Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Please explain to me in detail about in vitro fertilization (IVF). My sister, who is 32 years old, has been unable to conceive for the past five years. She has tried various diets and undergone some treatments for pregnancy, including receiving hormonal injections, but everything has failed. Additionally, her weight is too high, at 180 pounds. Now, the doctor has recommended IVF for her. However, her egg development is not good, so the doctor suggested using donor eggs.

What is the success rate for this procedure, and what precautions should be taken for a successful pregnancy? My sister is mentally and emotionally upset. She is eager for this pregnancy to be successful because she has already spent a lot of money and wants to have children this year. What are some healthy diets she can follow, and what precautions should be taken for the pregnancy to be 100 percent successful?

Please help.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read your query, and I can understand your concern.

IVF stands for in vitro fertilization, where eggs and sperm are fused outside the human body and then inserted into the uterus. The success rate is 50 percent. This procedure requires a lot of patience, and she should remain calm and stress-free, as stress may lead to failure and abortion. She should maintain a healthy diet, including green leafy vegetables, fruits, and dairy products, and engage in regular exercise.

I hope this information helps you. Feel free to ask further queries.

Thank you.
