What Happens After Your Miami Consultation? A Step-by-Step Guide for Couples Traveling to Brazil for Fertility Treatment

Your Miami consultation is just the beginning. Once you have met with your physician, reviewed your options, and decided to move forward, the path to treatment in São Paulo becomes very clear. Knowing what to expect at each stage helps you feel prepared, and it gives you the confidence to take each next step without second-guessing yourself.

At Chedid Grieco, we have built our fertility tourism model around making the post-consultation process as streamlined as possible for US-based couples. With 30 years of experience, 8,780 babies born, and a multilingual team fluent in Spanish, English, Portuguese, and French, we guide every patient through the process with the same personalized attention we offer in our Miami office.

Step 1: Your Personalized Treatment Plan

After your consultation, your physician will prepare a customized treatment plan based on your medical history, diagnostic results, and specific goals. This plan outlines the recommended protocol, whether it is in vitro fertilization, egg donation, or another approach, along with an estimated timeline and cost. You will receive a written quote at this stage, which allows you to plan your travel and finances with full clarity before committing to anything.

The American Society for Reproductive Medicine recognizes cross-border reproductive care as a growing and legitimate pathway for patients who face cost or access barriers at home, noting patients traveling for treatment deserve the same standard of care they would receive domestically. That is the standard we hold ourselves to at every step.

Step 2: Pre-Travel Testing

Once you confirm your treatment plan, the next phase involves completing any necessary pre-treatment diagnostic testing. Depending on your protocol, this may include hormone panels, ultrasound monitoring, or additional bloodwork. Many of these tests may be completed at a lab or OB-GYN near your home in the US, which means you do not need to travel to Brazil until your treatment window is ready.

Coordinating Your Timeline

Our team works with you to align your testing schedule with your cycle timing so your travel to São Paulo is purposeful and efficient. Most couples make one focused trip for treatment rather than multiple visits. We stay in contact throughout this phase to confirm results, adjust timing if needed, and ensure nothing delays your arrival.

Step 3: Traveling to São Paulo for Treatment

When your treatment window opens, you will travel to our state-of-the-art facility in São Paulo, Brazil. Couples often find the trip more manageable than expected, especially once our team is guiding logistics. Our packing and travel tips for fertility tourism in Brazil blog covers practical preparation details to help you feel ready before your flight.

During your stay, our clinical team handles every aspect of your care, from monitoring appointments to the procedure itself. Our multilingual staff ensures nothing is lost in communication at any point during treatment.

Step 4: Post-Treatment and Returning Home

After your procedure, you will receive a full clinical summary outlining your treatment details, embryology records, and any specific follow-up instructions. This documentation is designed to be shared with your OB-GYN or a local physician at home so your post-transfer care continues seamlessly after you return to the US. 

You can find answers to common post-treatment questions on our frequently asked questions page at any time. Our team is also happy to answer any questions or concerns you may have when you give us a call!
