5 Common IVF Myths You Should Stop Believing: Sahi Jaankari, Sahi Faisla
Let’s be honest, jab baat family planning aur fertility treatments ki aati hai, toh hum sab thoda confuse ho jaate hain. Especially in Delhi NCR, jahan har koi alag advice deta hai. “Arre, don’t lift heavy things,” “Bed rest is a must,” “IVF is too costly”sabne kuch na kuch suna hai.
But here is the truth: adhi-adhuri information sirf tension badhati hai. If you are considering parenthood through assisted reproduction, you need facts, not fiction. At Gunjan IVF World, humara goal hai aapko sahi raasta dikhana. Let’s bust the most common IVF myths that are stopping you from your khushkhabri.
Myth 1: “IVF Bacche Artificial Hote Hain” (IVF Babies are Artificial)
Fact: Bilkul nahi! This is one of the biggest IVF misconceptions. Bas process thoda alag hai, result wahi hai—a healthy, beautiful baby. In a natural conceived pregnancy, mother’s egg and father’s sperm meet inside the body. In IVF treatment, they just meet in a lab (petri dish) under the supervision of expert doctors. Once the embryo is formed, it is placed back into the mother’s uterus through the procedure Embryo Transfer. The baby grows inside the mother just like any other normal conceived pregnancy. So, IVF babies are 100% human, 100% natural and 100% yours.
Myth 2: “IVF Ka Matlab Judwa Bacche (Twins/Triplets) Hi Hote Hain”
Fact: Not necessarily. Movies mein humesha twins dikhate hain, but reality bhaut alag hai. While IVF can increase the chance of multiple babies if multiple embryos are transferred but it is not a rule. Aajkal technology itni advance ho gayi hai ki doctors often prefer Single Embryo Transfer (SET) to ensure the safety of both the mother and the baby. Goal ek healthy baby ka hai, na ki twins. So, don’t worry, aapke control mein kaafi kuch hota hai.
Myth 3: “IVF Requires Complete Bed Rest for 9 Months”
Fact: Arre, who told you this? Ye purane zamane ki baatein hain. You don’t need to lie in bed all day staring at the ceiling. In fact, most doctors at Gunjan IVF World encourage you to continue your normal routine after a short rest period post-transfer. Light activity keeps the blood flow good, which actually helps. Bas heavy weight lifting avoid karo aur doctor ki simple instructions follow karo. You can go to the office, cook, and enjoy your life while waiting for the good news.
Myth 4: “IVF Is Too Painful to Handle”
Fact: It is mostly hype, truth kam hai. Bahut logon ko lagta hai ki IVF mein bahut dard hota hai due to injections. The truth is, modern injections are very advanced (pen-style) and hardly cause pain—mostly bas ek chinti kaatne jaisa feel hota hai. The egg retrieval process is done under anesthesia, so you won’t feel a thing during the procedure. Thoda discomfort ho sakta hai, like bloating, but “unbearable pain” is definitely a myth. Don’t let fear stop you from your dream.
Myth 5: “IVF Always Works in the First Try” or “It Never Works”
Fact: Both extremes are wrong. Sach ye hai ki IVF is a process. For some couples, it clicks in the first cycle (pehle baar mein hi success), while for others, it might take 2-3 cycles. It depends on age, egg quality, and other medical factors. Understanding the IVF success rate is important so you have realistic expectations. But remember, failing once doesn’t mean it will never happen. Patience aur sahi doctor ka saath zaroori hai.
Final Thoughts: Tension Chhodo, Expert Se Milo
Internet par har cheez sach nahi hoti. IVF facts janne ke liye, trust only the experts. If you have doubts or are feeling scared, bas ek consultation book karo. Gunjan IVF World ki team aapke saare sawalon ka jawab simple tareeke se degi.
Don’t let these myths delay your happiness. Sahi jaankari lo, aur apne sapne poore karo

What are the nutritional needs during adolescence?
Healthy habits like eating breakfast every day and not skipping meals should be emphasized. Parents who want their children to make their own eating choices should provide plenty of support and healthy meals at home. Adolescents need more calories, calcium, zinc, protein, iron, and most vitamins.
Calories
Adolescents’ energy needs depend on BMR, activity level, and the need to stimulate pubertal development. For teenagers, this means consuming more calories to keep up with their increased activity and development.
Teenage guys need more calories since they are larger and heavier than their female counterparts. They need between 2500 and 2800 calories a day to maintain their weight. However, teenage girls need roughly 2200 calories a day to maintain their weight.
Teenagers should eat lean protein sources, low-fat dairy products, whole grains, vegetables, and fruits to achieve these nutritional needs.
Protein
During the teenage development surge, protein is essential for maintaining muscular mass. Females 11 to 14 years old have a greater protein demand per unit of height than males 15 to 18 years old.
Every day, the average teenager needs between 45 and 60 grams of protein. Teenagers often consume chicken, steak, eggs, and dairy products to achieve this protein requirement. Nuts, soy foods, beans, and tofu are other good sources of protein.
Calcium
During adolescence, bone mass reaches a maximum of 45 percent. For this reason, children must have enough calcium in their diets. One thousand and one hundred and thirty-five milligrams of calcium a day is recommended for adolescents between the ages of 9 and 18. According to the American Academy of Paediatrics, milk, cheese, yogurt, calcium-fortified drinks, and cereals are the best sources of calcium for teenagers.
Iron
A lack of iron in the circulation may lead to anaemia, which can be fatal. Male adolescents need 12 mg of iron a day, whereas female adolescents need 15 mg. It’s a good idea to eat a wide variety of foods rich in iron to ensure that you’re getting enough.
Zinc
Gene expression and protein synthesis are dependent on zinc. It’s critical in adolescence since it aids in physical and sexual development. There is a link between zinc deficiency in males and stunted growth.
Fish, shellfish, and red meat are excellent sources of zinc, as are complete grains and legumes. Breakfast cereals enriched with zinc are also a good source of zinc. Its insufficiency is a common problem among adolescent vegetarians, particularly those who avoid animal products.
Vitamins
Vitamin A, B6, E, D, C, and folic acid deficiencies are common among teenagers. On the other hand, adolescents who consume the recommended daily allowance of nutrients do not suffer from vitamin deficiencies. As a supplement, you may address these needs.
Conclusion
You develop physically and socially throughout adolescence. As a result, proper nutrition throughout this time should not be underestimated. Adolescent eating decisions will have an impact on both your current and future health throughout this time.
You can talk to our nutritional experts to know about this in detail.
