What is IVF and what is it used for? 

In vitro fertilization (IVF) is one of the most widely used and effective fertility treatments available, with an estimated 2% of American babies born through this treatment. IVF involves retrieving eggs from the ovaries, fertilizing them with sperm in a lab, and transferring the resulting embryo into the uterus.

Our IVF clinic in LA supports patients navigating a wide range of challenges like these:

The IVF timeline at Beverly Hills Reproductive Center

Starting IVF may feel overwhelming or uncertain. Our Beverly Hills IVF center will guide you through each phase, from your first injection to your pregnancy test. We handle the details so you can focus on your wellbeing.

1. Start of Treatment

Treatment begins with a call on the first day of your menstrual cycle. You’ll come in on day 2-4 for blood work and an ultrasound to guide your treatment plan.

Once we finalize your treatment plan, we’ll order your medications and teach you or your partner how to administer injections*.

On your first day of injections, a clinical nurse will check in to answer questions and make sure you feel confident moving forward.

*Prefer not to do your own injections? We can connect you with a nurse to administer them at your home. Ask about this option during your visit.

2. Egg Retrieval

You’ll take daily medications for about 10-12 days to stimulate follicle (egg) growth. During this time, you’ll come in every 2-3 days for monitoring, and we’ll adjust your dosage if needed.

Once your follicles are ready, you’ll take a “trigger shot” at a very specific time and we’ll schedule your egg retrieval. 

The egg retrieval is completed under anesthesia and takes approximately 20-30 minutes. You’ll go home the same day under the care of a loved one.

3. Fertilization

The eggs and sperm are combined in the IVF lab to create embryos. If fresh sperm is being used, your partner will provide it on the day of retrieval. If frozen sperm is being used, it will be thawed that day. 

Over the next 5-7 days, the lab closely monitors embryo development. You’ll receive updates throughout the process, and your care team will discuss next steps with you, including embryo freezing and genetic testing.

4. Embryo Transfer

The embryo transfer may involve a fresh transfer a few days after retrieval, or a frozen embryo transfer (FET) in a natural or programmed cycle.

You’ll undergo a saline ultrasound in preparation. The transfer is a quick, non-surgical procedure done while you’re awake. A small catheter is used to place the embryo in the uterus.

5. Pregnancy test

About 9-11 days after transfer, you’ll come back for a blood test to confirm pregnancy. Depending on the results, we’ll talk through the next steps and answer your questions, as always.
