Natural or conventional IVF Treatment ?
The difference between natural IVF and conventional IVF stands with the medications that are used to stimulate the ovaries. When we talk about natural IVF, we refer to a situation where you do not take any hormones to stimulate the development of the follicles within which the eggs are contained. So in cases where you embark on natural cycle IVF, we are likely just to collect one egg from the one follicle you have in the ovaries. When we talk about conventional stimulation, IVF, in that case, we expect to collect multiple eggs from multiple follicles. The reason being that your ovaries would've been stimulated with hormones from the outside to induce the development of all those follicles.
