I'm really worried because my wife recently went through an IVF procedure at a fertility center in Chennai after we tried the IUI process 9 times due to my low sperm count but had no success. I've heard that IVF can sometimes fail, and I'm concerned about whether going through this process multiple times could affect my wife's health. Can you help me understand why IVF might not work and if repeated attempts could cause health issues for her?

failure will be there in IVF as they don't literally inject sperm in to egg , and every procedure will have its own risk , but you need to seek the the reason behind last failure

I'm diabetic and have been for about 45 months. My latest HBA1C reading came back as 5.6, and I'm trying to understand what that really means. Also, I noticed my mean blood glucose level is 122 mgdL. Could you explain if that's considered normal or not? I'm a bit concerned and would love some clarity.

normal hba1c is 5.6 and if your fasting is 122mgdl then it comes under pre diabetic range
