Repeated IVF failure refers to the inability to achieve a clinical pregnancy after transferring at least four good-quality embryos across a minimum of three cycles. While many ART clinics report implantation rates between 40–60%, outcomes vary widely due to individual factors and definitions.
Several medical and lifestyle-related factors may contribute to repeated IVF failures. Identifying these is the first step toward improving success rates.
Following medical advice and lifestyle precautions can improve IVF outcomes:
Before deciding the next treatment plan, identifying the underlying cause of IVF failure is crucial. Uterine evaluation through hysteroscopy helps detect abnormalities, while Endometrial Receptivity Array (ERA) testing can determine the optimal time for embryo transfer. In cases of high sperm DNA fragmentation, advanced techniques such as MACS during ICSI can help select healthier sperm for better outcomes.
Alongside medical interventions, couples are encouraged to adopt a healthier lifestyle, manage stress, and choose an experienced fertility consultant. With proper guidance and tailored treatment, the chances of achieving a successful pregnancy can significantly improve.
