Head versus heart in IVF
Many educated patients find it very hard to deal with IVF failure, especially when the cycle was perfect, and the doctor transferred a top quality blastocyst into the uterine cavity when the endometrium was receptive.After all, the doctor did everything possible, and the blastocyst looked perfect, the endometrium was 8 mm and trilaminar, the transfer went smoothly and the doctor was really optimistic !So then why did the cycle fail ?The reality is they understand that medical science doesn't have the answers to all their questions, but they find it very hard to accept this.Because they are educated , they expect that medic...

Do ’s and don'ts after the embryo transfer.
Lots of patients are very worried that they will do something stupid after the transfer, which will reduce the chances of their embryo implanting, and cause their IVF cycle to fail.These anxieties usually falls into the category of foods which they eat; (hot foods or cold foods); or physical activity. For example, they are scared that lifting weights , or the bumpy ride on Indian roads may dislodge the embryo.This is why many doctors are happy to give them a long list of do ’s and don'ts. Mother-in-laws and mothers and aunts will also chime in, with many old wives' tales. And friends who are pregnant will be happy to add...

What should a patient do when IVF doctors disagree ?
Infertile couples are often very confused when they go to IVF doctors , because they get widely varying different opinions , and they're not sure whom they can trust.There are many reasons why IVF doctors don ’t agree with each other.For one thing, our IVF technology is still not perfect, which means we still cannot even make an accurate diagnosis, and have to label many couples as having “unexplained infertility” because we cannot clearly and accurately identify the underlying problem.Because no one really knows what the truth is, everyone interprets tests the way they want, based on their experience and preconceive...

Please don't abandon your embryos !
As IVF technology gets progressively better, we're able to grow more eggs and create more top quality embryos. Now we can't transfer all the embryos at a time, because of the risk of a multiple pregnancy, which means patients are left with supernumerary (spare ) embryos. We encourage all patients to freeze their spare embryos , because each embryo is worth its weight in gold.Our technology for freezing and storing embryos using the technology of vitrification has become so good that survival rates after thawing are practically 100%, which means the pregnancy rate with these embryos is as good as with fresh embryos ! A...

Why testing for failed embryo implantation in IVF patients is useless
One of the big problems with IVF is the uncertainty which surrounds it – no one knows which cycle will work, or why perfect cycles fail.What makes a bad problem even worse is that patients have unrealistic expectations of the technology. Sadly, doctors compound the problem by pandering to the patient's demands. They offer to provide answers by running many expensive, complex, exotic and esoteric tests, even though they know the reality is that these don ’t provide any useful information.This is because embryo implantation is a complex biological process, which we cannot control and we cannot monitor, and we still don't...
