Mini IVF in Mexico

At IMI – Mexican Institute of Infertility, we understand that not every fertility journey needs high-dose medication or intense cycles. For many patients, a more natural, controlled, and cost-effective option known as Mini IVF (or “minimal-stimulation IVF”) provides the perfect balance between comfort and success.

Mini IVF in Mexico has become an appealing choice for women who prefer a gentler experience—those with low ovarian reserve, prior sensitivity to stimulation drugs, or simply a desire for a more natural cycle aligned with their body. At IMI, we combine advanced laboratory technology with warm, personalized care to help you conceive safely and confidently.

A Gentler Path to Parenthood for Women Who Value Balance

What Is Mini IVF?

Mini IVF is an assisted-reproduction technique that uses lower doses of fertility medications to stimulate the ovaries to produce a few high-quality eggs rather than many. This reduces the risk of ovarian hyperstimulation and can be more comfortable physically and financially.

In a traditional IVF cycle, the goal is to collect as many eggs as possible. In Mini IVF, the focus is quality over quantity — retrieving 3 to 8 mature eggs that are more likely to produce healthy embryos.

Is Mini IVF Right for Me?

Mini IVF is often recommended for women over 35, those with PCOS, low AMH, or previous IVF failures. It’s also popular among patients seeking a more natural approach to conception without aggressive drug protocols.

To determine if it’s right for you, schedule an initial consultation with IMI’s fertility team. We’ll analyze your cycle history, lab results, and medical background to craft a personalized plan.

Pre-Cycle Assessment

Before beginning, our fertility team evaluates your hormone levels (FSH, AMH, E2) and performs an antral follicle count to customize your protocol.

Egg Retrieval & Fertilization

Eggs are gently retrieved and fertilized using standard IVF or ICSI techniques. Our embryologists focus on culturing each embryo in a controlled, time-lapse environment to maximize potential.

Low-Dose Stimulation

You’ll receive lower doses of gonadotropins or oral stimulation agents such as clomiphene citrate or letrozole to encourage natural egg development.

Embryo Transfer or Freezing

After 3–5 days, a healthy embryo is transferred to the uterus. Any remaining embryos may be cryopreserved using vitrification for future use.

Precise Monitoring

Our team tracks follicle growth through ultrasound and hormone testing to determine the optimal retrieval time.

Follow-up Care

Two weeks after transfer, a blood test confirms pregnancy. IMI remains by your side for continued monitoring and emotional support.
