IVF in Morocco from abroad: plan your stay remotely, see the doctor in Fes

Do you live abroad and are you considering IVF, or a fertility check-up before IVF, during a stay in Morocco? Here is how we prepare your visit with you, step by step, up to your consultation at the Boudra Fertility Center in Fes.

Step 1: message us on WhatsApp

The easiest way is to message us on WhatsApp at +212 661 35 34 78. A message is already written for you: you just need to complete it.

Useful things to tell us

• your country of residence;
• the dates you will be in Morocco, even approximate;
• your request: IVF, fertility check-up, gynecology follow-up or pregnancy follow-up;
• the language you prefer: French, Arabic or darija (some English spoken);
• when you can be reached, taking the time difference into account.

What to keep for the consultation

Please do not send medical documents or details about your health in this message. We will tell you what to prepare, and the doctor will discuss it with you at the practice.

Prefer not to use WhatsApp? Fill in the “I live abroad” form on our international patients page, or call us.

Step 2: a short exchange to guide you

Our team gets back to you on WhatsApp or by phone. This exchange is used to:

• understand your request and your dates;
• tell you which tests and documents to bring;
• offer you an appointment date at the practice during your stay.

This exchange is not a consultation. There is no diagnosis, no prescription and no treatment decision remotely: all of this is done with Dr Najib Boudra at the practice.

Step 3: prepare your test results and documents

Tests you have already had

If you have already had tests in your country (blood tests, scans, semen analysis, reports from IVF or insemination), gather them. They help the doctor understand your history. All tests done abroad are accepted if they are less than 3 months old. We will tell you which ones are useful.

Administrative documents

Bring an identity document for each person attending. If IVF is being considered, bring the marriage certificate, blood tests and radiological exams.

How to share them with us

Bring your documents on the day of the consultation. If sending them in advance is useful, we will tell you how to do it, only with your agreement.

To prepare this appointment, you can also read our article on the fertility consultation: what to bring and how to prepare.

Step 4: book your appointment around your dates

We will offer you an appointment while you are in Fes. Summer and the end-of-year holidays are in high demand. The practice is closed on both Eids, so the earlier you write to us, the easier it is to find a date that suits you.

For IVF, the couple preferably comes to the consultation together.

Step 5: your consultation at the practice in Fes

Dr Najib Boudra, a gynecologist in Fes with more than 30 years of experience, sees you at 7 Rue Abdelkrim El Khattabi, 30000 Fes, 1st floor (next to the Hôtel Splendid, opposite the Red Crescent). French, Arabic and darija are spoken at the practice; some English spoken.

During the consultation, the doctor:

• goes over your history, your test results and any previous treatment;
• examines you and performs an ultrasound scan if needed;
• explains the options suited to your situation, for example further tests, insemination, IVF or ICSI;
• answers your questions. Quote depending on each case, after reviewing your file.

Step 6: align the timeline with your stay

Why your cycle sets the dates

IVF follows the rhythm of the woman’s cycle. Stimulation, egg retrieval and embryo transfer follow one another on dates that cannot be chosen freely. The timeline is therefore built during the consultation, taking into account your cycle and the dates you are in Morocco. The main stages are explained in our article IVF in Fes: the steps, from appointment to embryo transfer.

How long to stay in Fes

For IVF, plan about 2 weeks in Fes. The couple’s work-up is prepared remotely, and follow-up too. Stimulation is monitored in your country of residence; you come to Fes for the check before egg retrieval, the retrieval itself and the transfer.

What helps

• contacting us early, as soon as your travel dates become clearer;
• keeping some flexibility in your return date, if you can;
• telling us clearly the date you need to leave.

Step 7: after you return home

Once you are back home, follow-up is possible depending on the case. If you see a doctor where you live, keep your reports: they will be useful to them.

What we do not do remotely

• no remote medical consultation;
• no diagnosis or medical advice by message;
• no remote prescription;
• no promise of results: every situation is different, and the doctor discusses yours honestly at the practice.
