Myth: IVF babies have health and developmental problems

Truth: There is no proof that children conceived through in vitro fertilization are more likely to experience physical defects that could lead to health problems or developmental delays. Babies born with IVF only have health risks that are comparable to those of babies born naturally.

Myth: Infertility is not influenced by age

Truth: For both men and women, age is an issue. As you age, both male and female fertility declines. After 35, female fertility starts to diminish more quickly. Male fertility drops and sperm quality decreases after the age of 40.

Truth: There are several variables that affect a person’s potential suitability for donation.

Myth: IVF Guarantees Pregnancy

Reality: Although in vitro fertilization (IVF) is a very successful method of treating infertility, pregnancy is not guaranteed by it. IVF success rates are influenced by a number of variables, including age, the cause of infertility, and the quality of the embryos. Even while IVF can greatly boost the chances of conception, some couples may need to go through several rounds of treatment before getting pregnant.

Myth: Only women can undergo IVF

Truth – In  vitro fertilization (IVF) is a method where a man’s sperm and a woman’s egg are taken and combined in a lab. These days, IVF is more frequently used in conjunction with ICSI, TESA, and PESA, among other male infertility therapy techniques. For example, in extreme cases of male infertility, ICSI plus IVF may be employed. To fertilize a female egg in vitro, a single healthy sperm must be chosen and then injected directly into the egg.
