- The length of time it takes for in vitro fertilization (IVF) can vary depending on several factors, including the individual's medical history, age, and fertility issues.
The IVF process typically involves several steps, including:
Ovarian stimulation: This involves taking fertility drugs to encourage the ovaries to produce multiple eggs. This process usually takes around two weeks.
Egg retrieval: This is a minor surgical procedure that involves collecting the eggs from the ovaries. This procedure usually takes around 20-30 minutes.
Fertilization: This involves combining the eggs with sperm in a laboratory. This process usually takes one day.
Embryo culture: After fertilization, the embryos are monitored in a laboratory to ensure they are developing normally. This process can take up to five days.
Embryo transfer: This is the process of transferring the embryos to the uterus. This usually takes around 15 minutes.
Overall, the entire IVF process typically takes around 4-6 weeks from the start of ovarian stimulation to embryo transfer. However, it's important to note that every individual's situation is unique, and the length of the IVF process can vary. But in this video I'll share the timeline and the entire IVF process!

This was VERY GOOD!! Thank you for putting this video out there. Our first cycle of IVF we ended up with the 1 egg we had to do a fresh transfer and then we had 1 that we froze to use at a later date. I wish what I know now then, because I would NEVER do a fresh transfer not being able to genetically test in time. So we ended up going through pregnancy 3 months before losing the baby and the office neglected to let us know that the frozen embryo was abnormal....I could have bypassed this miscarriage all in all if i froze both eggs to find out they were abnormal. Again you are being thrown so much information at you and in the very beginning I never knew if I was coming or going. So to all the woman out there deciding to do fresh or frozen, definitely go with FROZEN :) I will save you the turmoil. It was very very very rough for me to go through this miscarriage when ultimately it didnt need to happen the way it did. I wish my doctor was more thorough and explained the differences between them more clearly. So thank you Dr. Lora to putting this very put together video for the rest of us :) :) I thank you very much.
Had my first meeting with my new clinic on the 25th of September, was pregnant 6 weeks later. I've had a few rounds prior to going to a new clinic. But everything was super quick
As a therapist who sometimes works with grief and loss, I know that feeling of mourning *with* your patient. It’s so hard for them. *hugs*
First round took 4 months.
Second round (3 years later) took 8 months.
The longest period is getting the referrals, waiting list for specialist, doing all the tests, waiting for results, scans, getting your protocol, nurse education. And a hundred and one consent forms!
Thank you for sharing your experience with us.
I just had my first egg retrieval yesterday and there was no eggs at all, We have followed everything that nurses instructed us. Don’t know what could have gone wrong. Had another blood test after retrieval.hopefully we get answer this coming Wednesday. The logistic and emotional roller coaster of doing IVF.
Hey did you find out what went wrong?
Doctor said sometimes follicle are empty or I might have ovulated already. Personally I think it was missed timed.
My first appointment with my clinic was October. I had a small tumor in my pituitary gland that caused my prolactin to be elevated and then month later my Thyroid had issues. Plus 2 months wait for my insurance authorization. I’m finally starting next month this! Took 7 months.
So helpful~ thank you so much for the information! I don’t know if my clinic just doesn’t want to overwhelm me so they don’t tell me most of the things. But for someone who’s total control freak, I rather know everything and be as prepared as I possibly could which made me feel a lot better to know where things at and have the most reasonable expectations.
Fingers crossed 🤞🏻 I’m gonna do my egg retrieval the first time next week…
My IVF process took me one year to complete, and ended up with a missed miscarriage. One year for one round doesn’t encourage me to go for second round.
Im so sorry! I feel your pain. All of this is so unfair to us knowing we are the ones that want to be mom's so bad and we have to spend so much time and not to mention money just to end up being saddened by news like that. I am sending you hugs because I am in the same boat.
Thank you Lord he lead me here me and my husband is trying to have a baby and our doctor suggest us for ivf.since my age and my eggs is on a boarderline❤❤❤thank you for the information dr.lora❤❤❤❤
Thank you for this video. I was curious if there are any expected timeline changes if you have endometriosis.
It depends on many factors but sometimes doctors recommend treatment with laparoscopy or with medication like Lupron to quiet inflammation before embryo transfer - not always❤️
thank you so much 🙏🏽 I’m on my first ivf cycle and I’m grateful I found your videos 💓
I'm so glad!
@@drlorashahine Hello Doctor . Is it possible to have a video consultation with you? I live in a small town in Wyoming and have found you to be the best help so far with information.
Today I was done hycosy on CD 6 with 5 eggs in each ovary. I also got an appointment for a fertility consultation for IVF/ Icsi. I really hope that this type of treatment will work for us ❤
I wish you all the success on your fertility journey. Thank you for watching!
Thank you!!!
I have a little time but this is looking like a future option
I had my first meeting with this clinic today. Feeling excited.
I'm wishing you all the best on your journey ❤️❤️
Very informative video! 1st time doing IVF egg retrieval done 3 weeks ago! They have frozen the embryo! Waiting to transfer in couple of months- praying to get success! Very difficult process continuously feeling unwell!
They have retrieved 13 eggs, 3 of them were fertilised. Do I have a hope Dr Lora?
Your video is very informative❤❤
Glad you liked it! Thank you for watching :)
Hello Dr. Lora
My wife was advised to use these medications joprest 200 and naturogest 8.0% gel
And I checked the contents of the both and I found progesterone
So my question is : are these worth using both at same time?
I am In the preparation part using ocps ,I’m exited
Just wanted to say your videos are so well done and you are so articulate and informative thank you for putting videos out to the.public!! We are on our first round of ivf.We have male infetility. My husband had his daughter through IVF 15 years ago and I have a son and my amh levels are 2.29 which is great however my problem is I'm already 38 and we were told we should get pregnant on the first round . Do you think it is wise to transfer 2 embryos at my age for success?!?
Thank you so much for your kind words ❤️ I'd advise you to ask your medical provider for answers to your personal situation, as I can't give personal medical advice on social media.

