When Fertility Treatments Fail
What happens when fertility treatments fail? This, of course, is one of the biggest concerns when considering fertility treatment. Mainly because it can be a big financial burden but it also can be a huge investment in time and needless to say, an emotional roller coaster. Because there are no guarantees with fertility treatment, Dr. Bayrak explains common scenarios of what and why things may go wrong. To make things easier to understand, Dr. Bayrak breaks down treatments into 3 broad categories. The first, surgical treatments that treat issues such as: ovarian cysts, fibroid, polyps in the uterus, scar tissue in the pelvic area, endometriosis, etc. He discusses what happens when surgical treatments don’t work and what the next steps should be. Second, he talks about medical treatments such as Clomid, Femara, egg quality, IUI (Intrauterine Insemination), etc. (For detailed information of IVF in particular, check out our other episode called, Failed IVF). Finally, he talks about what to do when an egg donor or surrogate options do not work. As always, there are many other factors that we didn’t cover in this episode so we encourage you to speak with your local fertility specialist about your specific case. *** If you have any questions or comments that you would like us to address in future episodes please email us at: info@laivfclinic.com More about Aykut Bayrak, MD, FACOG For more information about Dr. Bayrak and LA IVF, visit www.laivfclinic.com To request a consultation with Dr. Bayrak click here: https://laivfclinic.com/request-consultation-0/ For more information about When Fertility Treatments Fail and other topics visit our blog. *** If you enjoyed this podcast and found it useful to you or someone you know, please consider leaving a brief review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes?
