Discover how your fertility treatment can be organised step by step when travelling from abroad, with a clear plan and personalised support throughout your IVF journey.
Stage 01
Ovarian stimulation & embryo creation
Your IVF cycle starts with ovarian stimulation, followed by egg collection and embryo development in the laboratory. If PGT-A is planned, suitable blastocysts undergo a biopsy and are frozen while genetic testing is carried out.
Stage 02
Frozen embryo transfer
The embryo transfer takes place in a separate stage, allowing the uterine lining to be prepared and monitored to ensure the best possible conditions for implantation. This second visit usually requires a stay of approximately seven days.
TWO WAYS TO COMPLETE YOUR TREATMENT
Choose the travel option
that fits your life.
Both options provide the same high standard of medical care and continuous involvement. The best option depends on your situation, preferences and distance from Barcelona.
OPTION 1
ONE TRIP
- Approximately 14 days -
Arrive around the start of your menstrual cycle. Baseline assessment, medication, monitoring and egg retrieval are completed in Spain. You can usually travel home the day after retrieval while embryo development continues in the laboratory.
OPTION 2
TWO SHORTER TRIPS
- First trip (1–2 days) -
Initial assessment and medication collection. Stimulation can then begin with remote monitoring.
- Second trip (around 7–8 days) -
Return to Spain for final monitoring and egg retrieval.
