Natural Cycle of IVF
In vitro fertilization (IVF) has revolutionized the way couples approach fertility challenges. Among the various IVF protocols, the natural cycle IVF method stands out due to its simplicity and alignment with the body’s natural processes. This technique relies on a woman’s natural ovulation cycle, where a single mature egg is retrieved and fertilized outside the body, enhancing the chances of conception without the need for extensive hormonal stimulation.
During a natural cycle IVF, the focus is on monitoring the natural menstrual cycle through careful observation of hormone levels and ultrasound assessments. This approach minimizes the use of fertility drugs, reducing the risk of side effects such as ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). Many women appreciate the lower physical and emotional burden associated with natural cycle IVF, as it allows for a more holistic experience.
The process begins with tracking the menstrual cycle to identify the optimal time for egg retrieval. Once the egg matures, it is retrieved during a minor surgical procedure. Following retrieval, the egg is fertilized with sperm in the laboratory. If fertilization is successful, the resulting embryo is cultured for a few days before being transferred to the uterus. The natural cycle IVF approach not only offers a gentler alternative to traditional IVF but also provides an opportunity for women to experience pregnancy with fewer interventions.
