Objectives: To determine the incidence of spontaneous pregnancy in women who were not undergoing therapy, while waiting for their inclusion in the AZHART program. Results; The mean age of women was 30.4 years ± 4.57. 75% were primary infertility and 25% secondary infertility. the mean duration of infertility was 8.5± 4.1. Causes of infertility were 37.5% male factor, 25% female factor and 37.5% unexplained. Seven couples (43.7%) have had experienced unsuccessful previous ART attempts. Conclusion; The rather rare possibility of spontaneous conception should not be excluded in patients with unexplained infertility and mild-moderate male and female factors infertility scheduled for ART program. The impact of psychological passionate counseling for stress relief of the infertile couple could be of value in achieving pregnancy in these patients.
