How to Increase IVF Success Rate?

Since couples have not been able to satisfy their longing for a child for many years, the success rate can be increased if certain conditions are met in the IVF method they prefer. Couples who have not been able to conceive with natural methods and assisted reproduction methods want to achieve this with IVF treatment. In order to increase the chance of pregnancy in this reproductive method, which is the most successful for couples who cannot conceive and have babies today, certain factors must come together.


The most important factor that can have a positive effect on this is the woman's age. The fact that the woman is young and healthy during the treatment, and therefore has a high egg reserve and higher quality eggs during this period are factors that increase the success of the treatment. However, in some cases, it is rarely seen that even young women in their 20s have reduced egg reserves. During IVF treatment, experts find it appropriate to obtain at least 5 or more eggs from women per month. Women can normally produce approximately one egg per month. If the woman is young, the number of eggs obtained during IVF treatment can be 20-30. Since this factor will increase the chance of selecting healthier eggs from among the eggs, it will affect the success of the IVF treatment. In addition to these factors, factors such as the stress experienced by the couple, the choice of the center where the IVF treatment is performed, the spouses' perspective on IVF treatment, their patience, their belief in the treatment and their expectations from the treatment can reduce the chance of success in IVF treatment. Therefore, spouses should be prepared for this in every way before the treatment.


I tried to give detailed information in the video below.



Does reducing stress during IVF treatment affect pregnancy success?

During IVF treatment applied to women, the functional disorder of the tubes in the woman is one of the factors that negatively affects the treatment. However, another important factor that affects ovulation and pregnancy in women is being stressed. In order for a woman to get pregnant with a successful treatment and continue her pregnancy, she needs to stay away from stress during this period. The main reasons for stress during IVF treatment are family pressure and incompatibility between couples. Raising awareness about the treatment before the treatment starts is very important in order to avoid problems during the IVF stages. Having sufficient information about the treatment and being properly informed about it before the treatment can prevent stress for couples who want to have IVF treatment. It is beneficial for the doctor to be in constant communication with the patient and to provide information about the stages.


What are the practices that will increase the chance of pregnancy in in vitro fertilization treatment?

  • Couples who want to have a baby through in vitro fertilization treatment must be understanding towards each other and be in harmony with each other in the decisions they will make.

  • Yoga and meditation methods that will relax the woman should be applied as a support.

  • In order to cope with stress, it may be recommended that couples seek support from a psychologist.

  • Smoking and caffeine-containing beverages should be avoided and light exercises should be performed.

  • You should learn what couples want to know about IVF treatment and infertility and other issues only by consulting your doctor, not from those around you. With this action, you will continue the treatment without unnecessary worries and will not experience stress.

  • Acupuncture has recently been seen as a very beneficial application for overcoming stress. In this way, you can increase your chances of getting pregnant in IVF treatment. It is recommended that you apply this especially during the preparation phase of the treatment.

  • Before starting treatment, family members need to support each other.

  • People who want to have a baby through in vitro fertilization treatment must be mentally ready for this.


Couples who want to get pregnant using the in vitro fertilization method, although they experience various financial and emotional difficulties during this treatment, those who want to have a baby with this reproductive method see in vitro fertilization treatment as a ray of hope. If the treatment is successful and pregnancy is achieved, all the negativities disappear in the eyes of the couples in an instant. In vitro fertilization treatment is both a source of stress and a ray of hope for the couples who apply it. If the treatment, which was started with great hopes, ends in failure, it is considered a difficult process for the spouses. However, when the treatment is successful, everything is forgotten in an instant. For this reason, the necessary research should be done before and after the treatment and precautions should be taken to increase the possibility of pregnancy. In addition, psychologically relaxing the spouses and providing them with psychological support is a factor that will increase the chance of success in in vitro fertilization.


Can women with poor quality eggs become pregnant with IVF?

The quality of the egg in the women's ovaries is extremely important for pregnancy. For this reason, the quality of the egg in the woman is also evaluated before IVF treatment. The quality of the egg is a factor that will determine the ability to fertilize. However, there is no completely reliable method to determine this. Studies have determined that the probability of the embryo attaching to the uterus is related to the woman's age and hormone levels. The quality of the egg of the woman may vary from month to month. The negative effects on the ovaries in life, hereditary factors, the use of certain medications, and surgical operations are factors that can change the quality of the egg. In order to increase the chance of pregnancy in IVF treatment, women should stay away from toxic effects such as alcohol and smoking , not use inappropriate medications, pay attention to nutrition, and lose excess weight.


Can pregnancy occur if the number of eggs in a woman decreases during IVF treatment?

The number of eggs in a woman's ovaries and their quality affect the possibility of getting pregnant. The factor that has the greatest impact on the decrease in egg reserve is the woman's age. The number of eggs that decreases after the age of 35 continues to decrease at an increasing rate when she reaches the age of 40. A woman with a decreasing number of eggs has a very low chance of getting pregnant even naturally. In addition, even if pregnancy occurs, the risk of miscarriage increases due to insufficient egg quality. In order for pregnancy to occur at the end of the treatment, the embryo must develop healthily and there must be a suitable uterine lining for the embryo to settle. In order for these factors to come together under the most suitable conditions under scientific conditions, there must be an IVF center with sufficient personnel and equipment. In order for the IVF center to be successful in the treatment, it must be in close contact with the patient and its expert staff must have sufficient experience in the treatment stages. Each stage must be followed step by step and the factors that will prevent pregnancy and reduce the chance of pregnancy must be corrected. The fact that couples who want to have IVF treatment believe in the success of this treatment is among the factors that will affect success.


What are the reasons for unsuccessful IVF?

The first factor for this failure can be a genetic disorder in the embryo structure. This can be caused by inappropriate laboratory conditions or the outer shell of the embryo being too thick. Disorders in the woman's uterus can also be a reason for failure. These factors can be adhesions in the uterus, abortion, polyps and myomas. With these factors, the embryo can be considered to have failed to attach to the uterus. Therefore, eliminating problems that may cause failure in the tests to be performed before the treatment are elements that will increase success. The woman's uterus should be examined in detail and genetic studies should be performed. In order for the in vitro fertilization treatment to be successful, nothing should be missed.
