What is mini IVF?

Mini IVF, or mini intense in vitro, is the treatment of fertility with lower costs, which is very similar to IVF, but with reduced doses of drugs for fertility and various timing. Mini IVF is also known as Micro IVF or low IVF stimulation. There are several significant differences between mini and standard IVF treatments, such as lower costs, less drugs, less eggs of higher quality and different timing for implantation. In the IVF standard, the initial phase of the ovarian stimulation is in which a huge amount of fertility drugs are used to get the ovaries to make as many eggs as possible. Much less medicines are used to treat mini IVF, with a set goal to produce several high -quality eggs. The use of less drugs dramatically reduces treatment costs, as a large part of the cost of IVF treatment is used in the process for fertility. This may result in the procedure more accessible to patients who cannot afford traditional IVF.

Reduced amount of pharmaceuticals used in Mini IVF for ovarian stimulation means a lower level of stimulation, which often leads to less eggs. It also reduces the risks of unpleasant side effects and problems such as ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, a potentially dangerous condition that may result from the use of drugs stimulating drugs. Mini IVF also often uses oral medicines instead of injections and supporters of the method claim to be less stressful and rather as a natural process of the body.

After the ovarian stimulation, eggs are obtained, with a typical yield of mini IVF being three to five eggs, unlike ten or more often produced by the standard method. The eggs are fertilized and carefully monitors the development into healthy embryos. Once they develop into a suitable stage, the embryos are then frozen for implantation during the later menstrual cycle. This is different from the standard procedure in which several embryos are returned to the mother's uterus for implantationimmediately.

embryos are frozen with mini IVF, as used drugs for fertility can affect uterine lining and reduce the chance of implantation. The embryos are spared for implantation during the natural cycle to increase the chances of success. Less eggs - often only one or two - are usually transferred back to the mother's uterus, because the uterus should be more hospitable for implantation, increasing the chance of success. Any remaining embryos are stored for future use.

with fewer embryos transferred during the cycle, the Mini IVF can reduce the risk of more births that are more common with conventional fertility treatment. Fans of the method claim to be less stressful on the mother's body with a similar successful level of pregnancy as standard methods, all at lower costs. Although it is relatively new, it seems to be a promising method of treatment with increasing acceptance.
