IVF timeline calculator
Put in the day you start stimulation and the calculator lays out the usual shape of a cycle: scans, likely retrieval window, fertilisation updates, transfer and the test date. Every clinic runs its own protocol, so treat this as a planning sketch for work and childcare, not a schedule.
Add your start date and the usual shape of a cycle will lay itself out.
Protocols differ a lot, and a long protocol adds two to three weeks of down regulation before day 1 above. Use this for booking time off and childcare, then follow the dates your clinic gives you.
