This is a general guide that will take you through what to expect during your upcoming treatment cycle. Please note that your personalized treatment cycle and timeline will depend on how your body responds throughout your cycle. According to your protocol, your treatment cycle will take approximately 3-4 weeks. Please note that monitoring appointments will be scheduled between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. during your treatment cycle. This ensures that there is enough time to process your tests within our lab so that your doctor can review your test results and provide you with same-day instructions.

1) Reporting Your Day 1

Your Day 1 is considered the first day of full flow (not spotting) of your period. When you are ready to report your Day 1, please email the Day 1 Team at day1@triofertility.com with the following information:

  • Your Full Name (as it appears on your Health Card)
  • Your Date of Birth
  • The Date of Your Day 1
  • Your TRIO Physician
  • Treatment Type (ERA/EMMA/ALICE)
  • Your Monitoring Location (Downtown, Thornhill, North York)
  • Any days you will be unavailable to come to the clinic

Please note: TRIO requires all patients and applicable partners to have up-to-date infectious diseases bloodwork on file in order to proceed with treatment. Up-to-date means within one year, except for patients using a donor or gestational carrier. For these patients, please confirm with the Third Party Coordinator.

2) Receiving Your Initial Appointment Details

Within 48 hours of reporting your Day 1, you will receive an email from the Day 1 Team, which will include your:

  • Appointment Details for Initial Tests on Day 2-5 of your cycle
  • App Instructions

3) Attending Your Assessment Day Appointment

Your Assessment Day appointment includes Day 2-5 bloodwork. You will also sign up to see your nurse to see how your cycle is progressing.

After your appointment, please visit the pharmacy to pick up your Estrace medication.

If your Assessment Day test results are within the normal range, you will receive an update on your iMineIVF app after 3:30 pm with instructions for starting your Estrace medication.

4) Lining Check & Bloodwork

After approximately 2 weeks of taking Estrace, you will return to the clinic for an empty bladder transvaginal ultrasound, bloodwork, and to meet with your nurse to assess how your endometrial lining is progressing.

5) Starting Progesterone

If your bloodwork and endometrial lining look optimal, you will receive an update on your app after 3:30 pm with instructions for starting Progesterone. Your nurse will confirm when you are to take your last dose of progesterone (this is usually done on the morning of your biopsy). You will continue taking Estrace until your nurse advises you to stop.

6) Biopsy Day

Your biopsy will be scheduled on approximately the 6th day of Progesterone. Please note that the fee for your biopsy will be due in full on this day.

7) Next Steps

Once your cycle is complete, you will need to arrange a follow-up appointment with your TRIO physician to discuss your results and next steps.
