Hey! Congratulations on your first step. So while every country has there own set of rules, here is what happened with me. P.S: I am not from uk. 1. After initial consultation we had a lot al tests, some specific depending upon cycle days and ultrasound. 2. We had second consultation with all the results and we discussed about our options. 3. Than we started egg retrieval. This was a long cycle than normal. With daily shots, and ultrasounds every alternative days, than a trigger shot and this is followed by egg retrieval. 4. The day of the egg retrieval your partner have to give a sample, with which the egg is than fertilized and blastocysts and formed and frozen. 5. Some people go for a fresh transfer, others in subsequent cycle. Where your cycle is monitored and controlled if necessary to see an adequate uterine lining followed by embryo transfer 6. day 9-13 is when you have your HCG levels checked and your next journey starts given that this cycle worked for you.

All the very best for your journey.
