Would you like to opt for fertility treatment but have concerns about hormonal stimulation with medication? Then In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF) in the natural cycle offers you an alternative treatment option.
We offer IVF in the natural cycle to all women who prefer to avoid hormonal treatments and the use of medications and who have health concerns regarding possible side effects. IVF in the natural cycle is a gentle and less invasive method of In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF) that does not interfere with the hormonal balance to stimulate the ovaries or control ovulation. Instead, we rely on the woman’s natural cycle, allowing the body to maintain its own rhythm, which some find to be a more natural approach.
How does IVF in the natural cycle work?
In IVF in the natural cycle, we monitor your natural menstrual cycle using ultrasound. Shortly before ovulation, we retrieve the matured egg and fertilize it in our reproductive medicine laboratory with fresh sperm from your partner. From this point onward, the treatment follows the same course as conventional IVF. The fertilized egg is then transferred into your uterus, where it ideally develops into a pregnancy.
Is IVF in the natural cycle suitable for me?
Whether IVF in the natural cycle is a good alternative to conventional IVF for you depends on several factors, including your age, individual health, an undisturbed hormonal balance, a regular menstrual cycle, and the high fertility of your eggs. Our experienced reproductive specialists, with recognized expertise, will thoroughly examine and advise you to support your decision. Because there is no hormonal stimulation, more attempts are typically needed for a successful pregnancy than with conventional IVF.
IVF in the natural cycle is a less invasive fertility treatment method that does not interfere with hormonal balance, has fewer side effects, and involves fewer interventions.
