Short Answer
Before leaving China after IVF, foreign patients should confirm they have a usable record package instead of relying on memory or scattered messages. The most practical handoff includes the cycle summary, lab results, medication instructions, discharge notes, and any documents needed for home monitoring or later second opinions.
What To Keep
- Cycle or stage summary
- Key lab results and monitoring summaries
- Medication instructions and discharge notes
- Consent copies or treatment paperwork when available
- Contact information for the clinic team handling later questions
- Any translated summary provided for future care coordination
What To Check Before Departure
- Can a later clinic or home doctor understand what happened during the cycle?
- Do the records explain medications, dates, and next-step expectations clearly enough?
- Are the records available in a shareable digital format, not only on paper?
- Do you know who to contact if a later doctor needs clarification?
