Understanding IVF treatment and its Success Rate

In an ideal world, everyone who wants to get pregnant should be able to get pregnant. When ovulation occurs, the presence of sperm within the uterus should improve your chances of getting pregnant – and therefore, create the miracle of life.

However, the world in which we live is not always ideal – and sometimes, we might not be able to get pregnant, regardless of the efforts or the day when we are trying to conceive. Every step seems fruitless – and every time, we are getting more depressed, knowing that our chances are growing slimmer with each passing month.

In the past, there was nothing we could have done about it. If you couldn’t get pregnant, that was pretty much the end of it. However, you can use artificial reproductive techniques (ART), and IVF is an essential aspect of ART.

Medicine today allows us to get pregnant – giving women who tried and failed a higher chance to experience the joy of having their own family.

If you have difficulties conceiving a child, some infertility issues might affect you or your partner. Some might have occurred over time – whereas others might be because of a specific genetic condition. You might have to follow a different medical treatment based on the reason. Here are the leading causes of infertility.

Here are the main causes of infertility.

Fallopian Tube Obstructions: If one or both of your fallopian tubes are damaged, then it might be impossible for the egg to become fertilized. On the off chance that the egg does manage to get fertilized, it is unlikely that it will succeed the trip through the fallopian tube and into your uterus.

Premature Ovarian Failure: Also referred to as “early menopause,” this is when your ovarian functions stop before you reach 40. Because of this, the estrogen production is reduced, the eggs won’t be released – and your fertility will, therefore, be reduced.

Low Ovulation: If you have an ovulation disorder, the presence of eggs will be prevented. Without this, fertilization would not occur.

Endometriosis: This is a condition where your uterine tissue starts growing outside the lines of your actual uterus. Because of this, the functions of your reproductive organs might be affected.

Unhealthy Sperm: Men can also be the reason why infertility can occur. If the sperm count is low, the motility is weak, or it has an odd size or shape, it might be rather tricky for the couple to get pregnant.

Genetic Disorders: Sometimes, the cause of your inability to get pregnant has been passed down through generations. If you suspect or know that your problem is genetic causes, IVF can provide a pre-implantation genetic diagnosis before the embryo transfers to the uterus. This way, the embryo will be screened for any genetic problems – and if they find traces, they will not be used. 

IVF success rate will depend on maternal age, reproductive history, infertility cause, and other lifestyle factors. After an initial consultation, you will receive an approximate of your chances most of the time. Bear in mind that even if implantation occurs, you will have to keep in close contact with your doctor and receive continued guidance and treatment.
