The treatment cycle, the legal requirements in China, and the practical question of how many trips it takes.
In vitro fertilisation means collecting eggs, fertilising them with sperm in the laboratory, and transferring an embryo into the uterus. It is offered when natural conception is unlikely: blocked or damaged fallopian tubes, severe male factor infertility, endometriosis, ovulation disorders that have not responded to treatment, or unexplained infertility after investigation.
Ovarian reserve testing, uterine assessment, semen analysis and screening blood tests for both partners.
Daily injections for around 10 to 14 days, monitored by ultrasound and blood tests.
A short procedure under sedation to collect eggs; fertilisation occurs in the laboratory.
Usually a single embryo is transferred a few days later; the rest may be frozen.
A single fresh cycle usually requires two to three weeks in the country for the stimulation and retrieval, with the transfer a few days later. That can sometimes be planned around a shorter stay if monitoring is shared with a clinic at home, but Chinese hospitals generally prefer to run the monitoring themselves.
The strongest factors are female age at the time of egg retrieval, ovarian reserve, embryo quality and the cause of infertility. Success rates published by clinics are not a personal prediction, and comparisons between clinics are unreliable because patient populations differ. Be cautious with any clinic quoting a guaranteed outcome.
Send both partners' fertility reports and documents. A medical assistant will confirm eligibility and arrange the consultation.
