In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a fertility treatment that helps create embryos in the lab by combining eggs and sperm—then transferring an embryo to the uterus (or freezing embryos for a future transfer). At Hanabusa IVF, conventional IVF is never “one-size-fits-all.” We focus on careful stimulation dosing, close monitoring, and precise timing—because protecting egg quality and avoiding preventable setbacks matters more than chasing the biggest egg number.

IVF outcomes are shaped by dosing, timing, and lab strategy. We tailor each IVF cycle to your biology—so you can avoid unnecessary medication, reduce guesswork, and move forward with clarity.
We avoid “max dose by default” and adjust based on how you respond.
We aim to support healthy egg development—not simply a higher egg count.
We plan carefully to help prevent overstimulation and overmaturation (two common reasons cycles underperform)
Fertilization approach (IVF vs. ICSI), culture strategy, and freeze/transfer timing are chosen thoughtfully—not automatically.
Our expertise with low reserve and difficult histories improves the precision we bring to all IVF patients.

Review your goals, timeline, and diagnosis
Choose the best IVF approach for your body (traditional, lower-med, mini, or another customized plan)
Confirm whether PGT or embryo banking is part of your strategy
Baseline ultrasound (AFC, cyst check, uterine lining/structure review)
Baseline labs to confirm readiness and guide safe dosing/timing
Any required safety screening based on your plan
Start a personalized stimulation protocol (medications matched to your biology—not one-size-fits-all)
Set monitoring schedule and decision points
Define trigger strategy focused on egg maturity and timing
Ultrasounds (and labs as needed) to track follicle growth and hormone patterns
Adjust medication dosing and timing based on your response
Confirm the ideal trigger timing to avoid under-mature or over-mature eggs
Trigger given when follicles reach the right maturity range
Outpatient egg retrieval performed on schedule
Fertilization via IVF or ICSI as indicated
Embryo development is monitored in the lab
Culture to blastocyst when appropriate, based on your embryo plan
Decide fresh transfer vs freeze based on uterine readiness and hormone environment
Often freeze embryos and plan FET for the best timing and implantation environment
Create a clear next-step roadmap (transfer plan, additional cycle, or embryo banking if needed)

You want a higher-effectiveness treatment based on your evaluation
You have tubal factor, endometriosis, male factor, or unexplained infertility (case dependent)
You’ve tried IUI or other treatments without success
You want embryo freezing for future family building
You’re considering genetic testing (PGT) based on your situation
You’re early in your journey and a lower-intervention approach is appropriate
Your evaluation supports starting with ovulation induction and/or IUI
Your history suggests you should be routed into Complex Care strategy from day one (we’ll guide you)

Medication needs and protocol type
Monitoring (ultrasounds + labs)
Retrieval/anesthesia fees
Fertilization method (IVF vs. ICSI)
Embryo culture, freezing (vitrification), and storage
PGT testing (if elected)
Whether you proceed with FET
Often included: retrieval procedure + basic embryology services and embryo culture
Often separate: medications, some labs/ultrasounds, anesthesia, PGT, storage fees, FET cycle costs

IVF success rates vary widely. The most important driver is matching the right treatment strategy to the right patient—then adjusting based on response and embryo development.
Age and ovarian reserve markers
Egg and embryo quality
Sperm parameters and fertilization method
Uterine/lining factors
Diagnosis (endometriosis, tubal factor, male factor, etc.)
Transfer approach (fresh vs. frozen) and embryo stage

Stimulation typically lasts ~8–12 days, with monitoring visits during that window
Ultrasound/lab monitoring (frequency depends on your response)
Often injections; your plan may change based on how you respond
Outpatient procedure with same-day discharge and short recovery
Fertilization and embryo development updates over several days
Transfer timing is personalized (fresh in select cases or freeze + FET)
IUI places sperm into the uterus around ovulation. IVF fertilizes eggs in the lab to create embryos, then transfers an embryo—often offering higher success for many diagnoses.
From the start of stimulation to egg retrieval is commonly about 2 weeks. Full timing varies depending on prep, your response, and whether you transfer fresh or plan a frozen transfer later.
Most IVF cycles involve injectable medications during stimulation. Your exact plan depends on your ovarian reserve, diagnosis, and response to monitoring.
There’s no single number. Success depends more on egg quality and embryo development than egg count alone—so we focus on the healthiest response for your body.
Not always. ICSI may be recommended for male factor infertility, prior fertilization issues, or other specific indications. We choose based on your case—not by default.
It depends. Some patients do well with fresh transfer, while others benefit from freezing embryos and transferring in a later cycle when the uterine environment is optimized.
Risks vary based on response to stimulation. OHSS is less common with careful dosing and the right trigger strategy, and we monitor closely to prioritize safety.
We review what your cycle data shows (response, maturity, fertilization, embryo development) and adjust strategy. Many patients benefit from a more individualized protocol approach the next cycle.
