01What is fertility treatment?

The first step typically involves a consultation and fertility evaluation. This may include tests for both partners, such as semen analysis, blood tests, ultrasounds, and hysterosalpingography (HSG) to assess the reproductive system.

Fertility treatment may be considered if a couple has been trying to conceive for more than 12 months without success, or if there are known fertility issues such as blocked fallopian tubes, male infertility, or ovulation disorders.

The timeline varies depending on the type of treatment and individual circumstances. Some treatments like IUI can take a few months, while more advanced procedures like IVF may take several weeks for each cycle.

The cost of fertility treatment varies greatly depending on the type of treatment and clinic. IVF tends to be more expensive, whereas simpler procedures like IUI are more affordable. Costs may also include medications, tests, and consultations. Cost of an IVF Cycle could cost as low as Rs. 80,000 and as high as Rs. 2,00,000 depending on the Doctor’s Experience, Quality of Equipments, Success rate etc.

Success rates depend on various factors, including the treatment method, age, cause of infertility, and overall health. For example, IVF success rates are around 40-45% for women under 35, with success decreasing as age increases.

IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) involves fertilizing the egg outside the body, while IUI (Intrauterine Insemination) involves placing sperm directly into the uterus to improve the chances of fertilization.

Several factors can impact fertility, including age, ovulation, sperm quality, lifestyle habits (e.g., diet, exercise, smoking), and underlying health conditions such as PCOS or endometriosis.
An IVF cycle typically takes 4-6 weeks from ovarian stimulation to embryo transfer. However, the timeline can vary depending on individual treatment protocols and responses to medication.
Risks can include ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), multiple pregnancies, infection, and emotional stress. However, fertility specialists take steps to mitigate these risks, such as careful monitoring throughout the cycle.

Yes, fertility treatments such as IVF or IUI can help women with endometriosis achieve pregnancy. Endometriosis may affect egg quality or fallopian tube function, but treatments can bypass these issues.

Yes, treatments like ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) can help men with low sperm count or poor sperm quality. In ICSI, a single sperm is directly injected into the egg, increasing the chances of fertilization.

Yes, women with PCOS can benefit from treatments like IUI or IVF. Medication may be used to stimulate ovulation, and assisted reproductive technologies can help increase the chances of conception.
Your fertility specialist will evaluate your specific case, perform diagnostic tests, and recommend the best treatment plan based on your medical history, age, and fertility issues.
IVF is not typically painful, but some steps (like egg retrieval or injection of medications) may cause discomfort. Your fertility doctor will discuss pain management options to ensure your comfort.

Yes, IVF can help women with a history of recurrent miscarriages, especially if the cause is related to issues with egg quality, sperm quality, or implantation. Genetic screening (PGT) may also be performed.

Genetic screening, like PGT-A or PGD, involves testing embryos for genetic disorders before implantation, which can help reduce the risk of passing on inherited conditions or improve the chances of a healthy pregnancy.

It is recommended to adopt a healthy lifestyle, including maintaining a healthy weight, eating a balanced diet, exercising, and avoiding smoking or excessive alcohol. Stress management can also improve overall fertility.
Ovarian stimulation is the process of using fertility medications to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs, which can be retrieved and fertilized to create embryos for transfer.
While natural pregnancy after menopause is not possible, egg or embryo donation can allow women to carry a pregnancy after menopause through IVF with a donated egg.
Genetic testing, such as Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidies (PGT-A), can screen embryos for chromosomal abnormalities. This increases the chances of selecting a healthy embryo for transfer, reducing the risk of miscarriage and improving pregnancy success rates. Genetic testing is particularly beneficial for women over 35, couples with a history of recurrent miscarriages, or those with known genetic disorders.
IVF is expensive due to the advanced medical technology, specialized expertise, and multiple procedures involved, including medications, lab work, and embryo culture. Pricing differences between clinics can result from variations in location, lab quality, equipment, success rates, and the inclusion of additional services like genetic testing or embryo freezing.
Miscarriages after an IVF procedure can occur due to several underlying reasons, many of which are similar to those in natural conception. One of the most common causes is chromosomal abnormalities in the embryo, which may prevent it from developing properly. Uterine issues, such as fibroids, polyps, or scarring, can also interfere with the embryo’s implantation or growth. Hormonal imbalances, such as insufficient levels of progesterone, may fail to support the pregnancy. Additionally, immune system disorders can sometimes lead to the body rejecting the embryo. Maternal factors, such as advanced age, chronic medical conditions (like diabetes or thyroid disorders), or lifestyle factors (like smoking or excessive stress), can also increase the risk. While miscarriages can be emotionally devastating, thorough diagnostic tests and tailored care plans can help identify and address these issues, improving the chances of a successful pregnancy in subsequent attempts.
Body weight plays a critical role in fertility. Women who are underweight or overweight may experience hormonal imbalances, irregular ovulation, or lower egg quality. Men may also face reduced sperm count or motility. Achieving a healthy weight through diet and exercise can improve fertility outcomes and increase the chances of success with treatments like IVF or IUI.
Failed IVF cycles can be caused by a variety of factors, each unique to the individual undergoing treatment. One common reason is the poor quality of eggs or sperm, which can result in embryos that are not viable for implantation. Chromosomal abnormalities in the embryos are another significant factor, often leading to implantation failure or early miscarriage. Uterine conditions, such as a thin endometrial lining, fibroids, or scar tissue, can also hinder the embryo from successfully attaching to the uterus. Additionally, suboptimal embryo transfer techniques or timing issues during the procedure may reduce success rates. Lifestyle factors, such as smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, or chronic stress, can negatively impact the treatment outcome. Lastly, undiagnosed medical conditions like endometriosis, hormonal imbalances, or immune disorders can interfere with the process. A thorough assessment by a fertility specialist can help pinpoint the cause and tailor the next treatment cycle for better results.
