Can IVF lead to Ectopic Pregnancy? - Dr. Sumana Gurunath

"In IVF cases, embryos are injected into the uterine cavity and one or more embryos can be sucked back into the Fallopian tubes. In such cases, treatment is the same as a naturally occurring ectopic pregnancy"

Does IVF increase the chances of twins? - Dr. Sumana Gurunath

"Number of pregnancies that you get during the IVF treatment, twins or triplets, depends on the number of embryos that are transferred. Reducing the number of embryos reduces the chances of multiple pregnancies"

How In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) works - Dr. Sumana Gurunath

"IVF comprises of four steps: 1. Ovulation Stimulation 2. Egg Retrieval 3. Fertilization 4. Embryo Transfer During in vitro fertilization (IVF), eggs and sperm are brought together in a laboratory glass dish to allow the sperm to fertilize an egg. With IVF, you can use any combination of your own eggs and sperm and donor eggs and sperm. After IVF, one or more fertilized eggs are placed in the uterus of the woman for further development of the fertilized egg into a foetus"

How many embryos should be transferred in IVF? - Dr. Sumana Gurunath

"It’s a misconception that the more the number embryos, more the chances of getting pregnant. If more than three embryos are transferred, then pregnancy rate does increase, but it is at the cost of multiple pregnancies. Multiple pregnancies are not encouraged much in IVF procedure, one healthy baby is what is aimed. Transferring more embryos also increases the risk of miscarriage, pre-mature birth, and weak health of the baby. It’s preferred to transfer one or two embryos"

How successful is In Vitro Fertilization? - Dr. Sumana Gurunath

"IVF success depends on many factors. Some of them are: 1. Age of the woman 2. Duration for which the couple has been trying to conceive 3. How many eggs you get in your IVF cycle 4. Quality of the embryos that is generated in IVF Lifestyle factors such as smoking, obesity, alcohol, stress also impact the chances of pregnancy in IVF. While younger women have higher chances of IVF success, factors that reduce the chances of IVF success include being an older woman with fewer eggs as well as the lower quality of an older woman's eggs. In fact, the live birth IVF success rate for women under 35 who start an IVF cycle is 40 percent"

Risks of In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) - Dr. Sumana Gurunath

"A few associated risks of IVF are: 1. Ovarian hyper stimulation which must be prevented by the fertility specialist 2. Miscarriages 3. Risk of Ectopic pregnancy"

Other names for In Vitro Fertilization IVF - Dr. Sumana Gurunath

"IVF is colloquially known as test tube baby. Another term that is used to refer to IVF is ART or Assisted reproductive technology"

What if the woman does not produce healthy eggs for IVF? - Dr. Sumana Gurunath

"Healthy eggs in the woman, healthy sperm from the male partner and a healthy uterus are required to achieve success in IVF. If any of these are weak, then the success of IVF becomes difficult"

What does the IVF procedure involve? Dr. Sumana Gurunath

"IVF is the most successful treatment available for fertility. IVF is the process of fertilization by extracting eggs from the woman, retrieving a sperm sample from the male partner, and then manually combining an egg and the sperm in a laboratory dish. The embryo(s) is then transferred to the uterus for development"

Who needs to go for In Vitro Fertilization? Dr. Sumana Gurunath

"VF is the most successful treatment available for fertility today. However, it is an expensive treatment. IVF is suggested in the following situations: 1. When a women has closed or blocked tubes 2. When a man has low sperm count 3. If a couple is unable to conceive naturally for more than two years 4. When there is a male and female age factor where either or both partners are older 5. When the female partner is not able to carry a pregnancy to term and and has to opt for surrogacy"
