Comparing Traditional IVF to Effortless IVF

In vitro fertilization (IVF) is one of the most popular forms of assisted reproductive technology, and our office focuses exclusively on one type of IVF treatment that uses a medical device called INVOcell™. When comparing traditional IVF vs. INVO™ treatments using INVOcell™, we have found that INVO™ offers patients the same high success rates. at a fraction of the cost, with fewer doctor visits.

The Traditional IVF Procedure

When it is time to trigger ovulation, the female patient will be given medication designed to stimulate final maturation and release of the eggs. Timing is critical because the eggs must be retrieved just prior to ovulation. Approximately 36 hours after the trigger medication has been administered, the eggs will be retrieved and prepared for the fertilization process.

The fertilization process occurs in the laboratory where an embryologist mixes healthy sperm and eggs and places them in an incubator. Over the next five days, the incubators and developing embryos are monitored. When the embryos are ready, the transfer procedure is performed to place the embryos in the uterus.

The Effortless IVF Advantage

The patient's health, age, and weight determines her dosage of medication, and no adjustments are made during treatment. This reduces the amount of medications needed, as well as the costs associated with them.

Unlike traditional IVF, which requires several sonograms and monitoring appointments, the simplified system we use relies on no blood work and a single sonogram taken on the 10th day of the cycle. This sonogram will determine the patient's trigger day and when the retrieval will take place.

Once the eggs are harvested, we are able to bypasses the need for expensive lab work with a new device called an INVOcell™. The healthy sperm and eggs are put inside the INVOcell™, and the cylinder is placed inside the patient's vagina. This "natural incubator" provides the appropriate conditions for the developing embryo over the next five days. When the embryos have reached the proper stage, they will be transferred from the INVOcell™ device to the uterus.

By eliminating the need for expensive lab work, incubators, monitoring personnel, doctor's appointments, diagnostic imaging, and medications, we are able to offer IVF treatments to our patients at a significantly reduced cost in terms of time and money, while still maintaining the excellent success rates associated with traditional IVF.
