About This Treatment

IVF without ovarian stimulation medications, collecting the single naturally selected egg each menstrual cycle. An ultra-gentle option offered at major Chinese fertility centers for patients who want to avoid hormonal stimulation entirely.

Procedure Steps
1

Cycle Monitoring

Duration: 30 minutes
3

Fertilization

  • 70% cost savings per cycle compared to US natural cycle IVF
  • Can be repeated monthly without recovery breaks
  • Best for women who cannot tolerate fertility medications
Considerations
  • Only one egg per cycle — lower per-cycle success rate
  • Cycle may be cancelled if egg is not retrieved or fails to fertilize
  • Multiple cycles often needed, increasing cumulative cost and time
  • Not recommended for patients with poor egg quality
