  1. COMMON MYTHS ABOUT IVF: SEPARATING FACT FROM FICTION

  2. MYTH 1: IVF IS THE FIRST STEP FOR ALL INFERTILITY CASES: While IVF has proven to be a successful treatment option for many couples, it is not the first step for everyone. Infertility is a complex issue with various underlying causes. Before recommending IVF, fertility specialists conduct a thorough evaluation to identify the root cause. Depending on the diagnosis, less invasive treatments such as fertility medications, intrauterine insemination (IUI), or lifestyle changes may be suggested initially. IVF is typically recommended when other options have been exhausted or if there are specific fertility challenges, such as blocked fallopian tubes or severe male factor infertility.

  3. MYTH 2: IVF ALWAYS RESULTS IN MULTIPLE PREGNANCIES: While it is true that IVF can increase the chances of multiple pregnancies, advances in technology and improved protocols have significantly reduced this risk. Fertility clinics today have the expertise to carefully monitor and control the number of embryos transferred during IVF. In many cases, a single embryo transfer is recommended to minimise the chances of multiple pregnancies while still achieving a successful outcome. This approach not only ensures the health and safety of the mother and babies but also increases the overall success rates of IVF.

  4. MYTH 3: IVF GUARANTEES A SUCCESSFUL PREGNANCY: While IVF has revolutionised the field of reproductive medicine, it is important to note that success rates vary depending on several factors, including age, overall health, and the specific fertility issues being addressed. The success rates of IVF are influenced by various variables, such as the quality of the eggs and sperm, the expertise of the fertility clinic, and the individual’s response to treatment. It is essential to have realistic expectations and consult with a fertility specialist who can provide accurate information about your unique circumstances.
