3. Introduction Introduction A journey for becoming parents of a child is different for each couple after a few months or years of tying the knot. Some couples have children without having a plan while some have to struggle a lot even after making a plan for having a child. They don’t have conception even after having unprotected and timed sexual intercourse for more than 6 or 12 months.

4. Such couples must rush to a fertility expert to know what is obstructing them to have a child. After interacting with couples and going through the results of a few recommended tests & screenings, doctors confirm infertility or genetic causes. And they suggest the best and most effective treatment options. IVF or in vitro fertilisation is one of them. If you have decided to have IVF treatment, you should have an idea or discuss with your doctor what you should do and what you should not do before, during, and after IVF treatment. This slideshare contains some important Do’s and Don’ts for pre, during, and post IVF treatment.
