Frequently Asked Questions
Fertility refers to the ability to conceive and reproduce. It involves both the male and female reproductive systems functioning optimally.
IVF is a fertility treatment where eggs are retrieved from the ovaries and fertilized with sperm in a laboratory. The resulting embryos are then transferred to the uterus.
IUI is a fertility treatment where sperm is directly inserted into the uterus during ovulation to increase the chances of fertilization.
IVF is often recommended for couples with infertility due to factors such as blocked fallopian tubes, low sperm count, or advanced maternal age. IUI is usually recommended for couples with mild fertility issues or unexplained infertility.
Success rates vary depending on factors such as age, cause of infertility, and the clinics expertise. On average, IVF success rates range from 50% to 70% per cycle, while IUI success rates range from 400% to 70% per cycle.
Both IVF and IUI carry some risks, including multiple pregnancies, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), and ectopic pregnancy. However, these risks are relatively low and can be managed with proper medical care.
The number of cycles needed varies for each individual or couple and depends on factors such as age, fertility diagnosis, and response to treatment. On average, couples may undergo 2-3 cycles of IVF or IUI before achieving a successful pregnancy.
Factors to consider include the clinics success rates, the expertise of the medical team, the range of services offered, the quality of patient care, and the clinics reputation.
