You've decided to undergo in-vitro fertilization procedure to get pregnant. After the waiting period lapsed, you find out that it ended as an IVF failed. How frustrating!
You are not alone in that situation. Infertility has become a global issue among women from all races and background and the numbers keep on growing everyday. Infertility itself is already a problem and when you find out that the only hope you have to conceive failed, the pain could be unbearable. IVF is generally recommended by doctors only after all other fertility methods have failed. Still, the procedure never guarantees success and IVF failed usually occurs.
IVF failed refers to failure of implantation. This means that infertile couples have been subjected to several IVF cycles and was able to produce viable embryos, but time and again, embryo implantation does not occur for some inexplicable reasons. The whole IVF process is very challenging and even time-consuming. It's not surprising why most patients are upset and disappointed after IVF failed most especially when their doctors fail to give clear explanation as to why it happened or tell them what to do to increase their chances of successful IVF the next time. Oftentimes, some give up due to financial reasons because IVF procedure is really expensive. Thus, they embrace the fact that they are not destined to have a child.
Why IVF Failed
There is no clear reason why implantation failure takes place. However, there are some speculations why this happens. One common reason is due to poor response of the ovaries. The patient produces few eggs and embryos despite taking fertility medications to stimulate the ovaries to produce more eggs. Another possible reason is cervical stenosis. This happens during transfer of embryos to the woman's womb. This is characterized pain and bleeding. While successful implantation of the embryo depends on the embryo's health, chromosomally abnormal embryos will fail to implant even if they appear normal. Research shows that as much as 50 percent of good-looking embryos are chromosomally abnormal.
What to do after the IVF Failed
Your doctor will be realistic by informing you that pregnancy after the first IVF cycle rarely happens. On average, it takes at least three IVF cycles before pregnancy is established. You will be given the discretion to decide if you go for another IVF cycle after the cycle of IVF failed. Moreover, your doctor may recommend treating your failed implantation. However, these treatments may cause some side effects to the patient's body and risk of causing brain damage to baby. On the other hand, your doctor may know of other methods to treat your failed IVF.
