The Science Behind TERM-IVF

TERM-IVF was developed by Dr. Michael Allon at AFCT based on the principle that egg quality matters more than quantity. By using targeted, lower doses of stimulation medications, we aim to recruit a moderate cohort of follicles while maintaining optimal egg quality.

The TERM-IVF Protocol

• Initial Assessment: Comprehensive evaluation of ovarian reserve, hormone levels, and previous treatment history
• Customized Stimulation: Lower-dose gonadotropin protocols tailored to your individual response
• Monitoring: Regular ultrasound and blood work to track follicle development
• Egg Retrieval: Standard ultrasound-guided egg retrieval procedure
• Fertilization & Culture: State-of-the-art IVF laboratory for embryo development
• Embryo Transfer: Single or selected embryo transfer for optimal outcomes

TERM-IVF vs. Conventional IVF

While conventional IVF aims to retrieve the maximum number of eggs possible, TERM-IVF focuses on a targeted approach. Studies have shown that beyond a certain number of eggs, additional eggs do not significantly improve outcomes and may increase risks.

Cost Comparison

TERM-IVF typically costs less than conventional IVF due to reduced medication requirements. This makes fertility treatment more accessible without compromising results for appropriate candidates.
