FAQ
HAVE SOME QUESTIONS?
IVF treatment side effects vary from patient to patient. However, reactions to medications may include skin irritation at the injection site, abdominal bloating, headaches, breast tenderness, and nausea.
The length of time varies according to both your individual protocol (decided by your doctor) and your individual response. In general you need stimulation injections for 10 to12 days.
We normally recommend 1 or 2 normal periods before a second cycle. This allows your body (especially your ovaries) to return to normal, and the team to assess your previous cycle to see if anything needs to be done differently the next time around.
No, unfortunately not. It is our standard practise to transfer 2 embryo’s. This increases your chance of having twins by 20% but does not guarantee it.
No, the chance of falling pregnant with IVF is very much age dependant. In women below the age of 35 years the success is close to 50% per attempt, but it then drops rapidly and women of 42 years has less than 10% chance of falling pregnant with her own eggs. A woman that uses donor eggs will have 60%-70% chance per attempt.
