When Fertility Treatments Fail

When Fertility Treatments Fail

What happens when fertility treatments fail? This, of course, is one of the biggest concerns when considering fertility treatment. Mainly because it can be a big financial burden but it also can be a huge investment in time and needless to say, an emotional roller coaster. Because there are no guarantees with fertility treatment, Dr. Bayrak explains common scenarios of what and why things may go wrong.

To make things easier to understand, Dr. Bayrak breaks down treatments into 3 broad categories. The first, surgical treatments that treat issues such as: ovarian cysts, fibroid, polyps in the uterus, scar tissue in the pelvic area, endometriosis, etc. He discusses what happens when surgical treatments don’t work and what the next steps should be. Second, he talks about medical treatments such as Clomid, Femara, egg quality, IUI (Intrauterine Insemination), etc. (For detailed information of IVF in particular, check out our other episode called, Failed IVF). Finally, he talks about what to do when an egg donor or surrogate options do not work.

As always, there are many other factors that we didn’t cover in this episode so we encourage you to speak with your local fertility specialist about your specific case.

Why is Embryo Freezing Right for You?

Why is Embryo Freezing Right for You?

Today we are discussing Embryo Freezing, which offers couples the option of delaying starting a family for medical or elective reasons, and involves the storing of an embryo or fertilized egg. It is achieved by stimulating the ovaries to produce viable eggs, retrieval of the eggs, fertilization in a lab, and finally the cryopreservation of viable embryos. The embryos are thawed and implanted when the patients are ready, with a high rate of success for giving birth to a healthy baby.

If you have any questions for Dr. Bayrak, or topic suggestions, please email: info@laivfclinic.com and put the words, “My Fertility Questions” in the subject line.

Egg Freezing: When is the Best Time for it?

Egg Freezing: When is the Best Time for it?

Our podcast topic is Egg Freezing, a procedure that offers women the ability to have a family in the future. It was developed in the 1980s, and along with IVF, has revolutionized childbearing by giving women the option of delaying pregnancy for medical or elective reasons. The process consists of the preservation of mature eggs following hormone stimulation. Today, advanced techniques and freezing methods are used that result in high survival and fertilization rates. 

If you have any questions that you would like Dr. Bayrak to answer on the podcast, or topic suggestions, please email: info@laivfclinic.com and put the words, “My Fertility Questions” in the subject line.

After medical school, Dr. Bayrak carried out research in reproductive medicine focusing on the initiation of egg growth and delaying menopause at the State University of New York.

What You Need to Know About Your Declining Egg Reserve

What You Need to Know About Your Declining Egg Reserve

Delaying pregnancy until you’re in your 30’s, or even early 40’s, doesn’t automatically mean you won’t have success. Everyone’s biological clock works differently. However, you are more prone to low egg reserve as you age. Unfortunately, most women are not aware of their low reserve of eggs until they attempt pregnancy. In this episode, we talk about egg reserve at different stages of life. We also talk about egg quality and lifestyle changes you can do to increase your chances of pregnancy.