Best wishes ❤️🤞🍍
I completely understand thank you all the best of luck and success and thank you for the information you put out for the public!😊
I'm so grateful to live in Europe when "checking insurance cover" is not part of this process because insurance is not needed for IVF treatment.
However understanding the time line is super helpful 😊
Access to care and cost is such a stress to so many - sooo happy it’s not an issue for you in Europe - the US can learn from that😀
I live in Europe but there are waiting lists and I’m not gonna wait so people who can afford it in my country do it in private clinics it makes a big difference. In countries like Germany and other more developed countries hospitals look better and they probably are better 😅
This is very helpful. Wow. Thank you.
Question. I will be working throughout this process, how many days will I need intermittent FMLA to take time off for ultrasounds and random checks per month? What should I ask for so my job is protected and I'm covered.
Thank you so much for watching! This is a great question. I would advise you to consult your medical provider, as I can't give medical advice to personal situations on social media.

@@drlorashahine I understand. Thank you.
Hi
Thank you so much . I'm starting ivf this week.
Thank you for watching! Best of luck!
How’s it going if you don’t mind? My wife and I are starting very soon
@Lefty1x Hi 👋🏽 it went well. We are currently 9 weeks pregnant. 🙌🏽It was our first cycle . My advice is for you both is to stay positive and hope for the best. The medications can be tiresome at times, but it's for a greater purpose. ✨️ wishing you both the best.
@@marias8132 thank you so much for the reply! Wishing you all the best going forward!
We will definitely stay positive and strong!
@@marias8132Can u let me know how much you pay .? I'm saving money for my ivf
Wow..Dr Lora, I am a man and believe me when I say you did justice to the topic. My dumb question as a man who is also planing to start IVF process with my wife is, since there are so much uncertainty about the process, can an IVF patient increase their chances of getting pregnant by seeking IVF treatment from different clinics at same time?
Hello, and thanks for your video. Do you have a video for women after 40 that want to have babies. What supplements to take for women at this age.
Hi Daisy. I have a lot of content on the supplements on this channel, website drlorashahine.com and Instagram account @drlorashahine that are great sources for you. I would advise you to consult your medical provider as well. Thank you for the suggestion. I can discuss it in a future video. Thank you for watching :)
I was wondering if human is the only species or the only mammalian who can be frozen at its single or multi-cell stage, then after unfreezing it come back to life?
Also wondering if you could do the same with my sperms?
Thank you in advance
Thank you for the great info . I hVe my 1st consultation today and your video got me more prepared for my appointment ❤
Thank you so much! I wish you all the best at your consultations!
How did it go?
Hi can egg retrival is possible on day 20th of your period or is it too late? Or it is a mistake?

