If you are seeking treatment for your infertility, it is important to understand which infertility treatment options have the highest success rates. In addition, it is important to understand how the specifics of your situation can affect your chances of success - and what can be done to boost your chances. IVF is the most successful fertility treatment, and often helps couples get pregnant when other infertility treatment options have failed. It can be especially successful when combined with other procedures.

IVF - One of the Most Successful Infertility Treatment Options

IVF is one of the most successful infertility treatment options, and has a powerful ability to address a wide range of fertility problems affecting both men and women. It is often only tried after treatments such as IUI have failed, but in some cases it is best to turn to IVF as the first course of treatment because of how much more effective it is than other available procedures.‍

Ancillary Procedures to Boost Chances of Success

‍Depending on the nature of your infertility and your response to past treatments, your doctor may recommend a number of ancillary procedures to help boost your chances of success with IVF. Some of the most common ancillary procedures include:

• Donor eggs or sperm - IVF may be performed with donor eggs or sperm if one partner does not have viable gametes.
• Egg hatching - Instead of collecting mature eggs, the doctor can collect immature egg follicles and attempt to mature them in the laboratory if necessary.
• Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) - Embryos can be tested for certain genetic diseases and abnormalities before they are selected for transfer, reducing the risk of miscarriage and genetic disease.

Factors that Influence Success

‍Although IVF is one of the most successful infertility treatment options, it is not successful in every case, and there is no guarantee of success even for couples who, on paper, seem to be great candidates for the procedure. Some of the factors that have the biggest influence on success include:

• The skill of the doctor
• The age of the woman
• The number of barriers to fertility present
• A history of recurrent miscarriage
