Procedure of Natural IVF cycle:

Natural IVF cycle is considered traditional as well as safe treatment procedure for treating infertility. It is an appropriate approach for those couples who don’t want to alter their monthly ovulation cycle. In this procedure ovaries are not required to undergo stimulation process. This cycle is considered entirely drug free but it is usually supported with minimal drugs usage. But there is no need to stimulate ovaries for production of multiple eggs. It also reduces the cost of fertility drugs which is also beneficial to those couples who have low budget as compare to conventional IVF cycle. 

Firstly, the female will undergo medical screening which will evaluate the exact date of egg maturation with the help of ultrasounds and hormonal examination. Once the egg is produced through normal ovulation then it is matured with the help of HCG injection for inducing final maturation of single egg. After that single, matured egg is retrieved from woman with help of a minor surgery of egg retrieval or egg pickup. After that same procedure is followed as in conventional IVF cycle that is male and female 

gametes are placed together for fertilization in incubator. Fertilization is achieved when the sperms gets penetrated into egg’s cytoplasm and fuses with it to form a single cell embryo. After the fertilization, when embryo reaches the stage of blastocyst then it is implanted into the uterus of intended mother with the help of a catheter. Progesterone supplement is also used in this cycle before implantation to support the development of uterine lining for receiving embryo. A pregnancy test is also done in 14 to 15 days post implantation of embryo to confirm pregnancy.
