IVF Success After 10 Years of Infertility

When Society Added to the Pain

Shanta Dhami Khatri and Subra Khatri are Nepalese citizens even though they live in Darjeeling. Shanta was unable to conceive during the early years of her marriage. Consequently, her neighbours and society disparaged and snubbed her. This made Shanta sorrowful, and with that, her husband was also not happy in his daily life. Also, her dream of becoming a mother was looking far-fetched.

An Unsuccessful IVF Journey In Darjeeling

They decided to consult an IVF specialist in Darjeeling. After undergoing treatment in Darjeeling, they could not find any favourable outcome. Now, they were losing hope by the day. However, they decided to give another chance to their dream of becoming parents. Subra Khatri started browsing the internet for the reliable IVF centre in Siliguri while also asking friends and family. He came across the NewLife Fertility Centre.

A Fresh Fertility Assessment at NewLife Fertility Centre

As soon as they came to NewLife Fertility Centre in 2025, they could once again feel that their dreams could be achieved and, god willing, in much less time. They wanted a complete reassessment of their fertility situation and a treatment plan customized to their specific needs. At NewLife, the IVF professionals conducted a comprehensive evaluation of their past tests, treatments, and medication, their bodily changes, and the correct treatment plans as per their situation.

Treatment Under Dr. Prasenjit Kr. Roy

Shanta Khatri received treatment from Dr. Prasenjit Kr. Roy, one of the trusted IVF doctors in Siliguri. Dr. Prasenjit carefully analyzed her treatment journey and the factors that could have contributed to difficulty conceiving. Instead of repeating the same treatment that she received in the past, Dr Prasenjit tailored a personalized treatment plan as per his diagnosis. The couple was counselled about the available options, the expected outcomes, and the different stages involved in the fertility treatment.

However, they extended their heartfelt gratitude for the support and guidance they received.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Is IVF still possible after 10 or more years of infertility?

Answer: Yes, IVF is possible after 10 years of infertility. The number of years of infertility does not make a difference. What matters is the couple’s current age, egg quality and ovarian reserve, sperm factors, uterine or tubal factors, previous treatment history, and the underlying cause of infertility.

Q. Does age affect IVF success rates?

Answer: Yes, age is one of the most important factors that affect IVF success rates. As the age of women ( who are providing the eggs) increases, the number and quality of eggs decline. With greater age, the risk of chromosomal abnormalities in embryos also increases. This reduces the chances of implantation and increases the risk of miscarriage. Hence, IVF success rates using a woman’s own eggs reduce with age.

Q. How many IVF cycles are usually needed to succeed?

Answer: There is no fixed number of IVF cycles that every couple needs. Some couples deliver the baby in the first cycle, while others may require 2-3 cycles. The chances of success depend on the woman’s age, egg reserve and quality, sperm quality, infertility diagnosis, embryo development and previous IVF history.

Q. What tests are done before starting IVF treatment?

Answer: Before starting the treatment, the fertility team conducts a fertility assessment of both partners. The tests depend on the age of the couple, previous IVF treatment, and the suspected cause of infertility.

Q. Can couples who have almost given up hope still become parents?

Answer: Yes, couples who have given up hope can still become parents. However, the possibility depends on factors like age, egg quality and ovarian reserve, cause of infertility, sperm health, previous treatments, and overall reproductive health.
