(My first cycle of IVF failed. What should I do next?): IVF is a process of becoming pregnant by artificial means where fertilization takes place in a laboratory with the aid of assisted reproductive technology. It is an intricate process in which the woman has to undergo a stressful and time-consuming treatment, which demands a lot of patience and emotional resilience from the side of the patient undergoing the treatment. And when the patient fails to achieve the desired results, they experience the overwhelming emotions of sadness, disappointment, and frustration. However, they have no option but to accept the failure and give themselves some time to get over the dreadful experience.
If you’re one of the women who have experienced failure in their first IVF cycle, sometimes it happens that the treatment may prove to be successful in the second or third attempt. That being said, IVF may not be successful even after several attempts as some causes cannot be corrected, but can be identified to make an improved attempt to increase the chances of IVF treatment resulting in pregnancy.
At Select IVF India, our IVF specialists make sure that you experience pregnancy in the IVF attempt by applying all their skills and expertise in successfully performing the IVF treatment. Even if you had a failed IVF attempt, our expert fertility doctors cautiously diagnose the possible cause for such failure and consequently, make an attempt to correct the problem to significantly increase the chances of your pregnancy in the next IVF cycle.
Possible causes of IVF cycle failure.
There are various factors that decide the probability of achieving success in an IVF treatment such as the age of woman as the woman produces less fertile eggs with the decline in her age, bad embryo quality, and poor ovarian response to the medication that is crucial for increasing the chances of conception through IVF. However, below are some other causes for the failed IVF cycle.
- The eggs collected from the egg retrieval process do not fertilize effectively and properly
- Cancellation of IVF treatment before beginning the egg retrieval procedure as enough follicles could not be produced for initiating the process
- Unavailability of the embryo for the process of embryo transfer due to various reasons
- The eggs retrieved from the egg retrieval process are of poor quality or there maybe no eggs retrieved
- Embryos transferred into the uterus may fail to successfully attach to the lining of the uterus for different reasons
