The most trusted Mini IVF treatment center in Delhi-NCR
What is Mini IVF?
Minimal stimulation IVF (Mini IVF) is a type of in-vitro fertilisation that relies on low medication doses and controlled ovarian stimulation. Instead of going for a high number of eggs, the treatment focuses on retrieving fewer but higher-quality eggs. It is typically advised to select patients where gentler stimulation is appropriate or safer.
| Featuree | Conventional IVF | Mini IVF |
|---|---|---|
| Medication dose | High-dose injections | Low-dose or oral medication |
| Egg numbers | Multiple eggs retrieved | Fewer quality eggs |
| Clinic visits | Frequent | Lesser visits |
| Side effects | High hormone effects | Mild effects |
| OHSS risks | Substantially high | Much lesser |
| Cost | Higher | Lower |
Who is Mini IVF suitable for?
Mini IVF treatment is advised for people for whom conventional IVF stimulation is not necessary or medically suitable. Dr. Mona Dahiya recommends minimal stimulation IVF to patients after reviewing their ovarian reserve, prior IVF response, age & overall fertility conditions to select a more appropriate fertility treatment plan.
Low ovarian reserve & AMH
when the number of eggs is limited & gentle stimulation may improve response
Previous IVF failure
earlier cycles produced fewer eggs despite high medication doses
Age above 35 years
treatment has to prioritise egg quality instead of high egg quantity
PCOS with OHSS risks
safer option for patients who are prone to ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome
Patients looking to avoid heavy dosage
treatment runs on fewer stimulation injections compared with conventional IVF
Medical conditions restricting stimulation
events where high hormone exposure is not advised on medical grounds
Mini IVF treatment process & medications
| Phase | Approximate days | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| Baseline assessment | Day 2 to 3 | Pre-stimulation ultrasound & initial evaluation starts |
| Mild stimulation | Day 3 to 8 | Clomiphene/letrozole & low-dose injections stimulate follicle development |
| Monitoring | Day 8 to 12 | Ultrasound monitors follicles, usually targeting 1 to 5 mature eggs |
| Trigger | Day 11 to 13 | hCG trigger is given to time ovulation |
| Egg retrieval | Day 12 to 14 | Eggs are collected through a minor transvaginal process |
| Fertilsation & culture | Day 14 to 18 | IVF/ICSI fertilisation & embryo development happen in the lab |
| Embryo transfer & support | Day 17 to 20 | Embryo transfer is followed by progesterone luteal phase’s support |
Why do patients choose Mini IVF treatment?
Patients go for Mini IVF treatment when a gentler fertility approach is suggested as medically appropriate for their specific infertility condition. By using minimal stimulation IVF protocols, Dr. Mona Dahiya maintains a controlled ovarian response & low medication exposure. The approach improves treatment comfort while preserving effective fertility treatment outcomes for carefully selected patients.
Low medication exposure
Mini IVF uses oral medicines & low-dose stimulation, reducing hormone load & injection requirement.
Reduced OHSS risk
Controlled stimulation significantly drops the chances of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome in high-risk patients.
More affordable IVF option
Lowered drug use & monitoring visits decrease the overall Mini IVF treatment cost when compared to conventional IVF.
Better treatment tolerance
Mild hormonal effect translates into lesser bloating, discomfort & treatment fatigue during the IVF cycles.
Useful in low AMH cases
For patients with low ovarian reserve, the treatment focuses on egg quality instead of egg quantity to give more practical treatment outcomes.
How does Dr. Mona manage Mini IVF limitations?
Fewer eggs retrieved
Dr. Mona Dahiya plans for embryo utilisation & freeing strategies to maximise the available embryos.
Multiple cycles
Cycle planning is staged in a way that cumulative pregnancy chances get improved over time.
Age-related fertility issues
Dr. Mona’s ovarian reserve testing & counselling help decide when Mini IVF is appropriate or when conventional IVF would be better.
Different ovarian responses
Protocols are adjusted using monitoring & medication changes on the basis of follicle development.

When should you choose IUI for your fertility treatment?
IUI aligns sperm insemination with women’s 6 most fertile days, depending on the cycle length of 24/28/32 Days.
The “Wash” process of IUI increases the sperm motility by 5x by bypassing cervical mucus – the top-most issue faced by endometriosis patients.
In women facing cervical factor infertility, IUI increased the chance of conception by taking 100% of the processed sperm directly to the target area.
For cases where the results appear normal, but pregnancy is not happening, IUI can present a focused & supportive idea about the next steps.
IUI is considered the best treatment for women who are looking for a less invasive option when using a donor sperm.
When it is difficult for you to maintain the consistency & timing of sexual interaction, IUI can ensure fertilisation gets the medical support it needs.
What does Dr. Mona evaluates during follicular monitoring?
- Minimally invasive process
- Cost-effective
- Natural fertilisation friendly
- Efficient sperm optimisation
- Bypasses cervical barriers
- Enhances fertilisation timing
What symptoms may indicate male infertility?
Oligospermia
If the sperm count comes out to be less than 15 million/ml, it can significantly lower your chances of natural conception.
