Online consultation with a doctor

This is the first step to starting IVF treatment. During it, the doctor relies on medical records, takes a medical history and, on this basis, develops a detailed, patient-specific plan of action.

First visit to the clinic

During this visit, tests will be taken for qualification, consents will be signed by both partners, in your case an ultrasound will be performed and a stimulation plan will be established. In your case, a visit to the clinic may not be necessary. In the event that the partner is not available on the day of the egg collection, his semen may be frozen.

Start of stimulation (at your home location)

If the start of stimulation depends on the results of certain tests taken earlier, you will be notified in advance.

Follow-up visit and egg collection

The first follow-up visit must take place on day 9-10 of stimulation. Further decisions will be made based on its progress (setting the next monitoring or the date of the ovarian puncture).

At this stage, the necessary blood tests will be performed and the whole stage will end with an ovarian puncture under brief general anaesthesia (total length of stay in the clinic up to 1 week maximum).

Embryo transfer

This stage involves a maximum of 2 visits to the clinic, including embryo transfer.

Confirmation of pregnancy (at your home location)

Our medical team will provide you with care and advice also at this stage. If additional consultations will be needed needed - you can have them by phone or online.

Online consultation with a doctor

This is the beginning of the IVF treatment process. During the conversation, the doctor analyses the medical documentation provided, conducts a detailed interview and, on this basis, prepares an individual treatment plan tailored to the patients needs.

Filling in the phenotype cards (online)

In the case of an in vitro fertilisation procedure using donor ova, one of the key steps is the completion of the so-called phenotype cards. This step allows for the best possible match between the donor and the physical characteristics of the recipient (and/or partner).

First visit to the clinic

At this stage you can expect to see several key preparatory steps for the IVF procedure:

• the paperwork for the treatment is completed, including consents for the procedures;

• a psychological consultation takes place;

• diagnostic tests are taken;

• partner’s sperm is frozen to be available at the date of ICSI procedure.

ICSI fertilisation

ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection) is an additional procedure carried our during IVF which involves injecting a single healthy sperm directly into an egg to maximise the chances of fertilisation.

The process takes place in a specialised IVF laboratory, under conditions that allow the embryos to develop as close to natural as possible. The quality and safety of the procedured is ensured by highly skilled and experiences embryologists with the support of the state of the art equipment (e.g. RI Witness and Embryoscope + used in every cycle)

This stage does not require your presence in the clinic. All information is provided by telephone and via the Patient Portal.
