Mini-IVFTM Treatment, Less Is More
Patients considering IVF confront numerous obstacles and fears. Many are fearful of daily injections, the use of hormone medication over an extended period, and the possible side effects due to high levels of estrogen resulting from the development of a large number of follicles. The high cost of injectable medications is also an obstacle as is the risk of multiples and the resulting complications in pregnancy and delivery. As many as 40% of women who are undergoing traditional IVF opt out of further treatment for these reasons.

At New Hope Fertility, we provide a unique approach to IVF, which makes the process easier, less expensive, and does not reduce the chances for success. Mini-IVFTM treatment is a fertility approach that is intended to extract fewer eggs, but eggs of the best quality a woman can produce. This avoids the risk of ovarian hyperstimulation, and lowers the cost of medication by thousands of dollars. It reduces or eliminates the need for injections and avoids the need for progesterone injections after IVF. Mini-IVFTM treatment is a fertility approach developed by the Kato Ladies Clinic in Japan with which we are proud to be affiliated. To learn more, click on the link below.
