Do you know about IVF treatment?

I am here to know if anybody has done IVF treatment because I'm 36 even then I have not become a mom so I am going to get IVF treatment. Could anyone help recommend some tips before treatment? Because this is kind of surreal for me.

Hi knottie, yes, a few of us here have been going through IVF and/or other fertility treatments. I'd suggest you start by finding a fertility clinic that can offer you a comprehensive evaluation and explain all of your reproductive options. It isn't always the best choice for everyone (medically, financially, ethically, etc.) so the more information you can get upfront, before making the big decisions, the better off I think you'll be.

If you'd like to hang around, get to know us, and ask more specific questions as they arise, I'd encourage you to change your username to something more unique and join in the weekly threads. We don't really do one-off posts on TTGP. Best of luck!

Thank you everyone for your valuable suggestion and I appreciate it. But my cousin, who is an IVF expert, I consulted with her and she recommended some reputed clinics and some wholesome foods that I can consume during treatment.

A few of my friends have successfully completed their treatments, and I’m currently in the process myself. The first step is to educate yourself—really dive into the details. For example, when a doctor mentions success rates, it’s essential to understand what they actually mean. These rates can refer to live births, clinical pregnancies, or cumulative outcomes. Sometimes a clinic with a 45% success rate is better than one claiming 65%, depending on what metric they're using. One of my favorite articles about the myths surrounding success rates is on the eggdonationfriends site—it’s definitely worth a read.Choosing the right clinic is also key. Ask specific questions about their experience with patients your age and with your specific condition. It makes a big difference.Stay positive—it's common for the first IVF cycle to fail, but success rates often increase with the second attempt. Also, make any lifestyle changes (diet, supplements, vitamins, etc.) at least three months before starting treatment. Above all, invest time in finding a doctor who truly understands your case and has relevant experience. Hope this helps, even just a little.
