How many minimum visits and stay of patient is required for IVF or ICSI treatment?
After registration for IVF& consent, patient can inform the date of menses on phone, she is advised to take GnRH agonist injection s.c.in long protocol method or GnRH antagonist injections (injection can be ice-packed and given to the patient before hand at the time of registration). In this way patient visits can be minimized to 4 to 5 times in an IVF cycle when she is on gonadotropin injections. This is specially beneficial for our outstation patients. This reduces their stay, stress and cost. Patients have to stay in hospital for 2 to 3 hours on the day of ovum pick up and embryo transfer.
