In the regular consultations regarding assisted reproduction at Leilawa International, advisors often hear questions like this:"I have already done it.2Next...3I have tried IVF several times, but none of them were successful. Each attempt leaves me feeling extremely disappointed. Does IVF really harm one's health? Will the infertility problem get worse over time, making it even more difficult to get pregnant in the future?"

During the process of preparing for pregnancy, what causes the most trouble isn't the need to receive injections or take medication. Instead, it's the self-doubt that plagues many people. Many people hesitate to continue treatment, to start the treatment process anew, or to undergo ovulation induction therapy again. They fear that more treatment will harm their bodies, and that getting pregnant will become increasingly difficult.

This article will address the questions that everyone is most concerned about. We hope it can help those who are feeling confused and anxious, allowing them to find peace of mind.

1. Can in vitro fertilization lead to more severe infertility problems?

In vitro fertilization does not exacerbate infertility issues, nor does it worsen any underlying diseases.

Many people completely reverse the cause and effect relationship.--It's not the use of in vitro fertilization that causes difficulties in conceiving, but rather the inherent difficulties in conceiving that make in vitro fertilization necessary as a solution. In vitro fertilization is a method used to treat infertility, not a cause of infertility.

Tubal problems, reduced ovarian reserve, endometrial issues, immune and coagulation-related problems, sperm problems, and infertility of unknown cause.......These problems existed even before starting in vitro fertilization treatment. The repeated failures were due to the unresolved underlying health issues, not because of the in vitro fertilization treatment itself."Harmed"Body.

II. Personalized ovulation induction therapy: It is important to...

The core competitiveness of in vitro fertilization lies not in the number of ovulation stimulations required, but rather in the quantity of high-quality embryos available. Compared to the repetitive and excessive use of ovarian function, scientifically preserving embryos is more efficient and safer, making it more suitable for most families planning to become parents.

We customize the dosage and cycle of medications based on factors such as age, AMH level, number of primordial follicles, and hormone levels. This helps avoid excessive stimulation of the ovaries with high doses of medication, thereby maximizing the success rate of egg retrieval. In other words, one high-quality ovulation induction session can be more effective than multiple ineffective attempts.

2. Strictly control the interval between ovulation inductions

Ovarian repair requires sufficient time. It is recommended to wait for 1-2 natural cycles between ovulation inductions, allowing enough time for the ovarian follicles and hormonal environment to recover. This prevents continuous overexertion of the ovaries. For those with low ovarian reserve or older age, the frequency of ovulation inductions should be reduced, with priority given to maintaining healthy ovaries.

3. Rational freezing and staged transplantation

All high-quality embryos obtained during a single cycle should be frozen. Only after having 2-3 high-quality embryos can transplantation be considered at an appropriate time. This approach reduces the risk of ovarian damage from repeated ovulation inductions, increases the success rate of single transplants, and minimizes the physical and mental strain associated with repeated procedures.

III. Don't blindly try again if IVF fails

The most important thing to avoid after a failure is to try again immediately. Blindly trying again often leads to repeating the same mistakes. The correct approach is:

Four steps after a failed attempt

① Conduct a thorough analysis of the reasons for failure:Examine all aspects related to eggs, sperm, embryos, chromosomes, uterine environment, immune system, blood coagulation, and endocrine function. Identify any weaknesses.

② Address these weaknesses specifically:First, focus on nourishing eggs and endometrium, adjusting hormones, and improving overall health. Once your body is in good condition, you can proceed with the next cycle.

③ Customize a personalized plan:

④ Get enough rest and avoid overexerting yourself during preparation: A single successful cycle of high quality is far better than ten unsuccessful attempts.

In this process, the choice of hospital and doctor is also crucial.Leilava International Fertility Services will select suitable hospitals and doctors based on the client's test results, previous cycle records, and actual needs. The medical plan is developed by the reproductive doctor who treats the patient. Leilava is responsible for coordinating the match between the hospital and doctor, but does not participate in the development of the medical plan. Changing to a different hospital or a different doctor can sometimes be the turning point from "failure after failure" to "success with one attempt".

IV. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Does ovulation induction use up the eggs in the ovaries prematurely, leading to premature aging?

No. The purpose of ovulation induction drugs is to turn waste into treasure-they help develop follicles that would otherwise be lost during the natural cycle. This is a reuse of existing resources, not an overuse of future egg reserves. There is currently no evidence suggesting that standard ovulation induction causes premature ovarian failure or menopause.

Q2: How long should the interval be between two ovulation inductions?

It is generally recommended to wait 1-2 natural cycles before attempting another ovulation induction. This gives the ovarian hormonal environment and pool of primordial follicles enough time to recover. For women with low ovarian reserve or older age, doctors may recommend longer intervals to focus on maintaining the ovaries. The specific interval will be determined by the reproductive doctor based on individual circumstances.

Q3: Should I try again immediately after a failed IVF attempt?

It is not recommended to start over blindly. After failure, it is important to follow the advice of a reproductive doctor and conduct a thorough review of all aspects involved-eggs, sperm, embryos, chromosomes, uterus, immunity, blood coagulation, endocrine system, etc.

Q4: If there are multiple failed attempts at in vitro fertilization, does it mean that my body is no longer suitable for further attempts?

Multiple failures usually indicate that "the original problems have not been resolved," rather than "the body has been damaged." There may still be underlying issues in areas such as fallopian tubes, uterine cavity, immunity, blood coagulation, and embryo chromosomes. It's better to review the situation thoroughly and adjust the treatment plan accordingly, rather than giving up or repeating the same steps.

Q5: Is it necessary to take some preparatory measures before undergoing in vitro fertilization?

It depends on individual circumstances. If there are issues like thin endometrium, hormonal imbalances, or poor physical condition, it's advisable to address these issues first before proceeding with the procedure. This will improve the quality of the cycle. If all indicators are normal, there's little need for excessive supplementation. Whether or not adjustments are needed, it's recommended that reproductive doctors provide advice based on the results of tests.

5. Conclusion

Ovarian reserve is a limited resource that women are born with, and it cannot be regenerated. Effective in vitro fertilization involves using scientific and personalized approaches to regulate ovulation, preserve ovarian function, and improve embryo quality. We should avoid the misconception that "the more, the better." Instead, we should control the frequency of procedures carefully and focus on improving overall health. This is the correct way to achieve successful in vitro fertilization.
