Natural IVF study patients will undergo an IVF cycle with trigger shots of Lupron & hCG. Patients will not be given any other stimulating medications during the cycle. They will have 2 uterine aspirations and an endometrial biopsy at designated times. The first uterine aspiration will be randomized to one of four days (day before retrieval, day of retrieval, day after retrieval or 2 days after retrieval). The second uterine aspiration and endometrial biopsy will be performed 6 days after retrieval. Any embryo(s) obtained will be biopsied for Comprehensive Chromosome Screening (CCS) and frozen for use in a subsequent thaw cycle.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Natural IVF Cycle | All patients will undergo a natural IVF cycle using trigger shots of Leuprolide Acetate(Lupron) and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) to ensure the patient surges. |

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Endometrial Changes | To examine the endometrium within the natural cycle in order to accurately characterize the differences in multiple aspects of endocrine and paracrine hormonal activity, the transcriptome of cells influencing oocyte maturation and changes in the endometrium. | 1 Year |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Aneuploidy Rates | To examine aneuploidy rates in embryos from natural IVF cycles. | 1 Year |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Temporal Embryonic Development | To examine the parameters of temporal embryonic development and the transcriptome of granulosa cells and follicular fluid. The embryos will be graded at standard time points to determine whether there are differences in in vitro development. Granulosa cells and follicular fluid will undergo gene expression analysis and compared to the gene expression profiles found in those specimens in stimulated cycles. |
