Failed first IVF cycle? What’s next?

If your first In Vitro Fertilization cycle has failed, don’t feel disheartened. A failed IVF cycle is not an indicator for the success of future attempts – we need to understand what went wrong and take corrective measures to ensure success the next time around. There are three prerequisites for a successful pregnancy – a healthy body, a normal uterus, and an embryo that is viable and each of these aspects – need to be looked into in detail to ensure the success of future IVF procedures. Today, there are advanced tests that can be used to determine the quality of embryos and select the best quality ones out of the available pool for implantation, thereby increasing the success of IVF cycles and also of having healthy IVF babies which are free from genetic anomalies. Patients with more adverse factors such as advanced age of the woman, or poor quality sperms, or pre-existing conditions such as endometriosis, PCOD, etc will require more IVF attempts to get a successful pregnancy.
