Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, undergoing IVF counselling before starting the treatment can be highly beneficial. Counselling sessions can help couples:

• Understand the emotional & psychological challenges associated with IVF
• Develop coping strategies to manage stress & anxiety
• Prepare for potential outcomes & make informed decisions
• Receive emotional support throughout the process

Counselling can improve overall well-being and increase the chances of a successful IVF outcome.

Body weight can significantly impact IVF outcomes. Both underweight and overweight/obese individuals may experience reduced success rates. Obesity can lead to hormonal imbalances, ovulation issues, and higher complication risks during the IVF process. On the other hand, being underweight can also affect ovulation and egg quality.

Maintaining a healthy body weight through a balanced diet & regular exercise can improve the chances of a successful IVF outcome.

The chances of IVF success can be influenced by underlying health conditions, such as endometriosis, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), or autoimmune disorders. These conditions can affect fertility and may require additional treatment or adjustments to the IVF protocol.

Age is a significant component that can influence the success rates of IVF treatments. Women under the age of 35 typically experience higher success rates due to a better ovarian reserve and healthier eggs. As women age, both the quantity and quality of their eggs decline, which can reduce the chances of conception and increase the risk of miscarriage. Similarly, male fertility can also be affected by age; studies suggest that men over 40 may experience reduced sperm quality, which can impact embryo development. Thus, the combined age of both partners plays a crucial role in IVF outcomes.

The chances of having multiples, such as twins, with IVF are higher compared to natural conception. This is because more than one embryo is often transferred to increase the likelihood of pregnancy. On average, the chance of twins from IVF is estimated to be around 30%. However, multiples can also occur naturally when a single fertilised egg splits into two embryos, resulting in identical twins. Fertility clinics carefully manage embryo transfers to balance success rates and minimize the risks associated with multiple pregnancies.

Genetic screening, particularly Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT), plays a vital role in improving IVF outcomes, including twin pregnancies. PGT allows specialists to screen embryos for chromosomal abnormalities before implantation. This helps identify the healthiest embryos with the highest potential for a successful pregnancy. While PGT does not directly increase the chances of twins, it ensures that if multiple embryos are transferred, they are genetically viable, thus supporting a healthy multiple pregnancy when twins occur.

Yes, achieving a successful IVF cycle is possible after multiple failures. Each cycle is unique, and various factors can contribute to the outcome. By identifying and addressing the causes of failure, making adjustments to the treatment plan, and exploring alternative options, many couples have gone on to achieve a successful pregnancy after multiple unsuccessful IVF cycles.

Seeking a second opinion from a different fertility specialist or clinic can be beneficial if you have experienced multiple failed IVF cycles. A fresh perspective and a different approach may help identify potential issues or factors that were previously overlooked. Additionally, different clinics may have varying success rates or specialised expertise that could improve your chances of success. Learn more about when to consult a new fertility specialist for second opinion after failed ivf.

While IVF is generally considered safe, undergoing multiple cycles can increase certain risks. These may include:

Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS): Repeated ovarian stimulation can increase the risk of OHSS, a potentially serious condition characterised by ovarian enlargement and fluid accumulation.
Multiple Pregnancies: The risk of multiple pregnancies (twins, triplets, etc.) increases with each IVF cycle, which can lead to complications for both the mother and babies.
Emotional and Financial Strain: Multiple IVF cycles can take a significant emotional and financial toll, leading to stress and anxiety.

Mental health is essential for the success of IVF treatments. Chronic stress, anxiety, and depression can impact fertility and IVF outcomes. Stress can affect hormone levels, ovulation, and embryo implantation. Additionally, the emotional strain of undergoing IVF can take a toll on mental well-being, further impacting the chances of success.

Undergoing multiple IVF cycles can be an isolating experience, as it can be challenging for others to understand the emotional and physical toll fully. Here are some strategies to help cope with feelings of isolation:

• Joining an online community or a support group for people going through similar experiences can provide a sense of connection and understanding.
• Communicate openly with your partner, family, and close friends about your feelings and experiences.
• Seeking counselling or therapy can provide you with a safe space to express your emotions and receive professional guidance in coping with the challenges of repeated IVF cycles.
• Prioritising self-care activities that bring you joy and relaxation—such as hobbies, exercise, or spending time in nature—can help counteract feelings of isolation and promote overall well-being.

Metabolic imaging is considered a non-invasive technique that does not involve direct manipulation or removal of embryonic cells. As such, it is generally regarded as a safe procedure with minimal risks to the embryo. However, as with any medical procedure, there may be potential risks associated with the specific imaging equipment or techniques used, which should be discussed with your doctor.

Yes, metabolic imaging is often used in conjunction with other assisted reproductive technologies and embryo assessment methods. It can complement traditional morphological evaluations, genetic testing, and other advanced techniques to provide a comprehensive assessment of embryo viability and developmental potential.

During a metabolic imaging procedure, embryos are typically cultured in a specialised medium containing specific markers or dyes that interact with their metabolic byproducts. Advanced imaging equipment, such as time-lapse incubators or confocal microscopes, is then used to capture and analyse the distribution and intensity of these markers within the embryos. The procedure itself is non-invasive and does not require any direct manipulation of the embryos. Patients may not notice any significant differences compared to standard IVF procedures.

When selecting the appropriate IVF treatment, several factors should be considered, including the patient’s age, ovarian reserve, the cause of infertility, and the desired outcome (e.g., single or multiple births). Additionally, the patient’s financial situation and the availability of fertility treatments in their local area may also influence the choice of IVF option. Patients must have open and honest discussions with their doctors to ensure they fully understand the benefits, risks, and potential outcomes of each IVF treatment option.

The duration of an IVF treatment cycle can vary and depends on the specific approach and the individual’s response to the fertility medications. Generally, a conventional IVF cycle can take approximately 4-6 weeks from the start of the menstrual cycle to the embryo transfer. However, the timeline may be shorter or longer depending on various factors, such as the patient’s response to stimulation, the number of eggs retrieved, and the time required for fertilisation and embryo development.

IVF treatments can sometimes be accompanied by various side effects, which may include:

• Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS): A condition where the ovaries become enlarged with fluid accumulation in the abdomen, which can cause discomfort and other symptoms.
• Mood Changes: Fertility medications can sometimes lead to mood swings, irritability, or depression.
• Bloating and Abdominal Discomfort: Some patients may experience bloating or discomfort in the abdominal area as the ovaries become stimulated and enlarged.
• Headaches: Some patients may experience headaches during the IVF treatment process.
• Breast Tenderness: The hormonal changes associated with IVF can cause breast tenderness or swelling.
