What is a micro IVF?

Minimal stimulation IVF (also known as Mini IVF or Micro IVF) offers infertile couples an alternative to traditional IVF. Micro IVF differs from standard IVF by:

What is the day you see how many eggs are fertilized?

The information below will outline what we expect to see each day with your embryos. Day 0: Egg retrieval day. You will learn how many eggs are retrieved, then later in the day sperm will be added to them. Day 1: This is the day we see how many eggs are fertilized, they are called embryos now.

How long do you have to wait to test an embryo?

Now we recommend testing embryos when they have been growing in the petri dish for five or six days. The results are much more accurate!

How does a PGt-A test work?

PGt-A can determine if there are a normal number of chromosomes; no extras but not too few. When an embryo has more, or fewer numbers of the standard 46 chromosomes, then they are more likely to result in a negative pregnancy test or a miscarriage. This is called aneuploidy. The most common example of this is the test for Down’s Syndrome, in which the baby carries an extra chromosome 21. PGt-A can also tell you gender of the embryo. This can be helpful if there is a genetic disease that is passed down only to the male or the female embryo. An example of this is Hemophilia A, in which the male child is at risk for having the disorder, not the female.

When do you get a call from the Embryo Day of Life?

You will receive a call on embryo day of life 1, 3, 5 and 6; usually between 1:00 pm and 3:30 pm, with updates. We will not call you on days 2 or 4 as we let the embryos rest that day.

Is micro IVF better for pregnancy?

Pregnancy rates may be lower with Micro IVF, but some couples still choose this method due to its other benefits.

Can you get results from Wisconsin fertility testing?

If your testing was completed at the Wisconsin Fertility Institute, we will contact you when the results are in and have you set up an appointment with one of the providers to discuss your specific treatment plan. If your testing was done through your own health care provider, call us if you need our help getting the results sent or faxed to our office. Once we have received all of the records, we will contact you to set up your treatment plan visit.
