Monitor close to home — or from abroad
Many Life IVF patients do not live nearby. A large share complete their monitoring locally, or even overseas, and travel in only for the procedures that must happen at a clinic.
- Baseline bloodwork and ultrasound monitoring can often be completed at a qualified facility near you, in the US or internationally
- Our nursing team coordinates your cycle directly — reviewing results, adjusting your protocol, and keeping your outside monitoring clinic aligned
- You travel in to either our Irvine or Arcadia location for the procedures that require it, such as egg retrieval and transfer
- Consultations and follow-ups are available by phone or video where appropriate
