We talk through step by step, day by day what to expect including:
Preparing for an IVF cycle 
Pretreatment investigations 
Optimising health of gametes(egg and sperm) for IVF
Legislative requirements
Pretreatment clinical preparation and education 
Starting a cycle: with period versus scheduled
What is the time line of an IVF cycle
2 weeks prep, monitoring
The OPU
Luteal phase support
The Embryo Transfer
The two week wait
