Long Distance Ovarian Stimulation & IVF
Cycle Monitoring
Involves:
 |
Ultrasound and blood tests performed and monitored by
pre-arranged medical staff in your home locale. |
|
Travel
to either the Joliet, or Melrose Park office for a 6-10 day stay when
follicles are almost mature. (You may chose to
return home between egg retrieval and the embryo transfer to
reduce the time away from home.) |
|
Estradiol levels and ultrasound findings must be faxed
to RHS, Ltd. every day they are performed for a review by our
clinical staff.
They will respond back to you that same day with
further instructions |
|
Prior
to starting IVF stimulation, you will need to have a Day 3 FSH
and estradiol test.
You may have the blood specimen drawn by a facility in
your local area and sent to us for the assay run in our
laboratory. |
|
It is
possible that you may have to take a test of ovarian reserve
that involves blood tests on Day 3 and Day 10, with 100 mg per
day of clomiphene taken on Days
5-9. |
|
Plan to
travel at least 2 to 3 days before egg retrieval procedure for
ultrasound and blood tests. |
|
A sperm
specimen will be required from the male partner on the day of
the egg retrieval.
This will be used to inseminate the female’s
eggs. |
|
Usually,
the embryo transfer is performed 3 days after the egg
retrieval, however Dr. Piekos may want to do a blastocyst
transfer on day 5 instead. | |
