I've been dealing with irregular periods for about 7 years nowthey only happen every 6 or 7 months. In an ultrasound, they found out I have polycystic ovaries. I'm worried about how this might affect my health and future. Can you help me understand what's going on and what steps I should take?

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
