Introduction

• A journey for becoming parents of a child is
  different for each couple after a few months or
  years of tying the knot. Some couples have
  children without having a plan while some have to
  struggle a lot even after making a plan for
  having a child. They dont have conception even
  after having unprotected and timed sexual
  intercourse for more than 6 or 12 months.

• Such couples must rush to a fertility expert to
  know what is obstructing them to have a child.
  After interacting with couples and going through
  the results of a few recommended tests
  screenings, doctors confirm infertility or
  genetic causes. And they suggest the best and
  most effective treatment options. IVF or in vitro
  fertilisation is one of them.
• If you have decided to have IVF treatment, you
  should have an idea or discuss with your doctor
  what you should do and what you should not do
  before, during, and after IVF treatment. This
  slideshare contains some important Dos and
  Donts for pre, during, and post IVF treatment.
