Is Mild IVF effective?

Nowadays patients not only are concerned about costs of treatment but also about the effect of drugs used during the stimulation process. Studies confirmed that higher dosage is not necessarily as effective in case of patients with low or diminished ovarian. Similar case is with PCO patients. What and who can benefit from Mini IVF or Natural Cycle IVF?

I guess, nowadays, we have more than enough information to say that mini IVF it’s not actually better than IVF, it’s just a different approach because basically we depend on the quality of the oocytes. If we get one egg or we get five, the thing is that they have to be good enough to produce a healthy embryo. So, I guess, it’s just a different approach for different kinds of patients but it’s not like one is better than the other one.

Yes it is dependent on the patient, as I was explaining earlier, this is based on your age, your ovarian reserve, what we are expecting when we stimulate you, are we expecting to get more than one egg, are we hoping to get 3 or 4 eggs, is there potential there. If there is then I would say we should try to do that, we should try to do mild stimulation, at some time you will benefit from doing a full proper stimulation, natural stimulation. But if it looks like it will be solo and we are expecting only one, then natural stimulation is the best option.
