APHRODITE KIT
The Aphrodite kit is a patented breakthrough kit that includes everything you need for your Gentle IVF fertility treatment without coming to the office for the repeated monitoring visits for blood draws and ultrasounds. It was invented during the COVID-19 pandemic when there were guidelines for “stay at home” policy. It requires only ONE in-person visit to the office on the day of your egg retrieval procedure.
HOW DOES IT WORK? HERE ARE THE 3 STEPS:
The patient has a video or phone consultation with an RFC doctor.
Second, the patient will take the oral pills and nasal spray as indicated in the kit instructions.
Third, the patient comes to RFC for the egg collection.
what are the advantages of the aphrodite kit?
- Lowers cost by avoiding the expensive injectable fertility drugs
- Avoids the pain and the discomfort of the daily injections and the frequent blood draws and ultrasounds
- Saves cost on all the monitoring visits to the office
