On Regulation Of The Transfer Of Embryos
- There is a restriction on the number of embryos being transferred during IVF: This is a much-needed welcome move. The ART Act says fertility specialists shall transfer 1-2 embryos depending on the patient’s medical condition. However, only in exceptional circumstances, such as advanced maternal age, multiple miscarriages, and recurrent implantation failure, three embryos may be transferred. This is typically done to promote the mother’s and baby’s health and safety. For these reasons, the ideal outcome of IVF is a single healthy baby, which can only be achieved by transferring one healthy embryo at a time.

Symptoms
Signs and symptoms of Premature ovarian failure might include:
- Genetic (if the girl’s mother has attained menopause at a very early age, then she is also likely to have less ovarian reserve)
- Difficulty in getting pregnant.
- Age group: Early 20s & early 30s due to genetic predisposition
- Treatment: A doctor may recommend hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to reduce the symptoms of POI. Doctors can discuss several options if a person with POI wants to become pregnant.
Case study- A 21-year-old girl, married for seven months, came to Dr Priyanka Reddy as she was trying to conceive, but she couldn’t due to irregular menses. Upon AMH tests and other scans, the team figured out the cause was the low ovarian reserve. The patient was suggested Hormone Replacement Therapy, which is the most common treatment for women with premature ovarian insufficiency.
