Your IVF calendar: What happens when?

Your treatment plan has key dates, but some may change as your body responds.

What you should know

Ask for a calendar showing medicine start dates, tests, scans, trigger shot, retrieval, transfer plans, and pregnancy testing. Save the clinic phone number where you can find it fast. Check which instructions are fixed and which could change.

What to ask your care team

“Which dates are final, which may change, and who tells me?”

One important reminder

Use the calendar from your own clinic for medication and trigger timing.

Before your next visit

Write down your questions. Bring your medicine list and any test results you have. Ask for a plan in writing. If an answer is not clear, ask your team to explain it in a different way.
