First Step: Call for your Consultation! This is the first part of your journey to motherhood. You will learn about egg reserves and what steps need to be taken in order to give you the best chances of preserving your eggs.
Second Step: Ultrasound time! You will have your initial look at how your body recruits eggs monthly. It’s a very exciting time. This will help set your individual protocol for the medication and officially start the process.
Third Step: Prepare mentally and physically for the procedure. If you have a fear of needles, have a reliable person(s) on hand to help for at least two weeks. Also make sure to set flexible hours, especially the last week for the actual retrieval.
Fourth Step: Keep a healthy diet and follow instructions specifically given to you by your doctor. Follow the instructions for medication exactly as they have been given to you. Stay calm and know that you are almost there!
Fifth Step: Your Big Day, the retrieval! The doctor will give a date and time, and ask that you refrain from eating or drinking for a specified period before the surgery. You will be informed a day or two later of how many beautiful mature eggs will be waiting for your future plans of motherhood!
Easy and worth it!
