancy. If there are excess embryos, they can be cryopreserved for future use.
