IVF Procedures

Because we specialize in Natural Cycle IVF and Minimal Stimulation IVF, our foremost efforts involve these procedures. But we realize that these techniques may not be for every patient, so there are other IVF treatments to choose from. Here is what you can consider by becoming a patient at Life IVF:

  • Natural Cycle IVFis the first option offered when patients meet the criteria. With this treatment option, the patient completes an in vitro fertilization treatment sans fertility medication.
  • Minimal Stimulation IVFinvolves the use of oral medication with very few injections. Patients are minimally exposed to fertility medication but results are comparable to those of conventional IVF.
  • Optimal Stimulation IVFinduces a patient to produces up to 10 eggs per retrieval cycle. This treatment is used for egg donors or others who want to bank their eggs for future use. There is some use of medication using this procedure.
  • Conventional IVFinvolves active use of fertility medication and a set schedule of daily injections. At Life IVF Center, only selected patients receive this treatment since most prefer NC-IVF and MS-IVF.
  • IUI or intra uterine inseminationis used to collect the male partner's semen. After washing the semen sample, it is deposited inside the female partner's uterine cavity. IUI is used for male patients with retrograde ejaculation or poor sperm quality. Female patients with cervical issues or retroverted uterus cam also benefit from this treatment.
  • Diminished Ovarian Reservereflects a reduction in a woman's natural reserve of eggs. At Life IVF Center we work with such patients to help them conceive using their own egg.
  • Oocyte Egg Cryopreservationallows a woman's eggs to be retrieved, frozen and stored for use in the future. When the patient decides to become pregnant, the frozen eggs will be thawed and fertilized. The embryos will then be transferred to the uterus.
