Start Your Fertility Journey from Anywhere

• The Concept: Ovom’s "Hybrid Care" model separates the clinic from the location. You can start your journey from anywhere in the world and only travel to our Cascais clinic for the essential procedures (5–9 days total).
  ‍
• The Benefit: Reduces stress and travel costs while maintaining world-class clinical standards. Monitoring is done locally; high-tech procedures are done centrally.
  ‍
• The Technology: Our app serves as your "digital clinic," providing real-time access to your care team, test results, and even a live video feed of your embryos in the lab.
  ‍
• The Experience: It transforms fertility treatment from a logistical nightmare into a seamless, partially remote journey that fits around your life, not over it.

In traditional fertility care, the process often feels like a part-time job. The constant commute for blood draws, the early morning monitoring appointments, the waiting rooms — it all adds a layer of logistical stress to an already emotional journey.

At Ovom, we asked a fundamental question: Why does high-quality care have to happen entirely within four walls?

The answer is: it doesn't.

We have pioneered a hybrid fertility care model that blends the convenience of at-home diagnostics with the precision of our state-of-the-art clinic in Cascais, Portugal. This approach allows you to remain in the comfort of your home environment for the vast majority of your treatment, only traveling when it truly matters.

Here is exactly how this seamless journey works, step by step.

Phase 1: The "At-Home" Beginning

Duration: 1–4 Weeks | Location: Your Home

You do not need to fly to Portugal to get started. We bring the expertise to you.

Step 1: Get to Know Ovom

‍Everything begins with a conversation. You can speak to our expert team or join a virtual clinic walkthrough to get a feel for our philosophy and space, all from your living room.

Step 2: The Virtual Medical Consultation

You will have a comprehensive, one-on-one video consultation (1 hour) with your dedicated fertility specialist. We discuss your medical history, your goals, and your options. It is the same depth of care you would get in person, without the travel.

Step 3: Diagnostic Testing Near You

Instead of flying to us for blood work, we coordinate with your trusted local OBGYN or our network of partner clinics across Europe. We manage the logistics, ensuring the results are sent directly to us. You don't need to travel; results are discussed virtually.

Step 4: Your AI-Optimized Plan

Based on your unique biology, your doctor designs a bespoke treatment plan. We verify this plan using our AI algorithms to ensure we are optimizing for the highest possible success rates.

Step 5: Meet Your Care Coordinator

‍You are never alone in this. You get 24/7 access to your fertility team via the Ovom App. No waiting for callbacks; you get direct responses from the right person.

Phase 2: Stimulation & Monitoring (Hybrid)

Duration: 10–14 Days | Location: Home + Local Partner

This is the phase where you take medication to stimulate your ovaries. In a traditional clinic, you would be visiting the office every other day. With Ovom, you stay grounded in your daily life.

Step 6: Stimulation

You administer your medication at home to produce multiple mature eggs.

• Monitoring: You will need 2 to 4 monitoring appointments (blood tests and ultrasounds). These can be done at our partner clinics or your local OBGYN in your home city. We review the scans remotely and adjust your medication in real-time via the app.

Phase 3: The Destination Clinic (Cascais, Portugal)

Duration: ~5 to 9 Days | Location: Ovom Clinic, Cascais

Now, you travel. But you aren't traveling for a routine check-up; you are traveling for a transformative procedure in a serene, beachside environment.

Step 7: Egg Retrieval

‍You arrive at our Cascais clinic for your "trigger" medication and retrieval.

• The Experience: You are welcomed into a private suite. The procedure takes just 20 minutes under light sedation.
  ‍
• The Comfort: After a brief recovery with refreshments, you can head back to your accommodation—calm, rested, and cared for. The whole morning takes about 3 hours.

Step 8: Sperm Collection

If using a partner's sperm, collection happens on-site in a private, comfortable room on the same day. If using donor sperm, we handle the logistics of selecting and importing from trusted banks.

Step 9: Embryology (The Lab)

‍While you relax in Cascais, our lab does the heavy lifting.

• Live Updates: We use time-lapse incubators to grow your embryos. Uniquely, you can watch their progress via a real-time video feed in the Ovom App. You are virtually inside the lab with us.

Step 10: Embryo Transfer

5 to 6 days after retrieval, you return to the clinic for the transfer.

• The Procedure: It is a gentle 10–15 minute process to place the selected embryo into your uterus. No sedation is required.
  ‍
• Genetic Testing Option: If you opt for PGT-A testing, we will freeze the embryos at this stage and plan a frozen transfer for a later cycle.

Phase 4: Returning Home

Location: Home

Step 11: Travel Home

You are usually cleared to fly home the same day as your transfer. You return to your own bed, your own support system, and your normal routine.

Step 12: The Pregnancy Test

10 to 12 days later, you perform a blood test in your home city to confirm the result.

• If Positive: We guide your early scans and coordinate a seamless handover to your local OBGYN or midwife.
  ‍
• If Negative: We don't just send a letter. We discuss the next steps compassionately, whether that is a protocol adjustment or a new plan.

Why This Model Works

By removing the friction of daily clinic visits, we lower your stress levels, which we know is beneficial for both your mental health and your treatment outcomes. We combine the best of digital health (convenience, transparency) with the best of physical medicine (world-class lab, expert hands).
