Who may consider IVF
IVF may be considered for blocked or damaged fallopian tubes, endometriosis, sperm factors, unexplained infertility, genetic-testing goals, donor or gestational-carrier pathways, or when another treatment has not worked. Your clinician recommends a plan after evaluation.
What your care may include
- Ovarian stimulation and monitoring to guide the planned retrieval
- Egg retrieval under sedation, with preparation and recovery instructions from your team
- Fertilization and embryo culture in the laboratory
- Embryo transfer planning based on the treatment plan you review with your clinician
- Embryo freezing when it is part of your plan
Preparing for IVF planning
Bring your previous fertility results and treatment history, and consider the questions you want answered before starting. Ask about monitoring visits, procedure arrangements, embryo decisions, and support during treatment. The steps described on this page outline care; they are not a list of everything included in the published self-pay package. Review medications and selected add-ons separately with the team.

Your visit and next steps
Your timing depends on your protocol and transfer plan. A cycle includes stimulation and monitoring before egg retrieval. Fertilization, embryo culture, and a fresh or frozen transfer follow the plan you review with your care team. Ask how the team will review laboratory findings with you and explain the testing and follow-up for your transfer plan.
