Natural cycle IVF

ADVANTAGES AND HOW IT WORKS

Minimal drug intervention in the body and a high level of safety are not all the priority aspects of natural cycle IVF. Among other advantages of the procedure professionals identify:

• Multiple pregnancy is reduced to a minimum.
• Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome does not occur.
• Receptive quality of endometrium is several times higher.
• Can be carried out for several months.
• Affordable cost and minimal time spent.

The cycle of performing of natural cycle IVF has an identical scheme, as in any other method of artificial insemination. The only difference is in the following paragraphs:

• There is no need to stimulate ovulation – the patient is given a minimum amount of drugs or they are completely absent.
• The doctor performs full control of the process, choosing the most suitable day for puncture – the woman will need to regularly take tests and do ultrasound.
• Fertilization can occur not from the first time – the embryo transfer stage may not be implemented due to the lack of quality element.

Speaking about the time that is necessary for natural cycle IVF, it is impossible to tell the exact time intervals. On average, the protocol with minimal drug interventions lasts two times longer than standardized. This is due to the fact that fertilization may not occur from the first time, as a result of which it will be necessary to try again.
