Natural in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles offer a cost-effective and less invasive option for poor-responder patients, potentially yielding comparable results to standard hyperstimulation methods with reduced patient discomfort.

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Medicine
  • In Vitro Fertilization

Background:

  • The first in vitro fertilization (IVF) baby resulted from a natural cycle.
  • Controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) became standard for normoresponders due to high natural cycle cancellation rates.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of natural IVF cycles in poor-responder patients.

Main Methods:

  • Comparison of natural IVF cycles versus controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) in poor-responder patients.

Main Results:

  • Natural IVF cycles may yield a comparable number of follicles in poor responders.
  • Natural IVF cycles offer reduced costs and less patient discomfort compared to COH.

Conclusions:

  • Natural IVF cycles represent a viable and cost-effective approach for poor-responder patients.
  • This method may provide a suitable alternative for patients with diminished ovarian reserve.
