Myths about IVF ! Pregnancy is a dream for many couples. Assisted reproductive technologies (IVF, IUI, etc.) have been more useful for many couples who are unable to conceive naturally. Moreover, millions of couples have benefited from in vitro fertilisation (IVF) to start the family of their dreams. You must have heard some myths about IVF treatment from your neighbours, if you have begun IVF treatment or preparing to undergo your first IVF cycle. In this article, we have addressed some common myths about like IVF cost and whether IVF is painful..? Let us have a look on it.
Myth-Can fertility drugs cause cancer?
Fact-You must have to take medications to stimulate ovulation and the production of numerous eggs in the IVF process, but don’t worry—they are harmless. No studies have discovered an increased risk of cancer in the years after IVF.
Myth- Female infertility is the only reason for IVF.
The biggest misconception among many of us is that females alone experience infertility. But it’s not correct. Both men and women experience infertility issues.
Myth-An IVF baby has a higher chance of having birth defects
The risk of congenital birth abnormalities is not increased by the IVF technique in newborn babies. Moreover, there is no difference between the congenital abilities of the babies born through IVF treatment and the babies born through natural conception.
Myth- IVF treatment is costly
A lot of people believe that IVF treatment is unaffordable. No, the IVF procedure at our clinic is transparent and reasonably priced. We provide the best treatment and personalised care with the best medical team.
Myth: IVF results in multiple births.
Although multiple births are frequently seen during IVF treatment, advanced ART procedures can be employed for an elective single embryo transfer.
Myth: Complete bed rest is needed for IVF
Pregnancy resulting from IVF does not require any additional care than that of a normal pregnancy. You need not have to stay in bed all day following the embryo transfer in the IVF process. However, taking a certain amount of caution is advised, such as avoiding lifting large objects, sudden movements should be avoided so avoid public transport / two-wheelers. Additionally, avoid overworking yourself.
Myth: IVF is never successful on the first try
The age of the woman, the quality of the eggs and sperm, and the subsequent embryos produced are some of the factors which influence the success rate of IVF.
