how will ovarian stimulation and egg retrieval fit into my daily life?

There is no perfect time to begin ovarian stimulation and egg retrieval, but many patients choose to start the process during a stretch of lighter work or life responsibilities. Age and aging are often factors, so timing is commonly weighted into that decision. Knowing what to expect during egg retrieval helps you plan: it requires time and effort, and we highly encourage patients to pick a period when they can truly devote energy to the process.
