1. How do I do stimulation of the follicles?
    • Intended parents have two options: begin stimulation at your local clinic and arrive in Georgia on day 9 of the menstrual cycle (stay for 7 days), or complete the entire stimulation in Georgia, staying around 17 days from the start of your cycle. Arriving before your menstrual cycle begins is recommended.
  2. If I start stimulation at my clinic, who helps me with the stimulation protocol?
    • Our medical team approves the medical checkup and provides the stimulation protocol. We support you throughout the stimulation process, regardless of where it begins.
  3. Which option is preferred for stimulation?
    • Completing the entire process in Georgia with one doctor measuring follicles is the recommended option for consistency and thorough care.
  4. What method of stimulation is followed?
    • We use short antagonist protocols for stimulation, typically lasting 12-15 days.
  5. Do I need to do the injections myself?
    • Our medical team guides you through the first injection to ensure you feel confident. If you prefer assistance, you can visit the clinic for support from our nurses.
  6. How is egg collection performed? Are the patients awake?
    • Egg collection is done under mild anesthesia called sedation, so patients are not awake during the procedure.
  7. Do I stay in the clinic overnight after egg collection?
    • After egg collection, you stay at the clinic for a few hours. We provide infusions, ensure you feel well, conduct an ultrasound, and prescribe medications, including antibiotics if needed, before discharge.
  8. What happens in case of laparoscopic retrieval of the follicles?
    • If follicles are retrieved via laparoscopy, you will stay overnight at the clinic. The following day, the doctor will ensure you are fully fit before discharge.
  9. Can I perform stimulation if I don’t have a uterus or have a dysfunctional uterus?
    • Yes, stimulation can proceed. We begin with contraceptive pills for 14 days before starting stimulation. Success depends on individual fertility indications.
  10. When can I travel back after egg collection?
    • You may return home the next day after egg collection. For long flights, a 2-day gap is recommended for recovery.
