If you’ve been exploring IVF treatment options, you may have come across terms like mild IVF or natural modified IVF. At MedHealth, we focus on these gentler IVF approaches to help improve outcomes while reducing physical and emotional stress.
Mild and natural modified IVF are increasingly recognised worldwide for their patient-friendly approach. At MedHealth, our fertility specialists bring together international best practices and advanced reproductive technology to deliver safe, effective, and personalised IVF care.
Simply put, mild and natural modified IVF use lower doses of fertility medication compared to conventional IVF. These approaches work in harmony with your natural menstrual cycle, aiming to retrieve fewer but higher-quality eggs, rather than focusing on quantity alone.
This gentler method reduces the risk of complications such as ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), while still maintaining a strong focus on achieving healthy pregnancies.
You may not have heard of mild or natural modified IVF before, but if you’re seeking a more personalised and less intensive fertility journey, this gentle approach at MedHealth may be worth considering.
At MedHealth IVF, ultrasound is not just a routine scan — it is the foundation of your fertility treatment. From the very beginning, ultrasound helps us assess your ovarian reserve, follicle growth, uterine lining, and other key factors that guide every important decision throughout your IVF journey.
Each stage of your treatment is carefully planned based on what these scans reveal, allowing us to tailor care specifically to your body and needs.
Your initial ultrasound at MedHealth may help assess:
Ovarian reserve and follicle count
Uterine lining and shape
Ovarian and pelvic health
Signs of conditions that may affect fertility
Advanced ultrasound techniques can often identify features suggestive of endometriosis or adenomyosis, helping guide further evaluation and treatment planning. Early identification supports more targeted and effective fertility care.
You may not realise how important ultrasound is in fertility care, but at MedHealth, advanced ultrasound forms the foundation of a more personalised, precise, and carefully guided treatment journey.
Natural Modified IVF
Natural modified IVF works alongside your natural menstrual cycle, using little or no fertility medication. At MedHealth, this approach focuses on retrieving one or a small number of naturally selected eggs, making it suitable for patients who prefer minimal intervention or have a low ovarian reserve.
Mild IVF
Mild IVF uses low-dose fertility medication to gently stimulate the ovaries. The goal at MedHealth is to produce a small number of high-quality eggs while reducing side effects, treatment stress, and medication exposure.
Conventional IVF
Conventional IVF involves higher doses of medication to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs in one cycle. At MedHealth, this approach is carefully managed and recommended only when it is the most suitable option for achieving the best possible outcome.
Choosing the Right Approach
There is no single IVF method that suits everyone. At MedHealth, treatment is personalised using detailed assessments, advanced ultrasound, and expert guidance to recommend the IVF approach that best matches your medical needs and fertility goals.
Your journey begins with a detailed consultation at MedHealth, where our fertility specialist reviews your medical history and performs a comprehensive in-house ultrasound. This first scan helps us understand your reproductive health and forms the foundation for a personalised treatment plan.
Based on your ovarian reserve, hormone levels, ultrasound findings, and personal goals, your MedHealth fertility specialist creates a customised treatment plan. This ensures your IVF approach is carefully aligned with your body, needs, and preferences from the very beginning.
During this stage, low-dose hormone medications are used for approximately 7 to 12 days to support follicle development. At MedHealth, stimulation is carefully monitored and adjusted to encourage healthy egg development while minimising side effects and treatment stress.
Regular ultrasound scans are carried out to closely monitor follicle growth and hormone response. At MedHealth, these scans are performed by your fertility specialist to ensure accurate, real-time assessment and timely adjustments to your treatment, keeping your cycle safe and on track.
From day 2 to 5 of your cycle onwards, blood tests are used to monitor hormone levels and assess how your body is responding to the medication. Typically, this involves around 3 to 4 visits, spaced every 2 to 4 days, allowing your MedHealth care team to fine-tune treatment for the best possible outcome.
Egg collection is performed at MedHealth in a safe, controlled clinical setting. The retrieved eggs are carefully handled by our experienced embryology team, followed by fertilisation and embryo development. Once ready, a carefully timed embryo transfer is carried out, completing this stage of your IVF journey.
