IVF in Natural Cycle is an infertility treatment that follows the same process as conventional IVF, but without the use of hormonal stimulation to produce multiple eggs. Unlike conventional IVF, only one egg is retrieved, which means there will be only one embryo if the egg fertilizes normally. Additionally, around 30% of cycles are canceled due to premature ovulation. Current medical literature shows acceptable clinical pregnancy rates using Natural Cycle IVF, varying between 15-25% per embryo transfer.
