BACKGROUND The introduction of mild cycle IVF adds to the repertoire of fertility treatments. However, its place is still novel and is contested within the literature. Women's experiences of mild cycle IVF have received minimal attention. The aim of the study was to explore women's perspectives regarding mild cycle IVF. METHODS In this qualitative thematic analysis study, 17 women, and 2 partners were interviewed regarding their perceptions of ‘mild’ cycle IVF. Data were thematically analysed to identify the key aspects of participants' perceptions. RESULTS Participants reported that ‘mild’ cycle IVF offered a number of positive aspects, including the reduction in the intrusion of IVF procedures in women's lives, the short timeframe spent in awaiting the results and the way mild cycle worked with women's natural hormonal cycles. CONCLUSIONS ‘Mild’ cycle IVF was perceived positively by the participants particularly in terms of timeframes and the impact on their physical and emotional wellbeing.
