# Why IVF Fails Repeatedly and What Doctors Check 2026-08-07T09:51:24+00:00 | Health & Science | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Repeated IVF failure can stem from embryo abnormalities, uterine conditions, hormonal disorders or lifestyle factors, Times Now News reports. Doctors generally consider recurrent failure when clinical pregnancy does not follow transfers of multiple good-quality embryos across at least two planned cycles. Chromosomal abnormalities may affect embryos despite a healthy appearance, with risks linked to age, egg quality, ovarian reserve and sperm DNA damage. Polyps, fibroids, adhesions, endometriosis, adenomyosis, pelvic tuberculosis and chronic endometritis can affect implantation. Doctors may also check thyroid function, prolactin, diabetes, insulin resistance, obesity and PCOS. The report says routine testing for natural killer cells and unproven immune treatments is not recommended without a clear indication. Evaluation may include hysteroscopy, metabolic and hormonal tests, selected genetic testing and a review of earlier IVF protocols. ## Coverage - timesnownews.com Tags: embryo quality, fertility, IVF, reproductive medicine, women’s health Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/why-ivf-fails-repeatedly-and-what-doctors-check/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
