Director-choreographer Farah Khan, who had triplets at 43 with film-maker Shirish Kunder through IVF, has encouraged couples who can’t conceive to go for the specialized treatment.

Director-choreographer Farah Khan has encouraged couples who can’t conceive to go for specialized treatment, and says she herself underwent the IVF procedure which proved to be a blessing for her.


Farah, who is married to film-maker Shirish Kunder, said they had failed attempts of trying to have a baby naturally for two years, before they went for IVF treatment. Now they are parents to triplets – one son and two daughters.

“IVF is a blessing and I am really thankful as it has changed my life. A lot of factors today make it difficult for some couples to conceive, but we have solutions in the form of treatments. And I strongly believe in IVF, it helped me conceive my angels.

“Being persistent, positive and patient towards the procedure paid off. And if IVF can change my life, it could change yours too,” Farah, who became a mother at the age of 43, said in a statement.

The 52-year-old in association with Merck, pioneers in treatment of infertility, recently released a video for the cause. It features a personal account of Farah’s journey to parenthood.

She shares a vivid recollection of her fears, challenges, doubts and ultimately her story of hope, belief and positivity towards IVF that led her to become a mother.


Merck released this video as part of their ‘Parents of Fertility’ awareness initiative that helps and supports couples in India through this journey of parenthood.

Speaking about the campaign, Anand Nambiar, managing director, Merck India, said: “We are happy to share that our awareness efforts now have a new face and voice with actor, director and choreographer Farah Khan, coming on board as a Cause Ambassador for our ‘Parents of Fertility’ digital awareness initiative.”

“Merck has taken many small steps over the years to spread awareness on infertility as we understand that seeking treatment is emotionally and physically challenging. With this video we expect to reach out to millions of couples seeking help with the message that infertility can be dealt with and one should not lose hope and seek help of specialists to fulfil their dream.”

When and where to start the IVF treatment?

Patients are confused about the time to start the IVF treatment. Should the age be considered as the parameter or the duration of the treatment? In Indian female, age beyond 35, IVF will be a better option.  More than 5 years of infertility period again strongly indicates IVF treatment . At any point, if AMH is less than 2.0, IVF is strongly indicated. In the era of IVF treatments, 3 IUI attempts are enough. Due to lack of regulations, patients are confused where to start the IVF treatment. There are no set parameters to indicate which is the best centre for IVF treatments. But according to me, the following criteria is important in a IVF centre: • More than 5 years of specialty infertility experience of the doctor. • Most latest technology with 0.3 micron clean air modular lab. • In-house and more than 5 years experience of embryology team. • Atleast one triple gas bench incubator. • Day 5 embryo transfer & freeze more strategy for all.

How can we treat zero sperm count...???

Male Infertility increased day by day in which out of 50-100 percent of patients can get pregnancy by their own sperm. 2 variety can be seen in the population :  1) problem in production 2) travelling obstruction  Maximum result and confidence can be explained to those who are having obstruction.which means there will be a obstruction from testis to ejaculation in the travelling component. So Doctor can obtain sperm by small needle aspiration. In difficult condition we can do Micro Tessa to retrieve best sperm.The most difficult scenario is problem in production. Our strong belief is to give minimum two month medical management on the basis of testosterone and estrogen. 25-30 percent can retrieve healthy sperm by a technique MicroTessa if required.we offer only Day 5 transfer and PGS & ERA in a recurrent failure and previous two abortion cases.

True Facts of IVF treatment in today’s era.

I m sharing my personal experience today that to make sure that certain wrong things are not implemented in IVF treatments . Polycystic ovary patient with one time ovarian hyper stimulation should not happen in today’s era. Because of the previous hyper stimulation patient should not accept egg donation.Early move towards IVF treatment is a future in PCOS patients. Limit number of IUI to not more than 3 attempts.When patient is having 0 count in semen analysis, they should not accept sperm donation straight forward without biopsy. 50 percent men can retrieve sperm. Micro Tesa and Micro Pesa is the latest advancement in technology. Transferring embryos repeatedly will not improve pregnancy rate. Repeated trials is not the way forward. Money binding scheme are non scientific and will promote more of unnecessary egg donation. Don’t accept egg donation quickly at any low AMH levels. It is challenging to give pregnancy at any low AMH but it requires experience and tech...
