anyone going through or starting natural IVF in 2019/2020? Anyone that has succeeded using this method? And what was your story?
We did IVF in 2016 and I got pregnant and had a healthy baby girl in 2017. I did, however, have a very difficult pregnancy and one of the problems was Cholestasis which is a hereditary pregnancy induced liver disease and can be made worse by the IVF hormones. In fact I have been told I will never be able to take the pill again (not that it's needed anyways). Therefore, when I heard of natural IVF I got excited as I feel this could be something for us.
The reason we did IVF was male factor infertility (low no. of sperm, low motility and mobility) and i have irregular cycles and polycystic ovaries (no extra testosterone so not the PCOS therefore). They were unsure if I could get pregnant naturally - the reason for IVF was male factor.
I do wonder though if my irregular cycles will be a problem for mini IVF? I still haven't got my period back since having my first baby, but I am still breastfeeding her. Before the baby I used to have cycles within the range of 28-90days - not once in a year was it the same duration.
I read on the internet that natural IVF is suitable for male factor infertility, but is there a limit to how low quality the sperm can be? When we did IVF we had very low success at getting good embryos so i am worried of how this would actually work with just one egg?
We are not yet ready to start trying again, we will visit our doctor only in August/September time so untill then I will not be able to discuss the possibility of natural IVF with her. So I hope to be able to discuss this here meanwhile.
