- Change your IVF clinic
- Change the egg
- Change the uterus
- Change the sperm
- Change the embryo
Unfortunately, there are no clear
answers for most failed IVFs. If you have undergone multiple failed IVFs ,
these are the options you have in front of you :
- If you are a woman of advanced maternal age or with premature ovarian failure, it would be reasonable to try IVF with donor eggs from a young woman. In most cases this will solve the problem.
- If you are young and have still encountered several failed IVFs, try changing the clinic. However, make sure the doctor does not mechanically repeat the same treatment
- If you are obese and have metabolic disorders like PCOD or diabetes, try reducing your weight and keep your insulin and glucose levels under control and try again.
- If the above solutions do not solve your problem , then you can consider surrogacy.
- If fertilisation is occurring, then using donor sperm is unlikely to help, because 90% of the genetic abnormalities which prevent embryo development and implantation are found to arise from the egg , and not from the sperm.
- If you are unsure whether there is problem with your egg or your husband’s sperm , you can opt for donor embryos.
There is no explanation why IVF does
not work for some women. Be open to different treatment options (like donor
eggs or surrogacy); and if not, then have a plan B (like adoption or child-free
living). Never start an IVF cycle with the notion that I will succeed. It is
wiser to start with the question “What
will I do if my IVF cycle does not succeed ?”. Having such a mind-set will help
you to remain resilient and sane.
