Age and fertility

Fertility is the ability to achieve pregnancy by an individual and it is a known fact that such ability starts to decrease with the increase in the age of the individual. However, it is hard to tell when this happens as the exact age for reduced infertility differs from individual to individual. Sure there are some cases where the couples have conceived despite their old age but that happens rarely.

In some cases, the couples intentionally postpone pregnancy due to career reasons, not ready to take the responsibility of the child, or due to some unforeseen events that force them to conceive at a later age in life. Age is one of the most crucial factors impacting the fertility of an individual. In women, the ability to make healthy fertile eggs declines as she ages and on the other hand, men also face difficulty producing high motility sperms after a certain age. However, the rate of decline in fertility is greater in women as compared to men.

Generally, women over 35 and men over 40 deals with the problem of infertility and fails at achieving pregnancy despite multiple attempts of trying to do so. When in doubt your stage of fertility it is better to consult a fertility specialist as he can advise you the best as to the actions to take in order to have a child at an old age. He may recommend you undergoing methods of assisted reproduction where they employ a technique to effectuate fertilization without requiring the aid of a human body.

Age of the woman and egg-quality

When a woman is born she has all the eggs in her ovarian reserve that she will ever require in life. But with the increase in her age, she experiences diminished quantity and quality of the eggs as the years go by. The decreases quantity of eggs means the decrease in the chances of her attaining pregnancy. Therefore, there are fewer chances of pregnancy after you reach 30 and the chances become even fewer after the age of 45-50. But there is always hope as pregnancy does naturally happens in some cases and is possible for anyone if they undergo fertility treatments such as IUI, IVF, etc.

A woman is considered to be highly fertile before 30 and after the age of 30, her fertility begins to decline. The rate of decrease in fertility increases considerably after the age of 35 and when she reaches 40, the chances of her achieving pregnancy are cut-down to more than half.

Age of the man and sperm-quality

The age of the man also affects the fertility men above the age of 40 have less chances of making their partner pregnant as they become inefficient at making healthy sperms with the decrease in their age. A man produces millions of sperms each day but man over 40 produces less quantity of sperms due to many reasons. Both the quantity and motility of the sperms starts to reduce with the increase in the age of the man.

However, in some instances, it has happened that men with age 80 and 90 have become a father, but again, that is a rare case and there are certain things associated with the whole scenario that lead to the attainment of pregnancy.

Also, the average of the couple also matter when it comes to achieving pregnancy as most of the time there is a huge age gap between the couples. For instance, the risk of a miscarriage happening is greater in women (even if she is 25) trying to conceive with a male partner who is over the age of 40, due to the old age of the male partner.

What to do in order to conceive at an old age?

If you have been trying to conceive for a long time and do not see any hope of getting a child, then it is the time to get yourself checked by a fertility doctor. The potential reason behind such inability can be your old age, bad-quality eggs, low motility sperms, or any other specific reason that can only be identified after you visit a fertility clinic. Some of the infertility cases can be cured with fertility medicines, while the more severe cases demand the use of fertility treatment such as IUI, IVF, ICSI, IMSI, PICSI, Surrogacy, etc.

What is a low sperm count?

Low sperm count is the inadequate quantity of sperms found in the seminal content of a man. When the sperms present in the semen is less than the normal sperm count, then the man is considered to have a poor or low sperm count. The low sperm count also impacts the motility and shape of the sperms that makes it nearly impossible for the man to make the woman pregnant due to the non-availability of healthy sperms.

The condition is also known as oligospermia and is one of the most common reasons behind male factor infertility. The low sperm count leads to partial or complete fertility in men as the sperms are not sufficient enough to reach and penetrate the egg and thus, preventing the woman from getting pregnant. Also, it is observed that a low sperm count is a reason behind around 50% of infertility cases caused due to male factor infertility.

It is also a cause behind infertility as it prevents the couples from achieving pregnancy and thus, giving them the tag of infertility. The number of sperms in the seminal fluid is determined by a process called semen analysis in which the male partner with problems in his sperms, provides his semen sample for diagnosis during the process of semen collection. The obtained semen sample is evaluated by the doctor for analyzing the morphology, motility, and quantity of sperms.

The semen analysis aids in ascertaining both the quantity and quality of the sperms and the process is executed in a pathology lab. If the results of the semen analysis show that the levels of sperm count have to be at least 10 million to 15 million sperm per milliliter of semen and anything lower than that is considered as a low sperm count.

How to tell if you have a low sperm count?

If you are trying to conceive for more than a year and the issue behind such inefficiency to conceive is not identifiable yet, then it is time to go for a sperm diagnosis. To find out your sperm count, you have to visit a fertility clinic where a doctor will ask you to provide the semen sample for the process of semen analysis.

