Infertility is a special disease, the special thing is that after the use of treatment means unlike other diseases can not be quickly seen results. For example, a patient with bacterial diarrhea may recover quickly after the doctor gives antibiotics and antidiarrheal agents, or a patient with fibroids may lose the fibroids after surgery. But infertility is not the same, for example, ovulation disorder patients, the doctor gave ovulation therapy, ultrasound monitoring to the follicle discharge, to know pregnant or not pregnant, at least 2 weeks to wait for urine or blood; if not pregnant, this cycle of treatment is over, because ovulation disorder of ovulation therapy only manages this cycle, the next cycle is not a natural row, no one can say for sure. Doctors usually recommend another cycle of treatment, but the patient feels very depressed, I have run so many times, and still ask me to run to the hospital. It is an objective law that the chance of pregnancy for women with normal menstrual cycles is less than 20%. Therefore, patients with ovulation disorders, if there is no other abnormalities found, generally recommend medication to promote ovulation for 3-6 cycles, that is, 3 months to half a year, and half a year of the cumulative pregnancy rate is 60-70%. There are also some patients, the doctor used the drug to know whether it is effective, at least a few cycles of observation to know ah. Because the most direct evidence of the effectiveness of infertility treatment is pregnancy after treatment. That’s why some doctors recommend patients to wait for a while after tubal reversal surgery. Then there is artificial insemination. Artificial insemination actually solves the process of the man’s sperm entering the woman’s reproductive tract, so the pregnancy rate per cycle is about the same as that of natural conception. Some people don’t understand this and feel that they have gone to the hospital so many times and spent money, but there is no result. There is nothing that can be done about it, there are so many factors that limit the pregnancy rate, and it is unlikely that there will be a major increase in the pregnancy rate for IUI in the next few years at least. Then there’s IVF. This is the last resort for the treatment of certain infertility, the pregnancy rate reported at home and abroad are mostly in the 40% or so, this has been a lot higher than the chances of natural conception, an IVF is actually an ovulation cycle pregnancy rate, did not succeed, many people are very depressed, think it is “a cup of coffee”, but objectively look at this problem! The fact is, it’s very common that at least half of them end up failing, and the successes are partly due to luck. Of course, the conditions of the couple, of course, the success rate should be higher, for example, the woman is young (less than 30), just simple tubal obstruction, the man is not too old, sperm vitality couples are generally better than the age of both couples older than 35 years old couples pregnancy rate is higher. So once you’ve embarked on this path of infertility treatment, be prepared for a long fight. The key to infertility treatment is to find the cause of the infertility and treat it appropriately for good results. Of course, there are about 10% of patients who cannot find the cause. But as a patient, at least you should be clear about what causes your infertility.
