What is Repeated IVF Failure?
Repeated IVF failure, while emotionally challenging, is a common concern for couples undergoing fertility treatment. This situation occurs when multiple in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles fail to result in a successful pregnancy. While each case is unique and may have its specific underlying causes, several common factors may contribute to repeated IVF failure:
- Age-related Decline in Egg Quality: Advanced maternal age is a significant factor affecting egg quality and quantity, leading to decreased embryo quality and lower implantation rates.
- Embryo Quality: Poor embryo quality, characterized by abnormalities in embryo development or chromosomal abnormalities, can reduce the likelihood of successful implantation and pregnancy.
- Uterine Factors: Uterine abnormalities, such as uterine fibroids, polyps, or adhesions, can impair embryo implantation and may contribute to repeated IVF failure.
