Help is at hand Care IVF

The advise of well wishers and neighbours maybe correct but it maybe hardly professional; inaccurate and it may do harm. There are countless stories of people who have been advised either to have intercourse only once a month as more frequent intercourse would lead to twins or by some to have intercourse every two hours as it would facilitate pregnancy. Am sure you can understand the plight of these hapless couples.

Your age and the age of your partner may indicate the need for haste in meeting an Infertility Expert and carrying out basic investigations. If you are 19 years old, only married for 6 months and already worrying pregnancy, your worries are probably unnecessary and rather premature. If on the other hand you are 19 and have fewer than 8 periods per year, then an early appointment becomes sensible. At the other extreme, more and more women are sadly delaying their attempts to start a family well into their 30's as they are committed to their careers. Female fertility begins to decline after the age of 30 and more rapidly from the age of 35 years.


It is important to note that appropriate treatment plans for individuals and couples with ethical or religious concerns can be developed in consultation between couples and our consultants.

Contrary to the sensational coverage often portrayed in the media, today's reproductive technology treatment plans are safe, usually highly effective, and sometimes surprisingly simple. For example, despite all the media attention, only 3% of infertile patients undergo the most sophisticated treatments of In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) or Gamete Intra Fallopian Transfer (GIFT). Most infertile patients can be helped with less involved treatment.

It is best therefore to consult an Infertility expert who is also a Reproductive Endocrinology specialist at the earliest since he is best trained and experienced in tackling this particular problem of Infertility. If you have been trying to start a family without success, you're not alone - around one in six couples have problems conceiving. But don't panic, as there's a lot that can be done to help you.
