IVF Cycle Questions
1. How soon can we start our IVF cycle?
2. Will you be doing the egg retrieval/embryo transfer yourself, or will it be another doctor?
3. What protocol do you suggest for us, and why? What medications will we be on, and at what dosages? Will my cycle be starting with Birth control pills?
4. What number of follicles are you hoping for in a cycle? At what point would you cancel? What are the criteria you use in choosing to cancel a cycle?
5. How many embryos would you transfer in our situation?
6. Who decides what happens to our embryos that aren’t selected for transfer?
7. What day would you normally transfer on, or does this depend on embryo quality?
8. What are your success rates for our age group? Per embryo transferred? For our type of infertility? What do you anticipate our success rate being? What is your live birth rate?
9. How many cycles would we need, realistically?
10. How much information do you give as we go through our cycle? (ie: follicle size, count, E2, P4 etc… while stimming. What about fertilization and embryo reports?)
11. How will I be sedated for egg retrieval?
12. Do you perform “natural IVF”?
13. Do you recommend bed rest after embryo transfer? For how long?
14. What will my physical limitations be while cycling?
15. When will we be released to an OB?
16. Do you have success rates or statistics on your lab? E.g., % of women who have embryos to freeze; % of fertilized eggs that make it to blasts, others.
17. Do you recommend/require a frozen sperm sample as a backup?
18. Do you prefer fresh transfers over frozen transfers?
