Mini Cycle IVF


Mini-IVF stands for a gentler approach towards IVF. Mini cycles of in vitro fertilization control the female hormones to encourage fewer eggs of a higher quality.This translates into minimal ovarian stimulation, aiming for 3-8 eggs of the very best quality your body can produce (which are the ones to give you best chance of a baby). This is generally achieved with oral medications, commonly the drug Clomid is used, instead of long regimens of daily injections.

Advantages

The result is a shorter treatment cycle, with less discomfort, less risk of side effects and very good results. Mini-IVF offers an alternative to couples who find it difficult to finance a full cycle of IVF.


The Disadvantages

Success rates are slightly lower than IVF with ICSI.
