What every IVF patient needs to know

It always worries me when I see patients who have done IVF cycles in other clinics, but have no idea about what the doctor did; why did he did it; how many eggs they grew; and how many embryos were transferred. This bothers me , because we all know that the success rate of an IVF cycle is not 100%, but the more the patient knows about the IVF treatment, the better their chances of getting the right treatment . If they are armed with the right information, they will be able to select the right doctor; ask the right questions; choose the treatment option which is correct for them, rather than blindly accepting everything the doctor says. Also, doctors are much more willing to share information with patients who are proactive and well-informed.

This is why it's so important that you invest time and energy in finding out as much as you can about IVF before starting a cycle. And yes, this can be complicated because the medical terms can be foreign and intimidating.  To help you master some of the jargon, so you can ask your doctor intelligent questions, we've created the world's fist infertility chat bot, Naima.
