Plan your trip

Know exactly when to fly.

What to expect physically + emotionally

Days 1–4

Mostly normal. Injections sting briefly but become routine.

Days 5–8

Ovaries enlarging. Bloated, tender. Pants feel tight. Energy dips.

Days 9–Trigger

Peak discomfort. Ovaries swollen. Hormones amplify everything.

Retrieval + After

Cramping like a bad period. Most normal in 2–3 days. Waiting is hardest.

How the abroad model works

You can start injections and early monitoring at home with a local clinic. Most patients fly in around Day 7–8 and stay 8–10 days through retrieval + a day or two of rest.

Lab results (blast report, PGT-A) come by phone or email — you don't need to be there for those. We coordinate everything with your local monitoring clinic from the start.

Your dates

Calculate your personal timeline

Enter the first day of your period and we'll map the exact calendar dates — which days you're at home, when to fly, and when retrieval would fall.
