At Conceive Fertility Center in Dallas–Fort Worth, TX, we offer Mini IVF—a gentler, more affordable alternative to conventional IVF. Using lower doses of medication and fewer injections, Mini IVF may be an excellent option for patients who want effective fertility treatment with less cost and stress.
What Is Mini IVF?
Mini IVF (also called minimal-stimulation IVF) uses a lower dose of fertility medications to produce fewer eggs—typically 2-6—rather than the 10+ eggs seen in conventional IVF. Conceive Fertility
This approach requires less medication, fewer monitoring visits, and lower hormone exposure—while still allowing for egg retrieval, fertilization, and embryo transfer.
Who Should Consider Mini IVF?
Mini IVF may be appropriate if you:
- Have a low ovarian reserve (few follicles or low AMH)
- Are at risk for ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS)
- Prefer fewer injections and less intensive monitoring
- Want to reduce treatment cost while still pursuing IVF
- Have ethical or personal preferences to create fewer embryos
How Does the Mini IVF Process Work?
- Consultation & Baseline Testing – Assessment of hormones, ovarian reserve, and health status.
- Gentle Stimulation – Oral medications (e.g., Clomid) plus low-dose injectable gonadotropins. Conceive Fertility
- Monitoring – Ultrasound and bloodwork track 2–6 egg follicles instead of many more.
- Trigger Shot & Egg Retrieval – At maturity, final medication triggers ovulation, then eggs are retrieved.
- Fertilization & Embryo Development – Eggs are fertilized and embryos created; often embryos are frozen.
- Embryo Transfer (FET) – A frozen embryo is transferred later when conditions are optimal.
- Follow-Up & Pregnancy Testing – Monitor outcomes and plan next steps.
