When you are told that IVF is a viable option to achieve your dream of parenting, your mind starts running with questions and you want the answers to be quick and immediate.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Knowledge is the key to enhancing your success, so do your research thoroughly, talk to your doctor and take some time to consider information on the first steps.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the meantime, we have listed some of the most frequently asked questions with some quick answers, to give you an idea of what to expect\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What exactly is IVF?<\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

In vitro fertilization is the process of fertilization by combining an egg and sperm in a laboratory tube and then the process is completed by transferring the embryo to the uterus.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How long does IVF last from start to finish?<\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

An IVF cycle can take up to 2 months to complete. However, each person is different and your doctor will discuss the best plan for you. Treatment schedules should be adjusted based on how each patient responds to their medications.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Do I need a leave of absence as soon as I start treatment?<\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

During arousal, you should make an appointment at your clinic every other day to monitor the development of follicles and hormone levels. The follow-up phase can take up to 10 days, so you may need to take a few days off from work, and although this is not necessary, you may also want to take a few days after the embryo transfer is complete.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Will there be a huge amount of drugs and injections?<\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

The amount of medicine and the frequency of injections are different for each person.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You will be given medicines in the form of nasal spray or daily injections to suppress your ovaries. Once the adjustment reduction is complete, you will be asked to inject follicle-stimulating hormone and ovulation daily through small needles. The needle is very small and most women are surprised at how painless daily shots are. The next day after recovering the eggs, you will be given supplements or progesterone injections.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Will drugs affect me mentally and physically?<\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Not everyone suffers from side effects. However, you will receive hormone injections, as a result of which you will feel strong emotions during the treatment. It is not uncommon for women to experience headaches, night sweats and mood swings during the procedure. During arousal, you may feel bloated and slightly uncomfortable.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What can I do to prepare for my IVF?<\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

You can plan three months in advance because an egg cycle lasts 90 days, so what you eat, drink, breathe and the health of your bloodstream can affect egg health. So it makes sense to give your body the nutrients it needs.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It is equally important for men to make a plan to increase fertility and enhance sperm health at least 2-3 months before injecting sperm for IVF.<\/span><\/p>\n
