In vitro fertilization natural cycle
What is the natural cycle?
.
The process is simple. An analytical and ultrasound follow-up of follicular growth in a spontaneous ovarian cycle, as well as endometrial thickness, is carried out. Two to five controls are required over the course of this cycle. Only the final administration of HCGr and a GnRh antagonist analog is necessary to schedule the timing of follicular puncture. Subsequently, the fertilization of the ovum obtained in the usual way is carried out, as well as the embryo transfer.

How many natural cycles can be done? Do you have to wait a long time between one treatment and another?
.
There is no maximum number of natural cycles that can be performed. However, we know that if pregnancy has not been achieved in 3-4 attempts, the probability of success in successive treatments decreases significantly. On the other hand, by not administering any medication, in case of not achieving pregnancy in one attempt, it is possible to try again in the next cycle without having to wait any longer.
