| Travel to either the Joliet,
Mokena
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. |

For more information on your specific situation,
please
e-mail the clinical
director. |
