IVF Success Stories by Dr Gautam Allahbadia

Important Facts to know about Assisted Reproductive Technology.

Often couples decide to not have children during the initial years of their marriage or until they are in mutual consent to have a child or children. This is very commonly seen these days, but the problem is, by the time these couples decide to have a baby, it may be too late! Age is one of the most important factors that come in the way of pregnancy. It is a proven and widely accepted fact that women’s fertility decreases with age, because women are born with a definite number of eggs in their ovaries and the number diminishes with age. While for men, sperm production is often not affected by age, but there may be very rare exceptions.

The average age for child-bearing has increased over the past few years because women nowadays don’t even think about marriage until they have completed their higher education and career goals. There are several factors that contribute to this trend like easy availability of contraception, married couples delaying pregnancy until they are more financially secure, the ever-increasing divorce rates, and more. But the problem is, that fertility in women begins to decline during their late 20s and early 30s. Still there is not much to worry about because locating the Best Fertility Clinic In Kolkata will be easier than you can imagine. Despite regular menstrual cycles, fertility in women begins to diminish several years before the onset of menopause. There are several cases wherein the ovarian reserve reduces drastically much before they even reach the age of 30. The factors that contribute to early loss of ovarian reserve would be cigarette smoking, alcohol addiction, drug abuse, overexposure to environmental pollutants, family history of premature ovarian failure, previously diagnosed ovarian cancer and treatment, previous ovarian surgery, significant ovarian pathology, etc. The solution to all these problems is the wonders that Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) have shown is thousands of late pregnancy cases. Yet, you still need to be aware that your age will affect the success rates of infertility treatments and also your ability to get pregnant naturally. At 30, if a woman has a 20% chance of pregnancy, then at 40 the pregnancy rate is reduced to 5% per month if you are trying to get pregnant naturally. Hence, if you are woman above 35 years of age and are trying to get pregnant, you may need to get an expedited evaluation and undergo treatment after 6 months of failed attempts to conceive. If you are older than 40, you immediately need to consult with a fertility specialist. The infertility evaluation in women of advanced reproductive age should include an in-depth assessment of their ovarian reserve. Reach out to the best IVF Specialist in Kolkata to get guided appropriately. If you are one of those couples who have decided to delay your pregnancy, fertility reservation can be the right solution for you. Fertility preservation is a process wherein individuals can retain their fertility or ability to procreate. By using freezing agents, human tissues such as semen, oocytes for unmarried individuals, and embryos for married couples are frozen at a temperature of -196 degree Celsius and stored in uniquely designed tanks. When you will be ready to start a family, and face difficulty in conceiving naturally, you can opt for IVF with the previously frozen gametes or embryos.

Thank you @myjouneywithivf for this great idea to post 4 pictures of something fun or something that made an impact on our life.  We are more than our fertility struggles. I encourage you to do the #myrtlechallenge too.  Photo 1- Our first picture together, taken on our second date (November, 2013). I was laughing so hard I was out of the frame a lot. It was such a fun night. It was also the night I fell in love with him.  Photo 2- Just before I met my husband I was living and working in Denali National Park. Although I've lived in Alaska most of my life, it was my first experience in Denali. The hikes were amazing. Hiking and getting out in nature are some of my favorite things in life.  Photo 3- Summit Lake in Hatcher Pass (Palmer, Alaska). These pictures don't do it justice. It's a bright teal colored lake high in the mountains with a beautiful valley behind it. It's only accessable a few months out of the year due to snow. I've done a decent amount of traveling and this is still hands down my favorite place in the world. Sometimes you'll see paragliders drifting down in the valley. Its a great place to have a picnic and relax, or go hiking.  Photo 4- on my wedding day the officiant was running late, like really late. I was all completely dressed up about to do our beach wedding in Belize. I was told by my wedding planner, "He's just now getting on the plane and it might be over an hour before he lands." While I was waiting I took a bunch of silly pictures with Mom. This is one example of how an unexpected and potentially nerve wracking situation turned out to be a good memory. Everything about my wedding day turned out perfect in the end, other than having to wait a bit. We made the most of it.

