Mini-IVF
Mini-IVF, also known as Mild Stimulation IVF, aims to achieve pregnancy using a milder approach to hormonal stimulation. Compared to traditional IVF, it:
- Uses lower doses of medication: This minimizes side effects, making it potentially more comfortable for patients sensitive to conventional IVF's hormonal impact.
- Targets fewer eggs: Instead of stimulating multiple eggs, Mini-IVF focuses on harvesting a smaller number of high-quality oocytes.
- Reduces cost: With less medication and a shorter treatment time, Mini-IVF can be a more affordable option for some individuals or couples.
How does ICSI work?
- Sperm Retrieval: Sperm is collected through a simple procedure like ejaculation or, in some cases, retrieved surgically using techniques like TESE or MESA.
- Egg Retrieval: Mature eggs are retrieved from the ovaries through a minimally invasive procedure.
- Sperm Selection: Our highly skilled embryologists carefully select the healthiest and most motile sperm for injection.
- ICSI Procedure: Using specialized equipment and microscopic guidance, a single sperm is injected directly into the chosen egg.
- Embryo Culture and Selection: Fertilized eggs are monitored and nurtured in a controlled laboratory environment. Healthy embryos are selected for further development.
- Embryo Transfer: One or two chosen embryos are carefully transferred back into the uterus.
- Pregnancy Test and Support: Approximately two weeks after the transfer, a pregnancy test confirms if implantation has occurred. Our team continues to provide support and monitoring throughout the early pregnancy journey.
Benefits of ICSI
- Increased fertilization rates: ICSI significantly improves the chances of fertilization, even with limited or compromised sperm quality.
- Enhanced pregnancy success: By ensuring fertilization, ICSI contributes to higher pregnancy rates compared to traditional IVF in specific cases.
- Wider access to parenthood: ICSI empowers individuals and couples experiencing male factor infertility to achieve their dreams of parenthood.
- Tailored approach: At Lodav, we tailor the ICSI procedure to your specific needs and circumstances, optimizing success chances.
