Treatments
At times, without really knowing a person's medical history, you start believing that if they suffered Early Menopause after the IVF treatment, that applies to all. Well, that’s not true for all. Every woman has a unique IVF journey, and there should be no takeaway for others.
While reading online or socializing, you often encounter misleading information based on a one-time experience.
If you suffer from infertility issues and plan for treatment, the best way is to consult the doctor and avail of the right treatment plan for your condition. Also, if you have any queries, you can ask the fertility specialists before believing the myths.
Presently, if you are concerned about whether IVF Treatment can lead to premature or early menopause, a good read of the blog can give you all the answers.
Before we get onto the reasoning if IVF can lead to early menopause or not, we first need to understand,
Premature menopause refers to a lack of ovarian reserve due to which the menstrual cycle stops in women before reaching their 40s.
If women face Menopause Symptoms Age 40, it is usual. However, if someone gets to bear the signs and symptoms before that, that can be a concern. It is because premature menopause limits the concentration of reproductive hormones estrogen and progesterone, which either reduces female fertility or may cause female infertility.
During the IVF procedure, eggs are retrieved for embryo formation. So, people readily believe the myth that IVF reduces ovarian reserve and leads to early menopause. However, that’s nowhere close to reality.
In reality, during the IVF Procedure, the hormonal activators or injections are used to mature the eggs speedily for a few menstrual cycles, but that does not reduce the number of menstrual cycles. So, there is no question of Early Menopause due to the IVF procedure.
In a normal menstrual cycle, the reproductive system in women produces around 10 to 20 egg follicles, out of which one egg matures, and the rest of them are wasted.
During the IVF Treatment, fertility drugs stimulate all the eggs to mature not one but 10 to 15 eggs simultaneously. The number of eggs that leave the body remains identical, so in no way it can lead to Early Menopause.
During the IVF Treatment, the hormonal optimization can lead to symptoms that are alike perimenopause and menopause. It is the reason why many people consider it premenopause.
There exist multiple overlapping symptoms between Early Menopause and hormonal stimulation during IVF Treatment. Some of the common ones include:
All the above-stated symptoms of IVF are similar to the signs of Early Menopause or Menopause, but no studies or research prove that IVF leads to Early Menopause.
IVF Procedure helps women conceive, be it before menopause or after menopause. In no way it can cause menopause or reduce female infertility.
The above blogs details all the information busting the myths about whether or not IVF can lead to Early Menopause. In case you face any of the symptoms of menopause after the IVF Procedure, consider talking to the gynecologist. They will help you discover the root cause of the issue and, if required, will prescribe some diagnostic procedures to understand the cause of Early Menopause.
Also, it is possible that you might face irregular periods post-pregnancy (which is possible for both IVF or Normal Pregnancy), so do not reach any conclusion without consultation.
