This retrospective observational case series aims to delineate the positive effects of ozone and NAD therapy on patients dealing with infertility. Conducted at First IVF Fertility Centre, the study examined six female patients who had previously experienced multiple IVF failures. We meticulously analyzed these cases, noting remarkable improvements following the integration of alternative therapeutic modalities, particularly ozone therapy, into their treatment regimens. Each of the six cases demonstrated a discernible positive outcome, characterized by the acquisition of euploid, transferable embryos or successful pregnancies. The findings suggest that the integration of ozone and NAD therapy can significantly benefit patients dealing with infertility. To comprehensively ascertain the impact of these alternative therapies, a rigorous evaluation, such as a randomized pilot study, is recommended. This empirical approach would empower patients and healthcare providers to make well-informed decisions regarding the potential benefits and associated risks of these innovative treatment avenues, fostering a proactive and collaborative approach to fertility care and ultimately enhancing patient outcomes.
