What Everyone Should Know About IVF: Expert Insights from Dr. Sahar Wertheimer of HRC Fertility Beverly Hills

If you’re researching IVF treatment in Los Angeles, you’ve likely come across a lot of information — and just as many misconceptions. At HRC Fertility Beverly Hills, Dr. Sahar Wertheimer, MD, FACOG, brings both clinical expertise and compassionate care to every patient she sees. As a double board-certified specialist in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility, Dr. Wertheimer recently spoke with Authority Magazine to share some of the most important things she wants IVF patients to understand.

Here are 5 things Dr. Wertheimer believes everyone should know about IVF:

  1. IVF is a powerful tool, but not a guarantee.

    Many people assume IVF automatically results in pregnancy, but the truth is more nuanced. IVF success rates vary depending on age, diagnosis, and overall reproductive health. Some patients may conceive after one cycle, while others may need more than one attempt.

  2. Every IVF cycle is different.

    Even when following the same protocol, outcomes can vary from cycle to cycle. A patient may retrieve fewer eggs one round and have better results the next. Dr. Wertheimer reminds patients that this is completely normal and part of the IVF journey.

  3. Be cautious about unproven IVF “add-ons.”

    From endometrial scratching to embryo glue, many optional IVF treatments are marketed without strong scientific backing. Dr. Wertheimer encourages her patients to ask evidence-based questions and avoid unnecessary procedures that may not improve outcomes.

  4. IVF can be physically and emotionally intense.

    Hormone injections, procedures, and long waiting periods take both a physical and mental toll. That’s why Dr. Wertheimer always encourages seeking support — whether from a fertility therapist, support groups, or loved ones.

  5. Male infertility matters too.

    Roughly 50% of infertility cases involve a male factor, yet many people focus only on the woman. Comprehensive fertility evaluations should always include both partners to ensure the most effective treatment plan.
