Natural Cycle IVF

The only IVF treatment centre that prefers to offer successful and safe Natural and Mild IVF as a first option

Natural Cycle IVF treatment is carried out without the use of fertility drugs.

At CREATE Health, we encourage people to explore Natural and Mild IVF treatments in the first instance. The success rates may be lower compared to stimulated cycles but the treatment is safer, less expensive and can be repeated in subsequent cycles.

Why choose Natural Cycle IVF?

There is a renewed scientific interest in a more natural approach to IVF cycles, for the following reasons:

Scientific advances are making Natural Cycle IVF more successful

A better understanding of ovarian physiology, advances in ultrasound technology and the clinical availability of certain hormones have allowed ovarian stimulation to be started in the natural menstrual cycle – giving us the opportunity to develop novel, more gentle approaches to IVF treatment.

Advances in embryology, ultrasound technology and endocrinology are making Natural and Mild IVF treatments more successful and increasingly relevant to everyday practice.

Natural Cycle IVF works and we have an impressive track record with lots of happy and satisfied patients to prove it.

Natural Cycle IVF is a safer option

The health and wellbeing of mother and child is our first priority. Natural Cycle IVF is a less invasive approach where the use of less stimulating drugs leads to fewer potential risks and side effects.

In conventional Stimulated IVF treatments the patient takes drugs to stimulate her ovaries to produce multiple eggs, which can lead to risks associated with multiple pregnancies. The treatment cycle is also prolonged by nearly two weeks due to suppression of the ovaries – leading to unpleasant menopausal symptoms.

The potential risks with Stimulated IVF also include Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS), adverse conditions in the lining of the womb for embryo transplantation and an increase in chromosome abnormalities in both eggs and embryo.

Natural Cycle IVF avoids side-effects such as headaches, hot flushes, bloating, mood changes or other concerns relating to ovarian stimulation.

Natural Cycle IVF is less expensive

Natural Cycle IVF is less expensive than Stimulated IVF treatments as it does not require a daily dose and cumulative dose of costly medications.

Natural Cycle IVF can be repeated in consecutive cycles

Natural Cycle IVF patients can repeat their treatment in consecutive cycles – whereas, due to the effect of ovarian stimulation drugs on the body, Stimulated IVF patients need to take 2-3 months break between cycles.

The Natural Cycle IVF procedure

The procedure involves the collection of a naturally produced egg, fertilisation in a laboratory, and placement of an embryo into the uterus, which has not been stimulated by medication.
