If you want to increase your chances of conceiving during IVF, here are 8 tips that are sure to help you:
Managing your weight is extremely important for fertility and IVF. If you are obese (BMI > 35) or underweight (BMI < 19) conception time doubles. Also, it can negatively affect IVF success rates.
If you are overweight, it makes monitoring the ovaries during IVF more challenging. It also increases the chances of problems during egg retrievals.
However, you can maintain your weight with changes in diet and activity. Work with a dietitian, and enrol in a cardiometabolic weight reduction program. It can help you bring your weight to normal.
Use multivitamins and maintain optimal body weight. Furthermore, using boxers over briefs can also improve sperm quality. Under proper medical care, you can also take medications that can assist in increasing sperm count and quality. This can have a beneficial effect on IVF results.
In some cases, sperm taken directly from your testicle over ejaculation can also be beneficial. So, involve a male infertility specialist for any abnormalities, because a semen analysis is necessary.
If you want to pick an excellent IVF specialist, remember:
Your doctor will assist and guide you on this very emotional journey. It is crucial for you to feel heard and supported. Ask for recommendations from your friends and family. They know you best and can help guide you to a knowledgeable physician. Also, the IVF centre must be well equipped with the latest technology required for successful IVF.
However, be sure to do your research.
Stress levels can affect natural and assisted conception rates. Reducing your stress during an IVF cycle can be a challenging thing to achieve for most couples. Several reports have shown improvement of pregnancy results using acupuncture and other relaxing techniques. You can also enrol in mind-body programs, resilience training and stress reduction workshops.
IVF success significantly reduces due to smoking because it affects egg and sperm quality.
However, you do not have to do it by yourself.
Trying to quit smoking is not an easy task and requires a lot of personal as well as professional help. Try the help of your friends and family to encourage you in this process.
To quit smoking, pharmacological assistance and structured programs have proven to be very successful.
Supplements like DHEA and CoQ10 have shown some promise in increasing egg quantity and quality. So, talk to your doctor and check if they recommend them for you. Taking multivitamins can also be helpful.
More than 40% of people are deficient in vitamin D. There is also research data on its link with infertility and worse IVF results. Consult your doctor and check your vitamin D level if it is less consider taking a vitamin D supplement.
You might require more than one IVF cycle to achieve an embryo for transfer. These outcomes may differ significantly from cycle to cycle. If your first cycle was not successful, your doctor might adjust the medications to make the next one better.
Sometimes, you have to keep at it. Try not to be discouraged or feel upset by negative outcomes and setbacks. You are doing your best, and the results will show very soon.
Remember, this condition is mostly out of your control. It is true nobody likes a lack of control; however, letting go can help you in enduring the journey.
Take care of yourself and do not blame yourself when things do not go well. Also, you are not alone; very often, it takes a village to build a family.
Follow the tips mentioned above to get a better outcome from your IVF treatment. Consult your specialist if you have any problems. And all things will surely end up well.
FET is one of the most sought-after fertility treatments at our IVF centre in Ahmedabad for its high success rate and low cost. It involves thawing the embryos from the previous IVF cycle and transferring them to the uterus. The women do not have to undergo ovarian stimulation or egg retrieval during this procedure.
ICSI is an advanced version of IVF, wherein the sperm is directly injected into the egg to ensure fertilization. Our fertility specialist recommends it to couples suffering from male infertility or recurrent IVF failure.
IVF is one of our centre’s most popular fertility treatments. It is a boon for people who cannot conceive naturally. In this procedure, the eggs and the sperm are fertilized outside the body in the lab, and the resultant embryo is transferred to the woman’s uterus.
Now it is possible to preserve your sperm and eggs for later use. With the help of cryopreservation, the eggs and sperm are stored at low temperatures to maintain their viability. This advanced technique is a blessing for people who have to delay having children due to medical or other reasons.
