How is the preparation before starting In Vitro Fertilization? The decision to undergo a treatment such as in vitro fertilization is a very important step for couples or individuals who want to fulfill the dream of having a baby. This assisted reproduction procedure offers great possibilities, but it requires prior preparation both medically and emotionally.

At Advanced Fertility Center Cancun we provide support and the best care at every stage of the treatment.
Preparation before starting in vitro fertilization is essential to increase the chances of success, provide safety, and at the same time give confidence to the patient who is about to begin the process.

Initial consultations and medical evaluations.

Before beginning an IVF treatment, the first step is to attend a fertility consultation. During this appointment, the specialist collects the medical history of the patient or the couple, evaluates reproductive background, and recommends diagnostic tests to learn about reproductive health in detail.

These evaluations usually include hormonal analysis, ovarian reserve studies, ultrasounds, semen tests, and other complementary exams. With this information, the doctor can offer a clear diagnosis and determine the best strategy for the treatment.

The initial consultation is also a space to answer questions, understand the stages of IVF, and discuss possible outcomes and expectations. It is here where personalized support begins, which is essential for patients to feel calm and prepared.

How is the medical preparation before starting an In Vitro Fertilization treatment?

• Controlled hormonal treatment.

Medications are prescribed to stimulate the ovaries to produce more eggs in a single cycle. These drugs are administered under medical supervision and make it possible to obtain the necessary number of eggs for fertilization.

• Regular monitoring.

During ovarian stimulation, ultrasounds and blood tests are performed to evaluate the response to treatment. This helps adjust the medication doses and schedule the ideal time for egg retrieval.

• Lifestyle recommendations.

The doctor usually suggests healthy habits such as a balanced diet, avoiding alcohol or tobacco consumption, and maintaining a moderate exercise routine. All of this contributes to optimizing reproductive health before IVF.

• How is the emotional preparation?

In addition to medical preparation, it is important to talk about the emotional aspect. Before starting in vitro fertilization, many couples feel a mix of excitement, hope, and also nervousness or anxiety. It is normal to experience fear about the outcome or concern about the process.

Emotional support may include sessions with psychologists specialized in fertility or simply receiving constant support from the clinic staff and the partner.

How is the In Vitro Fertilization procedure?

When the eggs reach the right maturity, the ovarian puncture is scheduled, an outpatient procedure in which the eggs are retrieved. These are fertilized in the laboratory with the sperm of the partner or a donor, giving rise to embryos that will be observed and selected by the specialists.

Subsequently, embryo transfer is performed, in which one or more high-quality embryos are placed in the patient’s uterus with the hope of achieving a successful pregnancy.
