How much leave do I need for overseas IVF treatment?

Trying to Conceive14 views
Overseas IVF treatment usually requires staying locally for about 2 to 4 weeks, depending on the length of ovarian stimulation, usually 10 to 14 days, egg retrieval, and embryo culture, usually 3 to 6 days. If you have a fresh embryo transfer, you may need to stay about one more week. If you choose frozen embryo transfer, travel can be split into separate trips. Plan to take at least 3 to 4 weeks off and allow flexibility for physical response or treatment adjustments. After returning home, follow-up is still needed, but much of it can be done remotely. The actual leave needed depends on your treatment plan, so consult a reproductive medicine specialist.
