Is undergoing IVI safe and will it increase pregnancy chances?
Patient: Good evening doctor,   I am 36yrs old now and trying to concieve my 2nd baby. As per my doctors advice I have to undergo IVI to concieve as my husbands sperm count is very low. Please advise is this procedure safe and will it increase my chances of pregnancy and also if I will deliver a healthy child.  thanks and regards Doctor: Hi,Welcome to HealthcareMagic. IVF is quite safe procedure so don't worry. Since your husband sperm count is low IVF increases chances of pregnancy.  Here healthy sperms are fertilised with egg and put into uterus. So problem of low sperm count is reduced as hardly they need 4 to 5 healthy sperms. Once embryo is transferred and you conceive it is same as like normal pregnancy and you will complete it as normal pregnancy only. You will give birth to healthy baby as they screen embryo for many diseases and put only healthy embryo.  The chances of abortion , normal delivery and any pregnancy complications are same for IVF  and normal conception. Hope I have been helpful .RegardsDr.Deepika Patil
