IUI/IVF Protocols

These may be given in a variety of combinations called protocols. In conventional IVF two types of protocols are commonly used; the long protocol and the short protocol. The drugs used in both protocols are the same however the dosages and the period administered are different. The medical practitioner reviews the patient’s records (woman’s age, response to the medication and the outcome of previous attempts) and determines which protocol will be used for the upcoming treatment cycle. IVF is a Basic ART Course for Clinicians which gives an in-depth understanding of all aspects of an IUI and In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF) cycle, from pre-treatment evaluation and testing, through the entire treatment path, and into planning for future cycles. This is a didactic course and comprises of lectures and case discussions.
