“A thick needle is passed through the top of the vagina under ultrasound guidance to get to the ovaries and follicles. Follicles in the ovaries are sac like structures that contain fluid. The fluid in these sacs are aspirated through the needle. In doing so the eggs detach from the follicular wall and are then sucked out of the ovaries,” stated Dr. Gunjan Gupta, renowned gynaecologist Ghaziabad and Director & Founder of Gunjan IVF World, a celebrated IVF clinic in Ghaziabad.
