In vitro fertilization (IVF) is one of several fertility treatment options. The details differ depending on a person’s medical needs and treatment plan.
The main stages
IVF commonly involves ovarian stimulation, egg retrieval, fertilization in a laboratory, and embryo transfer. Your clinician will explain the schedule and monitoring involved for your specific plan.
Questions worth asking
You might ask about likely timelines, medication, risks, costs, and alternatives. There is no single plan that is right for everyone.
Support through the process
Treatment can bring a range of emotions. Ask your clinic what practical and emotional support is available at each stage.
Every person’s experience is different. For guidance that considers your needs, speak with a qualified fertility clinician.