Attaining pregnancy despite the poor quantity of sperms- some tips to increase your sperm count

For improving fertility and sperm count, there are some tips and tricks you can use. It is not certain that the tips will definitely improve the sperm count but the individual will experience an enhanced sperm count for sure.

It is crucial to have a healthy diet rich in antioxidants and vitamins as it helps in improving the sperm health of the patient. The man with a low sperm count should consume foods rich in antioxidants, fruits, and vegetables, for increasing the sperm count.
Cut down the consumption of alcohol. Alcohol has proved to reduce the sperm count and negatively impact the fertility health of the man.
The man should have a balanced BMI as being overweight affects the sperm count. BMI of the man should range between 23 to 25 for assuring a healthy sperm count.
Also try various multivitamin supplements such as folic acid, Vitamin E, CoQ10, Vitamin C, etc. Ingesting such supplements will definitely aid in improving fertility and will provide better chances of conception.

However, if none of the tips improve the sperm count, then the couple can go for IVF or other fertility treatment for having a baby. They can use the sperms receive from a sperm donor that can be used in the process of the fertility treatment to effectuate pregnancy.

It is the first fertility treatment option that comes to the mind of the infertile couples before they go for more advanced ART techniques such as IVF. There are certain that you should consider before going for the IUI treatment such as your age, your current health condition, your previous medical records, etc. Out of all the factors, another most important factor is the cost of the IUI treatment and the fertility centre that offers affordable IUI treatment alongside maintaining the quality of the treatment.

The process of IUI is quite simple when contrasted with procedures of other fertility treatments such as IVF, ICSI, IMSI, etc. However, IUI aids in treating mild to moderate cases of infertility and the severe cases require more advanced methods of assisted reproduction. The direct insertion of sperms into the uterus substantially increases the chances of fertilization as the sperms bypass certain stages involved in the natural method of attaining conception. The purpose of IUI is to enhance the number of sperms that reaches and enters the egg, which also significantly increases the chances with which a woman achieves pregnancy.

Natural IUI Cycle

The single cycle of IUI involves the direct placing of sperms into the woman’s uterus via the cervix. But before that, the sperms have to be obtained from the father or a sperm donor. The father has to visit the clinic for providing his semen sample from which the doctor separates the high-motility sperms from bad-quality sperms and uses them for insemination. This is a natural IUI cycle as it is performed by following the natural ovulation cycle of the woman and does not involve any fertility medicines for triggering ovulation.

IUI cycle with Clomid

The second type of IUI cycle is performed with the help of a fertility medicine called Clomid. This medicine is used to induce ovulation in women who due to many reasons do not ovulate properly. The use of Clomid enables the woman’s ovaries to produce the desired quantity of eggs that are required for promoting a healthy pregnancy.

IUI cycle with Gonadotropins

The third type of IUI treatment is with Gonadotropins, which is fertility medicine containing FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone) are given along with other fertility medicines when the medication does not work alone. This medication is given in a form of injection and once the surge in the LH hormone is noticed, the doctor begins the IUI treatment.

How-Natural-IVF-Cycle-Differs-from-the-Standard-IVF-Cycle.jpg

Natural IVF Cycle and Standard IVF Cycle

IVF is one of the most effective assisted reproductive technologies performed to assist the couple in achieving parenthood other than natural means. It is done when a couple deals with the problem of infertility, which is a condition that impairs the ability of a couple to produce their own child even after recurrent attempts of conceiving for about a year. During the IVF treatment, the eggs and the sperms are fused in a lab for effectuating fertilization and achieving pregnancy. This is an extensively performed fertility treatment for curing the issue of infertility. There are two types of IVF cycle, natural IVF cycle, and standard IVF cycle, differentiating only on the method by which eggs are attained for the process of fertilization.

In the standard IVF cycle, the fertility drugs and medication is given for triggering her ovulation cycle. The fertility medicines help in producing a better quantity of fertile eggs, which are essential for a healthy pregnancy. After obtaining the eggs, the sperms are collected from the male partner for fertilizing the egg. The eggs and the sperms are combined in a laboratory setting. The fertilization leads to the formation of embryos. At last, in embryo transfer, the embryo is implanted into the recipient’s uterus.

Whereas in the natural IVF cycle, fertility drugs are not used for stimulating the woman’s ovaries. The woman’s body on her own selects the best-quality eggs, which reaches maturity after 7-10 days of the ovulation cycle and retrieved from the woman’s ovaries in a process called embryo transfer. In the natural IVF cycle, the egg retrieval is a simple procedure as there is only one egg that is retrieved from the ovarian office. Sometimes, the egg retrieval can be performed without giving pain medication to the woman as the process takes about 5-10 minutes to complete. Afterward, IVF treatment is performed in the traditional way.

