Ivf .. how long?

Question

So assuming everything works out the first try ( I know that’s not a guarantee but just trying to get an idea) 
How long does ivf process take from very first start of process to becoming pregnant? I am 43 and would want the embryos tested so they would have to be frozen which adds time. Just looking for a ball park time frame if anyone could shed some light I’d appreciate it ! Thank you

Answer

A freeze all ivf cycle with my clinic is about 3.5-4 months minimum. Each clinic will have their own protocol though. I started stims February 3rd. Retrieval February 15. My first cycle after retrieval is a “wash month”. They want your body to recover from retrieval and stims. During wash month we do uterine procedures (hysteroscopy, mock transfer). Then when my next cycle starts end of March/early April I can start transfer protocol (assuming they don’t find any issues on my uterine procedures) and transfer sometime in May. So many things can happen to delay it though. So I just know best case scenario we transfer in May, but could easily be further out than that.

Answer

Best case scenario is 6/7 weeks weeks but after 3 years and multiple cycles never make plans , just go with the flow and expect to deal with delays and waits.

Answer

My personal experience with a freeze all cycle, period started July 10, stimmed from July 13-23, retrieval on 25, transferred October 8.
