Here are some of the more common possibilities why your IVF failed. You, and your partner, should seek support before moving forward in your treatment. Speak with Dr. Bayrak, and let him know your concerns after a failed IVF.
Seek out other treatment, or testing and evaluation, under the caring and compassionate supervision of our medical, and support staff.

When the eggs are retrieved, they are put together with the sperm to facilitate fertilization. Fertilization was not successful: In some cases fertilization simply does not occur. This can be because of the quality of the eggs, or sperm. Embryo did not implant: There are two common reasons an embryo fails to implant.
The first is because the uterine environment is inadequate to support the embryo. Possibly due to the endometrium, scar tissue, or an undetected, pre-existing issue. The second reason embryos fail to implant is often because the embryo itself has a chromosomal abnormality. Natural pregnancy was just what the Doctor ordered.
People often think that conceiving naturally is no longer an option for them once they seek fertility treatment. Nearly 1 in 5 women are finding themselves naturally pregnant within 5 years following a failed IVF cycle.
In addition to helping mold the RMA of CT brand through blogs, videos, and events, she is also a patient and has undergone many fertility treatments. Given her professional and personal involvement in the fertility community, she has immersed her mind, body, and soul in family-building education.
Follow Us. Enter that defeated, cheated feeling again… Maybe the biggest cost of a failed IVF cycle? Spencer Richlin, a Reproductive Endocrinologist at RMA of Connecticut , finds the silver lining in this study, providing you his words of both science and comfort: In Vitro Fertilization IVF is an amazing technology that has helped countless people family build. For patients who have an unsuccessful IVF cycle, I recommend: Find the right support for you, whether it's family, friends, or even a fertility counselor.
When ready, review your previous cycle with your REI. Map out a plan for next steps and decide if it includes another IVF cycle. Before your next cycle, think about adding acupuncture, nutrition, or even fertile yoga into your schedule. Once you decide what is right for you, go for it!! Spencer Richlin Hope in the Form of Data People often think that conceiving naturally is no longer an option for them once they seek fertility treatment.
Those are real statistics. Real pregnancies. Real hope. IVF implantation failure can be really frustrating and disheartening, but there are several tests and screenings available that can help pinpoint what the issue may be. Feinman outlines and explains the various test options below.
Feinman says. Another test that has gained interest is the sperm DNA fragmentation assay , which looks at the integrity of DNA in the sperm. Some data suggest that if the assay is abnormally high a high level of DNA fragmentation , lower fertilization rates, lower implantation rates, and higher miscarriage rates might result.
Men with normal semen analysis results can have abnormal DNA fragmentation results. While using sperm DNA fragmentation testing to better understand male fertility is gaining significant interest among fertility specialists, its role is not yet clearly defined, and further data is needed to determine the utility of these tests.
Since the s, a series of tests have been performed on the cells that line the uterine cavity endometrium to determine if there are certain chemical or genetic markers that predict the receptivity of the endometrium to implantation. One of these tests is the Endometrial Receptivity Assay ERA , a test in which a biopsy of the endometrium is performed typically in a non-treatment cycle , and the expression of hundreds of genes is investigated to determine the receptivity of the uterus to implantation.
It has been suggested that if the gene expression pattern from the ERA test reveals that the endometrium is not receptive on a particular day, it might provide clues as to whether a future embryo transfer should be performed a day earlier or a day later than expected. If it is not, you can freeze the embryos and transfer them in a protocol that adjusts the number of days of progesterone given prior to the transfer.
