Whilst this process aims to provide more than one egg (as with Natural Cycle IVF), you may not produce as many eggs and resulting embryos for transfer compared to a conventional IVF cycle.
Who is the Mild IVF best suited For?
It is suitable for:
- women who wish to minimise the amount of fertility medication they take during treatment
- older women who are more likely to produce less eggs during a conventional IVF cycle owing to a low ovarian reserve meaning even high doses of medication would not yield any more eggs
- those who wish to reduce the risk of OHSS, including women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) who are more likely to develop this condition within a conventional IVF cycle
How does it work?
The process is similar to conventional IVF in that it involves the collection of eggs under sedation and the fertilisation of those eggs in the lab. It is then followed by close monitoring of your developing embryos before an embryo transfer. Any remaining embryos of suitable quality not used in treatment can be frozen and stored for future treatment.
Risks and side effects
There are fewer side-effects and risks with Mild IVF than with a conventional cycle due to the lower dose of medication. Given that we may only be able to retrieve 2 to 4 eggs for fertilization, there will be fewer embryos which may mean that you may not have any remaining embryos to freeze. There is an increased chance that no eggs can be retrieved at all.[/TS-VCSC-Icon-Box-Tiny][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” el_class=”IntroBoxesRow”][vc_column el_class=”ServiceIntroboxLeftWhite”][vc_column_text el_class=”strong-600″]
FAQ
Q: What is Mild IVF?
A: Mild IVF, also called Modified Natural Cycle IVF, is a fertility treatment that uses a lower dose of medication during a woman’s natural menstrual cycle to stimulate the ovaries and produce a few eggs for collection and fertilisation.
Q: Who is Mild IVF best suited for?
A: Mild IVF is ideal for women who want to minimise fertility medications, older women with low ovarian reserve, or women with PCOS who want to reduce the risk of OHSS.
Q: How does the Mild IVF procedure work?
A: The Mild IVF procedure involves collecting eggs under sedation, fertilising them in a lab, monitoring developing embryos, and transferring the best-quality embryo into the uterus. Any suitable embryos remaining can be frozen for future use.
Q: What is the difference between Natural and Mild IVF?
A: Natural IVF uses no medication and tracks the one egg a woman produces naturally, while Mild IVF adds a small dose of fertility medication to produce a few eggs, aiming for better chances of success with fewer side effects.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1511790456603{padding-bottom: 35px !important;}”][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1510242553330{margin-top: 0px !important;}”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_custom_heading text=”Treatments” font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:center” css=”.vc_custom_1514627787371{padding-top: 35px !important;}” el_class=”titleHeader”][vc_custom_heading text=”Find out more about our related services” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:center” el_class=”titlesubHeader” css=”.vc_custom_1511790599936{padding-bottom: 35px !important;}”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vc_column_text el_class=”ServicesMenu1″][ubermenu config_id=”servicesubmenus” menu=”66″][/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vc_column_text][ubermenu config_id=”servicesubmenuyell” menu=”67″][/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vc_column_text][ubermenu config_id=”servicesubmenus” menu=”68″][/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” el_class=”Services2ColRow” css=”.vc_custom_1511790807439{background-color: #f5f8f6 !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/2″ offset=”vc_hidden-lg vc_hidden-md vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs”][vc_custom_heading text=”Why Choose Us?” css=”.vc_custom_1511785280902{padding-top: 35px !important;}” el_class=”titleHeader”][vc_custom_heading text=”Here are some facts about your fertility journey with us that we’d like to share with you:” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” el_class=”titlesubHeader”][vc_empty_space height=”22px”][TS-VCSC-Icon-List icon=”fa fa-check-circle” color=”#f7be68″ icon_size=”22″ font_color=”#777777″ font_size=”15″]Every evaluation and treatment plan is uniquely tailored to meet your individual needs[/TS-VCSC-Icon-List][TS-VCSC-Icon-List icon=”fa fa-check-circle” color=”#f7be68″ icon_size=”22″ font_color=”#777777″ font_size=”15″]You will have access to leading professionals, with over 35 years combined expertise, providing you with confidence and reassurance in your fertility diagnosis and subsequent treatment[/TS-VCSC-Icon-List][TS-VCSC-Icon-List icon=”fa fa-check-circle” color=”#f7be68″ icon_size=”22″ font_color=”#777777″ font_size=”15″]Our multidisciplinary team includes specialists in fertility, urology, nutrition, counselling, genetics, endocrinology, haematology and weight management to provide a comprehensive range of support as and when you need it[/TS-VCSC-Icon-List][TS-VCSC-Icon-List icon=”fa fa-check-circle” color=”#f7be68″ icon_size=”22″ font_color=”#777777″ font_size=”15″]We will work with you closely to understand your individual circumstances, identify any problems and agree with you, the best course of action to help make your dream a reality[/TS-VCSC-Icon-List][TS-VCSC-Icon-List icon=”fa fa-check-circle” color=”#f7be68″ icon_size=”22″ font_color=”#777777″ font_size=”15″]We will always be honest and open about your chances of success with treatment.[/TS-VCSC-Icon-List][TS-VCSC-Icon-List icon=”fa fa-check-circle” color=”#f7be68″ icon_size=”22″ font_color=”#777777″ font_size=”15″]Your comfort and care is always our top priority[/TS-VCSC-Icon-List][TS-VCSC-Icon-List icon=”fa fa-check-circle” color=”#f7be68″ icon_size=”22″ font_color=”#777777″ font_size=”15″]Our focus remains entirely on you as an individual, your unique needs and your wellbeing[/TS-VCSC-Icon-List][TS-VCSC-Icon-List icon=”fa fa-check-circle” color=”#f7be68″ icon_size=”22″ font_color=”#777777″ font_size=”15″]All investigations and treatments are provided within our new state-of-the-art clinic based in Elstree which offers a spacious environment with comfortable surroundings, to enhance your care and experience.
