Questions to Ask Before Starting IVF – A Guide by Dr. Murugapriya, Felicity Fertility Center

Starting IVF is an important milestone in your fertility journey. At Felicity Fertility Center, Dr. Murugapriya believes that asking the right questions before IVF brings clarity, confidence, and peace of mind. Proper guidance helps couples understand the treatment process, reduce anxiety, and make informed decisions at every step.

This guide highlights the most important questions to ask before IVF, helping you prepare better, understand your options, and plan your treatment with confidence.

1. What is our exact diagnosis and how does it affect our chances?

Understanding your diagnosis is the foundation of IVF treatment. Dr. Murugapriya will clearly explain whether the concern relates to egg quality, sperm factors, hormonal imbalance, tubal issues, or unexplained infertility. Knowing this helps couples understand why IVF is recommended and what outcomes to expect.

2. What tests are required before starting IVF?

Pre-IVF testing helps create a personalised treatment plan. These tests may include hormone profiles, AMH testing, ultrasound scans, and semen analysis. Reviewing results early ensures accurate medication planning and smoother cycle progression.

3. Can you explain the IVF process step by step?

A clear explanation reduces fear and confusion. At Felicity Fertility Center, the IVF process is explained in simple terms—from ovarian stimulation and egg retrieval to fertilisation, embryo development, and transfer—so couples feel prepared and confident.

4. What are the success rates based on age and condition?

IVF success depends on several factors, including age, diagnosis, and embryo quality. Dr. Murugapriya provides honest insights into success rates and helps couples set realistic expectations while choosing the best treatment approach.

5. What are the possible risks of IVF treatment?

While IVF is safe, it is important to understand potential risks such as ovarian hyperstimulation, multiple pregnancy, or cycle cancellation. Open discussion helps couples make informed decisions and feel reassured throughout treatment.

6. How many embryos are transferred and why?

The number of embryos transferred plays a key role in success and safety. Felicity Fertility Center follows evidence-based practices, often recommending single embryo transfer when appropriate, to balance success rates and minimise risks.

7. How should we prepare physically and emotionally for IVF?

Lifestyle factors matter. Patients receive guidance on nutrition, stress management, sleep, exercise, and habits that support fertility. Small changes can positively influence treatment outcomes and overall well-being.

8. What medications will be used during the cycle?

Understanding IVF medications helps patients feel more in control. Dr. Murugapriya explains the purpose, dosage, and timing of each medication, along with possible side effects, ensuring transparency and comfort.

9. What happens if the cycle is not successful?

Discussing alternative plans in advance helps couples stay emotionally strong. Options such as frozen embryo transfer, protocol changes, or additional testing are explained clearly, ensuring couples know the next steps.

10. How accessible is the medical team during treatment?

Support and communication are essential. At Felicity Fertility Center, patients receive consistent guidance, timely updates, and easy access to the care team throughout the IVF journey.

Preparing for Your First IVF Consultation

Before your visit, keep the following ready:

• Previous medical reports and test results
• A list of questions or concerns
• Menstrual cycle history
• Financial and treatment-related queries
• A partner or family member for support

Being prepared helps make your consultation productive and reassuring.
