IVF is commonly recommended for couples facing infertility due to blocked fallopian tubes, low sperm count, ovulation disorders, endometriosis, or unexplained infertility. It can also help same-sex couples or single individuals using donor eggs or sperm.

The success rate of IVF depends on factors such as the woman’s age, the quality of the eggs and sperm, and any underlying health issues. On average, the success rate ranges from 20% to 40% per cycle, with higher chances for younger women.

A single IVF cycle typically takes 4 to 6 weeks. This includes ovarian stimulation (10–14 days), egg retrieval, fertilization, embryo culture, and embryo transfer.

Common side effects include bloating, mild cramping, breast tenderness, and mood swings. In rare cases, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) can occur, causing more severe symptoms like abdominal pain and swelling.

The number of embryos transferred depends on the woman’s age, embryo quality, and previous IVF history. In younger women, one or two embryos are typically transferred to minimize the risk of multiple pregnancies.

Yes, embryos that are not transferred can be frozen and stored for future use. Frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycles often have similar success rates to fresh cycles.

The IVF process involves some discomfort, such as injections for ovarian stimulation and mild cramping during egg retrieval. However, pain is usually manageable with medication and proper care.

Transferring multiple embryos increases the chances of twins or triplets, which can lead to complications like preterm birth, low birth weight, and high blood pressure during pregnancy.

Research shows that babies born through IVF have a slightly higher risk of certain birth defects, but the overall risk remains low and comparable to natural conception. Most IVF-conceived children grow up healthy.

IVF is typically recommended for couples who have been trying to conceive for at least 12 months without success, or for individuals with specific fertility issues like blocked fallopian tubes, low sperm count, ovulation disorders, endometriosis, or unexplained infertility. A fertility specialist will assess your medical history and conduct tests to determine if IVF is suitable for you.

Key factors influencing IVF success include the woman’s age, egg and sperm quality, the health of the uterus, the cause of infertility, and the clinic’s expertise. Women under 35 generally have higher success rates than older women.

A single IVF cycle typically lasts between 4 to 6 weeks. This includes ovarian stimulation (10–14 days), egg retrieval, fertilization, embryo culture, and embryo transfer. After the transfer, a pregnancy test is usually done 10 to 14 days later.

If the first cycle fails, the doctor will analyze the reasons for the failure and adjust the treatment plan if necessary. You can usually try again after a recovery period of 1 to 2 months. Many couples achieve success after multiple attempts.

On average, it takes 2 to 3 IVF cycles for a successful pregnancy. Success rates increase with additional attempts, but some couples may need more depending on underlying fertility issues.

Yes. Maintaining a healthy weight, eating a balanced diet, reducing stress, avoiding smoking, limiting alcohol intake, and taking prenatal vitamins (like folic acid) can improve your chances of success.

During IVF, it’s important to avoid high-intensity exercise, alcohol, smoking, and caffeine. Sexual activity may also be restricted during certain stages to prevent complications like ovarian torsion.

While stress alone doesn’t directly lower success rates, high-stress levels can impact hormone balance and overall well-being. Managing stress through counseling, relaxation techniques, or support groups can be beneficial.

Yes, but transferring more than one embryo increases the risk of multiple pregnancies (twins or triplets), which can lead to pregnancy complications. Doctors often recommend transferring a single high-quality embryo, especially young women.
