Unexplained infertility how successful is IVF and what can couples realistically expect?
1 month ago
My wife and I have been trying to conceive for over 3 years without success, and repeated fertility tests show no clear reason. Our doctor has suggested IVF as the next step. I am anxious and scared because I’ve heard it’s a long process, and I am worried about whether it will actually work for us. How successful is IVF for couples like us, and what should we realistically expect?

IVF success varies depending on factors such as age, egg quality, sperm health, and underlying conditions. For couples with unexplained infertility, success rates are generally moderate, with many achieving pregnancy within 2–3 cycles.
Couples should expect regular monitoring, injections, and hospital visits, which can feel overwhelming emotionally and physically.
Realistically, IVF is not guaranteed, but it significantly improves chances when other treatments haven’t worked. Being prepared mentally, having a supportive partner, and discussing expectations with the fertility specialist can help reduce anxiety and make the journey more manageable.
