The Choice of the Elderly Couples after the Failure of IVF
IVF is an assisted reproductive technology that helps infertile couples realize their reproductive dreams. However, for elderly couples, the success rate of IVF is relatively low due to physical conditions. Once experiencing a failure of IVF, elderly couples should consider which way to choose to achieve their reproductive aspirations.
Continue to try IVF
The first option is to continue to try IVF. Although the previous attempt failed, it does not mean that the next attempt will fail. Older couples can communicate with professional reproductive hospitals to understand the reasons for the failure and try again according to the doctor's advice. It is important to maintain a positive and optimistic attitude, adhere to the treatment procedures, cooperate with the doctor's guidance, and improve the possibility of success.
Before the next IVF, elderly couples can consider some measures that may improve the success rate. For example, the adjustment of lifestyle can improve the health condition of the body, increase the nutrients in the body, and reduce the pressure on the body. In addition, new methods or technologies of assisted reproductive technology can be tried, such as the progress in embryonic biology research or the introduction of chromosome screening and embryo positive selection technology.
It is worth mentioning that cooperation with professional reproductive hospitals is very important. Choosing a formal hospital, such as the Reproductive Medicine Center of Peking Union Medical College Hospital or the Reproductive Medicine Center of Renji Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine, and other reputable and professional hospitals, can obtain more professional diagnosis and treatment programs and improve the success rate of IVF.
Consider other birth routes
If the elderly couple fails to try IVF for many times, they can consider other fertility methods. For example, surrogate or fertilized egg transfer techniques may be considered. Surrogate refers to the implantation of an embryo into the uterus of another woman, and the transfer of a fertilized egg means the implantation of a fertilized egg into a healthy uterus. These technologies can help elderly couples realize their reproductive dreams, although not in a natural way.
At the same time, elderly couples can also consider adopting children. Although not biological biological children, adoption is still a very meaningful choice. Older couples can provide warmth and care to a child in a vulnerable situation, and realize their role as parents.
Receive psychological guidance and support
The failure of IVF is a huge blow to elderly couples, who may fall into depression and disappointment. Therefore, it is very important to receive psychological guidance and support. Older couples can seek professional psychological counselors or join relevant support groups to communicate and share feelings with other couples with similar experiences. Such support can help them release their emotions, find a better way to cope, and rebuild confidence.
summary
When an elderly couple experiences a failure of IVF, they should consider the following options: continue to try IVF, use other fertility methods such as surrogacy or fertilized egg transplantation, consider adopting a child, and accept psychological counseling and support. The important thing is to continue to maintain a positive attitude and confidence, and find a suitable way to realize the birth dream.
