IVF is preferred by people for a number of reasons, such as fertility issues or when one couple has a pre-existing health condition. Some people will try IVF if other treatment options haven't worked for them or if they're past the prime of pregnancy. IVF is an additional reproductive option for same-sex couples or people who want to become parents on their own.
Why it's done: IVF is an effective option if you or your partner experiences any of the following health conditions or circumstances:
-
Tubal Issues: Fallopian tubes that are blocked or damaged.
-
Endometriosis: Endometriosis affecting reproductive health.
-
Male Fertility Factors: Low sperm count or extra sperm abnormalities.
