Natural IVF

In the world of assisted reproductive technology, Natural IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) has emerged as a patient-centered approach, emphasizing minimal stimulation and a gentler treatment process. Fertilica IVF Hospital is a pioneer in offering Natural IVF, providing individuals and couples with an alternative path to parenthood. In this article, we'll walk through the step-by-step process of Natural IVF at Fertilica IVF Hospital.

Who Should Consider Natural IVF:

• Women with a low ovarian reserve 
• Those who have experienced OHSS 
• Couples looking for a more cost-effective IVF option 

Steps Involved in Natural IVF:

Ovulation Monitoring: The process begins with monitoring the woman's natural menstrual cycle using ultrasound scans and blood tests to track the development of the ovarian follicles.

Egg Retrieval: When the follicles reach the desired maturity, an egg retrieval procedure is performed to collect the naturally developed eggs.

Sperm Collection: The male partner provides a sperm sample on the same day as egg retrieval.

Fertilization: The collected eggs and sperm are combined in a laboratory dish to allow for fertilization. This step is similar to conventional IVF.

Embryo Transfer: After successful fertilization, one or more healthy embryos are transferred into the woman's uterus, usually a few days after egg retrieval.

Advantages of Natural IVF:

Reduced Medication: Natural IVF uses minimal to no ovarian stimulation drugs, reducing the risk of associated side effects such as ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) and discomfort.

Lower Cost: Fewer medications mean lower treatment costs.

Safer for Some Patients: Natural IVF may be safer for women at risk of complications from ovarian stimulation drugs, such as those with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or a history of OHSS.

Avoiding Multiple Pregnancies: With fewer embryos transferred, the risk of multiple pregnancies is reduced.

Side Effects and Risks:

Lower Egg Yield: Natural IVF typically yields fewer eggs compared to traditional IVF, which may affect the chances of success.

Multiple Cycles: Some patients may require multiple cycles to collect enough eggs for a successful pregnancy, which can be emotionally and financially challenging.

Lower Success Rates: Success rates with Natural IVF may be lower for some couples, especially those with severe infertility issues.

Timing Challenges: Timing egg retrieval based on natural ovulation can be unpredictable and requires close monitoring.
