A Canadian clinic teaching video that walks through an IVF cycle from ovarian stimulation and monitoring to egg retrieval, fertilisation in the laboratory and embryo transfer.

Useful if you are about to start IVF in Canada and want an overview of what each stage of a cycle involves.

Antega shares this as general orientation. Monitoring schedules, protocols and clinic routines differ between Canadian clinics and provinces, so your own clinic instructions always take priority.

Key takeaways

  • An IVF cycle usually moves through stimulation, monitoring, egg retrieval, fertilisation and embryo transfer.
  • Appointment frequency and protocol choices are individual and set by your own clinic.
  • Not every cycle reaches every stage, and your team will explain any change of plan.
