Busting myths about pregnancy through IVF amid the pandemic
It has been quite stressful for aspiring parents to grasp how Covid-19 vaccine may impact conception through IVF. Busting myths and resolving some vital queries on the same is Dr Shivani Sachdev Gour, MBBS, MD obstetrics and gynaecology, DNB -medical genetics.
MYTHS
- I should get vaccinated once my child is born
- The vaccine impacts my chances of getting pregnant through IVF
- There is a decline in the success rate of IVF amid the pandemic
- The vaccine can cause an infection in the foetus
What is the impact of Covid-19 vaccination on IVF?
Initially, pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers were excluded from vaccine study trials, generating fear among mothers-to-be. But once studies were conducted in the US on mRNA vaccines, no side effect was found in the child. Pregnancy shouldn't be delayed if you're not vaccinated yet. If you're pregnant and recently got vaccinated, there is no risk of abnormalities or abortion. Taking the vaccine doesn't hamper chances of conceiving through IVF.
Did pregnancy through IVF get impacted by Covid-19?
When the pandemic hit, there was an abrupt halt to IVF cycles, egg donors, surrogate mums, and an increase in frozen cycles. The worst impacted were aspiring mothers above 40, as treatment through IVF was on a break. But, as we had so many gametes and eggs frozen, when we resumed treatment a year ago, the first treatment done was for frozen embryo cycles. Success rates were similar to pre-pandemic times.
What is your advice to those considering IVF now?
If you've had Covid-19, wait for three months before you try to conceive through IVF. But this gap isn't needed if you're getting vaccinated, as vaccine does not impact the IVF procedure. But remember, even after the vaccine, people get sick. So, don't get lax. IVF clinics also have procedures in place to ensure safety. Clinics are restructured, patients have to sign a form stating they don't have symptoms akin to Covid-19.

عن أنس بن مالك رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: ((إن في الجنة لسوقا يأتونها كل جمعة فتهب ريح الشمال فتحثوا في وجوههم وثيابهم، فيزدادون حسناً وجمالاً, فيرجعون إلى أهليهم وقد ازدادوا حسناً وجمالاً، فيقول لهم أهلوهم والله لقد ازددتم بعدنا حسناً وجمالاً، فيقولون: وأنتم والله لقد ازددتم حسناً وجمالاً.)

How to Find a Legal, Safe, and Low-Cost Surrogacy Clinic in Delhi
If you’re unable to conceive naturally, surrogacy is the
best assistive reproduction option for you. Over the past decade, surrogacy has
become extremely popular among Indian couples. However, both traditional and
gestational surrogacy procedures are expensive. You must
find a low-cost surrogacy clinic in Delhi to receive
affordable surrogacy services.
Here’s a complete guide to finding legal, safe, and
cost-effective surrogacy services in Delhi -
KNOW YOUR COSTS BEFOREHAND
Couples must know what bills they’ll have to pay for surrogacy services. In India, the cost of surrogacy in India ranges from Rupees 15, 00,000 to 20, 00,000 (between $20,000 - $30,000). The costs vary from clinic to clinic based on -
- The surrogacy doctor’s experience
- The clinic’s average success rate
- The location of the clinic
- Medications - IVF drugs, hormonal treatment for the surrogate mother, etc.
- The number of consultations and investigations
carried out by the surrogacy doctor.
If you opt for gestational surrogacy, your costs may be
higher. You can end up paying anywhere between Rupees 10, 00,000 to 17, 00,000.
KNOW WHAT YOU’RE PAYING FOR THE SURROGATE
At every low-cost surrogacy clinic in Delhi, the couples/individuals receiving the surrogate children are held responsible for the costs of –
- Finding the ideal surrogates
- The procedures required to impregnate her
- Caring for their health throughout the duration of their pregnancies
- Screening tests
- IVF Process
- Insurance for the surrogate
- Post-delivery care for at least three months
- Delivery of the baby
- Personal toiletries
- Blood tests, MRI scans, etc., before, during, and after the pregnancy
- Medication before, during, and after the pregnancy
- Embryo transfer
- Egg collection
- Medications, injections, etc.
A clinic may charge the couple separately for -
- Donor eggs or sperm (if needed)
- Costs of harvesting the donated eggs or embryos
- Extra care in case the surrogates develop medical complications during/after pregnancy.
- Medications, injections, etc. that are given to
the babies’ post-birth
Couples or individuals must assess these costs before
signing any contract with a low-cost surrogacy clinic in Delhi. Review
different fertility clinics. Assess what services are worth the money and pick
the fertility clinic that offers the best value proposition.
WHAT SERVICES SHOULD YOU EXPECT TO A BEST SURROGACY CLINIC IN DELHI?
Here are some vital services that no individual or couple
should compromise on while selecting surrogacy clinics. These services and
procedures are crucial for safeguarding their health.
Early Screening:
Make sure the clinic has strict medical screening requirements for all
surrogates. The surrogates must go through blood tests, saline sonograms,
COVID19 tests, STD tests, and more. Some high-end surrogacy clinics even offer
psychological testing to surrogates.
Medical Tests for
Intended Parents: Intended parents have to undergo infertility treatments
to ensure they can create healthy embryos with their eggs/sperm.
IVF Transfer Preparation: Once the surrogates and the intended parents are cleared for the surrogacy process, they must go through strict preparation processes. This includes –
- Preparing the intended mother’s womb for egg harvesting
- Synchronizing the egg donor’s (intended mother) cycle with the surrogate’s cycle for hassle-free IVF transfers
- Pregnancy testing after the embryos has been transferred to the surrogate mother’s uterus.
- Blood and hormone level tests to verify the
pregnancy.
WHAT TO AVOID
Make sure to avoid these loopholes when searching for a low-cost surrogacy clinic in Delhi –
- Fertility clinics that offer unclear budgets; make sure the fertility clinic doesn’t charge you for extra services once treatment has begun.
- Avoid all clinics that could be involved in illegal practices (e.g., conducting commercial surrogacy)
- Incomplete surrogacy contracts. Such contracts
can lead to the surrogate refusing to hand over the baby post-birth.
Prospective parents must be cautious and well-informed when searching for fertility clinics. Take your time before signing a contract.
