When Should a Couple Consider IVF Treatment?
Couples may be advised to consider In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) in the following situations:
- Trying to conceive for 1+ year without success (6 months if the woman is over 35)
- Blocked or damaged fallopian tubes, making natural fertilization difficult
- Severe male factor infertility, such as very low sperm count or motility
- Endometriosis, affecting the uterus and fallopian tubes
- Ovulation disorders unresponsive to simpler treatments
- Genetic disorders, where embryo screening (PGT) may be needed
- Failed IUI or other fertility treatments
- Unexplained infertility, despite normal test results
- Fertility preservation, such as embryo freezing before cancer treatment
- Advanced maternal age, where egg quality may be lower
If you’re facing any of these challenges, IVF may offer a higher chance of success.
Consult a fertility expert to see if IVF is right for you.
