Is IVF beneficial for me? Who can benefit from IVF?

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is a fertility treatment that can benefit individuals and couples facing various reproductive challenges. Here are some scenarios in which IVF may be recommended:

1. Female Infertility:

   1. Women with blocked or damaged fallopian tubes.

   2. Women with ovulation disorders.

   3. Women with endometriosis affecting fertility.

2. Male Infertility:

   1. Men with low sperm count or poor sperm motility.

   2. Men with genetic conditions affecting fertility.

3. Unexplained Infertility:

   • Couples who have undergone extensive fertility testing without a clear cause for infertility.

4. Recurrent Pregnancy Loss:

   • Couples experiencing repeated miscarriages.

5. Age-Related Infertility:

   • Women of advanced maternal age, as fertility tends to decline with age.

6. Same-Sex Couples:

   • Same-sex couples, especially those where both partners are biologically unable to conceive.

7. Single Individuals:

   • Individuals who want to pursue parenthood without a partner.

8. Genetic Concerns:

   • Couples with a history of genetic disorders who may benefit from pre-implantation genetic testing (PGT) during IVF.

9. Preservation of Fertility:

   • Individuals facing medical treatments (such as chemotherapy) that may impact fertility may choose to undergo IVF for egg or sperm preservation before treatment.

10. Surrogacy:

    • Couples or individuals who are unable to carry a pregnancy to term may opt for gestational surrogacy, where the embryo is implanted into a surrogate’s uterus.

Decision to pursue IVF is typically made in consultation with fertility specialists who assess the specific circumstances and provide personalised recommendations based on the underlying causes of infertility.
