  1. Natural / Mild IVF When is Natural IVF right for you? www.drsuparnabanerjee.com

  2. Natural cycle IVF (in vitro fertilisation) simply means the of collection and fertilization of the one egg (a single oocyte) that a woman releases during her normal monthly menstruation cycle.This method can appeal to couples because it provides a lower risk, patient friendly alternative to conventional IVF treatment as there are no medications required to stimulate the woman’s ovaries to induct egg production.

  3. Every Egg Counts Even an increase from 1 egg collected (the likely maximum in a natural cycle) to 2 or 3 eggs significantly improves chances of IVF success.

  4. When is Natural IVF right for you? In general, the doctors at The Ankur Fertility Clinic advise patients to undergo a stimulated cycle because the success rates for IVF treatment improve with increasing numbers of eggs collected. However, in those who are naturally ovulating and medication is unlikely to help recruit more than this one egg, "natural IVF" may be most appropriate. This is particularly the case in those with a very low ovarian reserve or in those who have previously used high doses of medication but still only achieved a single follicle. As with mild IVF it may also be offered to those who have concerns over the side effects of medication, a medical problem where stimulation may not be possible or to absolutely eliminate OHSS risk.

  5. When might Natural IVF NOT be right for you? In general, the doctors at The Ankur Fertility Clinic advise patients to undergo a stimulated cycle because the success rates for IVF treatment improve with increasing numbers of eggs collected. However, in those who are naturally ovulating and medication is unlikely to help recruit more than this one egg, "natural IVF" may be most appropriate. This is particularly the case in those with a very low ovarian reserve or in those who have previously used high doses of medication but still only achieved a single follicle. As with mild IVF it may also be offered to those who have concerns over the side effects of medication, a medical problem where stimulation may not be possible or to absolutely eliminate OHSS risk.

  6. When might Natural IVF NOT be right for you? 44% of Natural Cycles DO NOT result in eggs being collected. 57% of Natural cycles DO NOT result in embryos being transferred. The overall livebirth rate for Natural IVF is <5% It takes almost 5 natural cycles for every 1 stimulated cycle to achieve a livebirth. There is no difference in later pregnancy risks such as preterm delivery or low birthweight. Source: (HFEA data 1991-2011: Sunkara et al, Human Reproduction, 2016) This clearly demonstrates that if you include all cycles (both stimulated and natural) at these clinics the overall success rates are in fact 15.8% and 23.0% for LB/embryo and LB/cycle rather than the figures of 18.4% and 32.5% that are reported for headline success.

  7. Mild IVF Mild stimulation IVF is one of the many tools at our disposal to minimize risk and is, in essence, just the sensible choice of a lower starting dose in a protocol that minimises hyperstimulation risk. So, in patients with a good ovarian reserve and a higher likelihood of producing a good number of eggs, there is no benefit of using high doses of stimulation drugs. It is particularly suitable for women with polycystic ovarian syndrome who have a high risk of OHSS and in those with other medical conditions where risk of OHSS needs to be minimized.

  8. Mild IVF Along with the use of mild IVF regimes, we also minimize OHSS risk by: Optimising starting dose using a variety of ovarian reserve tests Antral follicle count on scan Measurement of antimullerian hormone (AMH) Measurement of FSH levels Endocrine monitoring throughout treatment with regular measurement of hormone levels to allow appropriate dose adjustments if needed. The use of alternative "agonist trigger" injection where needed to mature eggs before collection that can virtually eliminate OHSS risk.

  9. Segmenting treatment cycles by freezing all embryos if necessary and transferring in a future natural cycle thereby allowing the body to recover and avoiding OHSS risk.Mild regimes are therefore a vital tool in our armory, that are used in a significant proportion of cycles. Choice of protocol is always made after discussion of all relevant factors with our patients to help them decide whether to go for low, medium or high stimulation based on their condition and the risks of potential side effects.