Bc pills took away my cycle completely last time i came off it (i have pcos) does that mean ivf isnt an option for me?

We have our IVF phone consult on the 16th. We were to do IUI last Feb 27th, but it turned out that both my tubes are blocked. Watching this makes me come up with questions that I have to ask on the 16th.
I'm glad this video has been helpful Hazel!
@@drlorashahine thank you! We are starting our cycle next month. I am a little bit anxious, but excited at the same time. I have been watching your other videos.
How did it go @@hazelraglow5448
@@hazelraglow5448 How did it go, if you don't mind me asking? Currently 5 years of unexplained infertility:-(
@@kzfingerprint hi sorry for the late response. We started IVF in April, had my egg retrieval in May and a fresh transfer that didn’t work, did ERA in June and turned out I needed an extra day of progesterone. We did a frozen transfer in July and is now 38w4d pregnant. Induction set on Friday.
I have fibrosis, in my 40's. And we are going for IVF. Any insights on this. Thanks a lot❤

Does everyone need to be prescribed birth control? My IVF didn't even mention it now i am worried
Not everyone. My doctor wanted me to get your period naturally and then I started my IVF process.
So far everything is going well.
I have been on the pill for one year and only take the active pills to avoid bleeding. We are starting ivf and I am wondering do I keep taking them until the appt? Or should I just stop now. It will be 2 months when we start our appts.
No strict medical opinion but if I were you as a patient - I’d stop now to see what my own periods are doing, get data before the visit and if you conceive - awesome. Unless of course you don’t want to get pregnant then ignore this❤️
What is the Flare protocol?
Thank you for watching. It’s using small doses of lupron to get the pituitary gland to ‘flare’ and release its own gonadotropins to help with egg recruitment
Thank you!
I’m afraid if they do me wrong
Using different semen is that’s possible can happen dr ??
And is it possible to do dna test while pregnant ?

It is possible, but apparently something they're cautious about
Same for us. we are on our first journey and it over whelming. thanks a lot for the videos.
You got this! Thank you so much for watching!
Unfortunately, this isn't very comforting for me 😢. We will be traveling internationally for IVF and I'm afraid that it might not work out
I also travelled and it was the best decision we ever made, currently pregnant
@@donnarooney8833 so happy for you. When I say internationally, I mean, I'm in the Caribbean and heading to the USA. Ticket prices and accommodations aren't cheap. I pray this works out for us too. Congrats on your bundle of joy.
Dear don't worry about anything 😊 pray about it and put all situations into God's hands. Am planning on the journey of IVF too. Am currently in the UK and will be traveling to Albania. By the grace of God, we will all come out successful Amen ❤😊
@@tinamichael6144 all the best to you. This was last year and we were unsuccessful. I hope and pray you have better results
My daughter just informed me that the medication I bought for her from Dr Aluda on RUclips worked that her multiple fibroids has be shrunk and I am so happy for her and I am thankful to Dr Aluda for his help
2.5 to 3 months
25% chance CF if both partners have the
?trait or gene?
birth control pills or estrogen
day 2 period, start medicine
don't travel or stress during medicines
trigger shot 36 hours before egg 🥚 retrieval
period 7 days after retrieval
Its been a year for me. Having my transfer next month but we started everything last Sep. so many obstacles..
Thank you for sharing. I wish you all the success on your journey.
