Infertile couples are often very confused when they go to
IVF doctors , because they get widely varying different opinions , and they're
not sure whom they can trust.
There are many reasons why IVF doctors don’t agree with
each other.
For one thing, our IVF
technology is still not perfect, which means we still cannot even make an
accurate diagnosis, and have to label many couples as having “unexplained
infertility” because we cannot clearly and accurately identify the underlying
problem.
Because no one really knows what the truth is, everyone
interprets tests the way they want, based on their experience and preconceived
notions, and there’s no right answer !
The second big problem is that there are two important
variables which influence the diagnosis and treatment of infertility. One is
called the “ trying time” - how long an
infertile couple has been trying to get pregnant; and the second is the fact
that the” natural history “ of untreated
infertility is unpredictable.
Thus, even infertile couples who haven't been able to get
pregnant for five years, could still perhaps get pregnant on their own, if they
continue trying.
This is why the individual doctor's personal preferences
are going to influence what the doctor advises the patient, because they are so
swayed by their personal experiences and anecdotal success stories.
Thus, some doctors are aggressive , and will advise IVF
for everyone, whereas others are much more conservative , and will want to
explore simpler options first, before advising IVF.
Patients need to recognize this subjectivity, and find a
doctor whose preference and philosophy matches theirs !
