Before I became a part of embryology lab, I usually thought that IVF was for couples with high maternal/paternal age. But I was proved wrong. Many of the patients were in their late twenties or early thirties, and often a part the IT sector. That put me to thought that how one aspiration (career) can clash with other(having a child).

My time at the IVF lab was truly eye-opening , witnessing the science behind creating life, from oocyte retrieval to embryo culture, made me appreciate the precision, patience, and ethics involved in fertility care.

It’s eye-opening, isn’t it? We often assume infertility is about age, but it’s also about lifestyle, stress, and timing. The career vs. family dilemma is so real. Striking that balance feels more urgent than ever.

Correct observation! Career can be an impediment in conceiving and subsequently raising the family.
Great to know that!
So true
It also shows the infertility issues in young couples due to lifestyle
True
This is such an eye-opening insight. It’s true how career goals and personal aspirations like starting a family can often clash, especially with the fast-paced lifestyle in fields like IT. IVF has become a bridge for many, offering hope and flexibility.
Yes, Agreed. I have seen couples in 40s have a healthy pregnancy without any treatment but by just staying fit. Hence, there are many factors including age, career,lifestyle, genetics that play a vital role in fertility.
