Some fertility clinic sticks to a particular age bracket to maintain their existing success rate. So you need to find out about their success rate and possible factors contributing to that.


2) VF/Fertility Treatment cost

Cost of IVF Treatment is expansive anywhere in the world, and this is determined by many factors which includes cost of treatment drugs among others.

So find out what treatment options are available to you and which one is more suitable to your own peculiar fertility needs.


4) If I have a previous myomectomy but the fibroid has grown back, must I have it remove again before my IVF treatment?

You may be advised to attempt an IVF cycle first before going for repeat surgery to have the fibroids removed.
It’s advisable that IVF treatment be commenced soon after uterine fibroids have been removed (myomectomy) that is, after recovery from surgery and menses resumes.


5) Will uterine fibroid affect the outcome of my treatment?
Many women are able to achieve pregnancy with co-existing uterine fibroid but this depends on the size and location of the fibroid’s.

Fibroids that encroach on the uterine cavity (submucous fibroids) interfere more with implantation of the embryo to the uterus leading to reduced chances of achieving pregnancy.

Some fibroids can be large enough to displace the uterine cavity or obscure the ovaries making it difficult for eggs to be retrieved for IVF. In such cases its advised that the fibroids be removed before going for IVF treatment to improve success


6) Can I use my own eggs/sperm?

This depends on tests/Investigation results. If ultrasound scan, hormone profile and semen analysis reflect that your own eggs /sperm can be used, then certainly.

But you don’t have to assume this, that’s why you need to find out and ask the right questions from the fertility specialist on ground.

7) Must/Should I use donor Eggs/Donor Sperm?

In most if not all fertility clinic’s the decision on what should and should not be used during the course of your treatment, is normally determined after a preliminary investigations/assessments/test on couples desiring the fruit of the womb.

if after assessment and investigations have been carried out and its observed that the use of donor gamete (donor eggs or donor sperm) is the option that will improve the chance of achieving pregnancy, the couple will be counseled on the options available.

Then they can make an informed decision and advice you accordingly.

How will ovarian cysts affect my treatment?

There are different types of ovarian cysts and treatment is individualized according to specific clinical findings on Ultrasound scan and physical examination. Treatment options include:

Observation
Serial Ultrasound scan
Surgical intervention-cystectomy AND
Oophorectomy.

Functional Ovarian Cysts for example, are quite common and often do not need treatment and go on their own within about 8-12wks and do not usually affect response to IVF treatment. Your doctor will advise you on what type of ovarian cyst you have and the best option for you.

9) How many embryos will be transferred-?
It’s a normal practice to transfer multiple embryo’s during the cause of fertility treatment in many IVF treatment clinics
This normally depends on the number and quality of embryos available for transfer.

Many clinics may transfer 2 or 3 embryos to increase the chance of at least one embryo implanting in the uterus.
However, most clinics will not transfer more than 4 embryos because of the risks associated with multiple pregnancies.
More recently, Elective Single Embryo transfer, where only one embryo is transferred to the uterus and other embryos are frozen for future use is done.


10) Will endometrial polp interfere with my treatment chances?

Yes. Endometrial polyps are growths that occur in the inner lining of the uterus and can make it difficult for embryo implantation to occur.
These are one of the things that are usually discovered during assessment screening tests in most fertility clinics.

11) I have PCOS, what should I expect in the cause of my treatment

Women with PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) are at risk of developing Ovarian Hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) while on IVF treatment. Symptoms of OHSS include rapid weight gain, vomiting, abdominal pain, abdominal swelling, and shortness of breath. Sever OHSS can be life threatening.

To avoid the risk of developing OHSS, a long treatment protocol may be used with IVF drugs tailored towards achieving a favorable IVF outcome.

12) have a low sperm count what options do you have for me
Options for low sperm count include IVF with ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection) or if sever or no sperm at all then donor sperm.

13) Will it be a 2-Day or 5-Day Transfer?
Day 2,3,5 transfer-Ideal day for Embryo transfer varies from woman to woman and cycle to cycle. Growing embryos to Blastocyst stage (Day 5 Embryo) helps to identify embryos with better chances for implantation in the uterus .35-50% of all fertilized eggs will develop to Blastocyst stage.

Some patients however, may have only 1,2 or 3 embryos that develop normally after fertilization. In such cases, there may be no advantage to continuing to blastocyst stage. The human body may be the best place for these embryos to grow and develop after fertilization hence, a Day2 or Day3 transfer may be done. Your IVF clinic will guide you on the best day for embryo transfer for you. Its worth noting that even good quality blastocyst embryos do not always result in successful pregnancy.
