IVF Program Options include Single-3 Cycle, Cryopreserved, Minimal Stimulation, Flexible and Guaranteed Programs and 3-Cycle and Clomid Banking Programs at F.I.R.M. based in Jacksonville, FL

IVF Program Options include a broad range of programs including Single-3 Cycle, Cryopreserved, Minimal Stimulation, Flexible, and Guaranteed as well as 3-Cycle Banking and Clomid Banking Programs at F.I.R.M.

Single IVF Cycle

This is the original and most common way people utilize IVF.  In it, fertility medications to stimulate the ovaries is used; followed by egg retrieval, egg fertilization, embryo transfer and freezing of any additional remaining embryos not transferred.  For younger women with a good probability of success and the desire of future frozen embryo use, this is generally the preferred plan.  Anyone may participate in this plan if they wish.  Specialized micro-manipulative embryology services (ICSI & assisted hatching), and future frozen embryo cycles are not included in the cost and are billed separately.  Pricing information for Single Cycle IVF


Cryopreserved IVF Cycle

Cryopreserved embryos are thawed and transferred in an estrogen/progesterone prepared cycle.  There is no refund associated with this program.  Pricing information for Cryopreserved IVF Cycle


Minimal Stimulation IVF Cycle (MINI STIM ®)

This is essentially the same as traditional single cycle IVF with the exception that a less intense drug regimen is used, resulting in lower quantity egg development.  Because of this, drug costs and monitoring costs are lower than traditional IVF.  Egg retrieval, fertilization, and embryo transfer are performed as in any IVF cycle.  However, excess embryos may not be available for freezing given the lower number of eggs produced.  This plan is ideally suited for those women who do not intend to have embryo freezing performed (e.g. only desire one more child, ethically opposed to embryo freezing), or will likely only have a few eggs develop whether they use minimal or high-dose drug stimulation (women with poor ovarian/egg reserve).  However, anyone may participate in this plan if they wish. Specialized micromanipulative embryology services (ICSI & assisted hatching), and future frozen embryo cycles are not included in the cost and are billed separately.  There is no refund associated with this program. Pricing information for Minimal Stimulation IVF Cycle


Three Cycle IVF Program

This program allows for up to three fresh IVF cycles, with all micromanipulative embryology services (ICSI & assisted hatching, if necessary), and frozen embryo attempts included within a 16 month time period.  Since three IVF cycles are being purchased simultaneously in advance, it is heavily discounted.  This program makes sense for a woman with a lower than optimal probability of success with one IVF attempt, and therefore will likely require several IVF attempts in order to obtain the highest success rate.  However, anyone may participate in this plan if they wish.  There are no refunds, whether pregnancy occurs before three fresh cycles are used, or does not occur after three fresh cycles are completed, associated with this program.

Flexible IVF Program

The Fertility Options IVF Plan is designed for patients who are considering own-egg or donor-egg treatment options.  It provides for greater flexibility when utilizing their financial resources.  It includes either three pre-paid cycles of own-egg IVF, or one cycle of own-egg IVF followed by one cycle of cryopreserved donor-egg IVF.  Whether to proceed with further own-egg IVF cycles or the donor egg IVF cycle is made after the first own-egg IVF cycle, if pregnancy does not result after use of all the embryos produced by that first own-egg IVF cycle. Pricing information for Flexible IVF Program


IVF Guarantee Program

This package allows for up to three fresh IVF cycles, with all micromanipulative embryology services (ICSI & assisted hatching, if necessary), and frozen embryo attempts included within a 16 month time period.  Anesthesia charges are not included or refundable and are billed separately per cycle performed.  If pregnancy progressing to 20 weeks gestation does not occur after completing all three fresh IVF cycles and associated frozen embryo transfers, then 70% of our fee will be refunded.  Please note, not all patients will qualify for this program, and inclusion/exclusion criteria must be met before acceptance into the program.   This program works well for those women wanting to know they will have the financial ability to pursue other family building measures such as donor egg or embryo adoption, if they do not become pregnant with through the use of IVF with their own eggs.  Pricing information for IVF Guarantee Program


Three Cycle Banking Program

This package includes three fresh IVF cycles, in which any resulting blastocyst(s) are cryopreserved. If pre-embryo genetic testing is desire biopsy will be performed prior to cryopreservation. This program is discounted and there are no refunds, guarantees of obtaining a chromosomally normal embryo, or ongoing pregnancy, with this program. This program is felt to be best suited for women of advanced reproductive age whose per cycle IVF success rates are expected to be low, and who wish to maximize their embryo transfer success rate by identifying those embryos most likely to initiate a pregnancy prior to embryo transfer. Pricing information for three cycle IVF Banking


Clomid Banking IVF program

This package includes three clomid IVF cycles in which any resulting blastocysts are cryopreserved. It is intended for very low response patients who would not get more than 1-3 eggs with high dose gonadotropin therapy. The idea behind the program is to potentially be able to transfer 1-3 blastocyst embryos to an individual with very low ovarian reserve at the same cost as a single IVF high dose gonadotropin cycle.. If pre-embryo genetic testing is desired, biopsy will be performed prior to cryopreservation. Pre-embryo genetic testing is an added cost. This program is discounted and there are no refunds, guarantees of obtaining a euploid or high quality embryo or ongoing pregnancy. This program is intended for women with very low ovarian reserve who still wish to try and initiate pregnancy with their own eggs. Pricing information for Clomid Banking IVF program

friends of F.I.R.M.

Dr. Winslow, We cannot thank you enough for the miracle that you have brought to our lives. We tried for 2 years to get pregnant on our own, and then tried for a tad less than a year at another clinic. Incredibly, after one visit with you and your team we have our first pregnancy. […]
