Hi Doc I am a 27 year old female happily married for last 4 years. My problem is one of a kind cause i have not had sex with my husband till date (although i know him since last 12 years as we had a love marriage). We definitely have physical intimacy without intercourse and masturbate to get discharged. However, i get very scared when we think of having sex and same for my husband. I definitely want to get pregnant but have a huge sex phobia. Should i opt for IVF or IUI? Can i become pregnant without sex involved? Anxiously waiting for an answer
Hi, Yes you can get pregnant through an GUI or IVF treatment without having sex. Your husband would get a semen sample by masturbation, and you will have ovarian induction therapy followed by aspiration of oocytes from your ovaries. Then fertilization will happen in the laboratory. The fertilized embryos will be transferred to your uterus after 3 or 5 days. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
