I often receive such patients who come to me and say, “Doctor, we want to have a baby, let’s do IVF!” Whenever I face such patients, I really don’t know what to say. First of all, we should understand that IVF is not what you want it to be, our country has regulations, except for some genetic diseases must do pre-implantation diagnosis, other than gender selection is not allowed. Secondly, the success rate of IVF is not 100% yet, the average level is only 40%-50%. Generally, if the woman is less than 35 years old for the first IVF, 2 embryos can be released, and if she is older than 35 years old or if the first IVF is unsuccessful, 3 embryos can be released. In other words, after IVF, almost half of the people will be able to get pregnant, possibly with 3, possibly with 2, and possibly with 1. Of course, if you are pregnant with multiples, you have to reduce the number of embryos. The remaining half have no chance of even conceiving a singleton. So you can’t expect to have IVF to give birth to a baby. Another important point is that there are indications for IVF. The indications for IVF include the following: 1. Gamete transport disorders caused by various factors in the female partner: including bilateral tubal obstruction, tubal agenesis, severe pelvic adhesions or history of tubal surgery resulting in loss of tubal function. 2. Ovulation disorders: refractory ovulation disorders that have not been treated with repeated routine ovulation promotion therapy or combined with intrauterine insemination techniques to obtain pregnancy. 3. Endometriosis: Infertility caused by endometriosis, which has not been treated with conventional drugs and/or surgery and intrauterine insemination techniques. 4.Low, weak and malformed spermatozoa in the male partner: male infertility with low, weak and malformed spermatozoa or compound factors in the male partner, and pregnancy is still not obtained after treatment with intrauterine insemination technique, or the severity of factors in the male partner is not suitable for intrauterine insemination. 5. Immunological infertility: those who have not been pregnant after repeated intrauterine insemination or other conventional treatments. 6. Unexplained infertility: repeated intrauterine insemination or other conventional treatment but still no pregnancy. One of the above items must be met before IVF can be done. Therefore, it is best to have an understanding of the indications for IVF before visiting the hospital to avoid jokes.