The main reason why a woman opts for natural IVF cycle is that it reduces the cost of the IVF treatment as fertility medicines are not used in this process. Also, some women may experience discomfort with the fertility medication as their body may not respond effectively to the medication. At Go IVF Surrogacy, we have the best fertility and IVF experts having over three decades of experience in performing the finest quality IVF treatment with effective results. Our fertility experts comprehensively examine the patient’s condition and provide the best fertility treatment according to their requirements. They perform natural IVF cycle treatment or standard IVF cycle whichever treatment best suits the condition of the patient.

Difference between Natural IVF Cycle and Standard IVF Cycle

The main difference between a traditional IVF cycle and a natural IVF cycle is that in the traditional IVF cycle, fertility medicines are utilized for inducing the ovulation cycle of the woman so that her ovaries can produce a better quantity of fertile eggs. This helps in ensuring high chances of success in the IVF treatment as the medication triggers the production of multiple eggs. On the other hand, in a natural IVF cycle, there are no fertility drugs or medicines used and the natural egg is retrieved from the woman’s ovaries. The retrieved natural egg is mixed with the sperms in a lab and accordingly, fertilization occurs and an embryo is formed. This embryo is implanted inside the uterus of the woman and consequently, she gets pregnant within two weeks.

In the natural IVF cycle, the risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome is less in comparison to the conventional IVF cycle. It is a more effective treatment method involving fewer complexities. During the natural IVF cycle, few fertility medications are given to the woman, which reduces the chances of multiple egg production and multiple pregnancies. It is a low-cost treatment as the cost of the fertility drugs and medications gets eliminated.

The patient undergoing the natural IVF cycle faces less risk as the treatment does not involve the use of high medication. The natural IVF cycle treatment is sometimes also performed in conjunction with the other types of fertility treatments such as ICSI, IMSI, as it helps in producing better results in the fertility treatment.

Infertility is when a couple is unable to bear pregnancy due to various reasons and there are a plethora of reasons that contribute to such inefficiency. Amongst various reasons imbalanced FSH levels adversely impact the fertility in a woman as they play a major role in determining if you would be able to get pregnant or not. Fluctuation in FSH levels indicates the number and quality of eggs in your ovaries. For a healthy pregnancy to occur, it is crucial for a woman to have the best quality and adequate quantity of eggs, which is determined by her FSH levels. However, it is not essential that the FSH level is the only factor that helps in assessing whether you could conceive and a woman may be able to conceive if she does not have balanced FSH levels.

Go IVF Surrogacy is a prominent medical tourism company in India that works in collaboration with highly proficient fertility specialists with over 30 years of experience in providing the finest quality fertility treatment. They effectively work to diagnose the root cause of infertility and advise the most suitable course of treatment in accordance with the condition of the patient. Our team at the concerned network hospital provides comprehensive assistance to the patients for ensuring that they receive success in the fertility treatment.

What is FSH?

FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone) is a hormone released by the pituitary gland responsible for controlling the functions of ovaries and testes. Inefficient functioning of these hormones can cause serious reproductive issues when it comes to pregnancy and fertility. It is one of the two gonadotrophic hormones, another is a luteinising hormone, and both the hormones are produced and released by the pituitary gland, which is situated below your brain. FSH is crucial for reproductive development and effective functions of the woman’s ovaries.

The FSH aid in regulating the menstrual cycle of a woman and the speed and efficiency with which ovaries produce eggs. There is fluctuation in the FSH levels while a woman is on her periods and reaches its peak when a woman ovulates. On the other hand, FSH helps in managing healthy sperm production, however, imbalanced FSH levels is rarely an issue that men deal with. Balanced FSH levels imply a healthy and perfect functioning of male and female sex hormones.

FSH and Infertility

The uneven FSH levels negatively impact a woman’s fertility as it diminishes her ovarian reserve. High levels of FSH mean that there is a problem in the development and maturity of eggs. Diminished ovarian reserve is the term for mild to moderate FSH levels and indicates that a woman’s ovaries make less than required eggs for pregnancy. One of the symptoms of increased FSH levels is the short duration of a menstruation cycle.

FSH levels are a great indicator of the possibility of achieving success with infertility treatments such as IUI or IVF. Apart from impacting natural pregnancy, high FSH levels also indicate that fertility treatment may not produce desired results as the fertility medication may not be effective or undergoing the IVF or other fertility treatment may result in failure. The number of eggs in your ovaries is mutually related to your FSH levels during the second and third day of your menstrual cycle. A high FSH level implies less quantity of available eggs.

