are should i go straight for ivf?

Answer 1

It really depends what your situation is - how long have you been trying to conceive, what tests have you done, what are the results of those tests and what treatments have you tried.

Generally you'd only go straight to IVF in the following cases (these are the most common)
- tube problem (no tubes, blocked tubes)
- severe sperm problem (very low count, motility, normal shapes, etc.) - in some cases you might go straight to IVF with ICSI.

These are cases in which IUI (intrauterine insemination) is unlikely to work.

Answer 2

If you have tried for over a year to get pregnant naturally, you should consult with your GYN about other methods, including artificial insemination (spouse or stranger); fertility drugs and IVF. All of these methods are quite expensive so unless you have insurance that covers fertility issues, you could be in for a big expense.

I was unsuccessful getting pregnant for over 4 years after I stopped the pill. My first pregnancy with fertility drugs ended in miscarriage at 14 weeks. My second pregnancy occurred approximately 5 months later and I have a beautiful 26 year old daughter. My second pregnancy occurred while I was nursing my daughter and I have a son, 24.

Don't give up!

Answer 3

Straight to IVF..??!!
May be not an ideal choice if you can conceive the way nature has chosen for us as that is far more superior technology than the nascent IVF.
It's for couples, who for some medical condition aren't able to conceive the natural way!!
Plus the huge costs involved..versus much less expenses comparatively on giving birth in a natural way..
I would say You straight go for Nature way Baby.. :-))
Take Care..

May The Force Be With You..

Answer 4

The usual protocol (in UK) is: if you 've been trying to conceive for 2 years, then see your gp. Both couples will be checked out for any problems. Dependant on their findings - you can then proceed to IVF treatment.

Answer 5

If you are facing some trouble conceiving naturally and it persists for long than ivf is certainly a positive step.talking to your doctor about your ovaries ,uturus and tubes in detail would give you a clear picture about your decision.please hurry if your age is over 30.
