Looking at Your Fertility Issues
Before you begin IVF with MCRM Fertility, our doctors will have you undergo some standard testing. They will collect information that will give them a better idea of the problem behind your infertility, and will determine the best method to help improve your chances of conceiving.
Success Rates for IVF
It’s normal for IVF to not work immediately. The fact that other women suffer the same challenges and go on to have successful pregnancies should give you hope! SART data that over 50% of women, younger than 35, have a live birth. Of these births. The numbers decrease as women age.
Why IVF May Not Work the First Time
Several reasons exist why an IVF treatment isn’t successful the first time. Embryo quality may be poor, which can be caused by either the egg or sperm quality. In many cases, the embryo won’t implant if it isn’t viable.
Unexplained failure can also occur, so don’t feel defeated if there is no identifiable reason. Failure with a treatment doesn’t mean it’s impossible for the patient to conceive at all. The IVF specialists at MCRM Fertility will work with you to determine the next steps to help you with your goal of having a child of your own.
IVF Options
Donor Eggs
If treatment failure is due to poor egg quality, you may want to consider donor eggs. As women age, their eggs decrease in quality, which makes it more difficult for them to fertilize. MCRM Fertility works with patients who choose to use their own eggs or a donor egg.
Assisted “Hatching”
IVF treatment involves multiple steps, some of which may help increase your chances of success. Your doctor may choose to add one or more in subsequent treatments if the first one fails. For instance, assisted hatching can help the embryo attach to the uterine wall by making a small hole in the outer covering. Assisted hatching is standard with IVF at MCRM Fertility.
Sperm Donation
If the issue is with the quality of sperm, another option is sperm donation. Before you go that route, you may want to consider the various processes that IVF specialists at MCRM Fertility use to find the highest quality sperm to attach to the egg. These processes increase the likelihood that only the best sperm will be chosen for the egg.