FSH level test is done on usually the second or third day of your menstrual cycle, where blood is obtained from your vein through injection. The test helps in accurately assessing your reproductive and ovarian health but however, an FSH test is not helpful when it comes to finding the exact cause of infertility.

What different levels of FSH indicate?

If it has been more than a month since a woman’s menstrual cycle has occurred, then the probable reason behind high FSH levels is menopause, where a woman’s menstrual cycle permanently ceases to exist. The ovarian failure makes it impossible for a woman to get pregnant via natural means. Females having high FSH levels may not benefit from the fertility medication as well because it may not help in stimulating a healthy egg production due to high FSH levels. However, there will be some fertile eggs but a fertility treatment may not bear the expected results as a large number of quality eggs are required for ensuring great results in IVF or other types of fertility treatment.

Low FSH levels are usually due to issues in the effective functioning of the pituitary gland, which is a critical part of the brain performing the important role of managing the functioning of your reproductive system. Whereas a normal FSH level indicates the better chance of a woman achieving pregnancy and have a reproductive system highly responsive to fertility medication and fertility drugs.

At Go IVF Surrogacy, our fertility specialists efficiently diagnose the patient’s condition in order to suggest the best suitable fertility treatment. They make sure that you get desired outcomes in your fertility treatment and receive a great treatment experience at the concerned hospital provided by our medical tourism company.

Conscious-about-your-fertility-potential-Things-you-need-to-know-1200x1250.jpg

To know whether a male or female facing fertility issues, the specialist will go over some sexual history, health history, any past medical problem, how often the couple involves sexual intercourse and some other relevant information.

A male has to undergo a physical evaluation test and if recommended then the male has to go for a semen analysis test too- these tests clarify the specialist to know the root cause behind his infertility (if there is any). Semen analysis test is a test performed to know if there are any issues in a male’s fertility system. If the sperm is found non-motile, inactive or very less in the count then the specialists will further look for the treatment suitable for his case. We are going to discuss the most preferred fertility treatment options for males (females also) as this page goes down.

Talking about the female fertility diagnostic tests, the specialist starts questioning about female’s any past medical history if any surgery she has been undergone; a physical exam and a pelvic exam is carried out. The specialist makes sure that the female is ovulating properly and releasing the eggs from her ovaries without any barrier. Specialists also take blood tests to evaluate hormonal levels. If necessary, female’s uterus and fallopian tubes are examined by specific X-ray tests and ultrasound.

Approximate 70-80% of females have a common issue behind their infertility with their ovulation issue or have blocked fallopian tubes. Males have sperm issues (such as inactive, less motile, low count of sperm or morphologically unfit sperm). In 5-15% of infertility cases, the cause is unknown or idiopathic.

Women facing ovulation issues can be solved by fertility medication but if a woman faces severe infertility issues such as painful menstrual cycle, irregular ovulation (or menstruation for the past few months), then she needs to undergo advanced fertility treatment options to have own baby. The same goes for males if a male experiences mild male factor infertility, then by the help of IUI treatment he can impregnate his partner.

What are your Fertility Treatment Options- Let’s have a look

Thanks to the advanced medical technology, this has opened many gates for the childless couples to get their baby by different fertility treatment options. Several Fertility Treatment Options are available to eradicate the couple’s infertility issue such as –

Women who are unqualified to supply with healthy eggs during the egg retrieval procedure of her IVF treatment, donation egg is the best option to go for. During egg donation, an egg donor undergoes all the medications until the completion of her egg pick-up process.

Surrogacy –

Surrogacy is the best option in the ART technique and is used by those couples, wherein the female partners are unable to carry the baby in the womb due to any uterine issue (or removal of the surgery- Hysterectomy).

Positive-Pregnancy-Test-When-Did-I-Conceive-1200x607.jpg

If you get your pregnancy test positive, the next question in your mind is that when I conceive a baby. It is very difficult to tell the exact day or date when you get pregnant. Even if you had intercourse one time during your cycle and became pregnant, it is possible that the day when you had intercourse was not the same day you conceived. That is the reason that men sperm can survive inside your vagina for up to five days after you had intercourse and it will wait for an egg to become available during ovulation.

How to Calculate the Conception Date?

It is impossible to calculate the exact conception date, but it is possible for your fertility experts at Go IVF Surrogacy to calculate a nearby time in which you would likely to be conceived. If you are thinking that when you conceived than the best clues are to use the last date of your periods.

