Important Points to Know Before Choosing IVF

• When a couple decides to undergo IVF (in vitro
  fertilization), the next concern is the IVF
  success rate and deciding when to start IVF
  treatment.
• As we all know, IVF has limitations and the
  outcome is affected by various factors.
• Some are under our control, and some are not.

Understand The IVF Success Rate

• The success rate of IVF cycle is determined by
  the quality of the egg and sperm.
• A woman's age has the greatest influence on egg
  quality.
• The chance of having aneuploid/abnormal eggs
  increases with age, especially in the late
  thirties.
• ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) can solve
  most sperm-related problems, however,
  significantly abnormal sperm patterns can result
  in poor-quality embryos, reducing the success
  rate of IVF.
• Equally important is the number of eggs.
• According to studies, the number of eggs
  retrieved up to approximately 15 eggs promotes
  the success of IVF.

Reasons for having repeated IVF Failure

• Implantation failure may also contribute to
  10-15 of IVF failures.
• Factors include fibroids, particularly submucous
  and large intramural fibroids, adhesions within
  the uterine cavity, adenomyosis, abnormally
  swollen tubes (hydrosalpinx), endometrial polyps,
  and uterine anomalies such as the septate uterus.
  
• Few of them can have immunological dysregulation
  of the NK cells, resulting in embryo rejection.

• Choosing the best IVF stimulation protocol is
  important.
• As mentioned earlier, egg count is important.
• Patients are classified as hyper responders, norm
  responders, or poor responders based on their
  ovarian reserve tests.
• Adequate doses of gonadotrophins help the patient
  obtain an adequate number of eggs (8-15) without
  putting her at undue risk of ovarian
  hyperstimulation syndrome.
• The majority of them fit into short protocols
  that last 10-12 days, while long protocols are
  reserved for conditions such as endometriosis or
  adenomyosis.

6

• The culture conditions provided in the IVF
  laboratory are the most important factor for the
  success of IVF (in-vitro fertilization).
• A clean room with ideal levels of volatile
  organic compounds and particulate matter is
  essential.
• A strict quality assurance process is required.
• The success of an IVF program is greatly
  influenced by incubator efficiency and culture
  conditions, as well as the experience of the
  embryologist.

Frequently Asked Questions (IVF Faqs)

• What factors should I consider when selecting the
  best IVF center?
• We have seen that patients choose an IVF center
  only based on its proximity and cost of
  treatment.
• While proximity is important, the price may not
  be a true indicator of whether a clinic is good
  or bad.
• Always get a few clinic references before
  choosing one, book free online consultation with
  each clinic you've shortlisted, and then pick the
  clinic you feel most comfortable with.
• Even though one might cost a little less than the
  other, multiple failed cycles at the wrong clinic
  could prevent you from conceiving sooner, costing
  you more money overall. which could result in a
  much more expensive activity.

Why is there so much cost difference between IVF
centers in pune?

• The prices of two IVF clinics can differ
  significantly from each other due to the
  following reasons
• The medication and injections used for treatment
  have a significant impact on costs.
• Doctors may choose a more expensive injection
  over a more effective lower-cost injection
  because they do not know how to use it.
• Clinics may have ties with some medication
  companies and may promote expensive medication to
  patients to earn a commission.
• Another important consideration is the
  cost-effectiveness of the clinic.
• Clinics that cannot reduce their overhead costs
  must ultimately pass the cost burden on to their
  patients.

• As a result, the cost of the process may be
  higher than the market average.
