The IVF treatment is divided into two phases :
1. Pre treatment work up: one month before the cycle is planned
2. Actual IVF cycle: the cycle in which Pick up will be done.
For wife:
A woman will have to come once or twice during the work up for tests and medicines
A standard fresh transfer IVF Treatment cycle is done within a woman's natural menstrual cycle so it should not exceed that, since the Stimulation, Pick Up, IVF and transfer are done in the same cycle itself. That would be 14-16 days. You will have to visit the center for the following procedures:
1. During stimulation (day 1 of period to day 13) : For stimulation injections, hormonal monitoring (blood tests), follicular monitoring periodically (on specific dates specified by your doctor stimulation phase) which can vary for 3-5 visits.
2. On the day of Pick up,
3. On the day of Transfer.
During FET.
If your transfer scheduled in next cycle via Frozen Embryo Transfer then you will not have to come again after Pick up is done until the next cycle.
In the cycle your FET is planned you will again be required to come to clinic on specific days as advised by doctor:
1. Day 21 of the cycle previous to the FET cycle: To start the medication.
2. Day 14 of FET cycle : for monitoring the growth of the endometrium and blood tests
3. Day of Transfer (day 19-20): and again on the day your FET is scheduled.
