If the first cycle does not lead to clinical pregnancy, the patient can undergo a second cycle either with cryopreserved embryos or with fresh stimulation. When the patient opts for "Two cycle Program" they get a second cycle without paying for any extra procedural * charges.
The prime benefit of a Two cycle Program is that the patient can undergo the second cycle without paying for any extra procedural charges.
The first cycle is a stimulated cycle. At the end of the cycle, there is always a possibility of having a few good quality embryos available after Embryo transfer. Our Embryologist will suggest if these embryos' can be Cryo-preserved (frozen at -196° C) for future use.
Under the TCP program, you can avail discount on the Cryo-preservation of these embryos. In the event, you are unable to obtain pregnancy from the first cycle, for the second cycle the cryo-preserved embryos may be thawed and transferred into the uterus during the second cycle. Clinically, Frozen Embryo Transfer also give equally good pregnancy rates.
Under the TCP program you can avail discount on Embryo Thawing and the patient does not have to pay for Embryo Transfer.
There can be a scenario where there are no surplus good quality embryos left. In such cases, if the first cycle fails, the patient has to undergo stimulation once again for the second cycle. The benefit in this case is that the patient need not pay for any of the Ovum pick up procedural* charges in the second cycle. So the patient bears only medicines & anesthesia cost.
Thus, you are benefited under the Two cycle Program in both the scenarios.
