Introduction to Precision IVF
To counter the flaws he saw in traditional IVF methods, Dr. Yelian began developing the foundations of Precision IVF at Life IVF Center in 2012. After decades of conventional IVF experience and research into the most advanced stimulation protocols, Dr. Yelian launched Precision IVF out of his belief in prioritizing the results and well-being of patients over the convenience of physicians.
The result is a revolutionary approach to fertility treatment, designing a custom protocol specifically tailored to each patient’s body using the optimal level of medication to help achieve their fertility goals.
Age
Different patient age ranges have different rates of genetically-normal embryos
Cause(s) of Infertility
Different causes of fertility issues must be treated with distinct approaches
Ovarian Function
Different degrees of ovarian function may require different medication protocols
Uterine Condition
Uterine condition may have different treatment or intervention needs
Preferences and Lifestyle
Patients may have a range of impactful personal factors and preferences
Fertility Goal
Patients hoping for multiple children or a specific gender will need more embryos
How Precision IVF differs from Conventional IVF
Fertility treatment can’t be one-size-fits-all, but unfortunately that’s not usually the case at most IVF programs. Treating a 30-year-old PCOS patient should be different from a 40-year-old with endometriosis, but most IVF centers use nearly identical treatment plan “templates” for patients of all ages and challenges.
This means daily hormone injections to force the body to produce many eggs. While this can be effective for some, the process has many downsides: it creates heavy stress on the patient’s body, has staggering medication costs, an ethically questionable number of unused embryos, and often dangerous side effects.

How Precision IVF works
With Precision IVF, we take a patient-centric approach that starts with a comprehensive evaluation of your medical history, current condition, lifestyle factors, and desired outcomes to design a treatment tailored for you rather than the average of all patients.
This allows us to assess the best course of action for your situation while also informing decisions related to medications, procedure types, monitoring protocols, transfer timing and embryo selection.
Precision IVF emphasizes matching the right medication to the right underlying condition, the right dosage to the right ovarian function level, and ultimately the right treatment protocol for each patient. By properly doing so, it is safe, simple, and a highly cost-effective IVF option for all infertility patients.
The world’s first Precision IVF case was completed for a 38-year-old patient with endometriosis. She wished to do IVF but without using any fertility drugs. Dr. Yelian performed a fully natural cycle egg retrieval using no hormones whatsoever. He retrieved one egg, used a single sperm for ICSI, and made one blastocyst. PGT-A testing determined the blastocyst was health and normal. Transferring this embryo then resulted in the live birth of a healthy baby girl. Since then, Dr. Yelian and the Life IVF Center team have helped thousands of patients build the families of their dreams with Precision IVF.

What patients are saying
We were told that IVF was our only option to ensure that we would have a healthy baby. We were referred to Dr. Yelian’s office through a friend of ours that had a successful IVF pregnancy through his office. From the moment we went to our first appointment to our last appointment, when we graduated to our regular OB, we both felt that we were in good hands at Life IVF. Thank you for our healthy miracle baby boy!
