Many infertile women don’t do IVF even though they know that this is the one method that maximizes their chances of getting pregnant. This is because of fear.
They are petrified about the long list of side effects that they have been told IVF causes.
They know that doing IVF requires taking large doses of hormonal injections , and most women have a very confused understanding of what hormones are. They think these are dangerous, and will either cause cancer, make them fat, or irreparably damage their metabolism . They are secretly worried that the hormones used for IVF treatment will actually end up making them infertile because they will cause them to run out of eggs faster.
They know that during IVF treatment , the doctor needs to superovulate them , by growing many eggs. Their concern is simple. If I am born with a certain number of eggs , and the IVF doctor ” takes away ” 20 eggs in one IVF cycle , then I will be left with fewer eggs, and will become menopausal faster .
This is a hidden concern for many patients , and this is why we explain to patients they need to invest in Information Therapy by understanding the biological process of normal ovulation , and what we do during the IVF superovulation cycle. You can’t trust what the local “aunty” tells you, because she is often clueless.
In an IVF cycle, we use the same natural hormones your body normally produces, so that they don’t have any long term side effects. They all get eliminated promptly in your urine, once we stop giving you the injections.
You should also know that in every menstrual cycle , a cohort ( a group ) of about 40 follicles starts to grow . Of these , only one becomes mature, and the others die . This natural death of follicles is a called atresia , and it’s because of this atresia, which occurs naturally, normally and silently every month, that women start running out of eggs as they start getting older .
This is why their ovarian reserve gets progressively depleted as they get older, until they finally become menopausal . In an IVF cycle , the hormonal injections we give you only rescue the eggs that would have otherwise died in any case ! This is why IVF is not going to cause you to run out of eggs !
When you do IVF, we aren’t using you as a guinea pig ! Millions of IVF cycles are being done routinely every year , and it’s been proven to be a safe and effective treatment ! Don’t deprive yourself of having an IVF baby because you have been misled by incomplete, poor quality information.
