Mini IVF Mexico
INNOVATION: Cheaper is not always better. There have been several IVF Mexico Packages modified to fit each individual patient’s needs, this is because we understand the complexity of the diagnosis and know that packages need to be adjusted to fit each individual patient. These adjustments, or modifications, are meant to assist patients with their fertility treatment expenses. One of these packages is a Mini IVF Mexico. A Mini IVF Mexico is performed when the Ovaries are stimulated to get a small number of Eggs to fertilize. deliberately planned, low follicular response, is sought after by a patient, by using substantially less Ovarian Stimulation Medication, there will be a lot less Follicles to be punctured, thus giving you less Eggs, which will give you less Embryos.
Although this does not sound logical, there are reasons for the deliberately low response. Women have opted for a Mini IVF Mexico instead of a Conventional IVF Mexico for several reasons, we will try to explain those reason and see if this is convenient for your procedure or if the Conventional IVF Mexico is the way to go.
Why choose a Mini IVF Mexico over a Conventional IVF Mexico?
If you want us to be honest with you, then you should NOT choose a Mini over a Conventional, however, if you are willing to roll the dice, accept the chances and try anyway, then here is some information that you should know.
Medically and logically speaking, when the task of creating life it at stake, we would like to have the most and highest chances at a positive result, so the more material we have to work with, the better the chances of success. We will always want more Eggs, more Sperm Cells to create more Embryos. By performing a Mini IVF Mexico, you are cutting the number of Eggs down dramatically and this will directly affect the outcome of the treatment. LIV will recommend that you become very well informed on the differences before making this extremely important decision.
Who can be eligible for a Mini IVF Mexico and why?
The circumstances of the infertility will determine the smartest path to follow, please go into this process with an open mind and willing to change the plan if needed. There is a very small percentage of patients who can be candidates for a Mini IVF Mexico. If there are any type of fertility issues such as PCOS, Endometriosis, Low Follicle count, DOR, then the Mini IVF Mexico will be automatically eliminated as an option for the treatment. There must be a logical reason, a high possibility of success, no inner lying infertility issues, a religious desire, or scientifically proven factors that gives you realistic chances of success.
Reason 1: Age and expected response to medication.
- When patients (women) are between the ages of 18 – 27 and are needing an IVF Mexico for unexplained infertility or a cause that is not severe, is when a Mini IVF Mexico can be considered.
- Younger women are expected to respond to the Ovarian Stimulation Medication a lot more than older women, so the theory is that even if we use less medication, the response should still give younger women an acceptable result to have enough Eggs or Embryos for a successful pregnancy.
Reason 2: Religion or spiritual beliefs
- Couples have expressed the desire to have no Embryos cryopreserved or left over from an IVF. Because of personal beliefs or culture norms, having Embryos cryopreserved, is seen as a negative situation and some religions or beliefs do not allow for this to happen.
- A Mini IVF Mexico is intended to stimulate enough follicles to gather only enough eggs to have enough Embryos for only 1 Embryos transfer. Cryopreserving Embryos is not part of the package nor plan.
- Any more than 2 Embryos will be discarded if they are not cryopreserved. This will be a previously consented to decision by both patients and the proper consent forms will be filled out.
- Science is not accepted in some cultures and religions, so these beliefs will directly affect the choices and recommendations on fertility treatments.
Reason 3: Economy and cost of treatments
- Unfortunately for some couples, the cost of fertility treatments is extremely expensive and out of their reach. A Mini IVF Mexico is intended to lower the amount of money invested in having a baby, however, cheaper is not always better when it comes to infertility.
- You will spend less money on the Stimulation Medication, yes, but you will also get a result that is risky since you will only have 1 shot at a pregnancy with the Embryos that are created. So, this can turn out to be more expensive in the long run, if the first Embryo Transfer is not successful.
- If there are enough Embryos to cryopreserve the remaining: then there will be a cost for a 2nd The Mini IVF Mexico does not include the 2nd FET attempt if the first is negative.
You will be given recommendations and advice when selecting the best fertility treatment for your individual circumstances. Please take these recommendations seriously and trust in LIV Medical Team, they are here to make sure that you have the highest chance at having a baby.
Contra-Indications for a Mini IVF Mexico
When evaluating the specific reason for the Mini IVF Mexico, our Journey Coordinator will ask several questions to identify the logic behind the desire. LIV is open to discussion on all treatments, however, as soon as an issue is identified that will eliminate the possibility of success, then the decision becomes the responsibility of LIV Medical Team to approve or disapprove of the process. There must be an understandable justification for wanting the Mini IVF Mexico instead of the Conventional IVF Mexico. Your Coordinator and LIV Medical Team will review the information available and determine if the Mini IVF Mexico is the safest and smartest option for your journey. Please keep an open mind and evaluate the explanations given by your Coordinator.
- Make sure to review the IVF Mexico packages and options before making any final decisions.
Procedure Cost and overview:
A benefit of performing a Conventional IVF Mexico is the availability of a 2nd Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET)if the first transfer is negative and if you still have Embryos cryopreserved from the IVF Mexico. A Mini IVF Mexico does not include this 2nd FET if the first is negative, mainly because there should not be any left-over Embryos to cryopreserve since all the Embryos would have been transferred on the initial Embryo Transfer.
In case you are lucky enough to have multiple Embryos with a Mini IVF Mexico, they there will be 1 or 2 transferred, and the rest will be cryopreserved. The additional cost that can be associated with this better than expected result is the following:
- Cryopreservation of remaining Embryos: Additional cost
- The thawing of the remaining Embryos when ready to transfer: Additional cost
- The 2nd Frozen Embryos Transfer: Additional cost
- The Endometrial Preparation Protocol: Additional cost
- Medication for Endometrial preparation: Additional cost
- Travel expenses for 8-10 days: Additional cost
