Less Is More: The Mini-IVF

A new and improved option seems to have appeared in the world of reproductive technology... introducing the Mini IVF procedure. It's also known as minimal stimulation IVF.

From what we've gathered, "minimal stimulation IVF science merged with the latest IVF technology, which achieves similar pregnancy results with fewer drugs & injections, less stress, and reduced side effects." Several clinics are offering this new type of in-vitro fertilitzation, one of which is located on Park Ave in NYC.

According to the website of the New Hope Fertility Center, similar pregnancy success rates (compared with conventional IVF) are achieved as they recruit only the highest quality of eggs, instead of the usual plethora, which is excessive and often mostly poor quality.

Aside from a less invasive and less medicated experience, additional benefits include lower risk of multiples and a lower price tag. It seems all these "lesses" truly do add up to more!
