CHANGE THE PURPLE TEXT FOR LOCAL ED CASES
Most of our out of town recipients of donor eggs have the monitoring of their uterine lining (usually only 1 ultrasound test needed) done in their home area. Then the couple comes here the day before (or early morning of) the donor's egg retrieval. They usually then stay in the area until the embryo transfer. This then becomes a total time here of about 4-6 days.
In all cases, the male partner needs to be here by the day before (or early morning of) the donor's egg retrieval procedure. We need his sperm on the day of the egg retrieval in order to inseminate the donor eggs. The male can then leave our area and return with the female partner for the embryo transfer procedure several days later. The female recipient needs to arrive here by the day before (or early morning of) the scheduled embryo transfer procedure.
We perform the embryo transfer procedure either 3 days, or 5 days (blastocyst transfer) after the egg retrieval. We then request that you have "modified bed rest" for the remainder of that day (day of the transfer procedure). However, many (successful) couples have traveled back to their home areas that same day.
