Understand your treatment options
IVF is not one single protocol. Understand the different approaches, how they fit together, and the questions to ask as you build your treatment plan with Morgan Fertility.
Different approaches, individual decisions
All IVF involves fertilization outside the body. What changes is how eggs are obtained, whose eggs and sperm are used, and when an embryo is transferred. These choices can be combined in one treatment plan.
Fertility medications encourage several eggs to mature. Eggs are retrieved and fertilized in the laboratory, and an embryo may be transferred in the same cycle or frozen for a later transfer.
Mini-IVF uses a lower-dose stimulation protocol, sometimes combining oral and injectable medications. It generally aims to retrieve fewer eggs than a conventional stimulation cycle.
Donor eggs, donor sperm, or donated embryos can be part of a family-building plan. The appropriate pathway depends on your medical history, available reproductive cells, and personal goals.
In reciprocal IVF, eggs from one partner are fertilized with donor sperm. An embryo is then transferred to the other partner, allowing both partners to take part in the pregnancy journey.
The details of your plan
With conventional fertilization, eggs and sperm are placed together. With ICSI, an embryologist injects a single sperm into an egg. ICSI is a fertilization method within IVF, not a separate stimulation protocol, and is not needed in every case.
Understand the IVF processA fresh transfer takes place in the retrieval cycle. A frozen embryo transfer (FET) uses an embryo preserved for a later cycle. Your hormone levels, uterine lining, testing plans, and other health considerations help guide the timing.
Learn about embryo freezingPreimplantation genetic testing (PGT) can provide information about certain chromosome or inherited genetic conditions before transfer. Testing is optional, has limitations, and is not appropriate or beneficial for every patient.

Compare the scope of a package, not just the number. Our published pricing is a starting point for a personalized discussion.
| Treatment | Published price | Scope |
|---|---|---|
| Fresh IVF Cycle | $11,300 | Cycle only + monitoring + fresh embryo transfer |
| Mini-IVF | $12,300 | Low-dose hormone stimulation, gentler protocol |
| Complete IVF Package | $18,300 | IVF + frozen embryo transfer (FET) + PGT genetic testing |
Inclusions vary by package. Ask for an itemized estimate covering medications, monitoring, pre-treatment testing, laboratory services, embryo transfer, and storage. Treatment suitability and outcomes vary by patient.
View pricing & financial optionsA little more clarity
Your doctor considers your age, ovarian reserve, medical and pregnancy history, sperm testing, previous treatment response, and family-building goals. A consultation is an opportunity to compare the potential benefits, risks, costs, and alternatives before choosing a plan.
No. Mini-IVF uses a lower-stimulation medication protocol. Natural-cycle IVF generally aims to retrieve the egg that develops in a natural menstrual cycle, with little or no ovarian stimulation. Ask your doctor whether either approach is clinically suitable and available for your situation.
No. ICSI can help address certain fertilization problems, including some forms of male-factor infertility, but it does not guarantee fertilization, embryo development, implantation, or a live birth. Your care team can explain why it may or may not be recommended.
Not everyone needs IVF. Depending on your diagnosis, ovulation induction or intrauterine insemination (IUI) may be reasonable alternatives. Other situations, such as some tubal conditions or significant sperm factors, may make IVF more appropriate. Your evaluation helps clarify these options.
