In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) has helped millions of couples around the world achieve their dream of becoming parents. Despite its success, IVF is still surrounded by myths and misinformation. At Proventus IVF we believe in empowering our patients with knowledge. Let’s bust some common myths and uncover the real facts about IVF treatment.


Myth 1: IVF is the last resort for infertility

Fact: IVF is not always the last option. Depending on the underlying issue, doctors may recommend IVF early in the treatment process—especially in cases of blocked fallopian tubes, male infertility, or advanced maternal age.


Myth 2: IVF always results in twins or triplets

Fact: Multiple births can occur, but with advancements in technology, most clinics now transfer a single healthy embryo to reduce the risk. At Proventus Nursing Home, we follow strict protocols to ensure a safe and successful single embryo transfer when possible.


Myth 3: IVF is only for women above 35

Fact: IVF is suitable for women of various ages, depending on their medical condition. Many women in their 20s and early 30s may also require IVF due to hormonal disorders, PCOS, or unexplained infertility.


Myth 4: IVF babies are not as healthy as naturally conceived babies

Fact: IVF babies are just as healthy as other babies. Numerous studies confirm that children born through IVF grow and develop normally. The process only helps with conception—it doesn’t affect the baby’s health or intelligence.


Myth 5: IVF is 100% guaranteed

Fact: IVF significantly increases the chances of pregnancy but doesn’t guarantee success. Age, health conditions, and lifestyle factors play a crucial role. At Proventus Nursing Home, we provide honest expectations and personalized treatment plans.


Myth 6: The IVF process is painful and risky

Fact: IVF involves minor procedures, most of which are painless or performed under light sedation. The risks are minimal and carefully managed by our experienced team of fertility specialists.


Myth 7: IVF is only for married couples

Fact: IVF can be an option for single women, widows, or couples from diverse backgrounds, depending on local regulations and medical guidelines. At Proventus Nursing Home, we respect and support every individual’s journey to parenthood.
