One of the
common questions patients ask us is – What treatment protocol are you going to
use for our IVF cycle ?
There are lots
of super ovulation protocols available , and many clinics are very rigid and
will use only one protocol for all their patients. They follow a mindless regime,
because most of the treatment is done by assistants, who don’t have the
experience or the expertise to be able to tailor it for the needs of the individual
patient.
Thus, some will
routinely use a long downregulation protocol , which uses about 8 days of
injections before the period starts, for down regulation before beginning the
IVF cycle. Other use a short protocol, which starts from Day 1 of the cycle;
while other use a some will use a GnRH antagonist protocol.
We take
pride in the fact that we will tailor the protocol according to what the
patient's requirements are. We are not rigid, because the treatment is crafted
personally us, and not by assistants -
we don’t have any assistants ! This is why it’s not a mindless checklist
protocol , where one size is forced to fit all patients, and everyone is
treated the same, no matter what their ovarian reserve is.
We customize
the protocol depending on the patient's history. The key variables we use are
her ovarian reserve ( as judged by her AMH level ( https://www.drmalpani.com/knowledge-center/articles/treating-women-with-a-low-amh-level) and antral follicle count ( https://www.drmalpani.com/knowledge-center/articles/afc) ; and her
ovarian response to earlier IVF cycles. We can tweak our protocol to improve
their egg quality, and this is why our success rates are so high.
