Mild Stimulation IVF
The onlyn difference in thisn method of IVF is the dose of follicle stimulating injections we give you. Mild IVF involves lower doses of fertility drugs, sometimes over a shorter period, and is expected to produce fewer but high-quality eggs. Mild IVF exemplifies the management axiom “Less is more” in the context of IVF treatment.
Mild Stimulation IVF reduces the risk of Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS) in younger patients, thus enhancing the safety and well-being of these women.
In older women with reduced fertility reserves, it lowers medication costs by avoiding the traditional high-dose FSH approach. The pioneers of this approach believe that it only recuits those follicles who are ready to be recruited thus avoiding.
We recommend this option for women who have experienced OHSS in the past and those over 40 with low AMH (fertility reserve) levels, who would traditionally receive higher doses of FSH/hMG (follicle-stimulating injections). The cost savings on injections is an added bonus.
Couples should, however, be aware of the risk of poor stimulation, which could lead to cycle cancellation or producing very few eggs (or none at all). So, proper counseling is essential before choosing this option.
Benefits of Mild Stimulation IVF
-
Reduced Risk of OHSS
Using lower doses of medication reduces the chance of developing ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, making the process safer.
-
Comparable Success Rates
Doctors may consult other IVF comparable options that will achieve similar live birth rates like conventional IVF for women with a good prognosis.
-
Better Tolerance
Responders patients experience fewer side effects and discomfort from the Mild Stimulation IVF treatment while protecting the donors from the risks of high stimulation
-
Minimal Medication
Lower medication requires fewer visits to the clinic and leads to reduced overall Treatment costs. Mild stimulation results in a sufficient number of oocytes required for a single recipient.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)
Q1. What is Mild IVF, and how does it differ from conventional IVF?
Ans: Mild IVF is a fertility treatment that uses lower doses of stimulation drugs over a shorter period compared to conventional IVF. The aim is to produce a smaller number of high-quality eggs with fewer side effects.
This approach is may be more cost-effective, focusing on quality over quantity.
Q2. Who is a good candidate for Mild IVF?
Ans: Mild IVF is most suitable for women with previous OHSS when conventional ovarian stimulation protocols were used. It will also suit women who prefer a less intensive treatment or those who are concerned about the side effects of conventional IVF. It may be recommended for younger women, those with a good ovarian reserve.
In older women with low ovarian reserve, Mild IVF is a reasonable option to consider, instead trying to use high dose expensive ovarian stimulation protocols.
Q3. What are the success rates of Mild IVF?
Ans: Success rates for Mild IVF can vary based on factors such as age and fertility reserve. While the success rates of Mild IVF per cycle may be slightly lower than conventional IVF, studies suggest that over multiple cycles, the cumulative success rates can be comparable.
For women under 35, success rates can range from 15% to 25% per cycle.
Q4. What are the benefits of Mild IVF?
Ans: The key benefits of Mild IVF include a lower risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), fewer side effects from fertility drugs, and a more natural approach to fertility treatment. It is also typically less expensive than conventional IVF and involves fewer clinic visits and monitoring sessions, making it less disruptive to daily life.
Q5. Are there any risks or downsides to Mild IVF?
Ans: The main downside of Mild IVF is that fewer eggs are retrieved compared to conventional IVF, which may reduce the number of embryos available for transfer or freezing. This could mean more cycles are needed to achieve pregnancy, which may add to the total money you spend on your treatment.
Additionally, while Mild IVF is less intense, it may produce fewer eggs and embryos which may mean no embryo to transfer!
