CARDIOLOGIST,

Response :- At 29, you are well within the typical age range for considering IVF treatment. In India, the Assisted Reproductive Technology (Regulation) Act of 2021 (ART Act) sets the age limit for women seeking IVF between 21 and 50 years. Therefore, based on your age, you are legally eligible to explore this option. Regarding the safety and authenticity of IVF, it is a widely practiced and regulated medical procedure. While it is generally considered safe, there are some potential risks and side effects to be aware of, just like with any medical treatment. These can include: Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS): A rare but possible reaction to fertility medications that can cause swollen and painful ovaries. Multiple Pregnancies: IVF increases the chances of having twins or triplets, which can lead to higher risks for both the mother and babies, such as premature birth and low birth weight. Ectopic Pregnancy: A small risk of the fertilized egg implanting outside the uterus. Emotional and Physical Stress: The process involves multiple steps, including daily injections, and can be emotionally and financially demanding. The authenticity of IVF is supported by decades of scientific research and its status as an effective assisted reproductive technology (ART). The success rates vary based on individual factors, including age, the cause of infertility, and the quality of the clinic.
