| 12/13 | Final Maturation | HCG/Agonist Trigger | Pre-op Instructions |
| 14/15 | Retrieval Day | Anesthesia (Short) | Post-op Antibiotics |
Note: Surplus embryos are vitrified for long-term storage, allowing for future sibling cycles without repeating stimulation.
| Cycle Day | Stage | Clinical Action |
|---|---|---|
| Day 2/3 | HRT Start | Begin Estrogen (Oral) to build the lining. |
| Day 12-14 | Lining Check | Ultrasound to ensure lining is triple-layered & ≥ 8mm. |

| Day 19-21 | The Transfer | Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET). Painless 15-min procedure. Total Clinic stay 3-4 hours. Same Day Discharged |
| Day/Week | Stage | Injectables | Oral/Vaginal |
|---|---|---|---|
| Day 2-18 | Endometrium Prep | None | Estrogen Tablets/Gel |
| Day 19-21 | Embryo Transfer | Progesterone (IM) | Vaginal, Oral and Injectable Progesterone |
| Week 4-6 | Pregnancy Confirm | Progesterone (Cont.) | Estrogen (Cont.) |
| Week 7-8 | Heartbeat Scan | Progesterone (Cont.) | Gradual Weaning Plan |
Once a healthy heartbeat is confirmed at Week 6–8, we coordinate your transition to your home country.
