What patients are saying

After being diagnosed with Stage IV endometriosis and a diminished ovarian reserve (AMH = 0.2), we thought our fertility journey had ended. My wife and I heard about Life IVF in a FB group for people with low AMH and were filled with hope - the price was so reasonable compared to our other options, including flights and hotels each month for three retrievals and one transfer. Mini-IVF turned out to be exactly what we needed. After three retrievals we ended up with 4 PGS normal embryos and got pregnant on our first FET. We are forever grateful to Dr. Yelian and his team!
