Quotes
Dr Neelam Suri
Senior gynecologist at Apollo Hospitals, Delhi
“While advances in reproductive medicine have significantly improved success rates, IVF does not always lead to pregnancy in the first attempt. For many patients, repeated cycles are an expected part of treatment rather than an exception. IVF is best understood as an evolving treatment process rather than a one-time intervention.”
