MOST COMMON QUESTIONS ASKED BY IVF PATIENTS

MOST COMMON QUESTIONS ASKED BY IVF PATIENTS


1.      Can any couple suffer from infertility conceive??

Yes, with the advance in technology every couple will conceive. Irrespective of their age and the problem that have caused their infertility. Even post menopausal women can conceive. Women having PCOD, endometriosis, irregular menses, tubal block, fibroids, adhesions, polyps, no menses at all, heavy bleeding during menses all will conceive with proper guidance and treatment. Even couples who are challenged with male factor infertility like low sperm count, low sperm motility, abnormal form of sperms, no sperm seen in semen, etc. will have a complete family if given proper treatment and guidance regarding the technique that has to be used.

2.      How much time will a couple take to conceive once the treatment has started??

Generally, any couple should conceive within 3 to 5 months of treatment. If that has not happened then the patient either needs to change their treatment plan or do advanced investigations or advanced treatments or take a second opinion from an infertility expert.

3.      What is the concept of failure analysis??

If a couple has been given a specific treatment and has yet not conceived, they need to do a failure analysis, i.e. analyze if there is some issue in the treatment protocol or if some minute details are missed from the patient files or we need to change her treatment plan completely. Failure analysis is finding out why this patient isn’t conceiving in spite of taking treatment. There are certain factors that determine IVF success and we need to see if all these factors were taken care of while that patient was treated for infertility. With the speed in which reproductive medicine is growing, and research is being done all over the world, there is no patient who will not conceive.

4.      What are the various treatment options for a couple??

In a broad view, infertility treatments can be divided into 2 parts:

1.      In VIVO fertilization (fusion of sperm and oocyte  happens in the body)
-          Planned relation: Advising a couple to keep planed relations when the follicle ruptures simple based on cycle dates & ovulation kit.
-          Follicular study: Follicular study is the monitoring of the follicular growth over the ultrasound and deciding the dates for planned relations post rupture of the follicles. Along with the follicular growth, the endometrial thickness is measured.
-          Follicular study with IUI: Follicular growth is monitored, followed by intra uterine insemination. i.e husband semen sample is washed and washed sperms are them inseminated in the uterus near the tube openings.

2.      IN – VITRO FERTILIZATION:
This means fertilization occurs outside the human body. In this case the oocytes from the female partner and the sperms from the male are processed outside the body, in an embryology lab. There are different techniques of fertilizing the sperm and ova. Based on the couples reason of infertility. The success rate of In-Vitro fertilization treatments is much higher than in vivo fertilization in sub fertile or infertile patients.

5.      How do these techniques help in achieving pregnancy??
Let’s take the example of a couple having male factor infertility and husband has all dead sperms (this means that the patient has all sperms that are non-motile) in such case, a lab technique called ICSI is used, where the sperm is lifted with a pipette and injected in the oocyte. This embryo is formed, which is then placed in the uterus and the couple will conceive. There are various techniques in an embryology lab that can help couples conceive , and deliver a healthy  baby.

6.      What is the motto of JIVF ??
Jilla’s IVF believes that there is a reason behind every infertile case and we will find that reason treat is and there no couple that will remain childless.

7.      How do we choose the best doctor for treatment??
A lot of patients ask me, how do we choose the best doctor for IVF , “ I always reply don’t choose a good doctor, choose a good lab”.  It is an embryology or an andrology lab that will process the embryos for IVF and semen for IUI. Couples should be confident of the lab and one way to know about a lab is by knowing their success rate. Knowing how many patients were treated an how many have conceived.
Talking to their patients, confident labs will generally have their patient testimonials and their phone numbers. Patients can also get an idea of how their file is being studied. I also believe that it is very important for patients to ask why have I not conceived yet. ? How is this treatment different than the one I have taken?
