IVF treatment steps – you may be wondering how everything will come together. While every fertility clinic’s IVF protocol will be slightly different and IVF treatment are adjusted for a couple’s individual needs, here is a step-by-step breakdown of what generally takes place during an IVF treatment cycle.
Step 1: The IVF cycle before treatment
The cycle before your IVF treatment is scheduled; you may be put on control pills or may then have you start taking a GnRH antagonist or a GnRH agonist. This is so they can have complete control over ovulation once your IVF treatment cycle begins.
Step 2: Periods during IVF treatment
The first official day of your IVF treatment cycle is the day you get your period. (Even though it may feel like you’ve already begun with the medications you’ve started before in step one.) On the second day of your periods, your doctor will likely order blood test and an ultrasound. (Yes, an ultrasound during your periods is not exactly pleasant, but what can you do?) This is referred to as your baseline blood test and your baseline ultrasound.
In your blood test, your doctor will be looking at your hormone levels, specifically your E2. This is to make sure your ovaries are “sleeping,” the intended effect of the shots or GnRH antagonist. The ultrasound is to check the size of your ovaries, and look for ovarian cysts. If there are cysts, your doctor will decide how to deal with them as a part of IVF treatment. Sometimes your doctor will just delay your IVF treatment for a week, as most cysts will resolve on their own with time. In other cases, your doctor may aspirate, or suck, the cyst with a needle. Usually, these tests will be fine. If everything looks OK, IVF treatment moves on to the next step.
Step 3: Ovarian Stimulation and Monitoring as a part of IVF treatment
If your blood test and ultrasound look normal, the next step in the IVF treatment is ovarian stimulation with fertility drugs and its monitoring. Depending on your IVF treatment protocol, this may mean anywhere from one to four shots every day, for about a week to 10 days.
You will probably be a pro at self-injection by now, as and other GnRH agonists are also injectables. Your fertility clinic should teach you how to give yourself the injections, of course, before or when your IVF treatment begins. Some fertility clinics offer classes with tips and instruction. Don’t worry, they won’t just hand you the syringe and hope for the best.
