For centuries, there have been cases where women were unable to conceive a child. The reason could in both, female or male body. Despite knowing the reason, it wasn’t possible to treat such patients or let them have a chance at parenting. Many such marriages would end in a divorce that was unable to conceive a child, but mostly, the motherly instincts of a childless woman were hurt deeply and inconsolably. Thanks to the IVF, which stands for- In-Vitro Fertilization, that it has given a newly found chance at parenting to those who cannot do it naturally?

Even though man developed this technique of artificial fertilization, it is greatly unlikely to have successful implantation or a successful pregnancy. The chances are meagre in most cases given the fact that IVF is indeed, an experiment which does not claim 100% proficiency or results. No one can guarantee 100% success but after meticulous evaluation one can try and assure maximum success. Therefore, whoever goes for an IVF treatment is always, more or less, in the shadow of the doubt whether it will turn out positive or not! This brings us to the most asked question, IVF: how successful is it? Well, the answer merely lies in the statistics and the reason for seeking the treatment.

To start with, there are a number of factors on which the success of IVF depends upon, for example:

  • The age of women

  • Causes of Infertility

  • The quality of egg in the female body

  • The quality of sperm

  • The quantity of sperm released by the male body

These are the primary factors which influence the success of IVF treatment. If you consider recent statistics, it says that women who receive frozen egg transfers are more likely to have a successful pregnancy than those with a fresh transfer. A frozen egg transfer is not only best recommended by the doctors but it has a higher statistical success rate. This is mainly due to the fact which says that during a frozen egg transfer the hormonal condition in the woman is better adjusted and in control. Moreover, the mother is less like to suffer from any pregnancy-related complications when subjected to frozen egg transfer.

Conclusion: Deciding the success rate of an IVF treatment is highly impossible because the situation with every couple is unique to their own health conditions and other factors. But medical science is advancing by the day which means the possibility of success is most likely to be increased in the near future. One way to ensure the success is thorough research about relatable cases and in-depth talk with your doctor.
