    • Fertilization: In a laboratory dish, the sperm fertilizes the eggs. In some cases, a procedure called intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) might be used to inject a single sperm directly into an egg.
    • Embryo Development: The fertilized eggs, now called embryos, are monitored for several days as they grow and divide.
