Natural Cycle IVF

general

Definition

An IVF approach with no or minimal stimulation medications, retrieving the single egg that develops in the natural cycle.

In IVF Treatment

Natural cycle IVF avoids stimulation side effects and is less expensive per cycle, but typically retrieves only one egg per attempt and has lower per-cycle success rates. It may suit patients for whom medications are contraindicated.
