Arrival in Barbados


The use of the oral contraceptive pill allows us to predict in most cases exactly when you will be required in Barbados. You will find an example of a routine treatment cycle below. Please note this is an example only and every patient's treatment does vary.

The following medications will be used in your cycle and you will need to let the Coordinator know if you can access them:

1. An oral contraceptive pill

2. Buserelin Nasal Spray OR Lupron injection

3. Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) or human Menopausal Gonadotrophins (hMG) injections.

Your arrival in Barbados will depend on access to the medications and how much of the monitoring can be done in your own country.
Once in Barbados, you will meet with your clinician and nurse and continue treatment.

At any point a counselling session can also be scheduled.
Egg collection will be done following approximately 10-14 days of FSH/hMG injections depending on your response to the medication.
You will be able to return home the day after the embryo transfer.
