The more information there is, the more myths appear. Below we clarify the 5 myths most often encountered in consultations, one by one.
Myth 1: More Expensive Means More Successful
Cost and success rate are not simply proportional. A suitable protocol matters more than an expensive one.
Myth 2: You Can Choose the Sex Freely
Under almost all compliant frameworks, sex selection is permitted only for medical needs and is strictly limited—never "customized on demand."
Myth 3: One Cycle Is Guaranteed
IVF is affected by many factors—age, ovarian reserve, embryo quality—and there is no such thing as a "guaranteed success."
Myth 4: Frozen Embryos Are Worse Than Fresh
Vitrification is a mature technique; in many cases pregnancy outcomes with frozen-embryo transfer are comparable to or even better than with fresh embryos.
Myth 5: Overseas Is Always More Lenient
Compliant institutions also have strict indications and ethical review; "anything goes" often signals high risk.
