Hi I'm new here , I will be starting my ivf journey soon, I've done all my tests, now treatment will start, I'm curious 😅 can someone tell me the stages, and how many weeks does it take from start to finish.

Hi First of all good luck!
Have a look here
theduff.co.uk/ivf-process-s...
She explains it well and has a lot of useful information. I found it useful when starting.
I believe the writer's own experience was with NHS so more useful if you are having NHS treatment.
I used it when I first started so I don't remember a lot about repeated treatment, it might be updated by now
All the best
Thanks its long to read

Are you joking?? I'd have given anything to have come across something like it when I started. If I were you, I'd devour it.
Thanks for the reply. Useful info, the thing is its been like 2 years since I've been referred to fertility departments, been doing all sorts of scans and blood tests, me and husband, till now they haven't started any treatments yet, this nhs takes too long and I'm 38 years I'm worried

The nurse at the clinic will explain your treatment step by step- if unsure at any point just ask her to explain it again Also may sure after each clinic visit you know what is happening next Good luck with your treatment

Hi! GOODLUCK! After all your blood tests and drug appointment.. you will start your injections.
From starting my injections to egg retrieval it’s been 2 weeks… that’s the stage am up to now.. but best of luck ! Try to remain positive 🙏🏼💫🥚👶🏼 Drink plenty of fluids & rest 🤍
The process from A to Z is like waiting from one period to another. Everything has to be done in 1 month. I watched many videos on youtube, ladies telling their journey day by day. Max 32 days. Thats if after the retrieval you go home rest and do the transfer. Easy peasy. But in my second cycle I developed a risk of OHSS and was recovering for 2 weeks with bloating and very bad constipation. Aftermath seemed worst that actual IVF in that case took a month and a half.
Thanks, last year i did all my scans and blood tests, now what's next before embryo transfer?
