Counting from the moment of insemination, the duration of the procedure is just 15 minutes plus a rest time of 15-30 minutes. On the contrary, if we consider the entire procedure, including the ovarian stimulation phase, it can be extended up to two months:
- One month to monitor the cycle using contraceptives
- Two weeks of ovarian stimulation until the day of ovulation
- One day for the insemination procedure itself
- About two weeks (i.e. two-week wait) before taking a pregnancy test
In any case, since we depend on each woman's response to medications as well as her particularities, these time frames may vary slightly.
