Monitoring Visits:
Fine-Tuning Your Cycle
Over the course of your cycle, the Life IVF team will work with you to monitor your progress and adjust your plan to your body
Check In
To get started, you’ll check in with the Front Desk team. Once they’ve confirmed which tests you’ll be having during your visit, you can have a seat in the waiting area and a member of the nursing or hormone lab team will call your name when they’re ready for you.
Drawing Blood
Your first tests during monitoring are generally with our Hormone Lab. There, we’ll draw your blood to analyze. The samples are processed using advanced equipment on site to determine your hormone levels – a key clue to how your body responds to medications.
Fertility Ultrasound
After your blood draw, you will head to an ultrasound room, with or without a brief wait in between. There, a sonographer will evaluate your uterine and ovarian condition, with data that may include the number and size of follicles and endometrial thickness.
Processing and Analyzing Results
Unlike many lab results that require 1-2 days, your test results and treatment plan will generally be available in a few hours. If you cannot wait, please let a nurse so they can make other arrangements. They may contact you by phone or patient portal to inform you regarding next steps.
Treatment Plan
Our team will notify you when your treatment plan is complete. This will factor in all the data from your tests and ultrasound to modify
Based on your treatment plan, our nurses will guide you through “med teach”, instructing you on how to use each medication prescribed in your plan. If you have any questions, our team is always happy to help!
Checkout & Next Appointment
If you don’t have any more questions, just return to the Front Desk to check out and schedule your next visit, whether it’s for another monitoring appointment, a procedure, or ortherwise.
All done!

What patients are saying
This is my 3rd baby from Life IVF Center (4 pregnancies, one resulted in a late miscarriage). I am so thankful for Dr. Yelian and his staff. Since I have done 5 egg retrievals and 5 separate embryo transfers, I have been able to get to know Dr. Yelian at a personal level. Not only is he very meticulous with his work, he also spends time to individualize each plan to cater exactly to your needs and specific levels per cycle. For example, I was on different levels of medication from the first time I saw him in 2010, to the most recent time in 2015 (as I became older). Each time I visit he has updated his technology, has attended new conferences, and is providing me with the most up-to-date plan. I appreciate not only his pricing, I love that he offers mini-stim-IVF for less impact on my body, and also that he gives quality care. Thank you!!!

At 43 years old after 4 rounds of conventional IVF, 1 miscarriage, and no PGS normal embryos left, we were told to look to donor eggs. A friend had mentioned Life IVF to us and since it was less expensive than conventional IVF and seemed to make sense scientifically, we decided to give it one last shot with my own eggs. We committed to 6 rounds of low stim IVF while banking them to PGS test one final time. We lucked out and got one male normal embryo. With a combination of luck from Above and scientific talent, that embryo took and we have our miracle son today. I credit Dr. Yelian and the Life IVF lab for combining the care, the expertise, and the hope which resulted in our beautiful son. No words can express how greatful I am and I'm so thankful for not giving up. It can happen.

Thank you Dr Yelian and the LifeIVF medical team for all the support! We delivered our second child in Japan last January. Her sister (25 months, also a Life IVF graduate) can't be happier about her little sister. We wish the best for every patient at Life IVF.
