How the Mini-IVF™ Helps Women Suffering From Endometriosis

Recent studies prove that large amounts of fertility medications do not increase your chances of getting pregnant through IVF treatment. Look: My revolutionary Mini-IVF™ is a cutting-edge treatment for women suffering from infertility due to endometriosis. Endometriosis Awareness Month in March is a movement to increase knowledge about a disease that is a leading cause of female infertility.

National Endometriosis Awareness Month Facts

Here’s the deal: Endometriosis affects one out of ten women.

• Endometriosis is one of the top three causes of female infertility
• 60 percent of women suffering from endometriosis have no symptoms other than the inability to conceive naturally.
• An estimated 6.5 million women in the U.S. – and 200 million globally – are affected by endometriosis
• The most common symptom of endometriosis is painful periods
• Endometriosis often goes undiagnosed or is misdiagnosed for years because women and teenage girls believe painful periods are normal – this myth must be denounced

Mini-IVF™ Successfully Treats Women Suffering From Endometriosis

If you are suffering from infertility due to a history of endometriosis, our Mini-IVF™ can increase your chances of pregnancy without the need for large dosages of costly fertility medications used to produce an excessive number of eggs. Here’s the deal: The goal with a Mini-IVF™ protocol is to produce between 3 and 5 quality eggs per fresh cycle. The best part: Pregnancy success rates for Mini-IVF™ are comparable to Conventional IVF.

Mini-IVF™ Overview

Because lower dosages of fertility medications are prescribed to only produce 3 to 5 high quality eggs, the patient’s cost per Mini-IVF™ cycle is reduced. With a Mini-IVF™ protocol, the patient’s physical discomfort is lessened because her body is not forced into producing the 10 to 15 eggs reached in a Conventional IVF cycle.

Look: The Mini-IVF™ protocol in a nutshell.

• A fertility medication regimen to produce 3 to 5 quality eggs
• Cycle monitoring through ultrasound imaging and blood tests
• Surgical egg retrieval
• Fertilization of egg and sperm in vitro via (ICSI)
• Culture and monitoring of embryo(s) via EmbryoScope technology
• Grading and selection of quality embryo(s) for fresh transfer and/or future (FET)
• Single Embryo Transfer (SET)

Candidates for Mini-IVF™

Mini-IVF™ is the best treatment protocol for those women who have been:

• Diagnosed with blocked or damaged Fallopian tubes due to endometriosis
• Diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)
• Diagnosed as having a risk of developing Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS)
