How many attempts does IVF need?
IVF is a method of transferring fertilized eggs back to the mother through in vitro fertilization technology to help infertile couples achieve fertility. However, not every attempt can succeed, and the success rate is often affected by many factors. This article will elaborate on how many attempts IVF needs from four aspects: success rate, age, birth history and medical team.
Success rate
The success rate of IVF is related to several factors. First of all, women's age is one of the main factors affecting the success rate. According to the statistics of foreign hospitals, the success rate of women under the age of 30 is about 30-40%; For women aged 35 to 39, the success rate dropped to 20% to 30%; For women over 40 years old, the success rate is only 10-20%. In addition to age, having other infertility symptoms, egg and sperm quality, endometrial quality, etc. will also affect the success rate.
Therefore, in general, if there are no other special factors, infertile couples need to try IVF 2 to 3 times to successfully conceive.
Age
Age is one of the important factors for IVF to win. Young women have better ovarian function and higher egg quality. Therefore, the success rate of IVF for young couples is relatively high. For women under 30 years old, the success rate is usually higher because their eggs are in a better state of quantity and quality. In contrast, women over 35 years old have a significantly lower success rate due to the reduction of egg quality and quantity. Therefore, young couples may need only one or two attempts to conceive successfully.
Childbearing history
The birth history of infertile couples will also affect the number of IVF attempts. If both parties have ever had the experience of natural pregnancy, even if it ended in abortion, it shows that both parties have certain fertility potential, so the success rate is high. In contrast, couples who have never been pregnant or failed after many attempts may need more attempts. In addition, couples who have experienced multiple miscarriages, tubal obstruction and other problems may need more attempts to successfully conceive.
Medical team
The professional level and experience of the medical team is also one of the key factors affecting the success rate of IVF. Choosing a regular and experienced hospital for IVF can greatly improve the success rate. There are many well-known IVF hospitals abroad, such as Hippolyt Reproductive Medicine Center in the United States, London Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital in the United Kingdom, etc. These hospitals have first-class technical equipment and senior medical teams to provide high-quality IVF services.
To sum up, the success of IVF is related to many factors, including success rate, age, birth history and medical team. Generally speaking, infertile couples may need to try 2 to 3 times to conceive successfully. However, each couple's situation is different, so the number of attempts needs to be determined according to the individual situation. Most importantly, seek the help of professional medical team to improve the possibility of success.
