Eco-IVF offers everyone one of the most affordable IVF Programs at an IVF cycle cost of $4,950.

IVF Protocol Overview
Eco-IVF’s ability to offer a low cost IVF program is based on the recognition that younger women,
with normal ovarian function, can still experience excellent IVF pregnancy rates, even if their ovarian
stimulation is milder than traditional, and involves different, and smaller amounts of, medications. This
observation, however, does not mean that, with traditional treatments, the IVF pregnancy chance may
not be higher. Moreover, with traditional treatment, larger egg/embryo numbers may be obtained,
resulting in a greater number of cryopreserved embryos and, therefore, potentially, in a higher
cumulative pregnancy chance.

In the low cost IVF program, utilized by Eco-IVF, standard ovarian stimulation with high dose
injectable gonadotropins is replaced by initial stimulation of the ovaries with an oral medication, called
clomiphene citrate (Clomid), which later in the cycle is augmented, every other day, with very low
dosages of gonadotropins.

Lower medication dosages greatly reduce the risk of ovarian hyperstimulation. Therefore, they permit
for less monitoring of follicular development. Consequently, you will have fewer monitoring visits,
involving vaginal ultrasound examinations and blood tests, than women in routine IVF programs.

Women in routine IVF cycles undergo egg retrieval under intravenous sedation, given by an
anesthesiologist. Since you are expected to have a smaller egg number, intravenous sedation may not
be required and is, therefore, not routinely offered. Should you wish to receive such sedation,
anyhow, then our anesthesiologists, have agreed to a fee of $500.00. Since these anesthesiologists are
not part of this medical corporation, and have no financial relationship with this corporation, you will
be asked to bring a check, representing this payment, to your egg retrieval and make it out to the
anesthesiologist at that time.

Medical consultations and cycle monitoring visits will, in principle, take place at the ECO-IVF
facility. Egg retrievals, embryo transfers and rare weekend monitoring visits will, however, be
scheduled at CHR’s main facility at 21 East 69th Street in Manhattan.
