IVF Treatment in Anna Nagar

IVF may be considered for:

• Blocked or severely damaged fallopian tubes
• Certain forms of male-factor infertility
• Severe sperm abnormalities
• Endometriosis-associated infertility
• Reduced ovarian reserve
• Ovulation problems that have not responded adequately to simpler treatments
• Unexplained infertility after unsuccessful previous treatments
• Repeated unsuccessful IUI cycles
• Some genetic or inherited conditions where embryo testing may be considered
• Certain cases involving fertility preservation

The decision should be based on factors such as age, ovarian reserve, sperm health, previous treatment, reproductive history, and overall health.

How Age Influences IVF

Age has an important influence on IVF outcomes, particularly because female egg quantity and quality generally decline with age.

Women below 35 often have better treatment prospects than women in older age groups, while fertility outcomes may become more challenging after 35 and particularly after 40.

However, age alone does not determine whether IVF can work. Ovarian reserve, embryo development, sperm quality, uterine health, and the underlying reason for infertility also matter.

A fertility specialist can assess your individual circumstances and explain the realistic expectations for treatment rather than relying on a general success percentage.

When Should You Consult a Fertility Specialist?

A fertility consultation may be appropriate when pregnancy has not occurred despite regular unprotected intercourse.

Generally:

• Women under 35 may consider evaluation after 12 months of trying.
• Women aged 35 or older may benefit from evaluation after six months.
• Earlier assessment may be appropriate when there are known fertility concerns.
