Double Stimulation (Duo Stim) is an advanced technique in in vitro fertilization (IVF), primarily used for women with a diminished ovarian reserve or those seeking to maximize their chances of pregnancy. Instead of undergoing two separate cycles, Double Stimulation involves two phases of ovarian stimulation within a single menstrual cycle, aiming to retrieve a higher number of eggs.
This approach allows for the collection of more eggs from women with a low ovarian reserve, potentially improving embryo quality and increasing IVF success rates. It is particularly beneficial for women who do not respond adequately to a single stimulation phase, providing more opportunities to create viable embryos.
The method has proven effective for women of advanced maternal age or those with low egg quality, as it optimizes the use of the available ovarian reserve. By implementing Double Stimulation, patients may experience a higher chance of pregnancy while reducing the need for multiple procedures and shortening the overall treatment time.

Advantages of Double Stimulation IVF: Increased Chances and Optimized Results
Increased number of eggs
Facilitates the retrieval of more eggs, which is useful for women with a low ovarian reserve.
Reduced treatment time
Instead of two separate stimulation cycles, two phases of stimulation are performed in the same cycle, reducing the overall time of the process.
Improved egg quality
Aims to enhance the quality of the eggs retrieved for fertilization through better-controlled stimulation.
Increased flexibility for fertilization options
Double stimulation provides more eggs, offering greater flexibility for doctors to select the healthiest and most suitable eggs for fertilization, improving pregnancy chances.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONSAbout Duo Stim
What is Duo Stim?
Duo Stim is a method where two phases of ovarian stimulation are carried out within a single cycle to extract more eggs and improve the chances of pregnancy.
In which cases is Duo Stim recommended?
Duo Stim is typically used for women with a low ovarian reserve or those who have experienced failure in previous IVF attempts.
What are the phases of Duo Stim?
Duo stim includes the first phase of stimulation, which aims to develop the eggs, followed by a second phase, after a short break, for further maturation and collection of more eggs.
How long does the Duo Stim process take?
Duo Stim usually lasts about 6-8 weeks and involves monitoring the development of the eggs and the process of their collection.
