Treatment of couples' infertility problems is always on an individual basis. Although all the staff at Jetanin Hospital is always to give the maximum of professional expertise to each couple in order to give them their best chance of success but 100% success rate is still far from expectation.

Although at times the road may seem long , keep in mind that success and a healthy baby may be right around the corner. Here are the recent data of our center :

Side Effects of Treatment

The medications and procedures used in ART are rarely associated with complications. However , some potential problems may occur such as multiple pregnancy and ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome.

Multiple pregnancy is much more common in women undergoing fertility treatment where the ovaries are stimulated to produce more than one egg.

Studies show that multiple pregnancies are associated with an increased risk of miscarriage and premature delivery. Replacing no more than two or three embryos would reduce the risk.

Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome ( OHSS ) is an uncommon condition which can occur whenever ovarian stimulation is used and is a consequence of producing a large number of follicles. The symptoms of OHSS are the result of fluid accumulation within the abdominal cavity causing distension , discomfort , nausea and sometimes difficulty in breathing. In extreme cases hospitalization is necessary. OHSS is potentially very serious but can be avoided by careful monitoring and at present it is unlikely to happen.
