About the Health Information

• Infertility can be emotionally overwhelming, but you are not alone. Every couple wants to know the same thing when considering IVF: “Will IVF work for me?”

  The truth is IVF success is never the same for everyone. Your age, egg quality, sperm health, and even lifestyle choices all play a role. But here’s the good news:

  When you understand what truly influences IVF success, you gain the power to improve your chances.

  At MGM Healthcare, Chennai, guided by Dr. Dakshayini (Senior Consultant – IVF), we focus on giving every couple a personalized, science-backed, and compassionate treatment plan to help them achieve parenthood.

  This blog will help you understand IVF clearly, reduce anxiety, and make confident decisions.

What Is the IVF Success Rate?

• IVF success depends heavily on the woman’s age and overall fertility health.

  As egg quality decreases with age, some women explore options like egg freezing to preserve fertility earlier.

General IVF Success Rate by Age

• Age Group	IVF Success Rate
  Under 35	45 – 55%
  38 – 40	20 – 30%
  40+	5 – 15%

Why does age matter?

• Eggs age with the woman. After 35, egg quality declines, affecting embryo development and implantation.

  If you’re unsure about your fertility health, one of the best starting points is the AMH Test, which helps measure ovarian reserve.

How the IVF Procedure Works (Explained Simply)

• Understanding the IVF procedure reduces fear and uncertainty.
  Here’s a simple breakdown:

  Step 1: Ovarian Stimulation

  Hormone medicines help your ovaries produce multiple eggs.

  Step 2: Egg Retrieval

  A short, painless procedure under light sedation collects mature eggs.

  Step 3: Fertilization in the Lab

  Eggs are combined with sperm to form embryos.

  Step 4: Embryo Transfer

  A healthy embryo is gently placed into the uterus. Many women describe this step as “quick and completely painless.”

  Step 5: Pregnancy Test

  After 12–14 days, a blood test confirms the result.

  A clear understanding of these steps helps reduce anxiety and improves your emotional readiness, one of the most important parts of the journey.

Why IVF May Fail (And How to Address It)

• It can be heartbreaking when IVF doesn’t work, but understanding the reasons helps you take the next step with clarity.

  Common reasons IVF may fail:

  • Poor egg quality
  • Low sperm count or poor sperm movement
  • Embryo abnormalities
  • Issues with the uterine lining
  • Hormonal imbalance
  • Genetic factors
  • High stress or inflammation

  The goal isn’t to blame your body, it’s to understand it better. At MGM Healthcare, we review your previous cycles (if any) and build a plan that gives you the next best chance.

IVF Success in the First Attempt - Is It Possible?

• Yes, it is possible.

  Many women under 35 succeed in their first cycle.

  But success depends on:

  • Your age
  • Egg and sperm quality
  • Your ovarian reserve (AMH)
  • Uterine health
  • Lifestyle habits
  • Emotional readiness
  • Correct treatment strategy

  Even if the first attempt doesn’t succeed, your overall chances increase with a well-designed treatment plan.

Lifestyle Factors That Boost IVF Success

• Your daily choices directly influence treatment outcomes.

  Eat a fertility-friendly diet

  Include:

  • antioxidants
  • folic acid
  • omega-3 fatty acids
  • vitamin D

  Maintain a healthy BMI

  Both underweight and obesity can affect egg quality.

  Avoid smoking and alcohol

  These reduce both egg and sperm quality.

  Reduce stress

  • High stress affects hormonal balance.
  • Try breathing exercises, yoga, meditation, or counseling.
  • Small changes can significantly improve IVF success.

  Male Fertility Matters Too

  • 40% of infertility cases involve the male partner.
  • Sperm count, movement, and shape all influence fertilization.

  With advanced techniques like ICSI, even severe male-factor infertility can be treated successfully.

• Your doctor, embryology lab, and overall care quality can significantly raise your chances of success.
