Your Initial Consultation

Your Initial
Consultation

Before we can get started, we have to get to know each other better. The initial consultation affords us the opportunity to do this and is an essential preliminary step to treatment.

We highly recommend coming to our clinic for your consultation. This way, you can see our facilities first-hand and meet face-to-face with one of our doctors who will personally assess your case, describe the treatment plan in detail, and address any queries you may have.

 

 

Your Initial Consultation

However, if you cannot travel to Prague, we do offer consultation online with our doctor, free of charge. 

We can generally schedule your in-person initial consultation within 1-2 weeks of request and offer appointments Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. For many, it is possible to fly here and back home on the same day. Remote consultations can be arranged even faster.

Treatment

Treatment

Treatment begins at home on the second day of your menstrual cycle with ovarian stimulation, using special medications to help your body produce a larger number of eggs than usual. 

Ultrasound scans on the 7th and 9th day of your cycle check endometrial thickness and confirm your stimulation medication dosage is optimal. These scans are performed at our clinic.

Around the 12th day of your cycle, your eggs are retrieved at our clinic and carefully preserved using the modern freezing method of vitrification. They are then safely stored in our facility until the day you need them.

 

Length of Stay

 

Recommended
If you have your ultrasound scan on the 7th day of your cycle performed back home, you may arrive in Prague on the 9th day to have your second scan conducted at our clinic and to complete your anaesthetic pre-assessment. This means your total stay will be about 5 days. Before arriving, you must provide us with the results of your first scan.
 
Extended 
If you wish to remain in Prague for the duration of treatment, you may arrive on the second day of your cycle to commence ovarian stimulation. In this arrangement, both ultrasound scans will be conducted at our clinic, as well as anaesthetic pre-assessment, and your total stay will be about 7 days.

Pre-treatment Tests for Social Freezing

Pre-treatment Tests
for Social Freezing

In preparation for treatment, it is important for us to have as much information as possible regarding your health. Tests for these purposes fall into two categories: compulsory and recommended. These may be conducted at our clinic at the time of your initial consultation or in your home country (required in the case of remote consultation). If you have your tests done at home, we will need the results emailed to us prior to the consultation.

Fertility blood test to check levels of hormones FSH, LH, AMH, PRL, TSH and E2 should be performed between 2nd and 5th day of menstruation
