1. IVF Is Just for Women with Blocked Fallopian Tubes
IVF can help women with blocked fallopian tubes conceive, but it is used to treat a variety of fertility issues. IVF may be recommended for couples with problems like low sperm count, endometriosis, unexplained infertility, or fertility related to age. The procedure can assist with fertilization when natural conception has not occurred after timing intercourse.
2. IVF Is Painful and Unpleasant
The IVF process does involve injections to stimulate the ovaries and egg retrieval, which may cause mild discomfort. However, many women report the process being far less painful than they imagined. The hormones currently used for IVF reduce pain and discomfort.
3. IVF Always Results in Twins or Triplets
The inaugural days of IVF resulted in the transferring of embryos that often resulted in multiple pregnancies. Presently clinics do 1 or 2 embryo transfers to reduce the risk of multiples but allowing for a greater rate of success for at least one.
4. IVF Will Guarantee a Baby
IVF does not guarantee a successful pregnancy or baby. The success rates are continually improving, especially in younger women, and there is no certainty. On an average, IVF is successful in approximately 20-35% per cycle.
5. IVF Is an Unnatural way to conceive
IVF does occur in a laboratory setting. The process simply facilitates fertilization. The eggs and sperm used are usually from the intended parents. The resulting embryo is transferred to the uterus to implant naturally. The hormones used, align with what a woman's body does naturally. While technically assisted, IVF is not an unnatural process.
