In Georgia, third-generation IVF procedures usually require two visits to the hospital, with a total duration of approximately 2–3 months. A well-planned schedule helps to coordinate family matters, document preparation, and travel arrangements, thereby reducing the stress caused by unexpected changes. The following is a general timeline; however, the actual process may vary depending on the hospital's requirements and individual patient circumstances.

2 | Second Phase: First Visit to the Hospital (Approximately 12–15 Days)
● The first visit to the hospital focuses on preparing for egg retrieval. The entire process takes about 12–15 days.
● Arrival at the hospital for registration, hormone level checks, and ultrasound examinations.
● Ovulation induction begins according to the treatment plan, with regular monitoring of follicle development.
● Once the follicles are mature, egg retrieval is performed.
● Embryos are fertilized in vitro and cultured to the blastocyst stage.
● Trophoblast cells from the blastocysts are collected for PGT analysis. | | 3 |
● The PGT analysis results will be sent to a chromosome screening laboratory. It usually takes 2–3 weeks to get the results.
● During this period, you can return to your normal life and work.
● Keep in touch with your consultant to stay informed about the progress of the results.
● After the results are available, your doctor will interpret them and confirm which embryos are suitable for transplantation. |
| 4 | **Phase Four: Second Transfer (Approximately 10–15 Days)**
- Based on the results of the PGT test and the preparation of the endometrium, a second transfer will be scheduled.
- Upon arrival at the hospital, a recheck will be conducted to ensure that both the endometrium and hormone levels meet the required standards.
- The endometrium will be prepared according to medical recommendations.
- Only embryos that have passed the screening process will be selected for transfer.
- After the transfer, the patient will need to stay in the hospital for observation, and any necessary medications will be administered as directed by the doctor. |

Stage Five: Returning to Country After Testing for PregnancyAfter the embryo transfer, follow the doctor's instructions and have a blood test for HCG at the specified time in the hospital. Once pregnancy is confirmed, arrangements can be made to return to your country.
● Have the blood test around 10–14 days after the transfer;
● Continue with progesterone support as prescribed by the doctor;
● Coordinate with domestic prenatal check-ups and attend subsequent appointments on time.
| Warm reminder: You can return to normal life and work during the waiting period between two visits to Georgia. It is recommended to consult with a consultant in advance to arrange your schedule accordingly, so that you can avoid working peaks and holidays. |
