IVF - Need some advice

Hello,

I am tryiyng for children for last three years and i am unable to concieve.

Recently we went to infertility specialists and they recommended us to go to

IVF.My husband sperm motility is 42%( normal it sholud be greater then 50%)

and strict morphology is 4%.(Borderline).Our insurance does not cover this

tests.what alternative steps we should follow to cover these treatements.

Different thoughts are coming to my mind wheather i will be successfull with

IVF or not.

I am eager to know if any one are successful with this type of situation.

Please let me what i need to do to prepare for iVF.

Hi,
Dont worry there are lots of options today...
Have you ever thought of doing IVF in India, there in India it is equally good as it is in USA.

I have heard Dr Malpani in india is very good and lots of people go to him from here.You can also research some other good Doctors on the net.

Keep praying.
All your prayers will be answered sooner or later.

Hi everyone,

Pulse Women's Hospital

all the best,

Hi Sandhya,

You are right, most of the health insurance do not cover feritility treatments. Especially IVFs work out to be very costly if you start spending from your pocket.

I agree with SBC that you should think of IVF treatment in India. A friend of mine went through this last year in G G Hospital in Chennai and she consulted Dr. Kamala Selvaraj (Gemini Ganesan's daughter) and she is blessed with a girl baby now. Normal pregnancy and normal delivery. This Doctor seems to be a stalwart in this field of OB/Gyn and also a lady with lucky hands is the belief.

Here is the link for that hospital - GG Hospital Chennai, Dr.Kamalaselvaraj Obstetrician and Gynecologist. Try to consider this hospital.

Good luck to you. Do not worry, we wish you come back to share the announcement of your new arrival sooner.

Hi Sandhya,
The idea to try IVF in India is good. There are other options too. Why don't to consult andrologist or urologist what causes your husband's problem and is it curable. Some times small expanded testicular veins can lead to low fertility in man. And it is completely curable.

Other idea I can sugest you to ask about IUI instead of IVF, usually people start with this before going to invitro as it is less harmful for the women and also much less costly.

Hi Sandhya,

You are right , those infertility treatments in USA are very expensive. As suggested by IL's India is a less costly in this regard. My sister in law couldn't concieve for seven years. She recently had a baby girl, my precious niece got concieved through IUI procedure though. She is 25 days old now and healthy baby. Even cost is expensive there too but compertivly to US in India its much less expensive. But I don't know if you and your husband can spare some extra time to stay in india. Which you both have to decide. My sister in law dr name is Bala, she is iInfertility specialist in sector 21, chandigarh. She is very famous doctor. Some knowing families had a succssful case from that doctor, so my sister in law got treatment from her also and by god's blessing they are blessed with child. Wish you good luck. As far I have did search in US no insurance company covers Infertility treatments. Good luck and baby dust on you.
