Body weight comes up in almost every IVF consultation, and it is one of the hardest things to raise without it feeling like judgment. It shouldn't be. Weight affects fertility through biology, not character, and understanding how gives you something useful to work with rather than something to feel bad about.
Before starting IVF, many couples are offered expanded carrier screening, a test that examines a few hundred genetic conditions in both partners. For couples with no family history of genetic disease, it can seem unnecessary. It is not.
When a couple has more than one embryo ready to transfer, a natural question follows: why not put two back and improve the odds? It feels obvious. Two embryos, two chances, a better shot at finally being pregnant.
There's a particular silence that follows a man being told there's no sperm in his sample. Not low. None. For most men the word that comes next, somewhere in their own head, is "never." No biological children. Donor sperm, adoption, or nothing.
Few things in fertility are as quietly crushing as a failed transfer when everything was supposed to work. The embryo was a good one, maybe even tested and known to be chromosomally normal. The lining measured exactly where it should on the scan.
A woman with low ovarian reserve goes through the whole thing. Two weeks of injections. Scan after scan. The retrieval under sedation. And at the end of it, three eggs. One fertilises, one reaches a blastocyst, and that single embryo either fails to implant or comes back abnormal on testing.
Two ideas come up early in almost every fertility conversation, and they get confused constantly. Egg quantity is how many eggs a woman has left. Egg quality is whether those eggs can actually become a healthy baby.
Endometrial polyps are one of the more common things a fertility scan turns up, and one of the easiest to underestimate. They are small, usually harmless growths in the lining of the womb, often no bigger than a few millimetres, and most cause no symptoms at all.
The IVF procedure is considered by many couples as the most successful way to overcome infertility. But noteveryone knows that there is more than one method to IVF. A less intensive IVF option, called Mini IVF, has become a recent topic of interest as well, for its softer method and fewer pills.
The first 2 days after embryo transfer can be the longest days of your life! After having done everything to conceive over the weeks or months of fertility treatments, the last thing you can do is wait, which can be stressful, exciting and hopeful.
