1) "IVF uses up your eggs and causes early menopause."
IVF collects eggs that would naturally be lost that month. It does not reduce your ovarian reserve or bring on menopause earlier.
2) "IVF reverses the biological clock."
IVF uses the eggs you have today—it cannot improve egg quality, which naturally declines with age.
3) "IVF always works on the first try."
Success depends on factors like age, egg and s***m quality, embryo health, and the uterus. Some conceive in one cycle, others need more.
4) "IVF babies are less healthy."
Research shows IVF babies are generally as healthy as naturally conceived babies. Most risks relate to infertility, not IVF itself.
5) "A fertility specialist will only recommend IVF."
A good specialist first finds the cause of infertility and discusses all suitable treatment options. Early consultation gives you more choices.
