If you’re thinking about IVF (In Vitro Fertilization), you may have heard many things, but not all are true. Let’s clear the confusion. Here are six common myths about IVF, and the real facts you should know, explained in simple, easy English.

Myth 1: IVF Always Results in Twins or More

People often worry IVF leads to twins or triplets,that is no longer common.

  • Today, fertility experts prefer single embryo transfer to reduce risks. Most clinics now transfer one embryo unless medically indicated. 
  • In the U.S., twin rate with IVF is around 12%, and triplets are below 1%.
  • At Shubham Hospital, we focus on healthy singleton pregnancy for better mother and baby safety.

Myth 2: IVF Is Only for Women with Fertility Issues

Actually, IVF helps many groups,not just women with fertility problems.

  • Male issues like low sperm count or poor motility are common reasons for IVF. Procedures like ICSI (injecting sperm into egg) help. 
  • Fertility preservation (like freezing eggs) is also an IVF use. Same-sex couples and single parents use IVF too.
  • At Shubham Hospital, we treat each couple’s situation individually,we are inclusive and patient-focused.

Myth 3: IVF Is Always Painful and Risky

Many are afraid IVF injections or procedures are very painful,but that’s not accurate.

  • The daily hormone injections are small needles, like insulin shots. They’re well tolerated.
  • Egg retrieval happens under sedation (you sleep), so you don’t feel it. 
  • Risks like OHSS (Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome) exist but are rare and managed well at good clinics.
  • Shubham Hospital’s team monitors you closely and supports you throughout to keep risks low.

Myth 4: IVF Babies Are Less Healthy

Some think babies conceived via IVF are unhealthy,but studies show otherwise.

  • Research shows IVF babies are as healthy as natural babies. IVF doesn’t increase birth defects by itself.
  • Earlier concerns were often due to higher rate of multiples or maternal age,not the IVF procedure. 
  • At Shubham Hospital, we ensure your IVF journey is safe,our clinics follow global safety standards and use supportive care.

Myth 5: IVF Is Only for Older Couples

IVF is often thought of as solution only for older couples,but it’s useful at other ages too.

  • While success rates decline with age, even younger couples choose IVF for medical reasons like PCOS, tubal blockage, or male factor infertility. 
  • Waiting too long can reduce IVF success. Starting in mid-30s can be more difficult. 
  • Shubham Hospital offers professional evaluation and gives advice tailored to your condition and age,without bias.
