IVF success rates

• Before starting IVF treatment, you should find
  out and understand the success rate of IVF
  treatment.
• It is important to know the factors that affect
  the success rate of treatment.
• Many factors influence the overall success of the
  IVF process.
• These include the age of the male and female
  partner, the duration of infertility, primary or
  secondary infertility, the cause of infertility,
  the overall quality of your eggs, sperm, or
  embryos, and overall endometrial development.
• IVF is the most successful procedure, with a high
  success rate when the patient is under 35 years
  of age.

• The success rate of the clinic you choose is also
  an important factor to consider.
• Clinics with high success rates often ensure that
  they are very careful and handle each case with
  utmost care.
• Choose a facility with board-certified doctors
  and dedicated infrastructure to ensure
  comfortable and successful treatment.

Body check-up is required.

• Your eligibility for IVF is checked before
  starting the treatment.
• The best treatment plan and your chances of
  success are determined by the doctor and a
  thorough body check-up.
• Sperm analysis, which provides data on total
  sperm count, sperm motility, and whether sperm
  are morphologically viable, is usually part of a
  male partner's test. The test results determine
  the next course of action for the male partner.

• A check-up of the female partner takes a little
  longer and requires more detailed testing.
• A blood test is usually needed to measure the
  levels of reproductive hormones such as FSH
  (follicle-stimulating hormone), luteinizing
  hormone, prolactin, and thyroid-stimulating
  hormone.
• The hCG test is also used to check if the uterine
  cavity is normal and if the fallopian tubes are
  open and functioning properly.

What you need to understand about the process?

• Going for IVF is a smart choice after learning
  all about the technique. Ovarian stimulation, egg
  and sperm retrieval, fertilization, and embryo
  transfer are all part of the IVF process.
• The IVF process is time-consuming, and various
  factors must be considered when determining the
  effectiveness of any IVF therapy. You should be
  patient and try to keep your composure.
• Before starting the IVF procedure, you should be
  in optimal emotional and physical condition.
• Physical fitness will help you succeed and mental
  fitness will help you get through the various
  treatments and procedures you may need.

Nutrition and lifestyle.

• What you eat and how you spend your life can
  significantly affect the success rate of your IVF
  process.
• Hormones are important in pregnancy and any
  variation in hormone levels can lead to ovarian
  failure and hormonal imbalance.
• A balanced diet and adequate intake of minerals
  such as folic acid, iron, and zinc are essential.
• A balanced diet rich in minerals, vitamins,
  carbohydrates, proteins, and fats can help men
  improve their sperm quality. Regular exercise is
  also important because a healthy body keeps
  everything in check and balanced.

• Successful IVF treatment requires you to change
  your lifestyle and incorporate good habits such
  as maintaining a stable weight and exercising
  regularly, even if it's a low-impact activity
  like walking.
• Certain foods and behaviors, such as drinking and
  smoking, can significantly reduce the chances of
  a successful treatment, so try to eliminate these
  changes before IVF treatment.