Low motility
This happens when the sperm is not able to swim effectively enough to penetrate & fertilise the egg.
Erectile dysfunction
It tends to block intercourse during the fertile window, which ultimately affects the chances of pregnancy.
Testicular swelling or infection
Any untreated past infections or varicocele can lower the sperm production & quality.
Sperm movement issue
This usually happens because of blockage, retrograde ejaculation, or a nerve-related reproductive pathway issue.
Lifestyle factors
Habits & issues like excessive smoking, alcohol, or obesity can also decrease the sperm count & overall fertility.
What are the most common male fertility evaluation tests?
Semen analysis
The test performed after 2-5 days of abstinence measures the sperm volume, count, motility & morphology. In case the sperm concentration is found to be less than 15 million/ml or there is low progressive motility, it can be a sign of reduced fertility.
Hormone tests
These blood tests are done to assess hormonal regulation in sperm production. For example, FSH can evaluate testicular function, LH shows testosterone production, and testosterone determines your sperm formation & sexual function.
Scrotal ultrasound
Ultrasound imaging is done to measure the testicles' size, varicocele, or if there is any blockages in the sperm pathways. It also detects dilated veins, swelling & structural abnormalities that could affect sperm production.
Genetic testing
It is usually recommended for men with severe low sperm count and azoospermia. Chromosomal testing is also conducted to identify the conditions that may affect sperm development & guide treatment options like IVF-ICSI.
Testicular biopsy
This test is suggested when sperm are not present in the semen. Here, a small tissue sample is taken to check for sperm production & retrieve sperm directly for assisted reproduction procedures.
Follicular Ultrasound Monitoring Schedule & Timeline
| Follicular study phase | Cycle day | Activity |
|---|---|---|
| Baseline | Day 2-3 | Scan checks if the ovaries are resting, counts small follicles & measures uterine lining. |
| Early growth | Day 8-9 | Monitors follicle development & body’s response to ovulation induction medicine. |
| Dominant follicle | Day 10-12 | Measures endometrial thickness & follicle size. The dominant follicle should grow to 14-18 mm. |
| Pre-ovulation | Day 12-14 | Checks if the follicle has reached 18-22 mm size – a sign of egg maturity. Ovulation trigger medicine may be advised at this stage. |
| Ovulation confirmation | 24-48 hours later | Confirms follicle rupture & ovulation. At this stage, Dr. Mona advises timed intercourse or IUI. |
What does Dr. Mona evaluates during follicular monitoring?
Follicle growth rate
The dominant follicle is measured in every visit. Usually, the egg should grow by about 1.5 to 2 mm every day - timeline that helps estimate when the egg will mature.
Ovulation timing
The moment a follicle reaches 18-22 mm in size, ovulation can be expected to happen within 24-36 hours. Knowing this helps plan timed intercourse & IUI treatment.
Endometrial thickness
Along with the follicle, Dr. Mona’s team also checks the uterine lining. Clinically, a thickness of 7-10 mm is considered ideal for implantation.
Medication response
In conditions where ovulation induction medicine is used, the response is assessed to adjust the dose & avoid overstimulation.
Cycle planning
Based on the findings, Dr. Mona decides whether to continue natural attempts, try IUI, or modify the treatment in the same cycle.
The cost of Follicular ultrasound monitoring
| IVF Phase | Days | Activities |
|---|---|---|
| Baseline | Day 2 or 3 | Blood test & ultrasound to assess ovarian reserve and readiness. |
| Stimulation | Day 2 – 10 | Hormonal injections to stimulate multiple follicles. |
| Monitoring | Day 6 – 10 | Regular ultrasounds & blood tests to track growth and hormones. |
| Trigger | Day 10 or 11 | hCG/GnRH injection to mature eggs. |
| Egg Retrieval | Day 12 – 13 | Eggs collected under anesthesia. |
| Fertilisation | Day 12 – 15 | Eggs fertilised in lab & embryos monitored. |
| Embryo Transfer | Day 15 or 17 | Embryo (Day 3 or 5) placed into uterus. |
| Luteal Phase | Day 16 – 28 | Progesterone support for implantation. |
| Testing | Day 28 or 29 | Pregnancy test after 12–14 days. |

Mini IVF Success Rates:
“Mini” might make you think that the success rates are “Mini,” as well. But the truth is that it’s quite the opposite. In Mini IVF, it’s all about quality.
- High-Quality Results: Standard IVF seeks to stimulate a large number of eggs, while Mini IVF seeks to retrieve 3-5 high-quality eggs. Sometimes, it's not about the quantity of eggs, but the quality of one or two eggs that matters most for a successful pregnancy.
- Similarly Effective: For many women, particularly those with a low ovarian reserve or who are "drug sensitive", the pregnancy success rates of Mini IVF are comparable to traditional IVF and can range from 35% to 45% per cycle, depending on age and other health factors.
- Better for the Body: Without high levels of hormones stressing the body, the uterine lining is often more "natural" and receptive, which may increase the chances of implantation.
- The Power of Persistence: Mini IVF is more cost-effective and gentler on the body than conventional IVF, so it allows for more attempts if necessary, which may lead to higher overall success rates.
