Hi, uh, I'm Dr. David Barad, uh, s- Associate Medical Director at Center for Human Reproduction, and I'm here with our medical director, Dr. Norbert Gleicher.

And we'd like to talk to you today a little bit about, uh, natural, uh, versus stimulated IVF cycles.

Um, a lot of patients come to us saying, uh, you know, they want to do a natural cycle, but I'm not sure they actually really understand, you know, what that means.

So, uh, natural cycles are obviously something very nice, very good, very convenient when it works.

Um, but, uh, it kind of makes little sense, unless in very exceptional circumstances, uh, to step back to natural when what, what brought people into fertility clinics is the fact that the natural cycle basically didn't work.
