Natural Cycle IVF Program Flourishes at Dominion Fertility

In 2007, Dominion Fertility launched its Natural Cycle IVF program, a simple yet innovative form of in vitro fertilization that is based on a woman’s natural cycle, and does not require fertility drugs. Created and implemented in an effort to address and decrease the emotional, physical and financial stresses associated with traditional IVF, Natural Cycle has proven to be a safe and effective alternative. Dominion currently has several patients with ongoing pregnancies resulting from NCIVF.

Why Natural Cycle?

In 1978 the first successful IVF procedure was performed without the use of fertility drugs. Low success rates in subsequent attempts prompted their addition. Since then, technology and laboratory technique have so improved that many Dominion Fertility patients have become pregnant with the implantation of a single embryo.

Natural Cycle IVF is based on the premise that pregnancy can occur using a single embryo and a woman’s natural cycle, just like most spontaneous pregnancies. During a simple, in office procedure, one egg is retrieved, fertilized and replaced in the uterus. No fertility drugs, virtually no health risks and minimal time away from all other life commitments.

The doctors and staff of Dominion Fertility take great pride in our tradition of personalized care and there is no better way to offer individualized treatment than to offer more treatment options.
