Preparing for ART - Part 1

Knocked Up: The Podcast About Fertility and Women's Health

Starting fertility treatment often takes longer than we would expect, it is not the case that you see your fertility specialist and start the next week.

We talk through step by step, day by day what to expect including:

• Preparing for an IVF cycle
• Pretreatment investigations
• Optimising health of gametes(egg and sperm) for IVF
• Legislative requirements
• Pretreatment clinical preparation and education
• Starting a cycle: with period versus scheduled
• What is the time line of an IVF cycle
• 2 weeks prep, monitoring
• The OPU
• Luteal phase support
• The Embryo Transfer
• The two week wait
