We learned about mini IVF recently and it is a new procedure similar to the traditional IVF. Fewer eggs and drugs are used every cycle, hence it is easier on the wallet.

this is usually recommended for older women looking to start or add to their families. The procedure was developed to make the most of the fewest number of available healthy eggs, with a minimal amount of hormonal impact on the woman’s body.

This sounds interesting mainly because it is cheaper compared to IVF. I am going to read up on this so thanks for the heads up!

It will make it easier for the body certainly. Being on IVF treatment feels like you are already going through the pregnancy itself and it can be stressful with the side effects and everything. With the lower dose, the side effects should be minimal.

"Mini-IVF is designed to recruit only a few (but high quality) eggs, thus avoiding the risks of hyperstimulation, reducing the number of injections and dramatically reducing the cost of medications. This approach is not just a simple-minded reduction in hormonal stimulation. It is an ingeniously conceived and completely different approach to IVF, developed by the Japanese, that saves the patient much of the complexity and cost associated with more conventional IVF protocols."

mini ivf and natural ivf sounds OK compared to the normal ivf.

Yeah! I think I like it too since it's cheaper than normal IVF. But it's mini right? Hope it will not give little success in treatment also.

This is a good alternative to the normal IVF. I have had mood swings, feeling depressed, vomited and felt dizzy. I also experienced bloating. All of these are minimal when I go on natural cycle IVF which is IVF without the drugs.

So having mini IVF sounds good too.

What's the difference with this to traditional IVF is how much medication was used to stimulate the ovaries to produce eggs.
