Becoming a parent is a blessing. However, sometimes couples are unable to bear a child due to certain body complications. And with an aim to solve the infertility issues, In vitro fertilization (IVF) has paved the way. For those caught unaware, IVF is a series of procedures that helps in fertility and assists with the conception of a child. During IVF, mature eggs are retrieved from ovaries and are then fertilized by sperm in a lab.
IVF is helpful if the female has blocked fallopian tubes or other fertility issues and the man has a minor problem in his sperm count or motility. A couple should go for IVF if they have been trying to conceive for at least two years and are unable to do so.

And then at a certain age a lot of doctors told me I should opt for surrogacy. But Jay wanted to enjoy those nine months… IVF is not an easy journey, emotionally you feel drained, your health, your mental health, goes for a toss.”
In one of the episodes of Kangana Ranaut-hosted reality show Lock Upp, Payal Rohatgi revealed that she is ‘infertile’ and said she and her partner Sangram Singh even tried IVF but failed. She said, “I can’t have kids. So, I have to be fit mentally and physically, concentrate on acting and go on with life. It’s okay to not get pregnant. 4-5 saal se hum log try kar rahe hai, nahi ho raha. I think Sangram has figured out that I can’t get pregnant. Maine IVF kiya but it was not successful.”
