Frequently Asked Questions about infertility and its
treatment
Welcome to the frequently asked questions (FAQs) section
of IVF-infertility.com. We have included questions and accompanying
answers related to infertility.
| We have a baby with
cystic fibrosis disease and we do not want a termination of pregnancy.
We heard about a test to check the embryos before implanting them
into my womb. Can you help? |
| The test you describe is preimplantation genetic diagnosis - a relatively
new technique. The cases for its use are examined in full in the preimplantation
generic diagnosis (PGD) section. |
| When do we give up
infertility treatment? |
| There is no hard-and-fast rule who should stop trying and who
should continue. Above all this depends on each couple's deepest
desire for a child. If in doubt get a second medical opinion and
seek independent counseling. |
| How counsellor can
help? |
| This is fully described in the counseling
section of the site. |
| Does IUI hurt? |
| The IUI procedure is fairly painless. Some women may experience
a mild cramp or period like pain. Occasionally it may be difficult
to insert the IUI catheter into the cervix and this can be quite uncomfortable
and painful. Painkillers can be useful if this occurs. |
