As straightforward as the idea of getting pregnant may seem, there is still a great deal of confusion about infertility.
A survey of 500 participants, conducted by The Medical Council of India uncovers the most prevalent misconceptions about conception. When asked how long respondents assumed it would take to see a positive pregnancy test, nearly 56% thought only 3-6 months. In actuality, most will take up to a year to conceive. Fertility is often out of our control, and these false expectations can lead to disappointment and stress early on, and that can negatively impact fertility and the conception process. The survey also revealed a psychological impact from fertility issues as 38% described feeling sad or upset that others were pregnant while they were not. Although friends and family are supporting the couple’s success, not being able to give those loved ones the news they want to hear causes the same percent to feel unwanted pressure. 33% were concerned about financial barriers of fertility treatments, questioning how they would finance expensive treatments, particularly at a time they were saving for a new baby.
Clinical fertility treatments vary in price, but most procedures are not covered by health insurance and can reach well over 7-8Lacs. More than 52% thought multiple births were the number-one risk associated with in vitro fertilization (IVF), and 67% said they would not try the most invasive of the clinically fertility treatments. Surprisingly, many did not recognize the risks associated with ovulation-stimulating hormones. The high price of clinical procedures doesn’t equate to greater success rates, a component only 13% cited as a risk they associated with treatments.
The average cost of Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) is around Rs. 40,000/-, but yields only a 16-21% rate of success, similar to the 20% of cervical cap insemination, the technique the Joyce IVF Centre offers, but at a considerable lower price. Joyce IVF Centre is a low-cost IVF Centre that affords couples the opportunity to assist their chances of conception without engaging in invasive and costly treatments.
