Ans: Age is not a correlate for assessing the ideal weight.
What is your height, accordingly your weight will be assessed.
Ivf is a technique with 6 cycles as a package to try.
Some conceive in the first try itself.
Go with a positive attitude, which will make a lot of difference

Hi Doctor, I am Neha, 34 years old, a marketing professional from Mumbai. My job can be pretty stressful at times. My husband and I have been trying to conceive for the past three years without success. Recently, my gynecologist suggested we consider IVF. While I’m open to the idea, I’m also anxious about what lies ahead. Could you please explain what tests and evaluations are required before starting the IVF process? I want to know if these tests can predict the chances of success. Also, considering my hectic work schedule, should I make any lifestyle changes to improve our odds?
Ans: Hello Neha considering you are 34 years, and trying to conceive since 3 years
First of all, you both need to undergo blood test
1) Neha:
CBC, Blood Sugars, Vit B12, Vit D, Liver and Kidney screening, hormonal (TSH AND PROLACTIN), viral markers test and most important AMH LEVEL to know ovarian reserve.
Usg pelvis tp rule out fibroids, ovarian cyst
2) Husband:
Blood Sugars
Semen analysis to know about sperm count, motility.
These tests can give an idea about both. Fertility level and any particular supplements needed and chances of successful pregnancy.
Considering hectic lifestyle certain measures to be taken
1) stress management: yoga, walks, exercise, meditation
2) adequate sleep at least 6 to 7 hours
3) Adequate exercise and walks which releases endorphins , dopamine and good hormones needed for hormone circulation.
4) Good nutrition:
Contains antioxidants
Vit B6, Vit B12, Omega 3 fatty acids, iron, zinc, magnesium, calcium, Vit D, green veggies, fruits, eggs, chicken for protein
5) your gynec will advise certain supplements to be taken for additional supplements.

My name is Priya, and I’m 36 years old. I work at a school in Pune. My husband and I have recently decided to go ahead with IVF after struggling with unexplained infertility for four years. While I’m hopeful about becoming a mother, I’m also quite nervous about the ovarian stimulation process and the egg retrieval procedure. Could you please explain the potential risks and side effects of these steps? I have read about complications like ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. I want to be as informed and prepared as possible before we start this journey. Thank you for your guidance.
Ans: Hello Priya, since you are 36 years, married since 4 years, primary infertility, yes, ivf is a better option.
Many patients have lots of myths regarding ivf treatment. But with modern injections and process of egg retrieval it's not that difficult as it seems to be.
The injections which have to be given for 10 to 12 days are either intramuscular in the muscle) or subcutaneous (just below the skin). Easy to be taken. We get injections in PEN form too like insulin injection which is easy to operate and can be self-injected. The effects of the injections are till the process. It doesn't have long lasting side effects.
The main side effects:
1) nausea vomit
2) breast tenderness
3) bloating
4) headache
5) mood swings and hot flushes
6) fatigue
7) pain after egg retrieval
8) cramping
9) constipation due to progesterone therapy
10) ovarian hyperstimulation
Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) occurs when fertility drugs overstimulate the ovaries, causing them to swell and release chemicals into the bloodstream.
Symptoms:
Severe abdominal pain.
Severe, persistent nausea and vomiting.
Blood clots.
Decreased urination.
Shortness of breath.
Tight or enlarged abdomen.
To consult the doctor if above symptoms to decide if need of hospitalization
So, tat investigations and necessary treatment can be done
But with regular ultrasound and modern injections, ohss is become very rare and treatable

Dr, I’m 35 years old from Jamnagar, and my husband and I have been trying for a baby for the past year, but nothing seems to be working. I recently visited a fertility clinic in neighborhood , and after a few tests, they mentioned that I might have blocked fallopian tubes. The gynaec also talked about possible treatments like surgery or IVF, but I’m really confused and worried. Should I go for a laparoscopy to check the severity, or are there any other alternatives that could help me? I’m really anxious and just want to understand my options better before making any decisions.
Ans: History noted.
Considering your age 35 years, trying to conceive since, one year and few test done, one of which suggest possibility of tubal blockage, there are various modalities of treatment.
Firstly, you can do laparoscopy to note the severity if blockage and do tubal cannulation.
Tubal cannulation is often the first line of treatment for patients with blocked fallopian tubes because it's a non-invasive procedure that's widely available.
Tubal cannulation is a procedure that can unblock fallopian tubes and is highly successful for proximal tubal blockages, with a success rate of over 80%. However, it may not be successful for all patients and is not recommended for distal tubal occlusions.
This procedure if successful can avoid IVF procedure. Laparoscopy has…
Yes, before ivf get all your blood test, ecg, 2 D echo, xray chest to rule out any illness
Same with your husband to get semen analysis and viral markers with blood sugars to be done.
