Natural IVF, also known as "minimal stimulation IVF," is a fertility treatment that aims to minimize the use of fertility medications and other interventions in order to more closely mimic the body's natural reproductive process.

During Natural IVF, the woman's menstrual cycle is carefully monitored to determine the optimal time for egg retrieval. Only a minimal amount of fertility medications may be used to stimulate the production of a small number of eggs. The eggs are then retrieved and fertilized with sperm in a laboratory dish, and the resulting embryos are transferred to the woman's uterus.

The goal of Natural IVF is to reduce the risk of side effects associated with fertility medications and to increase the chances of a successful pregnancy. However, it is important to note that Natural IVF may not be suitable for everyone, and success rates may be lower compared to traditional IVF. It is important to discuss the potential risks and benefits of Natural IVF with a fertility specialist.

The process of IVF involves several steps:

• Ovarian monitoring: The woman's menstrual cycle is carefully monitored using methods such as ultrasound and hormone testing to determine the optimal time for egg retrieval.
• Ovarian stimulation: A minimal amount of fertility medications may be used to stimulate the production of a small number of eggs.
• Egg retrieval: The eggs are retrieved from the woman's ovaries using a needle and ultrasound guidance.
• Fertilization: The eggs are combined with sperm in a laboratory dish, where fertilization occurs.
• Embryo culture: The resulting embryos are cultured in the laboratory for a few days.
• Embryo transfer: One or more embryos are transferred to the woman's uterus through the cervix, with the hope that at least one will implant and result in a pregnancy.

It is important to note that the specifics of the Natural IVF process may vary depending on the individual case and the fertility specialist's approach. It is important to discuss the details of the treatment plan with a fertility specialist.
