In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a complex and highly anticipated process for many families. Understanding the timeline of this procedure is crucial. The egg retrieval process in IVF typically takes 14 days, encompassing several essential steps. First, there is a period of approximately 10 days of hormone injections. After completing the injections, there is a two-day break before the egg retrieval surgery, which occurs around 35 to 36 hours later.

Overall, when counting from the start of the menstrual cycle (the first day of menstruation), most individuals undergo egg retrieval on the 14th day of their cycle. This process demands precise timing and guidance from experienced medical professionals.

The majority of the preliminary tests for IVF can be conducted domestically, reducing the time spent abroad in countries like the United States or Thailand. These tests include hormonal evaluations on the third day of the menstrual cycle, transvaginal ovarian ultrasounds, and screenings for infectious diseases related to the mid-cycle. Once these tests are completed, you can initiate your IVF cycle through remote consultations with a doctor.

During this process, the initial five days can be spent in your home country. This means that when you arrive in the United States, you will only need to stay for seven days, and in Thailand, the egg retrieval stage can be completed in as few as 3 to 5 days. This streamlined timeline not only reduces your time abroad but also helps cut down on associated travel expenses.
