WHAT TO DO IF IVF FAILS AGAIN?
2

• Many women with unsuccessful IVF cycles will
  succeed on their second or third attempt.
• Not all problems affecting IVF efficiency can be
  solved, but some problems can be solved to
  improve the chances of pregnancy in the next
  cycle.

Age

• The age of the female partner is the most
  important predictor of IVF success.
• As women get older, their eggs become older,
  fewer eggs are produced, and the quality of the
  eggs decreases.
• It starts in your thirties and accelerates after
  you reach the age of 37.
• According to the survey, the chance of live birth
  from an IVF cycle using fresh non-donor eggs is
  about 32 for a 35-year-old woman but only 12
  for a 41- or 42-year-old woman.

Embryos Quality

• Another reason for IVF cycle failure is poor
  embryo production.
• Usually, chromosomal or genetic defects prevent
  the embryo from implanting and maturing.
• Older eggs are more likely to produce
  poor-quality embryos.
• Poor-quality embryos can also be the result of
  sperm defects and morphological problems.

6
Ovarian Reaction

• Many eggs are produced by the ovaries in response
  to fertility medication, which is essential for
  successful IVF.
• Due to hormonal disturbances, which can occur in
  women with normal reserves in some cycles or even
  when there are fewer eggs in their ovaries than
  expected, in some cases, women cannot produce
  more than one egg.
• If you are over 37, you are more likely to have a
  subpar response if you have high FSH
  (follicle-stimulating hormone) or low AMH
  (anti-Müllerian hormone) levels.

How to prepare for the next cycle?

• Before your next visit, your fertility specialist
  will carefully review your cycle history,
  including problems with ovarian stimulation, egg
  quality or quantity, embryo formation, or embryo
  transfer to your uterus.

• If you experience problems with ovarian
  stimulation or egg production, your doctor may
  suggest changing the medication used in the next
  stimulation procedure.
• If the eggs and embryos are healthy, a second IVF
  cycle can be successful.
• Some doctors recommend hysteroscopy to help
  regenerate the endometrium and thus increase the
  chances of implantation in the next cycle.

• If a strong genetic cause is suspected or you
  have a history of repeated miscarriages, your
  doctor may recommend preimplantation genetic
  screening (PGS) to screen embryos in your next
  IVF cycle.
• PGS is performed before implantation.
• This procedure involves removing a biopsy from
  the fetus and examining the cells for the number
  of chromosomes.
• This allows experts to select healthy embryos
  that are free of genetic abnormalities.
• If the eggs and embryos are found to be healthy
  and no other problems are found, your second IVF
  cycle can have the expected results.
