    Hi dear! IVF is a very fast procedure. I guess it would be prudent you make sure you see the doctor who is well qualified. It is a step by step process which involves the following procedures; Ovary stimulation. It only takes 14 days near the beginning of the menstrual cycle. The second one is the follicle development. It allows the doctor to monitor the development of the follicles. The third one is the trigger shot. An injection is done to the eggs to enable them to mature fully. The gathering of eggs is done through anesthetic and inserts an ultrasound probe through your vagina. Then fertilization is done. Embryologist will examine the eggs before combining them with the partner’s sperms. All these steps are very key in the development and unfolding of the process. Through this procedure, proper care is taken to make sure that the patient undergoes a successful procedure. I am hoping for the very best dear. Be patient and all will be well.

    The procedure of IVF dear is very time consuming. This is more the case if the doctors and the place where it is conducted is not worth it. But I bet in some clinics it is done successfully within a very short time. Fertilization of eggs is usually done outside the laboratory. It then requires to be done in the laboratory and a thorough routine of checkups. Monitoring also takes a lot of time. It is accompanied with frequent trips to the doctor. The doctor must do a lot of blood tests and ultrasounds. My sister had undergone through a very complicated procedure of IVF and it didn’t auger well with us. We spent a lot of money in pursuit of her wellbeing. What pulled down our hopes was the step by step procedure which never bore any fruits. It led to the risk of ectopic pregnancy. It was very painful and we had to fly her to Ukraine. It took us sometime and she was bleeding profusely. A successful operation was done but in the end, she concurred. A repeat of the process was done and we went home happy.

    IVF procedure depends on where you are having it from. If the hospital or clinic is not well endowed, just believe me you it will take you a huge shank of time. It involves the following methods; Ovary stimulation. For eight to 14 days near the beginning of your menstrual cycle, you take a gonadotropin, a type of fertility drug that stimulates your ovaries to develop multiple mature eggs for fertilization (instead of just one). You also need to take a synthetic hormone like leuprolide or cetrorelix to keep your body from releasing the eggs too early; Follicle development. While taking these medications, you visit your doctor's office or clinic every two to three days to have your blood hormone levels checked and ultrasound measurements of your ovaries done. This allows your healthcare provider to monitor development of the follicles – the fluid-filled sacs where eggs mature; The trigger shot. When the follicles are ready, you get a "trigger shot," an injection that causes the eggs to mature fully and become capable of being fertilized. About 36 hours after your trigger shot, your eggs are ready to be retrieved; Gathering the eggs. Your doctor gives you an anesthetic and inserts an ultrasound probe through your vagina to look at your ovaries and identify the follicles. A thin needle is then inserted through the vaginal wall to remove the eggs from the follicles. Eight to 15 eggs are usually retrieved. You may have some cramping and spotting for a few days afterward, but most women feel better in a day or two. It all depends on your patience dear. Take heart and I am very certain all will always be Ok.

    Hello there my dear. How ar eyou doing today? I am really happy for you. The fact that you had to turn to IVF is sad. I am sorry for that... At the same time you deserve congrats. You are not standing still. You are making your best to move forward. Taking this step of going for IVF is a hard thing. It took me a long while. As per length of your IVF it depends on a lot of things. Mostly the clinic though... So nobody can give you an exact timeline. Don't stress about it. Think positive and positive things will happen. God bless you!
