Overcoming Fertility Challenges: How Can IVF Help with Low AMH, Advanced Age, and Low Sperm Count? 

The journey to parenthood is supposed to be filled with hope and love. However, many couples face fertility challenges due to low AMH, advanced maternal age, low sperm count and many other reasons. With so much uncertainty, couples are left confused and hopeless. Fortunately, in vitro fertilization (IVF) is a new hope for those left without options.   

As we celebrate world IVF Day, we recognize the importance of advancements in reproductive medicine that have reshaped fertility care. IVF has given countless families the opportunity to overcome these fertility challenges and realize their dreams of parenthood. On this occasion let us understand some of the most common challenges of infertility and how IVF is the best solution.  

What is Low AMH and How IVF Solves It?  

AMH, Anti Mullerian Hormone, tells the number of eggs a woman has. And low AMH levels can be concerning as it indicates a low egg count, which leads to difficulty in conception. In such situations, advanced IVF treatments can help optimize ovarian stimulation. Fertility specialists use personalized medical protocols to improve the chances of successful fertilization.  

In some cases, egg freezing is also an option where they can preserve their eggs for the future.  With these solutions, women can make their dreams of becoming a mother a reality.  

Advanced Age: IVF for Later Parenthood  

As couples choose to start families later in life, age becomes a significant factor in fertility. Women over 35 have an increased risk of miscarriage and having babies with genetic abnormalities. With IVF, women above 35 also have a chance of having a healthy pregnancy.  

We already talked about how egg freezing can be a good option for women. Additionally, genetic screening of embryos in IVF helps detect abnormalities before embryo transfer. This ensures that only the healthiest embryos are selected for embryo transfer. These advanced IVF techniques give older women a chance to explore motherhood at an age were getting pregnant naturally seems difficult.  

Why is Low Sperm Count a Real Problem?  

Male infertility, a stigma topic nobody speaks about. And since no one talks about it, men often feel more conscious about their fertility issues and are uncomfortable discussing or accepting it. 

Male infertility due to low sperm count is often ignored. Low sperm count can make natural conception difficult. Recent studies suggest that 40-50% of infertility cases are due to male factors.  

Through advanced IVF techniques like ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection) where a single sperm is injected directly into an egg, even men with low sperm count can have biological babies without depending on donor sperms.  

However, raising awareness, breaking the silence and normalizing conversations around male infertility is the need of the hour. 

The Impact of Lifestyle Factors on IVF Success  

A healthy lifestyle is crucial for the success of IVF treatments. Factors like diet, weight, exercise, and stress levels play a crucial role in fertility and treatment outcomes.  

In women, maintaining a healthy weight and following a nutritious, balanced diet can improve egg quality and hormonal balance, thereby increasing the chances of a successful IVF outcome. Similarly, moderate exercises are recommended by doctors for overall health. For men, following similar lifestyle changes ensures healthy sperms.  

Stress affects both male and female fertility. Chronic stress can disrupt hormone levels, so managing stress by relaxing, doing breathing exercises, or counselling can boost the chances of IVF success.
