Can you get pregnant during IVF stimulation?

IVF experts of the best IVF center in Delhi – Gunjan IVF World pen an interesting article on pregnancy during IVF stimulation.

IVF treatment is a journey of hopes and difficult times. It is important for couples to stay positive to sail through the journey and achieve a successful pregnancy. IVF experts of the best IVF clinic in Ghaziabad – Gunjan IVF World share an article on pregnancy and IVF stimulation.

What happens during IVF stimulation?

“Most couples ask us a question – can they get pregnant during IVF stimulation? Well, the answer is – yes, but such cases are very rare. During IVF stimulation, a woman is administered fertility medications like FSH or hMG to stimulate her ovaries. This leads to production of multiple eggs. This is done to retrieve eggs for fertilisation in a laboratory setting,” said Dr. Gunjan Gupta, well-known gynaecologist and Founder & Director of Gunjan IVF World – the best IVF clinic in Ghaziabad. Gunjan IVF World is the three times winner of North India’s best IVF clinic chain by ETHealthWorld and has four highly advanced clinics at Indirapuram, Janakpuri, Noida and Meerut.

Why does natural pregnancy happen during IVF stimulation?

“Natural pregnancy can happen during IVF stimulation. This happens because ovulation may happen prematurely even before egg retrieval. If a couple has had unprotected intercourse and sperm is present, then natural conception can occur. In rarest cases, dominant follicles might ovulate even while others are being stimulated,” stated Dr. Garima Sharma, Centre In-Charge and Consultant at Gunjan IVF World, best IVF centre in Janakpuri.

Can natural pregnancy during IVF stimulation cause any problem?

“Yes, it might cause problem. Natural pregnancy might interfere with the treatment cycle. There are chances that it may also lead to an ectopic pregnancy, which is a serous medical condition. Hormone levels from pregnancy might affect the IVF medications or protocols,” added Dr. Gunjan Gupta.

What to follow?

“We advise patients undergoing IVF treatments not to have unprotected intercourse during stimulation, unless a fertility expert has directed. Also, it is best advised to abstain from having intercourse or use condoms to avoid unplanned pregnancy,” mentioned Dr. Garima Sharma.
