Effortless IVF: How It Works and Why It Is Different

Are you struggling with infertility? Are you seeking a less time-consuming, low cost and efficient infertility treatment? Your reproductive endocrinology Bedford specialists, Drs. Kevin and Kathy offer effortless IVF, a different treatment from traditional IVF. You will be a good candidate for this treatment if you are already eligible for traditional IVF. After harvesting your eggs, your doctor will put them into a device and then transfer them to your uterus once ready. There are several benefits to seeking effortless IVF. Read the following discussion to find out more about Effortless IVF.

What Makes You A Good Candidate For Effortless IVF?

Typically, you make a good candidate for this treatment if you are already a candidate for traditional IVF. Firstly, your doctor may recommend IVF treatment if you have limited access to IVF because you are busy at work and have financial and geographical reasons. Secondly, effortless IVF can benefit you if you have male sperm challenges, including low sperm count and abnormally shaped sperm. You can also benefit if you are experiencing damaged fallopian tubes that prevent the passage of eggs to the uterus.

Who May Not Be Eligible For Effortless IVF?

While effortless IVF is a good treatment, it may not benefit everyone. First, you may not receive this treatment if you suffer from severe male factor infertility. Secondly, as a woman, you may not benefit if you have very low levels of AMH, which may require high gonadotropins amounts. Since effortless IVF aims to be affordable and less time-consuming, you may require another form of treatment. Additionally, you may not benefit from this treatment if you are a woman over 45 years, weigh more than 190 pounds, and have a BMI higher than 35.

How Is Effortless IVF Different From Traditional IVF?

During treatment with effortless IVF, your doctor will evaluate your weight, age, and health and use the information to determine your dosage. Therefore, you will not require any adjustments during your IVF treatment, reducing the number of medications you will need. Secondly, effortless IVF requires only a single sonogram appointment which your doctor performs on the tenth day of your treatment cycle. After harvesting your eggs, your doctor will put them inside a device called INVOcell which your doctor then places inside your vagina. The device will provide appropriate conditions for developing your embryo until they reach its proper stage. Your doctor will then transfer the embryos from the INVOcell into your uterus.

How Long Is One Cycle of Effortless IVF?

One complete cycle of effortless IVF can take about three weeks, covering your initial consultation to transfer embryos to your uterus. However, you may require more than one cycle to achieve a successful pregnancy.

Treatment with IVF continues to benefit many couples struggling with infertility because of sperm production factors and abnormalities in the female tubes. Before effortless IVF, the treatment most sought was traditional IVF. However, because of its expensive and complicated nature, there is a new revolution known as effortless IVF. Your doctor may recommend effortless IVF if you have time constraints because of tight work schedules and geographical and financial hindrances. Your doctor will collect sperm and embryo and place them in the INVOcell, which provides optimal fertilization conditions. You have an increased success rate of fertilization with effortless IVF.