Generally, most of the fertility experts calculate the pregnancy date based on your last menstrual period. If you have a regular cycle which means you get your periods around 28 days then you can estimate that your ovulation will take place around day 14 of your cycle.

So, now you can easily figure out that when you conceived and how far along you are, you just need to think back to your last period and add 14 days from your first day of menstruation. In this way, you can use this data to estimate that when you may have conceived and also you can count from there how far along you may be. For example, if your fertility expert says that you are 8 weeks pregnant then based on your last period, you can count 14 days from the first day of your last period and can use this date as your conception date.

Knowing this, many couples start thinking that conception dates are accurate. It is difficult to say, as it has been noticed that the fertility expert will give you the pregnancy date based on your last period even though you would not have been pregnant that day. This is the reason that it becomes because to pinpoint the exact conception dates. Many women know the conception window and they use this information when making pregnancy and medical decisions because they are the ones who can be rather accurate considering ovulation that will occur in a shorter period.

However, the women who are dealing with abnormal cycles or fertility issues such as PCOS or endometriosis for them it is difficult to pinpoint the conception dates.

When Does Conception Take Place?

The exact moment when the conception will take place is not clear, but it begins when a sperm burrows into the women’s egg within 24 hours after ovulation. Some study says conception will take place when men sperm meets women egg, and the other says it will take place when the combination of sperm and egg implant into the women uterus.

What are the Symptoms during Ovulation?

The following are the symptoms that occur at the time of ovulation and these are:

a) Cervical fluid changes: This is a symptom of ovulation in which your cervical mucus will be clear and stretchy just like egg white.

b) Change in cervix texture and position: The study says that during ovulation the cervix is open and this is a time when it becomes softer and it’s positioned goes up to a higher level.

c) Mild bloating: It has been found that there is a rise in estrogen levels before ovulation and this will trigger the release of LH (luteinizing hormone). This surge in hormones is a cause of water retention and it leads to feelings of bloat.

d) Mild cramping: Some women feel a twinge on one side of their lower abdomen and this will only last for a few hours.

e) Changes in basal body temperature: It has been found that after the women ovulate, there will be a rise in temperature has seen. In this case, women need to track their basal body temperature over several months to predict when ovulation occurs.

f) Light spotting: This is a symptom of ovulation which rarely occurs, but some women may experience light spotting when they wipe. In such cases, the bleeding should not be heavy, red, or last more than a few hours.

How to Track the Menstrual Cycle?

According to the study, the menstrual cycle will last from 26 to 35 days. This is a time when few things occur and these are:

Days 1 to 7: You will have a period and this is a time when your uterine lining is shed if there is no pregnancy found.
Days 10 to 14: This is the time when you are fertile or you ovulate when an egg is released from your ovaries. This is a time when the chances of conceiving are high.
Days 15 to 35: This is a stage; if you get pregnant them implantation will take place. This stage is also known as the luteal phase.

This is an average cycle for many women and for those women who have irregular monthly cycles, for them, it is difficult to calculate the ovulation period and there is no real way of calculating that when ovulation will take place for them without some type of hormone testing, which can be done with an over-the-counter ovulation predictor kit or blood test.

How to Calculate Due Date?

On average, a baby born 40 weeks after the first day of the last menstrual period. This is the way your fertility expert will calculate the gestational age. This will include the two weeks before conception when a woman is not pregnant and it is usually based on a 28 days cycle, and these days need to be adjusted for longer or shorter cycles. But, even with adjustments, it has been found that less than 30% of women deliver the baby on their calculated due dates, so it is normal if women give birth two weeks before or after the estimated due date.

So, a couple, especially a woman has to learn the way to handle frustration, time lag during IVF treatment, shock, grief, and discomfort; apart from it, she also needs to know how to carry self-confidence and positivity all through the way of IVF treatment.

Since the baby born after IVF will not only be associated with Mother but father too, therefore you both have to work as a team.

If you both understand each other, neither the relationship suffers nor you will get into unnecessary arguments during the medication. Try to understand the emotional bond and support, which is indispensable throughout IVF treatment. It is usually observed that the couples having infertility avoid talking or discussing any matter with their close ones, friends or relatives. Make sure to communicate with positive people because they not only guide you the best but also they can calm your anxiety and worries.

However, a relationship is one of the biggest strengths during the couple’s IVF treatment. Each couple, who is settling on this treatment, should keep in their mind that nothing is more central than you and your partner’s relationship.

Meanwhile, you have your family by your side- The principal of your life. Share each and every feeling with your family member, have a chit-chat with your close ones. Communicate as much as you want, surround with those people whose opinions and views are positive. You can also consult with a specialist about the side-effects of the fertility medication, in order to cope up with that situation.
