Natural IVF
Most Holistic IVF Approach
Natural IVF works with your body's own rhythm. Instead of forcing your ovaries to produce multiple eggs, this method retrieves the one naturally selected, highest-quality egg your body produces that month—without injections or high-dose medications.
Why Natural IVF?
-
Zero injections & zero chemicals
-
Minimal monitoring
-
Most holistic & patient-friendly approach
-
Lower cost than other IVF options
-
Reduced risks associated with fertility medications
Who Is a Candidate?
Natural IVF may be ideal:
-
If you ovulate regularly and prefer to avoid fertility drugs
-
If you have low AMH / high FSH / diminished ovarian reserve (DOR)
-
If you are a poor responder to high-dose stimulation medications
-
If you have religious/ethical concerns about creating multiple embryos
-
If you have medical conditions that could get worse by IVF medications
-
If you have history of cancer
RFC's Advantage
RFC is nationally known for helping women over 40 with very low ovarian reserve. Our Natural IVF success rates exceed national averages—and RFC has helped the oldest woman in the U.S. (age 51) get pregnant using her own eggs.
Gentle/ Mini IVF
Fewer Medications, Better Egg Quality
Gentle IVF—also called Mini IVF™—uses oral medications with very low-dose injections or nasal spray to stimulate the ovaries just enough to produce a few high-quality eggs, rather than a large quantity.
Why Gentle IVF?
-
Fewer injections & minimized chemicals
-
Lower risk of OHSS
-
Higher-quality eggs resulting from gentler stimulation
-
Less stress & more patient-friendly experience
Who Is a Candidate?
Mini IVF is often recommended:
-
If you have PCOS
-
If you have Endometriosis
-
If you have low AMH / high FSH / diminished ovarian reserve (DOR)
-
If you are poor responders to high-dose medication stimulation
-
If you want to minimize chemicals
-
If you are cost conscious
-
If you have autoimmune or body inflammation issues
Where RFC Stands Out
RFC physicians are global pioneers in Gentle and Mini IVF, with multiple peer-reviewed publications showing improved outcomes using minimal stimulation protocols. We specialize in women told their chances were low elsewhere—and help many conceive using their own eggs.
Conventional IVF
High-Stimulation, Widely Used, and Effective
Conventional IVF uses stronger fertility medications to stimulate the ovaries to produce many eggs in a single cycle. While it is the most common IVF method worldwide, it is not always necessary or ideal for every patient.
Why Patients Choose Conventional IVF?
-
Often produces more eggs in a single cycle
-
May be recommended when embryo quantity is important
-
Can provide more embryos for PGT testing and freezing
Limitations to Consider
-
Requires >20 injections in many protocols
-
More monitoring and higher cost
-
High doses can produce more eggs but not always high-quality eggs
-
High risk of OHSS (Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome)
