Natural cycle IVF's unique characteristic is that it is the most holistic IVF possible. It avoids fertility hormone drugs that would otherwise stimulate your ovaries to produce multiple eggs. It is intended to only capture the one egg your body naturally develops each month during your menstrual cycle. This egg is generally the best quality egg a woman's body will produce (even when IVF drugs are used), with the greatest chance for pregnancy. Women who choose natural cycle IVF generally favor its holistic approach, which is closer to the way nature intended women to conceive and create life.
Natural cycle IVF is ideal for women who choose to live a drug- and chemical-free lifestyle or for women who, because of age or poor fertility health, are less likely to produce multiple eggs even if heavy IVF drugs are administered. For women who cannot produce multiple eggs even with drug therapy, natural cycle IVF allows them to avoid the health risks and high expense of IVF drugs, as well as the discomfort of daily injections. When they do undergo IVF drug therapy these women are typically offered only limited IVF access and are either refused care or made to suffer cancelled cycles because they cannot produce more than three to five eggs. At New Hope Fertility we provide women with a wide range of options to suit them, including natural cycle IVF and the promise of our One Good Egg Policy, which ensures you will not be turned away for producing too few eggs.
The downside of natural cycle IVF is that it is unsuited to the freezing of surplus embryos each cycle, since generally only one embryo is developed. Many women, however, want a supply of frozen embryos for future use when they are ready to add additional children to their family. This apparent limitation of the natural cycle procedure can be overcome by freezing embryos for your Embryo Bank in the first few cycles and then transferring a fresh embryo for the initial pregnancy attempt.
