This guide will help understand the reasons for choosing IVF procedure as the first fertility treatment.

IVF is currently the most effective fertility treatment for addressing the issue of infertility. The procedure is very precise and controlled in which the egg growth is stimulated, followed by egg retrieval procedure, fertilization, and embryo transfer.

When a patient visits the IVF centre they often ask whether this treatment should be their first option to address the problem. Our IVF doctor has shared top reasons which will help you know why this should be your first choice.

IVF Procedure: First Fertility Treatment

 

  • Couples without infertility treatment insurance coverage, early In-Vitro will be cost-effective

 

Around 90 percent of women who used Clomid with IUI can conceive within 3 cycles. For younger patients, it is best to undergo the treatment after Clomid with IUI 2 or 3 unsuccessful cycles.

 

  • In-Vitro is more successful as compared to ovulation induction with IUI

 

In many cases, the couple chooses Femara or Clomid with IUI. In such cases, per cycle, the pregnancy rate is around 12%. Women who are under the age of 35 undergoing single embryo transfer can expect the implantation rate up to 55 percent.

One of the studies has shown that women of 38 to 42 age who have good quality egg and prefer to choose this treatment will be cost-effective and there are high chances of success.

 

  • For younger women, the identical twin rate is less

 

Women below 35, would have single embryo transfer in the In-Vitro cycle. With Ivf pregnancy, the identical twinning is around 2% whereas in the case of Clomid pregnancy it is around 8%.

If any point you have doubts, make sure to talk to your fertility doctor. Keep in mind that every patient is different and the reason for infertility also. So, your doctor is the right person to give you the right information so that the entire treatment goes smoothly.

 

  • For the women of age 42, the implantation rate is around 65%

 

At times, women think that with age it might be difficult to get successful results. But, this technology has advanced a lot which also improves the success chances in many cases as compared to other treatment options.

In the same manner, for women of 42 age, the implantation rate is 65%. In this case, the embryo biopsy is performed along with CCS (Comprehensive chromosomal Screening) and transfers the single normal embryo to improve the success chances. This means the need to transfer multiple embryos in older women is eliminated due to chromosome screening.

 

  • Undergoing the treatment gives the option to freeze additional embryos

 

Studies have shown that the option of frozen embryos is likely to increase the conception chances like fresh embryos. Once the embryos are frozen they won’t age. Like if the embryos are frozen at the age of 30 and with age the risk factor also increases. But, if you plan to get pregnant later in life then the embryos can be thawed and transferred.

So, this is clear that considering IVF treatment as the first option is helpful in different ways. To know more, schedule your consultation with the fertility specialist
