Competence Network: IVF-Naturelle® Your gentle way to having a baby
Dear Readers,
The wish to undergo milder infertility treatments has prompted us to develop the so-called “IVF-Naturelle®” technique, a special form of in vitro fertilization. We largely refrain from using hormone stimulation because the natural cycle produces better embryos and is more beneficial to women's health, and probably that of the children. We are a network of centres who specialize in IVF-Naturelle® and are constantly further developing it.
Prof. Michael von Wolff & the teams in Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Italy and Spain are looking forward to meeting you.
What is IVF-Naturelle®?
The IVF-Naturelle® Competence Network
The members of the Competence Network carry out IVF-Naturelle® treatments using methods which have been optimized over several years at the University Hospital for Women in Bern. All these member centres have a high level of expertise. The centres have also committed themselves to documenting their treatments in detail and to always reflect upon their work with the centre in Bern to guarantee high quality and constant optimisation. All the centres listed below also carry out all other commonly used fertility and IVF treatments.

Natural cycle IVF – the state of the art
NC-IVF becomes an increasingly accepted techniques among scientists and clinicians. Prof. von Wolff was invited by a well known scientific journal to write a comprehensive review of this technique. The article was reviewed by blinded experts. Accordingly, the article is an objective description of the state of the art of Natural Cycle IVF.

Science
The technique of IVF in a natural cycle is as old as IVF itself. However, over the last decades, IVF techniques have shifted more towards IVF with high-dose hormone stimulation.
IVF in a largely natural cycle, i.e. IVF-Naturelle® as defined by us, is not commonly used and therefore the procedures and treatment results are only partly understood by many.
