Why IVF Fails Repeatedly and What Doctors Check

The Story in Brief

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.

The Indian Opinion

Claims that every failed IVF cycle reflects poor care, or that expensive immune tests hold the answer, oversimplify a difficult process. The report itself points to uncertain evidence for several immune markers and supports targeted testing rather than blanket add-on treatments. Couples should receive a clear review of embryo quality, uterine findings and medical conditions before paying for another cycle. Clinics should explain which test can change treatment, and which evidence supports it.
