What is Natural Cycle IVF?
Is Natural Cycle IVF for me?
It may be worth discussing this treatment option if your periods are fairly regular and you are ovulating normally, but:
-
you are unable to take fertility drugs (for example, cancer patients or those whose clinician has suggested that they are at risk of OHSS – ovarian hyper-stimulation – a dangerous over-reaction to fertility drugs)
-
because for personal or religious beliefs you do not wish to have surplus eggs or embryos destroyed or stored.
Natural cycle IVF is a treatment similar to traditional, or stimulated, IVF, but without the use of medications to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs. It might sound appealing to those who dislike medications.

How does Natural Cycle IVF differ from Mini IVF?
Natural Cycle IVF uses the body’s natural ovulation process without fertility drugs, while Mini IVF involves some hormonal stimulation but uses fewer medications than traditional IVF.
What are the eligibility criteria for Natural Cycle IVF?
Eligibility generally includes having regular menstrual cycles, normal ovulation, and no underlying health conditions that could complicate the procedure. A consultation with a fertility specialist can provide personalized guidance.
How many cycles of Natural Cycle IVF are typically needed to achieve pregnancy?
The number of cycles required varies for each individual. Some may achieve pregnancy in the first cycle, while others may need several attempts.
Can Natural Cycle IVF be used for women with irregular periods?
Natural Cycle IVF is typically not recommended for women with irregular cycles, as consistent ovulation is crucial for the success of the procedure. However, alternatives can be explored in consultation with a fertility specialist.

If the fertilized egg does not implant in the uterus, it will be naturally absorbed by the body. Unlike traditional IVF, there are no surplus embryos to freeze or discard in Natural Cycle IVF.
