Couples who are having IVF usually engage with the doctor who is handling their case. However, he or she is not alone in assisting them in having a baby. An embryologist is also important in IVF treatment. The embryologist works behind the scenes to assist with all aspects of IVF, from egg harvesting to embryo development and transfer to the womb.
An embryologist is not a doctor, but he or she possesses specialized skills that allow him or her to operate with delicate cells like sperm and eggs. An embryologist is essential at every stage of IVF treatment.
