World IVF Day: Debunking Myths About In Vitro Fertilization
World IVF Day is observed on 25 July every year to recognise the impact of IVF on people's lives and to raise awareness about the benefits of IVF. It is a day to celebrate the success stories of IVF in creating families and to spread hope for those who are still struggling with infertility.
IVF has revolutionised reproductive medicine, offering hope to couples struggling with infertility. In India, IVF has become increasingly popular, with an estimated 1.5 million IVF cycles being performed each year [1].
It has become a viable option for couples struggling with infertility and has enabled many to fulfil their dream of having a child. The growing popularity of IVF in India is also evident in the increasing number of fertility clinics providing IVF services but of course, for everything that is relevant and prominent, there must be some misconceptions attached to it, right?
The same goes for IVF. So, let's dive in and separate the myths from the facts!
1. Myth: IVF is the only option for infertility.
Fact: While IVF is a popular and effective fertility treatment, it is not the only option available. Depending on the underlying cause of infertility, there may be alternative treatments like fertility medications, intrauterine insemination (IUI), or surgery that can be explored first [2].
2. Myth: IVF always results in multiple pregnancies.
Fact: While it's true that IVF can increase the chances of having twins or triplets, the goal of most fertility clinics is to achieve a healthy pregnancy. With advances in technology and better embryo selection techniques, the incidence of multiple pregnancies has significantly decreased [3].
3. Myth: IVF is only for older women.
Fact: While age can affect fertility, IVF is not exclusively for older women. Many couples, regardless of age, may require IVF due to various reasons such as male factor infertility, tubal blockage, or unexplained infertility. IVF offers hope to couples regardless of their age [4].
4. Myth: IVF is a guaranteed success.
Fact: IVF success rates vary depending on several factors, including age, the cause of infertility, and the quality of eggs and sperm. While IVF has helped millions of couples worldwide conceive, it may not be successful in every case [5][6]. It's important that you have realistic expectations and discuss success rates with your doctor.
On A Final Note...
On World IVF Day, let's debunk some common misconceptions regarding this remarkable medical advancement that has brought happiness to countless families around the world.
If you or someone you know is considering IVF, consult with a fertility specialist to explore the available options. Let's celebrate World IVF Day by spreading awareness and supporting those on their fertility journey!
