Before your appointment
Assessment confirms suitability and tubal patency where indicated. The appointment is timed to ovulation and may require scans or hormone tests.
Time, hospital stay & appointments
Times are planning guides, not national averages or guaranteed schedules. They reflect published provider examples and patient guidance. The treating team confirms the individual plan, time needed near the clinic and fitness to travel. Waiting lists are not included.
- Procedure or course duration
- NHS example: insemination itself usually takes no more than 10 minutes.
- Hospital stay
- Usually a sequence of outpatient visits; procedures requiring sedation add recovery time. The clinic confirms any need to stay nearby.
- Visits and repeat attendance
- Assessment, cycle monitoring and any procedure or results appointments are scheduled separately. The number depends on the protocol and response; ask which steps may safely be arranged in your home country.
- Recovery and travel planning
- Follow the clinic’s pregnancy-test date and medicine instructions. Further cycles are a separate clinical decision, not an automatic fixed course.
