How many visits to the clinic for donor egg IVF?

[user1468742708]

I have only done IVF with my own eggs so but looking to switch to donor eggs. I was wondering how many visits to the clinic are required per cycle? Just one for embryo transfer or do you still have scans? There are not many clinics that do donor IVF near me but I could look a bit further away (such as London where there are lots of options) if not too many visits are required.

@user1468742708 I am just about to start our cycle of donor egg ivf using a fresh donor. The clinic appointments I need to attend are a down regulation scan, then a scan to check the lining of my womb after 10 days of HRT (been told they may need to do 2 scans for this depending on my lining). Then my husband needs to attend the clinic to do his part on egg collection day. Finally need to go for transfer.

Prior to this I haven't had to actually attend the clinic at all and everything was done virtually. I had recently (April) had a failed IVF cycle and the clinic was happy with all my scans and bloods taken during this cycle as less than 6 months ago. So didn't need to attend for these. There are a couple of donor specific bloods needed (CMV), my GP agreed to do these bloods and the clinic accepted a copy of the printed results.

I hope this helps. Any other questions I can try to help. But not actually starting till Friday!

Thanks for the info and best of luck for your cycle!
