How long is the IVF process?

4y ago

An IVF cycle usually starts on day 2 of a menstrual cycle and the stimulation lasts usually for 10 days and then when the follicles are large enough , a trigger is given and the eggs are then retrieved after approximately 36 hours. The eggs are then inseminated and the embryos are observed after 24 hours onwards to day 2-5. Transfer of the embryos are done usually day 3 or 5 . My preference is for day 5 .
