One IVF cycle should take roughly about 2-3 months. The process takes about 4-6 weeks prior to the egg retrieval process. The embryos, if fertilized, will be implanted after 1 week roughly. In addition, it is advisable to wait for at least 2 weeks to wait for a pregnancy test. However, not all patients are successful in the first attempt. It is common for the patients to go through multiple IVF cycles before conceiving.
Once the treatment is successful and the pregnancy is confirmed, you will have to meet your fertility specialist for a few blood tests and eventually for ultrasounds to ensure that your pregnancy is continuing smoothly. Once the heartbeat of the fetus is checked and verified, you will be referred to a gynecologist and obstetrician for further follow-ups.
