Hi,

Readiness for IVF will depend on a number of factors. Male factor will be checked by semen analysis. Your ovaries at 49 years may not be having enough reserve of eggs. This has to be confirmed by AMH levels. Also are you open to oocyte donation and does the IVF clinic you are planning to go to offer it?
Your lining of the womb needs to be checked by ultrasound and hormonal support needs to be given to help the embryo to stick this will require alot of planning. Also any other factors like fibroids and endometriosis needs to be ruled out.
The likely hood of successful IVF is inverse to the age of the mother .So, for you the chances are much less compared to a women less than 35 years.
Actual figures depend on the clinic.
Yes you can travel a day or two after IVF.

Hope this helps.
Regards.