Instead of lucky socks, I wore my pineapple necklace during my FET. Tommorow is my first blood test to see if I'm pregnant or not. I thought this was really cute and it gave me something to hold on to when my nerves were starting to go up during the FET, kind of like a "grounding technique." It did make me feel a little better. .

To test, or not to test, that is the question. Did you take a pregnancy test before seeing your provider? Were you happy with your decision? Comment below, your answers could help others decide. I am 5dp5dt. I am going to try to hold off testing, just in case I get a false negative. Just a few more days until my first HCG, then another repeat HCG two days after. To me it seems like more of a rollercoaster of emotions to test early, but to others it may give them peace of mind. I will admit I am definitely tempted from time to time to test early.

Despite someone pulling the fire alarm right before my embryo transfer (see previous post), I was still able to do my transfer. And yes, I had to hold from going pee with a full bladder (required for transfer) while the fireman were inside for about 30 minutes. When I was finally able to go back inside I only had one thing on my mind while they were inserting my embryo..."please don't pee, please don't pee, PLEEEASE!" I had to go so badly now that we were running late for my transfer. Near the last few minutes I could feel my heart rate going down. They told me that because I hadn't been called back when the alarm went off, they hadn't thawed the embryo yet. So my embryo was perfectly fine just chillin' in cryopreservation while I was nearly having a panic attack outside on the sidewalk. The embryologist said my embryo looks "beautiful" and that it was hatching, which I've heard is a good sign. I was able to go the bathroom right after the transfer, THANK YOU JESUS! I cannot believe this happened today, but I'm even more surprised I was still able to do the transfer despite the situation. What a rollercoaster of emotions! Phew! Right now I'm just relaxing in my hotel. In the next few days I'll be writing a detailed post on my blog (see bio) keep checking back to hear more details of my FET transfer. .

Feeling like a turbo nerd with my face shield on my flight for my embryo transfer tomorrow. I was surrounded by a symphony of sneezes about every 15 minutes or so. Not to mention coughing too. Most of which was coming from the family in front of me. So I felt a little better having worn this dork costume. Hopefully it provided some protection. I have to take a COVID test at the airport when I get home, my work also requires it. The stress I'm feeling with the pandemic and fertility treatment at the same time, is nothing compared to the families who are struggling with positive COVID tests, with loved ones in the hospital. I pray for them and I'm hoping we get a vaccine soon. Yes my face shield may seem over the top to some people, but there are people in my life who are immunocompromised and I would feel immense guilt if I didn't take every precaution possible. Stay safe everyone. ♥️ .

In a complete turn of events, my doctor decides to set my transfer date! He based his decision on my good blood levels despite my lining being just under the acceptable threshold they will accept. My transfer date is just under a week and they believe my lining will thicken up by then, since I am so close. Booked my flight and hotel right after the good news. I'm beyond excited! .

So my lining went from 5mm last week to 5.3mm today. It's not looking good. I'm waiting to hear back from my doctor's office to find out what happens next. Not sure if they will postpone my FET again or if it will be completely cancelled. If it gets cancelled I don't know what I will do. I might put the FET on pause, and try for another egg retrieval, so I can do some embryo banking. I have low ovarian reserve so I don't want to miss out on my chance of having more embryos. I've spent almost eight months on preparing for this FET, and it's just not working out. Either they need to change their protocol for me, or I need to lose weight, or change up my supplements. Something is off, that's for sure. If this FET gets cancelled I think I need a break to figure out what is going wrong. . @hopingforbabyblog . . . . #ivf #ivftransfer #frozenembryotransfer #frozenembryo #embryotransfer #ivfjourney #ivfsupport #ivfsisters #ivfwarrior #ivfblogger #ivfblog #ivftreatment #ivfcommunity #ivfwarriors #infertilitywarrior #infertility #infertilityblogger #infertilityblog #infertilitycommunity #infertilitysupport #infertilitysisters #infertilityjourney #lowamh #lowamhlevels #lowovarianreserve #diminishedovarianreserve #mthfr #mthfrgenemutation  #infertilityover30 #ivfover30 https://www.instagram.com/p/CDMcYtWj39i/?igshid=1dwsrf761f0g2
