Frequently Asked Questions

At Ferty9, we understand the emotional devastation that can accompany a failed IVF cycle. Our counseling approach after a failed IVF cycle involves the following steps:

• Providing a safe space
• Exploring reasons for treatment failure
• Emotional support and discussing coping strategies
• Evaluating the readiness of the couple
• Discussing next steps
• Strengthening relationships among the couples

ICSI involves injecting a single sperm directly into an egg to facilitate fertilization, whereas regular IVF allows sperm to fertilize the egg naturally in a lab dish. ICSI is particularly beneficial for male infertility issues, such as low sperm count or poor motility.

Emerging research suggests that incorporating the right types of physical activities into your lifestyle can positively impact fertility and enhance the overall success of the IVF process. Exercise helps regulate hormones, improve blood circulation, and promote both physical and mental well-being.

High-intensity workouts are generally not recommended during the IVF cycle. Strenuous activities can stress the body and potentially disrupt the hormonal balance necessary for IVF success. It’s better to engage in low-impact exercises like walking, stretching, or prenatal yoga.

Participating in sports or high-impact activities during IVF treatment is usually discouraged, as they can increase the risk of injury and interfere with the IVF process. Low-impact activities such as swimming, walking, or gentle yoga are safer options that support the body during treatment.

In addition to appropriate physical activity, lifestyle changes that may improve IVF success include:

• Eating a balanced, fertility-supportive diet
• Reducing stress through relaxation methods like meditation or mindfulness
• Ensuring adequate sleep and rest
• Avoiding or limiting alcohol, tobacco, and caffeine
• Managing any underlying health conditions that could affect fertility

Yes, a common myth is that high-intensity workouts boost IVF success rates, which isn’t true—strenuous workouts can actually hinder the process. Another myth is that exercise should be completely avoided during IVF. In reality, light to moderate low-impact activities can support your physical and emotional well-being during treatment.

Yes, consulting a fertility specialist for IVF is essential. They evaluate your reproductive health, recommend suitable treatment protocols, and monitor the entire process. Their expertise ensures personalized care and enhances the chances of a successful pregnancy.

An ideal IVF clinic should offer state-of-the-art laboratory facilities, experienced fertility experts, and a wide range of diagnostic and treatment services. Look for clinics that provide individualized care, emotional support, and a high success rate. Ferty9 is one such clinic known for its advanced technology and holistic support.

Yes, PCOS can affect fertility treatments like in vitro fertilization (IVF). Women with PCOS may have a higher risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) and may experience challenges related to egg quality. However, with personalized treatment plans and close clinical supervision, successful outcomes with IVF are achievable for women with PCOS.

కారణం తెలియని వంధ్యత్వానికి IVF యొక్క విజయ రేట్లు అందరికీ ఒకేలా ఉండవు. ఆరోగ్యకరమైన అండాశయ నిల్వ ఉన్న ఇతర మహిళలకు IVF ఎంత విజయవంతమవుతుందో, దీనికి కూడా దాదాపు అంతే ఫలితాలు ఉండవచ్చు. అయితే, మీ వయస్సు మరియు మీ ఇద్దరి ఆరోగ్య పరిస్థితిని బట్టి ఈ విజయ రేట్లు మారుతూ ఉంటాయి. సాధారణంగా, ఒక ప్రయత్నానికి 40 నుండి 50 శాతం వరకు గర్భం వచ్చే అవకాశం ఉంటుంది. ఒకసారి కాకపోతే, మళ్లీ ప్రయత్నించడం ద్వారా మొత్తం విజయం సాధించే అవకాశం ఇంకా ఎక్కువగా ఉంటుంది.

The costs associated with genetic testing before IVF can vary and depend on the type of testing performed. It can range from the cost of basic genetic screening tests to more comprehensive tests like PGT, which may add additional costs for specialized care.

Yes, frozen eggs can be used for IVF (in vitro fertilization) at a later time. When a woman decides to attempt pregnancy, the frozen eggs are thawed, fertilized with sperm in a laboratory, and the resulting embryos are transferred to the uterus. This process allows women to preserve their fertility and potentially conceive at a more convenient or appropriate time in their lives.

Success rates with cryopreserved embryos or eggs in IVF are generally high. Advances in freezing techniques, such as vitrification, have improved survival rates after thawing and increased the likelihood of successful implantation and pregnancy. Many couples benefit from this option when planning delayed parenthood or undergoing fertility treatment.

Exercise can support hormonal regulation, especially hormones associated with ovulation and the menstrual cycle. By promoting hormonal balance, exercise may enhance fertility and improve the success rate of IVF treatments.

Yes, in vitro fertilization (IVF) can help women with infertility caused by uterine tuberculosis (TB), especially when the damage to the reproductive organs—especially fallopian tubes—is extensive and cannot be easily addressed with medicine or surgery.

BBT monitoring cannot accurately predict ovulation during IVF treatment because the medications used alter natural temperature patterns. Doctors rely on blood tests and ultrasound monitoring to track follicular development and determine the optimal timing for egg retrieval.

IVF medications significantly impact temperature patterns in several ways:

• Stimulation drugs can elevate baseline temperatures
• Progesterone supplements cause sustained temperature increases
• Trigger shots create temporary temperature spikes
• Support medications may mask natural patterns

While BBT tracking is not essential during IVF, some patients find it helpful for understanding their body’s response to treatment. Doctors focus primarily on other monitoring methods, such as blood tests and ultrasounds, for treatment decisions.

For some patients, temperature tracking provides a sense of control and involvement in their treatment. However, others may find it adds unnecessary anxiety. Doctors recommend discussing individual preferences with the healthcare team to determine if BBT monitoring would be beneficial.

Managing stress is crucial during the IVF process, as elevated levels of stress can disrupt the delicate hormonal balance required for ovulation and embryo implantation, potentially reducing the chances of a successful pregnancy. Additionally, stress can take a toll on an individual’s emotional and physical well-being, making it more challenging to cope with the demands of fertility treatments.

Some common signs that you might benefit from IVF counselling include:

• Experiencing overwhelming feelings of anxiety, sadness, or frustration
• Struggling to cope with the emotional ups and downs of the IVF process
• Feeling isolated or unsupported
• Experiencing relationship strain or communication issues with your partner
• Difficulty managing stress or developing healthy coping mechanisms

Absolutely. Counselling can provide a safe and supportive ecosystem where one can express their feelings and concerns without fear of judgment. A skilled counsellor can help you develop strategies for building a support network and fostering connections with others who understand the unique challenges of the IVF journey.

While fertility specialists are primarily responsible for the medical aspects of IVF treatment, they can also play a crucial role in managing stress. Many fertility clinics have counsellors on staff or can refer to mental health professionals who specialise in fertility-related issues. Your fertility specialist can also offer guidance on stress management methods and resources to support your emotional well-being throughout the process.

Fertility specialists recommend conducting a sperm DNA fragmentation test before starting IVF treatment and monitoring changes every three months if initial results show concerns. This timeline aligns with the natural sperm production cycle and allows for the assessment of improvement strategies.
