IVF TREATMENTS
TERM-IVF
TERM-IVF is an innovative approach developed at AFCT that combines the benefits of minimal stimulation with the effectiveness of conventional IVF.
What Is TERM-IVF?
TERM-IVF (Targeted Egg Retrieval Minimal-IVF) is an approach pioneered at the Advanced Fertility Center of Texas that uses lower doses of fertility medications to produce a moderate number of high-quality eggs. This approach balances effectiveness with patient comfort and safety.
How TERM-IVF Differs
- Lower Medication Doses: Uses less gonadotropins than conventional IVF, reducing side effects and cost
- Targeted Approach: Focuses on producing 5-10 high-quality eggs rather than maximum quantity
- Reduced OHSS Risk: Lower stimulation significantly reduces the risk of Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome
- Cost-Effective: Lower medication costs make treatment more affordable
- Patient-Friendly: Fewer injections and potentially fewer monitoring visits
Who Is a Good Candidate?
- Women with normal to good ovarian reserve
- Patients concerned about medication side effects
- Those seeking a more affordable IVF option
- Women who have had OHSS in previous cycles
- Patients who prefer a less aggressive approach
Success Rates
TERM-IVF achieves comparable pregnancy rates to conventional IVF for appropriate candidates. The key is proper patient selection and expert embryology laboratory support, both of which are strengths at AFCT.
