The probability of becoming pregnant after one IVF treatment is about 20%. How many times it takes to become pregnant varies from person to person; some people get pregnant after one treatment, while older people in their 40s may need to try seven or eight times. According to infertility treatment statistics, the chances of pregnancy increase after the first four treatments. If you are still unable to become pregnant after five or more treatments, it is possible that you have some kind of problem with your uterus, eggs, or sperm.
Reasons why IVF doesn’t work
Problems with eggs are not the only reason why IVF does not work. Sperm may also be the cause. Our clinic emphasizes the importance of sperm testing . In our high-precision sperm testing course B , we thoroughly examine the “sperm’s performance” by testing seven items such as the degree of DNA damage of motile sperm selected to a level that can be used for IVF and ICSI, the state of the cell membrane of the head, and the ability to induce acrosome reaction. We check how
Much good sperm worthy of use in IVF and ICSI can be secured, and whether the quality of those sperm is at a level that allows pregnancy, and evaluate the current success rate of IVF, etc. from the male’s perspective.
To increase the success rate of IVF
As a result of Course B, we recommend selecting and using good sperm to increase the success rate of ICSI. ICSI, which injects one sperm into an egg, is the most rational method. However, for a safe and healthy pregnancy for both mother and child, sperm of the same quality as the sperm that can reach the egg on their own are required. This
means that the level of sperm selection that would normally occur naturally in a woman’s body must be substituted by humans. At our clinic, we artificially substitute for natural selection, selecting motile sperm that have survived selection, and processing them so that they can be brought to the women’s clinic. If the selected sperm is freeze-resistant, it is possible to “sperm bank” good sperm and undergo ART even if there are only a few sperm.
Disadvantages of repeated IVF
The biggest disadvantage is the physical burden. Needles must be inserted into the ovaries and uterine wall, and the side effects of the drugs used in IVF can also be physical. You also need to consider the IVF cost. IVF can be covered by insurance for those under 43, but there is a limit to the number of times it can be performed.
Summary
The IVF cost in Pakistan varies greatly depending on age. Therefore, it is necessary to use the limited time meaningfully. We recommend that Those who have been undergoing IVF/ICI but have not been successful, as well as those who are thinking of starting IVF, first check the “quality and ability of sperm”. Let’s proceed with treatment that suits the couple after fully understanding the quality of sperm. At our clinic, we hold a study session
once a month about the importance of sperm testing and infertility treatment . At the study session, we also provide detailed explanations about the high-precision sperm testing course B and sperm selection mentioned above. We recommend that couples who want to increase the success rate of IVF/ICI participate.
