Why do I keep failing IVF?
IVF can fail due to embryos that have chromosomal abnormalities. This means that the embryo has a missing, extra, or irregular portion of chromosomal DNA. The body then rejects the embryo and this results in IVF failure.
How common is repeated implantation failure?
Around 5\% of women are expected to suffer from two consecutive pregnancy losses, almost 75\% are due to an implantation failure, and therefore are never recognized as clinical pregnancies [3]. This review aims to examine biochemical pregnancy, RIF, and the related issues in patients undergoing ART.
Why do some IVF cycles fail?
One of the most common reasons as to why an IVF cycle fails is due to the quality of the embryo. Many embryos are unable to implant after transfer to the uterus as they are defective. Embryos that look healthy in a lab may have defects that cause them to die rather than grow.
How is recurrent implantation failure treated?
Once an abnormality associated with implantation failure is recognized, treatment options should be considered to include uterine septectomy, removal of intra-uterine adhesions, endometrial polypectomy or myomectomy (particularely the submucous type), and excision of hydrosalpinx.
Does stress cause IVF to fail?
Looking at physiological and psychological stress during IVF, it found that stress doesn’t negatively affect IVF outcomes. Cortisol samples were taken on egg retrieval and embryo transfer day. The highest stress levels were, unsurprisingly, on egg retrieval day.

Why do good embryos not implant?
The lining of the uterus is receptive to the embryo for only a brief time, called the Window of Implantation. It is possible that a perfectly normal embryo might not implant because the lining was not ready for it. In natural cycles, the window may be 4-5d wide, but in our treatments in can be only 12-48h long.
Which round of IVF is most successful?
The cumulative effect of three full cycles of IVF increases the chances of a successful pregnancy to 45-53\%. This is why NICE has recommended 3 IVF cycles as it is both the most cost effective and clinically effective number for women under the age of 40.
What happens when IVF doesn’t work?
