Hi there, welcome back!
There is no doubt that the IVF technology represents one of modern medicine’s success stories. Using IVF , we can help couples who could never have a baby with any other technique to start their own family.
However, there are cases where patient may ends up in a bad IVF clinic. For example, there are clinics in New Delhi that are owned by skin specialist. They may not even be a gynecologist , offers IVF treatment ! Not only are your chances of getting pregnant in a bad IVF clinic very low, you also run a major risk of losing a lot of time, money and energy.
Not only do you pour your money down the drain, you also end up losing confidence in IVF technology, thus depriving yourself of your best chance of having a baby. And when you do find out afterwards that the IVF clinic you selected was a bad one, there is little you can do about it!
Blaming yourself or cursing the doctor afterwards does not help, which is why you need to be very careful when deciding which clinic in which to do your treatment ! Caveat emptor - and this is why it’s very important that you do your homework carefully - you are making a major investment!
Fear, here are some useful guidelines to help you find the best IVF doctor are here.
#1 It’s important to be critical and careful, and not to take everything the IVF clinic says for granted. A common problem is that even bad clinics will quote high pregnancy rates because these are published in the medical literature, rather than share their own success rate.
#2 Unfortunately, many patients naively assume that all IVF clinics are equally good. They often select a clinic because it is close to them; because they charge less; or because they know of someone who took treatment there and got pregnant. Be extra careful to save you from future trouble.
#3 It can be far more cost-effective to fly down to a good IVF clinic with a high pregnancy rate, even if this does cost a little more, as your “cost per baby ” is likely to be much less, rather than to do IVF in a local clinic with a low pregnancy rate! Spend more to get assurance.
Some IVF clinics in India depend upon the services of a part-time embryologist, who flies down only once or twice a month to perform the IVF procedures. These clinics batch all their patients together, and then perform about 5-20 treatments over a period of 2 days. This can be dangerous for you !
Not all patients grow eggs at the same rate ! Suppose yours grow too slowly? Or too fast? The doctor has no choice, but to perform the egg collection on the pre-scheduled date, thus resulting in a major drop in your chances of conceiving.
Here are some simple guidelines on how to avoid and protect against bad IVF doctors and clinic. Take extra care and precaution.
