Hints and tips
Satellite clinics
The assessment of patients, drug therapy and monitoring may take place at the satellite clinic but the egg collection, mixing of sperm and eggs, embryo culturing and embryo replacement are all carried out at the primary clinic.
Transport clinics
The assessment of patients, drug therapy, monitoring of patients and egg collection may take place at the transport clinic but the mixing of sperm and eggs, embryo culturing and embryo replacement are all carried out at the primary clinic.
