What is the success rate of IVF treatment and are there any risks involved?
Generally, the global success rate for IVF treatment is about 30-40%. But the rate in Gurgaon is better, pegged at about 50-80%, depending on the individual cases. Remember, the younger you are, the more will be your chances of success. Although IVF is a largely safe process, there are some risks and side effects involved, as in all medical procedures.

Possible IVF risks:
-
Premature delivery (baby is born early) and low birth weight (baby weighs less than normal when born)
-
The miscarriage rate may be high in women who have conceived via the IVF process, this is especially true for older women
-
Multiple births, that is, multiple fetuses can be a result of implanting more than one embryo which will increase the risk of premature delivery
-
About 2-5% of women who use IVF will experience an ectopic pregnancy. In this condition, the embryo is implanted outside the uterus, generally in the fallopian tubes where it fails to survive
-
In older mothers, IVF might increase the risk of birth defects (although more research needs to be done in this area)
-
During the egg retrieval process, the aspirating needle can cause bleeding which may develop an infection or damage the bowel, a blood vessel, or bladder.
-
Injections that are used to stimulate ovulation can lead to ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome which can make the ovaries swollen and painful. However, the symptoms usually don’t last more than a few weeks
-
Earlier studies had suggested that IVF may increase the risk of contracting cancer, however, more recent studies deny such links
Lastly, there is always emotional and physical stress associated with the IVF process. Therefore, the support of family and friends is of the utmost importance for the couple undergoing IVF.
In conclusion about IVF
In-vitro fertilization (IVF) has become a popular treatment option for couples facing infertility issues. But before you decide to undergo this procedure, you should consult a doctor and know all possible solutions to your problem. In case you’ve tried other solutions and failed to conceive or diagnosis reveals that IVF is necessary, only then go for it. It can be a financial drain because on average, IVF treatment in Gurgaon requires you to spend about 1 lakh. The cost may be higher if you want to take other services like IUI, ICSI, or IMSI. If you want a sperm/ egg donor or a surrogate, you’ll have to pay for those as well. Therefore, the ultimate IVF cost will depend on these factors, aside from your age and fertility cycle. But the success rate of IVF in Gurgaon is pretty high and you can opt for it if you find all the other factors suitable.
