Approximately 20% of women achieve natural conception following a previous pregnancy through in vitro fertilization (IVF). This phenomenon underscores the reproductive resilience observed in a notable fraction of individuals who have undergone assisted reproductive technologies. The observed recurrence of spontaneous pregnancies after IVF elucidates the dynamic nature of fertility, emphasizing the potential for subsequent unassisted conceptions in this demographic. This information contributes to a broader understanding of reproductive outcomes following assisted conception, highlighting the complex interplay of biological factors in post-IVF fertility dynamics.
