Taking the Next Step in Fertility Care
Choosing In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is a hopeful step toward parenthood, but it can also bring along many questions. One of the most common concerns is: What are the chances that IVF will work for me?
At Dr. Richa Gangwar’s clinic, we guide each couple with compassion and clarity through every stage of the IVF process. Understanding the factors that affect IVF success rates, and knowing how to improve them, helps you approach treatment with realistic expectations and renewed confidence.
What Is IVF Success Rate?
The success rate of IVF refers to the percentage of IVF cycles that result in a healthy pregnancy and live birth. On average:
-
Women under 35 have a success rate of 40–50% per cycle
-
Women aged 35–37 see a success rate of 30–35%
-
By age 38–40, success rates drop to 20–25%, and below 10% for women over 42
These are general figures, and success can vary based on individual health, fertility history, and how the treatment is carried out. That’s why personalized evaluation is essential — and a hallmark of Dr. Richa Gangwar’s best IVF care in Lucknow.
Key Factors That Affect IVF Success
Age and Egg Quality
Age is the most important predictor of IVF success. As a woman gets older, egg quantity and quality naturally decline, which impacts fertilization and embryo development. For younger women, even with mild infertility, success is often higher with fewer cycles.
Uterine and Endometrial Health
A healthy uterus and well-prepared endometrial lining are essential for implantation. At our clinic, we use advanced ultrasound and hormonal mapping to assess endometrial readiness and address any fibroids, adhesions, or infections that might interfere with success.
Sperm Health
While IVF can bypass some sperm issues (especially with ICSI), extremely low count or poor motility may affect fertilization and embryo quality. We always perform comprehensive semen analysis and sperm preparation, ensuring the best starting point for fertilization.
Embryo Quality
Embryo development depends on both egg and sperm health, as well as lab conditions. Our clinic uses high-grade lab equipment and skilled embryologists to ensure embryos are cultured in optimal environments before transfer.
Number of Embryos Transferred
While transferring multiple embryos may seem like it improves chances, it also raises the risk of complications. We follow evidence-based protocols, balancing success rates with maternal and fetal safety.
How to Improve Your IVF Success
At Dr. Richa Gangwar’s clinic, we believe that small, consistent changes in daily life can significantly improve IVF outcomes — especially when combined with expert treatment.
Prepare Your Body
Start by improving your nutritional intake, ensuring you get adequate folic acid, vitamin D, protein, and antioxidants. We offer preconception nutrition counselling to help you prepare your body for implantation and pregnancy.
Maintain a Healthy Weight
Being significantly underweight or overweight can reduce IVF success. Our clinic provides gentle weight management plans, tailored to support hormonal balance and reproductive health.
Reduce Stress
Chronic stress affects hormone regulation and may interfere with implantation. We integrate breathing techniques, yoga guidance, and emotional wellness strategies into your IVF journey to reduce anxiety and promote calm.
Follow Your Doctor’s Protocol
Every IVF cycle includes a set protocol for medications, timing, and embryo transfer. Following this plan closely — including medication schedules and rest periods — is key to maximizing success.
