Arrival in India

The use of the oral contraceptive pill allows us to predict in most cases exactly when you will be required in India. You will find an example of a routine treatment cycle below. Please note this is an example only and every patient's treatment does vary.

 

The following medications will be used in your cycle and you will need to let the Coordinator know if you can access them:

  • A combined monophasic oral contraceptive pill

  • GnRh agonist injections

  • GnRH antagonist injections

  • FSH or hMG injections

 

Your arrival in India will depend on access to the medications and how much of the monitoring can be done in your own country.

 

Once in India, you will meet with your clinician and continue treatment.

  • At this point a mandatory counselling session will also be scheduled.

  • Egg collection will be done following approximately 10-14 days of Follicle Stimulating Hormone Injections (FSH) depending on your response to the medication.

  • You will be able to return home the day after the embryo transfer.

 

We hope this information is helpful in planning your treatment and would be happy to answer any queries you may have.
